Summary
Three years into King Arthur’s reign, magic users across Camelot are growing restless. Though no more executions have taken place since Arthur made peace with the Druids, sorcery is still punishable by death. Frustrated and increasingly impatient, a group of rogue sorcerers decides to take matters into their own hand, kidnapping Merlin right from under Arthur's nose.
Thus begins a long journey, one where Arthur unearths some hidden truths about everything he thought he knew and Merlin's loyalty is put to the test.

Summary
It's fine if he knows, though Merlin thought they narrowly avoided the topic yesterday. Barely. He also knows Arthur. He's too stubborn to let it go, but he is sincere. Only brought it up in gratitude. And assurance.
Merlin tries to estimate Arthur, though there's nothing to be found. They both know he also created the opportunity, the question. But Merlin can't confess and they both know that, also. And this time he finds he doesn't have to lie.
He fixes his eyes on Arthur. Finds his hand to hold. "I didn't do anything," he says.
Arthur stands very still. "You didn't?"
Arthur can't know. Him repeating the question means this is his last chance to devalue his convictions. And this time he can honestly answer him, "No." He didn't have to. But he will next time. And he’ll make his excuses then if Arthur isn’t satisfied still from this moment. He’ll find the strength for it in his heart and the love he harbors there to fix the world in place.

Kinda not hopeful ending. Like it's not bad it's just everything's good and then leaves off with what if arthur needs to get married? And merlin ready to be self sacrificial. But it was a nice read, lots of pining.
