    Summary

    Arthur had always said that a warrior being wounded in battle was nothing more than the natural order of things. It was the cost of knighthood. The price of loyalty. The proof of courage.

    From the time he was old enough to hold a wooden sword, he had been taught to wear injury like a badge. Blood on steel, bruises beneath armor. A prince did not flinch. A future king did not falter. And a warrior certainly did not fear wounds, no matter how deep.

    Summary

    Gwaine laughs so hard he needs to sit down, landing heavily on the rickety chair in his chamber, and then so hard that he actually can't breathe and he's momentarily afraid he might die from it.

    "Well," he says when he's recovered enough to speak. "Our King has finally managed to get hold of the right stick, at least, even if he is firmly grasping it by the wrong end."

    Merlin glares at him, like he can't see why this is the funniest thing Gwaine has ever heard. "What the hell did you say to him?"

    A throwaway comment leads Arthur to an inevitable conclusion: Gwaine is a sorcerer, and has been protecting him and his knights with magic for years. There's only one thing to do – repeal the ban on magic.

    Now if only he could work out why this makes Merlin so angry.

    Summary

    The thing is, Arthur knows how to cut a man down. What he doesn't know is how to stop his emotions from spilling out when a dagger makes an uncomfortable home in his manservant's gut.

    Summary

    "Tell me it was Lancelot who felled the beast."

    Arthur's voice is unwavering but Merlin feels in his soul that he is begging.

    "Arthur," Merlin entreats, hands flattening and curling restlessly against the desk in front of him, shifting forward in his chair. "I- the griffin-"

    "Yes or no," Arthur seethes.

    OR

    Arthur is awake when Merlin enchants the spear that kills the Griffin.
