Summary
“If the king is so concerned about Merlin,” he asks, looking at Leon, “Why does he always take him along on quests and patrols? It’s not necessary to bring a servant, and he’s clearly worried—”
Leon smiles. “We’ve often asked the same thing,” he says, and shrugs. “But I don’t think Merlin would allow himself to be left behind, so any argument is moot.”
“He could order him,” Mordred says.
“Merlin would just follow,” Leon says. “It’s easier to include him from the start. Sometimes, I think those two just need to be close to each other. Hard enough to keep them apart anyway, even at the beginning, when they were just constantly sniping at each other.”
When Mordred looks back, Arthur’s arm is around Merlin’s shoulder, and he is smiling broadly. Merlin’s eyes are bright and focused on Arthur, and his lips are tugged upwards, as if he can’t quite stop himself.
Merlin loves Arthur to the point of fear, Mordred realises.

15 years later, he finds himself on the set of a music video that hits a little too close to home.
He still knows what he wants. But after all this time, what does Elyan want?

Summary
The guard hefted his weapon when he saw them, unimpressed by their presence, and showed all his teeth. “You can turn tail and run back to wherever you came from,” he said, snarling, “or I can kill you.”
The Sorcerer stepped forward, sweeping back his hood to reveal the golden glow of his eyes. “I’d like to see you try.”
“Very smooth,” Morgana said, expression caught halfway between an eye roll and a smile.
“That’s me,” Merlin agreed cheerfully. He glanced over at Arthur behind his dungeon master screen, leafing through his Monster Manual. “What do I have to roll, oh omniscient DM?”
