    Summary

    "Ah, Merlin," Arthur said, looking up from his desk. "I expect you have my speech ready for tomorrow?"

    Merlin nodded and approached the desk. He bowed his head as he put the scroll down then kept it bowed before moving back and standing in front of him.

    Arthur, immediately, was suspicious.

    "Merlin? Is something the matter?"

    Merlin didn't answer, just keeping his head down.

    Summary

    "I'm pretty sure it's another initiation attempt. He tried to convince me to participate in....some sort of 'prank' against the queen?" Mordred shrugged, still confused by the conversation. "I'm just concerned. If someone fell for that, they could seriously upset Morgana!"

    Leon starred at him blankly for a moment. A long, slightly awkward moment. He slowly tilted his head. Mordred felt a shiver run down his back.

    "If only things were so easy." Leon finally sighed, "If only the king could be so lucky."

    --
    or; there is a secret civil war in camelot that Mordred is only just now learning about, and his doesn't get why no one else seems to see the problem with it.

    Summary

    "I know what you’re trying to do. You know that if I go to Morgana then she’ll know who Emrys is. But you can’t take that, can you? So you’re trying to lure me back to Camelot so that your identity is safe. So that your king is safe.” Mordred snarled.

    “This is not about Morgana or Arthur. I pushed you away. I made decisions that I’m not particularly proud of.”

    Mordred shook his head. “You hated me. Don’t think I didn’t see it. You nearly tried to kill me as a child and I still looked up to you. I’m done with that. I always thought that Emrys would be our savior but you’re nothing but a failure.”

    (aka the mordred reveal)

    Summary

    Mordred wouldn’t trade Camelot for anything, but he can’t help but feel separated from his home culture when it’s a significant druid holiday and he’s unable to celebrate, as he still has to keep who he is a secret.

    He thinks he can handle it, but the homesickness overwhelms him. Fortunately, Merlin and Arthur are good friends.
