    Summary

    “I can’t run all over the world with you, my lord, I can’t follow you the way I used to,” Merlin says.
    “It’s alright. We can walk,” Arthur says.
    “Arthur.”
    “Merlin. This is our destiny. You and me and a new golden age. It was foretold, wasn’t it?”
    “People have expectations,” Merlin sighs. “And you meet them. Obviously. Look at you. But I’m not—I’m not what people want from a Merlin of legend.”
    “No, you’re much better groomed.”
    “So that’s a ‘no’ on the Great Beard Experiment of 850?”

     

    (Arthur awakens in the modern era to bring back a Golden Age. He makes himself a media darling and realizes, after everything that can go wrong with that does, that he needs to find Merlin, since Merlin doesn't seem interested in finding him first. He tracks Merlin down, only to learn Merlin was in a car accident and is permanently disabled.)

    Summary

    Someone in the Camelot (Merlin) has rooted out a spy on the council. This anonymous person (who is obviously Merlin) put this accusation into a long letter, full of evidence from a thorough investigation and infiltration of the spy's circle within the staff. Arthur is remarkably impressed with this mystery detective (again, Merlin) and becomes set on uncovering their identity.

    Merlin didn't think things would get out of hand. He only wanted to get rid of the spy publicly and legally, so he forewent the magic and decided to conduct a counterintelligence mission for months to gather evidence the old-fashioned way—like anyone would! But suddenly Arthur is searching for him, and magic or not, he learned a long time ago to stay in the shadows.

    George is so tired. It is so obvious. King Arthur is disappointingly unobservant, and George cannot take this much longer.

    Summary

    A flash of terribly familiar golden light filled the clearing, a deafening boom sent the knights flying backwards, and then, at last, a pair of blue eyes opened once more.

    And they were met in return with the sight of shimmering gold eyes.

    As it dawned on everyone what exactly had just happened, Arthur’s battle-proven instincts kicked in and overtook his petrified mind once more, playing out his body’s natural response to any worst-case scenario:

    Grab Merlin and run.
    ~
    Alternatively: After a ritual goes disastrously wrong, Merlin's magic has been transferred to Arthur, who is still unaware that Merlin has magic in the first place. Believing himself to be a danger to everyone around him, Arthur sets out to live the rest of his life in self-imposed exile.
    Suffice it to say, Merlin has some objections to Arthur's plans.

    Summary

    Merlin and Arthur share an unspoken arrangement. On rare evenings, they drink to excess, casting aside their cares and responsibilities, and spending the nights together in secret. Neither of them speaks of these encounters; it's a wordless ritual, full of glances and gestures, understood but never spoken aloud. In these scarce, stolen hours, they find solace, escape and a fleeting sense of companionship they can't find elsewhere.

    Under the pressure of building feelings and an interrupted evening, Merlin begins to ask the question: How much longer will this be enough?
