Summary
“Never wander alone, my darling, or Jenny Grinteeth will get you,” Hunith used to say. “Or if you forget, make sure you say the rhyme - that wards her off.”
Jenny Grinteeth leave me be, my mother loves me, leave me be.
Jenny Grinteeth is a game they play. But as Merlin is sucked into life at Camelot, he wanders alone more than ever. He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him. The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.

Summary
When Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.
However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.

Summary
Merlin hisses as the harsh metal digs into his wrists. There are rumours that The Mighty Emrys, emphasis on the capital letters, wouldn’t bend to cold iron’s will…and yet. It’s hard to believe such innocent looking metal – or innocent as chains can be – could be the cause of such immutable pain. Don’t get him wrong, Merlin has been through his fair share of injuries and attempts on his life (some more successful than others, thank you immortality) but this? This is unlike anything he’s felt before.
[Merlin's magic is revealed after yet another bandit attack. Arthur doesn't react well. And as it turns out, cold iron is bad, folks! Way angstier than I expected this idea to be. Would you believe me if I said I just want everyone to be happy? No? Okay.]

Summary
Arthur is relieved when Balinor the Dragonlord agrees to help, but dismayed when he refuses to come back to Camelot. Instead, Arthur is stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere while Balinor calls the dragon. To make matters worse, Arthur’s idiot manservant clearly has a massive crush on the guy: despite him being a grumpy, straggly, cave-dwelling sorcerer, who makes terrible cabbage pottage, Merlin hasn’t taken his eyes off him! Arthur will tolerate this nonsense for a couple of days, but only because he must save Camelot.

Yet, when the eldest Pendragon of the Bloody Tyrant Uther, runs scared into his realm, unbalanced and half mad, what’s Magic Itself to do but lend a kind hand?

Summary
“Why not?” Arthur began, shrugging lightly, dismissively “You need blood to live which I have. Why not let you take nourishment from me?”
“You make this absurd suggestion sound so easy.” Merlin replied testily “I could kill you.”
“You could kill me long before this.” Arthur snorted mirthfully, “You spoke of that fact very often actually.”
“Do not jest about this━not about this” Merlin snapped, his voice sounded afraid even to his own ears. He blinked away the tears threatening to fall, his lower lip quivered “I could lose control━lose myself. I will not endanger your life to satisfy my hunger.”

After spending weeks unbearably hungry, Merlin confessed that Gaius’s blood-like potions aren’t curbing his newfound appetite. So, Arthur offered an interesting solution to his problem. The warlock isn’t into the idea at first, but he may grow to relish his lover’s trust.
