    Summary

    Arthur watched, unable to fully comprehend the events that had seemingly just crashed and burned in front of him rather than calmly unfold. He turned to look at the other knights who only shrugged as Mordred sank lower into his seat, lips pressed into a pout as he picked at his food.

    “I…” He started and paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts “Why do you want Merlin to like you so badly?” He finally sighed. Mordred stopped playing with his food, glancing up before looking at the door the servant in question had exited through

    “Because he’s Merlin.” He said as if that provided any sort of answer.

    Arthur didn’t deserve this. He did his best to be a good person. Maybe this was some kind of divine intervention saying he needed to up his charity game. He needed to give the lower town a bigger tax break or something. Perhaps ride out and save three more damsels than usual.

    "He has a point," Gwaine piped up as he inhaled another mead "He is Merlin."

    Or
     
    Merlin hates Mordred and Mordred is determined to put an end to that. Arthur is convinced that this child is after his man.

    Summary

    Years ago, when Merlin had only just started as Arthur’s manservant, Arthur found the idiot standing awkwardly in his chambers, flushed and embarrassed and smelling like the barest outer edge of heat.

    “I forgot to take my herbs,” he explained, twisting his hands together. “I’m sorry. I have to--”

    Arthur waved a hand to forestall any explanation. “When should I expect you back?”

    “Three days ought to do it,” Merlin replied, visibly relieved. “Thank you, sire.”

    Summary

    “What did you do now Merlin?”

    “Got cursed.”

    Merlin slumped into the room and fell onto the bench of the table across from Gaius, laying his head dramatically on a book of something or other Arthur didn’t bother to look too closely at.

    “Cursed.” Gaius echoed, unimpressed.

    “Cursed.” Merlin sighed back, like some kind of weepy maiden.

    “He can’t lie,” Arthur supplied, walking further into the room and standing behind Merlin, pushing his head off the book roughly. Merlin squawked and glared at him before shaking his head and turning back to Gaius.

    "It gets worse."

    Arthur hadn't really given his soulmate much thought, until he beat a peasant with a broomstick and every blow hurt like he was hitting himself.
