2. He saved Arthur’s life in that tavern brawl
3. He needs urgent medical attention
4. He is devastatingly handsome
5. He is a druid, judging by the tattoo on his ankleIt’s that last part that really sticks out in Merlin’s mind, though item four is a close contender…

Summary
After foolishly seeking shelter in a magical cave, the original Round Table find themselves under a curse tailored to teach each of them a personal lesson. The question is what Merlin is supposed to learn from being turned into a girl, and whether it might not be more of a blessing than a curse, seeing as Gwaine seems rather taken with her new appearance…

Summary
The earliest memory Gwaine had, the one he held close to his chest, hung on a chain and glimmering gold, was that of his mother’s hands. He remembered them blushed and calloused with work, dirt under the nails from every odd job she kept to keep them afloat, but most of all he remembered how they felt pressed against his arm, his hand, his cheek.
__In which we follow Gwaine through Season 3 and then some, and watch as he navigates how to love once more, and how to ask for love in return. (Follows canon until about chapter 5ish, but lots of stuff in between too.)
