    Summary

    I'm sure given your position you already know about the advent of the General Data Protection Regulation next year, wrote Peter Lukas, to Elias Bouchard. However, the Lukas family wishes to be crystal clear that our continued investment is contingent upon the Institute taking its responsibilities with regards to privacy and confidentiality seriously.

    The Magnus Institute hires a Data Protection Officer. He sets about diligently booking in meetings, writing policy documents, and training all the staff in the importance of confidentiality. Now if only he could get hold of the Head Archivist, who seems to have vanished again...

    (Jon is only trying to save the world, but apparently some people think he should still be doing his day job.)

    Summary

    In Ealdor, you court someone by braiding their hair. Gwaine does not know this. Merlin knows Gwaine does not know this. Which means that braiding Gwaine's hair can be just because Merlin wants to, not because he is really courting the man.

    He is really courting the man.

    Summary

    If Gawain and the Green Knight took place in the Merlin universe, it might have been a tiny bit different—because there's no way Merlin would let Gwaine traipse off on his own to get his head chopped off. Includes attempted alliterative verse, bawdy songs, evil deer, made-up spells, clichés, and a truly insane amount of fluffiness.

    Summary

    Merlin is tasked by a druid with a mysterious quest to retrieve a ring that give people unimaginable power, only the great Emrys is able to wield it without using its powers for destruction. He requests time off from Arthur with a quick lie, and is told to take a knight with him. The only problem? Lancelot is out on patrol. So Merlin goes with the knight least likely to freak out about his magic, Gwaine. Somehow, that choice makes Arthur think the two of them are courting, and they decide to keep that cover story in place. For reasons.
