Author:

amarie_authiel
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Gwaine/Merlin, sort of one-sided Morgana/Merlin.
Summary: It's quite ridiculous really how many mind controlling creatures Morgana manages to find. What did they do when they were not being captured in glass containers and used by evil sorceresses? One might hope to be immune soon. But not today, it seems.
Warnings: Angst, mind control, some physical abuse.
Word Count: Approx. 4000
Authors’s Notes: Dear Amorette, I hope this is at least reminiscent of what you were hoping for. I am terribly nervous.
A million thanks to

eaardvark for jumping in on extremely short notice and beta-ing this into shape, and many thanks to my dear man whom I have neglecting a bit (much) while I was battling this fic.

Author's Notes: The prompt was: Things have been especially hectic in Camelot, lately (Set between S4 and S5?), and Merlin is running himself ragged, trying to protect Arthur (Who just has to make things as difficult as possible. He means well, but he's a royal handful.). Gwaine steps in and does what he can to make sure someone is taking care of Merlin, too.

kleinefee92I tried to stick to it as much as possible. I had a lot of fun writing this. Thank you so much for the prompt! I hope you like it.

He came back, but Arthur has no idea where he went, or what he did while he was gone. A few months down the road, Merlin is acting strange, and Arthur feels strange - in that he doesn't really feel at all.

Author's Notes: Hey,

digthewriter! I hope this fic helps make your holiday a little bit brighter. Lots of love and thanks go to my wonderful friend and beta,

jelazakazone. This fic would not be what it is without you. Thanks also to the mods of our community, who were incredibly patient with me and my perpetual lateness, and who made this gift exchange possible. The title for this comes from Vertical Horizon's Everything You Want. I hope to, when I have the chance, post a companion piece to this fic on Ao3. It will fill in the blanks resulting from the gaps in Arthur's knowledge during this fic, and allow Merlin to have a chance to explain his side of things.
