    Summary

    Look, alright, Arthur does try to give Merlin the benefit of the doubt, but when he walks into his room to see him immediately stand up straight, hide something behind his back, and that something is jingling, what exactly is he supposed to do?

    Well, if Merlin is to be believed, state his business and leave Merlin to his.

    But when a pouch of coin leads to a confrontation that reaches far beyond their normal spats, Arthur starts to uncover something very troubling about Merlin's time in Camelot.

    Summary

    "It started during your coronation," he said carefully.

    Arthur stopped pacing. "During the ceremony itself?"

    "Yes."

    "So it was someone who was there. Someone in the crowd." Arthur's eyes lit up with the fervor of a man who'd found a crucial clue. "I can get the guest list. Cross-reference it with people you've had contact with. There couldn't have been that many — "

    "Arthur, you're not going to figure it out that way."

    "Why not?"

    Summary

    "Merlin."

    "Yes, sire?"

    "Have you ever wondered about your soulmate?"

    Merlin's hands stilled on the breastplate. "I... what do you mean?"

    Arthur was sitting on the edge of his bed, unlacing his boots, but his movements had grown slow and thoughtful. "I mean, do you ever think about what they might be like? Whether you'll recognize them when you meet them?"

    "Sometimes," Merlin admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. Every waking moment.

    Summary

    The sword clattered to the ground as Arthur ran both hands through his hair. Merlin had seen him angry before, frustrated, even furious, but this was different. This was raw.

    "Arthur..." Merlin stood slowly, his usual snark dying in his throat.

    "No, you want to mock me? Go ahead. Tell me how easy I have it while I lie awake every night wondering if I'm strong enough, if I'm worthy enough, if I'll ever be half the king my father expects me to be."

    "That's not — I didn't mean — I —" Merlin stammered.
