And maybe Merlin has some muscle from protecting Arthur too

I have spoken

This is very good I wish you added a little more detail. Like Merlin would have scars on his chest and back from protecting Arthur. I wish there was more chapters as well like I said it very good.

I love this.

Aww you make me wanna hug Merlin!

Nice story! love the bromance

this was sweet, and you kept them in character perfectly :)

Yeah, Merlin was jacked up in that episode.

The friendship between these two was so beautiful and poignant, as well as the trust/faith Gaius has in Arthur. Loved it!

That was great. I love how much Arthur cares about Merlin, it's perfect!
I'm squeeing internally.

Merlin seems to always land in these situations, the poor guy. I really like this story though, and it's nice to see the "doctor" side of Gaius :) Thanks for sharing this story, and God bless!

Like I said before, I haven't watched the fifth season yet. The last thing I remember seeing in the series is Mordred becoming a knight, which I thought was a bad idea. I don't remember Gwen becoming so I'm assuming it was something Morgana did. And I hope they were able to reverse it before someone got really hurt. (This is why I haven't watched the fifth season yet because I heard of awful things like this happening.)

Anyway, good short. Thanks for posting!

Loved this! Thanks for writing. :)

Loved it!

This was amazingly written. I never really like that episode... well I did, but it tore my heart out to see Merlin so vulnerable. And I love how you expressed Merlin and Arthur's relationship. Beautifully done.

Oh, bromance galore! I loved this.
