Summary
Arthur was tipped back against the wall, his mouth open for breath and staring at the small arrow-slit window over Merlin's head, trying to work out how it could possibly be that good with Merlin, of all people.

Summary
Arthur's been missing Merlin for a long time, but he's doing his best to be a good king. Camelot is flourishing, his knights are doing great deeds, and his subjects love him as they never loved his father. And then reports come: a young queen is amassing an army of sorcerers in the west as she prepares to do battle with Camelot. And that's not the worst news.
Apparently, the queen has the most powerful sorcerer in the world at her side. His name is Emrys.

Summary
Duke Ben-something-or-other clears his throat and looks Merlin up and down. “Apologies, my lord, I have not introduced myself. I am Duke Benedict Earl James the Fourteenth." He stands and bows.
“And I’m Merlin.” Merlin scratches his armpit.
Arthur rolls his eyes. “He means your title, idiot.”
“Oh. I’m the Court Jester.”

Summary
"“Emrys,” said Gaius, raising the Eyebrow of Disappointment and flicking his gaze to where Merlin stood behind Arthur’s chair. “That is who you wish to have as your court sorcerer.”
Arthur nodded gravely, every eye in the council meeting upon him. “Camelot is dangerously close to division even now that sorcery is legal. We need someone who will unite us all, and I cannot settle for less. I’ll send riders out at first light chasing rumours and follow up any promising leads we have myself.”
He looked so beautiful when he said it, every inch the king, with the sunlight through the windows turning him gold. His voice had taken on that richness that sometimes infused Arthur’s words – that for the good of the kingdom voice, that let it be so voice, the voice that Merlin had come to understand meant another brick laid on the road to Albion.
Unfortunately, that voice had been co-opted for a fucking farce."
Or - In which magic is legal and Merlin is still lying for reasons that are absolutely, totally 100% valid and have nothing to do with his love for Arthur
