Summary
Aerion decides that having a new, very big, very strong personal guard suits him better than going through the ordeal of a trial. Baelor and Maekar decide that having someone to control Aerion isn't such a bad idea. And Dunk, stuck in the middle, learns that there is more to guarding a temperamental prince than just following him around.

Summary
Sometimes, Merlin wonders if he’s somehow harder to love than Gwen was.
~~~~~~
Where, after the magic reveal, Merlin and Arthur are in a relationship, but Arthur is repressed as always. He treats Merlin very differently than he had treated Gwen, and Merlin begins to wonder whether or not he's worth being loved in the same way. Whether Arthur even loves him at all.
(A 5+1 of Arthur being a prat and giving mixed signals, and then Arthur being a prat but giving Merlin a signal he can't miss)

Summary
The spell rolls across the field, flattening the grass with all the howling power of a gale-force wind. As the wave of magic crashes against them, Merlin has no time to gasp out a spell. He only throws up his arms to cover his face, his own sorcery flaring around him in the same defensive instinct — twin reflexes, beyond conscious thought.
OR: On a morning patrol outside the castle, the knights encounter a sorcerer hell-bent on revenge. Merlin can save Arthur, but doesn't realize what it will cost him until it's too late.
