Summary
Merlin can't stand Arthur. Fit. Posh. Rich. They've known each other for over a decade, but Merlin wouldn't say they were friends.
Arthur's favorite person in the whole world is Merlin. Cute. Intelligent. Kind. He follows him around like a puppy. Too bad Merlin will never seen him as anything more than just a friend.
They're both wrong.
Excerpt: “You can’t have him because he’s mine, bitch.”

Summary
The other nobles didn't have to tolerate pointed comments about their intelligence or the size of their waistline (which had not changed an inch, no matter what Merlin said.) They did not have to suffer messy chambers and the frustration of a manservant who would not do what he was told unless it suited him.
And perhaps Arthur was petty, but it did give him some small satisfaction to see Merlin scowling at him from the edge of the duelling ring.
'He'll turn you into a frog,' Gwaine said cheerfully, swearing as Arthur dodged the blow of his sword and smacked Gwaine's exposed side with the flat of his own weapon. 'Chuck you in a well and leave you there.'
Arthur discovers there's a difference between knowing Merlin has magic, and truly seeing it for himself.

Summary
The sob that escaped him was a tiny thread of sound, little more than an embellishment upon the air. He did not wail. It was too big for that, too much, all the more painful for being unexpected. Not Arthur's betrothal, but his own reaction to it. It was as if all the nebulous uncertainty of the day had crystallised into a blade.
Worse, he had no one to blame but himself. He had never told Arthur how he felt. It had always seemed like a step too far, and now it was too late.
Tomorrow, he would pick up the pieces of himself and find the strength to bear the scars of it. He would be the friend Arthur needed, and he would pretend that was enough.
Tonight, he mourned.
------
When Arthur announces his courtship to Lady Aveline of Spirehold, Merlin resigns himself to never speaking of his love. Yet the universe has other ideas. Stuck in the same, repeating day, can Merlin find his courage and break free, or will he lose his last chance to speak of what lingers in his heart?

Summary
None of them were lunging to their feet with accusations on their lips. They knew what was happening, and five of the most loyal knights in all of Camelot were trying to keep it secret.
---
Guinevere only meant to offer Merlin some respite, to ease the worst of his exhaustion and watch over him while he slept. Instead, she ends up making a stunning discovery.

Summary
'Who on earth taught you that?' Arthur narrowed his eyes, noticing the way Merlin suddenly looked more than a little bit shifty. 'I wouldn't think there were many tutors of the classics out in Ealdor.'
'Um...'
It was tragic, really, that every single person in the room knew what that tone of voice meant. It was the one Merlin had used when he'd mentioned being a Dragon Lord, or admitted to offering to trade his life for Arthur's on more than one occasion. It implied that Merlin suspected they wouldn't like the answer.
