“Did you hate my father?”
“What?”
“Did you hate him?” Arthur said. “Come on, Merlin. You’re a sorcerer, aren’t you?”Following the revelation that Merlin is a sorcerer, he and Arthur have come to a temporary agreement that Merlin may use magic in secret—but only with Arthur’s express permission. While Merlin is eager for the chance to prove himself, Arthur is wary. The opportunity to consult his father’s spirit forces Arthur’s resolve—and the fragile peace of their friendship—into question.

Summary
Arthur has wanted love for as long as he can remember. His childhood was full of shame; shame for asking and shame for wanting. Merlin comes along and challenges everything he's been taught.
-----
He never stopped wanting. But he did stop begging, stop asking. It was wrong; distasteful. Good boys did not ask for love, they earned glimpses of it in nods of the head and the rare ‘good job,' only when earned. -

Summary
Will had told Madoc not to mess with that crumbling magic book. Madoc had turned his DEFCON-one-grade pleading eyes on Will, though, and Will, predictably, had caved immediately.
Now, of course, they were apparently stuck in Ancient Wales. Fantastic. Will kind of liked that he could throw his phone out with impunity, but Madoc's grumbling wasn't very pleasant, especially considering it was Madoc's fault they were here in the first place, like.
Will could also definitely do without the Arthur-lookalike ranting about how magic was evil and corrupted the soul and all. This Arthur was definitely more annoying than the one Will knew, that much was certain.

Summary
Leon had known there was magic in the castle for years.
He may be the First Knight, but he certainly wasn’t going to turn in the person making his job of protecting the ruler of Camelot easier.
Leon had turned a blind eye for years. He had misdirected others who got too close to the truth, and covered any and all traces he found, all for the continued protection of the then prince, now king, Arthur.
One day, magic was used to save the king once again, but this time it was used in plain sight, in front of the whole court.
The fact that magic saved his king didn’t surprise Leon in the slightest, but the fact that it came from Merlin very much did.
What were the odds that both Arthur and Merlin had magic?

Summary
Arthur cups the earthenware bowl in his hands and slurps the whole thing down with a speed that borders on desperation, all the while staring at the spoon disappearing inside Merlin’s mouth time and time again as he eats his own. It’s stupid, to be jealous of a spoon. Just like it’s stupid to freeze to death after only a few hours of riding in the wind-whipped rain. Just like it’s stupid to be in love with your servant boy you can’t marry even if you wanted to.
