    Summary

    They’re tying Merlin to the stake when Arthur rides into the courtyard, reins gripped tight in his hands and his horse’s flanks white with lather.

    “Hold!” he shouts, his voice rising over the hubbub of the crowd. “Hold there!”

    The executioner hesitates. He already has the torch in his hand, but it wavers slightly as he turns between his king and the late queen’s brother, who is standing braced against the balustrade as he watches the preparations below. The expression on Agravaine’s face is ugly, though it morphs into an avuncular smile when he meets his nephew’s eyes.

    “Sire,” he says, bowing, as friendly and ingratiating as ever, and Arthur’s skin crawls as he recognises the suppressed triumph on his face. “I see you are just in time.”

    Summary

    “Have I ever been a good manservant?” Merlin asked, because he couldn’t very well say ask me for something else and see what I wouldn’t give to you. It should have been more insulting that this of all things was what finally made Arthur relax.

    Merlin confuses a typical favor with one of the gift-giving, courtly variety when Camelot hosts a winter tournament. Arthur tries his hand at courtship.

    Summary

    After Merlin is stung by the Sekret in S3E2 he tells Arthur the truth for once when he asks where he’s been. Well, what if Arthur actually believed him.

    Basically how I wish this scene would have gone down.

    Summary

    Steve comes jogging up the path in a pair of offensively small bright blue jogging shorts. He’s shirtless and windswept and glistening – actually glistening – in the warm sunset glow.

    “Sweet abs of liberty,” Tony says, hooking his sunglasses down his nose to get a better look.

    “Of thee I sing,” Clint intones, reverently.
