Summary
“Three more weeks, you should be fine,” Gwen told him, looking all regal and stunning with her Queen’s crown and Arthur’s
stolenborrowed sceptre. Merlin did up the final lace at her back and stared at her miserably in the mirror.“Do let me know if you want to take over nappy-changing duties, then.”
-In which Arthur is cursed to live as a two-year-old brat and somehow retains both his über-prattishness as well as his penchant for running around after Merlin.

Summary
With a beta for a manservant there is no reason Arthur would have to worry about his pheromones giving away his true emotions.
Except, Merlin isn’t a beta.
Or
Merlin slowly loses his mind as he scrambles for flimsy excuses to explain why Arthur’s scent is growing hopelessly besotted.

Summary

Summary
Camelot is a lot bigger than the letter suggested it to be.
The buildings here tower at three stories tall, sometimes even four, and that’s only in the lower town. The battlements alone leave trailing shadows over the roads, the stone and brick laid down who-knows how long ago.Merlin clutches Gaius’ letter close, looking down every now and then to recheck the directions. The roads are winding and narrow with more than a few dead-ends.
His offer hangs just under the directions:"Mentor under me and I can teach you the control you seek – a physician’s apprentice is a noble trade not many young men have the opportunity to undertake. Do you understand?"
Merlin didn’t understand at first, not until Hunith pressed a set of Will’s old clothes into confused hands. As tough as it is for a sheltered boy to saunter into a new city to take a position under an esteemed healer – not even considering the illegalities of the implied additional tutelage – it would be an impossibility for even the most headstrong of women.
