    Summary

    Arthur lives and returns to Camelot, with Merlin -and his magic, at his side. Merlin is now Arthur's advisor and discovers Guinevere to be unfaithful. What's he to do? Spare Arthur the misery or keep it hidden because of what that conniving dragon had told him about her being queen? He's already promised Arthur no more secrets.

    "Without a second thought Arthur had agreed to this ritual, not even glancing her way, but she had agreed, later. The father to take the son’s betrothed to bed before his marriage; to “gaze” upon her and approve of her virtue for the son.
    Merlin had said he didn’t like it. Then again, the warlock didn’t like lots of things, apparently, which he had never mentioned before The Reveal, which yes, was capitalised on paper, the one he personally titled for a sulking Merlin to write all his sins upon. He always thought Merlin liked polishing his sword… considering how obsessed he was with it."

    Or

    "From now on when you encounter strawberries," Merlin told him, "Give them to me. They're my favourite."

    This managed to pull a sweet smile from Gwaine, who melted back into Merlin's waiting arms and kissed his temple in a hurry, before shoving a handful of strawberries into his lap and making a run for it.

    Elyan wrestled a guard for his spear and hefted it over his shoulder.

    "For Camelot" He screamed, making them all flinch, or lose their shit, or both, then ran after the rascal.

    Summary

    In the wake of killing Carleon, Arthur realises that this is not the sort of King he wants to be. So he asks Merlin how he knew about Agravaine, and to his surprise, Merlin gives him an extremely sound and well researched set of arguments, that he promises he has the physical papers to back up.

    Or

    "And what of me, Merlin? When you are dead." Arthur demanded, eyes pinning him to their proximity. "Do you truly expect me to let go of you long enough for them to lay you to rest?"

    Merlin inhaled sharply, for a moment Arthur thought he would protest, insist his life was nothing compared to Arthur's, but Merlin only looked at Arthur, as if he was measuring the depth of his words, the give of his eyes, and Arthur refused to look away, he thought that if he squinted, he could see the stars in Merlin's eyes.

    Summary

    As a joke, the knights enter Merlin in a tournament, only to find he is much better with a sword than they ever could have imagined.

    "Yes, I've just been going over the sign up sheet for today's tournament when I noticed your name on it."

    "My name?" he repeats, as the color drains from his face.

    He points to the bottom of the page. "That is your name is it not?"
