    Summary

    It’s there, suffocating under the golden hues of the morning sun, that Arthur first experienced what it must feel like to truly believe in something.
    -----
    Sometimes, he’d hear someone wax poetic about their faith. [..]

    They’d all told him about the same - that one day they just knew. They looked around at the world around them and found miracles and intention. Realized that surely, something or someone had to be the cause. Surely, there was a point to this. There was meaning.

    Arthur had never understood it. He’d never needed faith. Never needed blind obedience, or trust in some entity he could not see much less touch. Did not experience that Knowing.

    Merlin knelt beside him, chin up and hands low, and yet Arthur felt like the one who was praying. Felt the buzz at the center of his chest; the twitch of his hands at the need to - to say something. Do something. Let that Knowing escape him like a hymn.

    Summary

    Merlin kept getting hurt because:

    1. The king’s chambers held the most comfortable bed he’d ever known.
    2. Injuries offered rare, guilt-free stretches of rest.
    3. When he was hurt, Arthur turned unfailingly tender.
    4. And sometimes… Arthur went beyond tenderness.

    Summary

    He’s got a thousand reasons to blast this godsforsaken door off its bloody hinges, and only one, really, to stay.

    Arthur.

    And bollocks, but that one reason outweighs them all. Always has.

    Never mind that it’s Arthur who put him here.

    Summary

    “Truth spell,” Merlin said. “The sorcerer from earlier, the one in the woods. The dust he threw over us.”

    “You should go tell the others,” Arthur said.

    “I can’t.”

    “Why not?”

    “I’m under the spell too.”

    Arthur raised an eyebrow. “And you’re in the habit of lying?”

    “Yes,” Merlin said helplessly.
