Summary
In a flash of motion the blade of Excalibur rests against the hollow of Merlin's neck.
‘You are not fighting back,’ Arthur breathes with the shock and disgust a man can only feel when expecting pain and not receiving it, ‘is it out of trust, or do you truly not care if you die?’
‘If it is by your hand, I would make no attempt to stop it’ Merlin replies, breathing just as heavy, a small shake of his head and scrunch of his brow - as if the answer were obvious. If this was what the king wanted - if this was how a destiny ends - for once in his life Merlin would comply with the order freely.
-------
During a bandit attack Arthur discovers Merlin's magic.
How will this change them? Or have they already changed too much for it to matter?Can you truly hide who you are, or are you doomed to be known?

Summary
“Very well.” Annis looks back to Arthur. “You will have your trial by combat. However,” she says, “I will choose your champion.”
Arthur’s head snaps up. For a moment, he’s clearly uncomfortable, then his expression clears and he squares his shoulders. “As you wish. You have your pick of any one of my men.”
“Him.” Annis’ eyes do not leave Arthur’s. “At noon tomorrow, your servant will fight on behalf of Camelot.”

Summary
“I thought you might have some stories.” Arthur says, like this is a perfectly ordinary thing for him to suggest.
“Stories,” Merlin repeats.
“I don’t see any acrobats jumping out to entertain us.”
“Very funny.”
Arthur knocks their shoulders together with surprising gentleness. “Go on,” he goads. “Surely you’ve got at least one good story.”
Or, Arthur and Merlin are trapped by a rockfall. Arthur wants to know about Ealdor. Merlin wants to get out of this without having to reveal his magic.

Summary
“One of my girls mentioned she saw a new face at the market today. A pretty boy looking for employment. I have a proposition for you, if you want to accompany me inside,” the woman said.
Her voice was warm and her smile almost motherly. It made Merlin ache for the comfort of his home. He looked at her uncertainly. Merlin may have had a sheltered upbringing in his small farming village, but he could imagine what kind of work she had to offer him, and he wasn’t sure he wanted it. Still, he stood up, shaking slightly from hunger and exhaustion. There was something in this woman’s eyes that compelled Merlin to trust her.
