Summary
King Arthur knew better than most that childbirth was every bit as dangerous as the battlefield. And now the love of his life faced that danger. When things go wrong, Arthur begs Gaius for any form of help, but when Merlin steps in, his actions have to be accounted for.
Rated Mature for a fairly graphic birth scene. No smut or swearing.

Summary
Arthur’s been sent to negotiate a trade treaty with Ergyng, a kingdom where magic is perfectly legal. He’s been on diplomatic missions before, but never one that made him feel like he’d made a wrong turn and left reality behind. With Uther desperate enough to even consider such a treaty, much less send his son into a kingdom where sorcery is openly practiced, their Queen could ask for anything vaguely reasonable and Arthur would have to grant it. So why is she only interested in Merlin?
