by Quinny_555

“Th’s feels like an abdu’tion,” the guy slurred, blinking slowly up at Arthur. “Most- most people don't h’ve drivers ‘n call.” Arthur snorted. “I offered to take you to the hospital,” he pointed out. The man hummed. “Could’ve been lying,” he retorted as Arthur maneuvered his head to lay in his lap. Arthur nodded. “Yes, I suppose I could. But there’s nothing you can do about it now, hmm?”Or Merlin runs into Arthur while running from his would-be kidnappers.

A Tale of Two Kings

by eri_quin

After managing to save both King Cenred and King Uther, both held captive in Camelot’s walls, Merlin must set out with them to retrieve Excalibur. But with her magic bound and not able to do much but parlor tricks and healing spells, Merlin fears she will be useless and unable to save Camelot in time. Hoping to also find a way to fix her magic, her focus is narrowed and unable to see the wolves besides her. She felt anxious at being so close to these two very dangerous men; one who was a magic-hating king, while the other was a former enemy who had just been working alongside an enemy sorceress. "Go to meet Arthur. I'll be back after I've retrieved what I'm supposed to." She told them and left them without another word. She had to leave not just the castle, but Camelot itself. Soon enough she had reached the end and found herself peeking out, around a door and to the courtyard. "Anything?" "No…" she mumbled, confused at the lack of guards. Then she registered the question and whirled around. There behind her were the two kings.

Lost and Found

by paintedpigeon

“The heavy bruising’s unfortunate, although I imagine a bit of makeup will cover it up for the state visit.”“What state visit? And why am I involved?”“Camelot is coming.” Cenred raises an eyebrow, waiting for Merlin’s response, but when nothing comes he continues, “Two weeks from now. They’ll be here for a month for treaty negotiations, and I want you serving.”Well. That one’s new. “What if they recognise me?”Cenred chuckles. “I don’t intend on you getting too close, Merlin. You’re to attend me during public events, that’s all. And they won’t recognise you. They think you’re dead, after all. But if you do anything, and I mean anything, to help them remember... well. Ealdor’s a dangerous place.” Merlin swallows, and he knows Cenred knows he understands. When an Essetirian patrol discovers Merlin’s magic on a visit home, he’s taken for the army – until Cenred discovers who he is and decides that he’d be more use to reveal Camelot’s secrets. A year later, presumed dead by everyone he loves, a delegation from Camelot visits Essetir for treaty negotiations.
