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
Soulmates AU!
During the Great Purge, Uther Pendragon banished every type of magic, with the only exception of the one shared to all the crown, every crown of every kindom: SoulMate's mark, the one who would have always had your back, something more than a brother, more than a companion. And it doesn't imply romance, but only a strong loyalty and solidariety between the two people. -

Summary
Merlin goes to see Gaius when Agravaine gives him the dagger to be gifted to Arthur instead of to the armory. He wants reassurance that he matters and that he should stay and not abandon his destiny.
He wasn't expecting to end up kidnapped along with Gaius by the Catha hired by Morgana and Agravaine.
And he certainly wasn't expecting to be taken to the Catha home to be trained by them to become an ambassador for magic to Camelot when it was all over.
Arthur can't let go of the argument he and Merlin had when Agravaine had accused Gaius of keeping secrets. He gathers Gwaine and Leon to keep him in check when he goes to talk to Merlin, only to find their rooms a mess and the pair missing.
After some reflection, he starts to see what Merlin had meant about Agravaine and has him arrested.
He talks with his knights to figure out what he should do next.

Summary
George nodded to empty air with a huff, silently agreeing with himself as he approached the King’s chambers to inform him of his presence being requested on the training grounds by a young knight he had been serving. He stopped outside the doors to King Arthur’s chambers, before raising his hand to knock. He hesitated when he heard the voice of the King inside, though.
“I’m lifting the ban on magic, Merlin.”
___
Sometimes, even perfect servants like George can't resist the temptation to listen in when they know they shouldn't.
