Summary
Uther thinks Arthur and his manservant are courting
Basically he’s done dealing with Arthur’s attitude and thinks it’s because Merlin hasn’t been around or they have fought (he’s not wrong at all) so he seeks out Merlin and drags him to his son and demands for them to make amends and they are so confused

Summary
Gwen is overjoyed to have Arthur back, of course. There's no doubt about that.
It's just that she was used to being a widow - and a queen. Maybe too used.
But Arthur and Gwen are both determined to make it through the transition and figure out what their new reality will look like. They vowed it, after all.

Summary
Sandwiching Arthur’s hand between hers, Gwen glances down, and utters, “It feels like I can’t breathe.”
His head perks up and he distances himself slightly, as if to make his way to the door. “Oh, well, if it’s too tight, I’ll call back the seamstress and-”
Shaking her head, she finds herself blinking away the mist in her eyes, as she half-smiles and croaks out, “That- that’s not what I meant.”
--- Gwen is a true queen, but it isn't always easy to be introspective.---

Summary
When his nephew Mordred had described the librarian who reads him stories at the library, Arthur had pictured the mysterious Emrys looking like an old fantasy wizard, not...not like an eccentric and attractive man who refuses to share his name and enchants both children and Arthur alike.
Maybe Arthur needs to take his nephew to the library more often. For his education, of course.

Summary
“Oh, oh! Look at this one!” Arthur snorted, staring at his phone as he sat next to Merlin on the couch in the living room of their flat that evening. Merlin tore his eyes away from the movie they were supposed to be watching and raised an eyebrow at his boyfriend.
“What is it now?” He almost didn’t want to ask. When Arthur used that voice, it was almost always some bogus gossip story trying to either make them look bad, create a crazy affair for them, or somehow do both at the same time. He grimaced slightly, wondering which one of them and what it would be this time.
Arthur scooted closer and wrapped an arm around him, holding his phone between them so they could both read the screen. “Looks like you’ve got a secret girlfriend I didn’t know about! Who is this Freya Waterson, Merlin? I’m simply heartbroken!” He feigned distress, almost immediately killing the ruse by grinning stupidly.
-OR-
Arthur & Merlin, well-known actors who play leading characters Brenin & Gwyn in popular show Once & Future, have been together for eight years, everyone knows it! Well... They thought everyone knew it.
