Summary
An alternate ending to 4x05. When Merlin interrupts Arthur's negotiations with Queen Annis she agrees to Trial by Single Combat, but only if Arthur's servant is the Champion. With little other choice Arthur must agree and face losing his longest and oldest friend. But as much as this has turned Arthur's world into chaos Merlin seems strangely confident.
Or: Merlin is the champion for Camelot in 4x05 instead of Arthur and fights the best way he knows how. Magic Reveal.

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?
