Summary
Lady Enid managed two days in Camelot before the council composed a formal letter to Arthur questioning Lady Enid’s sanity, and by proxy, his own. [...]
Gwaine sat up and leaned in next to him on the grass, reading over Merlin’s shoulder. “See there, Lord Ellis claims she called him a toad.”
“She did not,” Merlin said and held up the two papers in front of him, “but I marked down the page. She said something about him ‘frogging around’ the issue and, ‘having no leg to stand on’, it was difficult to see how he could ‘jump to such conclusions’.”
Gwaine guffawed and laid down again, his armour clanking as he began to tug on the buckles. “So, she called him a legless toad.”
Merlin settled back against the tree. “I’m impressed Lord Ellis even caught it.”Or: When Arthur invited Lady Enid to inspect Camelot, Merlin thought Arthur lost his mind, but when he lets her stay to wreak further havoc in Camelot, unveiling secrets, upsetting status quos and campaining for a Merlin's own political advancement - be it by marriage or by cunning alone - Merlin is sure Arthur has gone insane for good.

Summary
“Merlin…” Arthur said as he slowly started to reach for his sword. “Don’t…Move…”
“No, no, no! Arthur, it’s alright!” Merlin said as he moved (because obviously he ignored Arthur’s orders and moved) in front of the desk. “She’s just saying hello!”
“That’s a dragon.” Arthur informed him. Merlin looked over his shoulder for a moment.
“No, it isn’t.”
There was a pause.
“Yes, it is.”
“No.” Merlin shook his head. “It…Uh, is not…A dragon.”
“Then what the Hell is it?!” Arthur asked, not letting his eyes drift away from the fire breathing demon. Yeah. That was definitely a dragon. Merlin clicked his tongue before also staring behind him.
“It is…A…Bird…”
There was another pause.
“You’re really sticking with that?”
“I am, thank you.”
Or
Merlin has to convince the King of Camelot that he is not, in fact, in possession of a dragon. Luckily, the rest of the kingdom has already been won over by the baby dragon and is quite willing to aid in this quest.

Summary
“Why? Why can’t I have what the others have? I don’t want this.”
He wanted the flowers and festive wine; the vows of chastity and marriage. He wanted the menageries of animals that were given sanctuary in the temples of other gods. He did not want blood or pain. He did not want the fear he had seen in the animal’s eyes.
“War is an ugly thing when humans have nothing to respect. You will be that rallying point that brings stability to the chaos.”
Derek clenched his eyes shut, knowing that he’d never have a moment’s peace if his life was to glorify such carnage.

Summary
“Actually going to die a virgin,” Stiles is muttering and Derek tries, fiercely hard, not to think about that one too much. Stiles is too alluring as he is with his ridiculous mouth, and his stupid wide, warm eyes that always look at Derek like he’s trying to figure him out. That sometimes even make Derek think he can do something, he can fix something, he can be more. Derek… Derek can’t go there.
