    Summary

    “Arthur? Gwaine? What are you doing here?” Merlin sounded perplexed, as if he couldn’t quite fathom how they had managed to walk out of the castle on their own.

    For several seconds, Arthur was distracted by the bloody entrails Merlin and Lancelot had been waving around like bait. The innards--which now hung limply in their grasps--might have been enough to turn a weaker man’s stomach, but they only gave Arthur a moment’s pause because then it hit him how mortifying this whole situation was. Was he really going to ask Merlin if he preferred Arthur over Gwaine?

    Apparently Gwaine didn’t have any such qualms. “We were just wondering which of us is your favourite.”

    Merlin stared blankly, a sight that was especially absurd given the blood coating his arms all the way to his rolled-up sleeves. “I'm sorry?”

    Summary

    'At Emrys’ feet Merlin will fall, and from Merlin’s demise he shall rise.'

    That's what the prophecy had said, after all.

    More specifically: Arthur is sent on a quest with the powerful warlock Emrys and strikes up an unwilling friendship. It feels like betrayal, when Emrys was the one who killed Merlin all those years ago.

    Summary

    Merlin's magic flared up inside him, and the metal sizzled hot. “What are they doing, branding us?” 

    Morgana wasn’t wearing a collar, but her handcuffs glowed orange a few seconds after Merlin’s cooled, and her jaw clenched against the torment. Still, she kept her eyes on him. Vigilant.

    “They’re magic siphoning cuffs,” she said when it was over. Her lip quivered as though she was suffering a kind of aftershock, but then her composure returned. She lifted a brow, shooting him a sinister look. “I see they’ve done a number on you, Emrys."

    Merlin’s stomach dropped. Morgana knew.

    Summary

    A different direction for episode 4.7 "The Secret Sharer". Alator goes to Camelot not to find Emrys for Morgana, but with another plan in mind... Why has Emrys failed so long in his prophetic task of restoring magic to Camelot, in guiding and instructing Arthur Pendragon, the Once and Future King? Fate seems to have handed Alator the chance to right the course of history gone awry - and he's going to take it. He's going to use Gaius to find Emrys - and then they're going to have a serious conversation. But even the best-laid plans of a canny warrior-sorcerer can be diverted... Alator finds more than he anticipated, plotting ambush in iron mines of Kemeray...
