    Summary

    Morgana opened the door to reveal Leon’s smiling face, Gwen hanging on one of his arms. They noticed the wine with narrowed eyes as Morgana dramatically poured herself a glass three sizes too big without uttering a word to suggest why.

    “What –?” Leon’s face scrunched up in confusion.

    “Arthur,” Morgana declared, gulping down too much wine at once in order to prepare herself for the bone-chilling announcement, “is bringing his new boyfriend over tonight.”

    Summary

    Merlin was technically banished, but everybody knew he wasn’t really gone. Sometimes, the cooks would leave out spare food only to find their shelves fully restocked the next day. Gwaine would leave out plans to prank the other knights and they would be carried out within the hour. Arthur would turn a blind eye to the way familiar blue eyes twinkled at him from underneath the hood of a cloak, or ignore the whispers that said the stocks were haunted.
    OR
    Merlin is basically the poltergeist of Camelot and everyone just kind of accepts it until magic is legal.

    Summary

    "Where did you get that?" Arthur asked, but he already knew the answer.

    "Gwen."

    "...and the horse?"

    "Gwen."

    "What about the-"

    "Gwen." Merlin interrupted. Arthur nodded. At this point, he wasn't sure why he even bothered to ask. He was pretty certain his wife was going to knight Merlin any day now. He looked Merlin up and down for a few moments before accepting it all with a sigh.

    "As long as you get my armor to me tomorrow...I don't care." He finally said, turning away. Merlin cleared his throat.

    "Gwen gave me tomorrow off."

    "For the love of God."

    Or

    I hate that Gwen and Merlin's friendship kind of withered away in the later seasons so here's a oneshot about her and Merlin abusing her new royal powers because that's what happens when your best friend becomes queen.

    Summary

    "It's true then?" Elyan frowned as he peered out the door into the hallway Lancelot had just exited through. Gwen bit her lip before nodding. "Damn. What would Lancelot and Merlin even argue about?"

    "Please," Gwaine rolled his eyes before flicking his hair out of his face "This has got to be some new battle strategy. Maybe Morgana is trying to throw us off with this so we won't notice when she tries to invade again." He shrugged. The others seemed to consider this.

    "That somehow makes more sense." Percival muttered. Gwen wrinkled her nose before putting down the basket with a sigh.

    "I'm telling you," She said "George heard them both yelling. It sounded very intense."

    "Maybe they were having sex. Sometimes people yell during sex." Gwaine suggested. Everyone turned to him.

    "Is that more likely than having an argument?" Leon asked dryly. Gwaine pointed his glove at him.

    "Between Lancelot and Merlin? Yes. Absolutely, you ignorant fool."

    Or

    Lancelot and Merlin get into an argument. All of Camelot loses its goddamn mind trying to figure out what's going on.
