Summary
Merlin, despite the dragon’s warning, reveals himself to Morgana and offers a helping hand. Arthur finds out about Morgana and then about Merlin. But instead of going to his father to have them on a pyre, he helps them.
Merlin, Morgana, Arthur and Gwen start working on helping magic users and generally everyone, whom Uther dismisses as unimportant. The four of them stand united, even against the forces of destiny.
So much for Kilgharrah’s prophecies...- Language:

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?
