Summary
"The moment you touch someone, you'll see the biggest secret they keep from you."
The plan was ridiculously simple: Lancelot would use a spell to figure out Gwen’s feelings, and Merlin would finally be spared from watching their endless Camelot drama.
That is, until Arthur Pendragon barged into the room at the worst possible second.
Now the spell is running through Arthur’s veins, exposing everyone’s secrets with a single touch. As the knights' dirtiest secrets come to light, Arthur’s eyes lock onto the one person who’s been hiding things from him for years—his idiot servant. Convinced this is his golden opportunity to unlock Merlin's hidden feelings, Arthur goes on the hunt, leaving Merlin with only one option: never let Arthur Pendragon touch him.
Or: Arthur thinks the spell is his chance to read Merlin's heart; Merlin is just trying to hide his magic. Let’s see how long he can run.

Summary
~He scrubs sleep from his eyes as he finally opens the door. “What do you want, Mordred?”
The annoyance in his tone startles the young knight. He hesitates for a moment before asking, “Why do you hate me? What did I do to upset you?”
It takes a moment for Merlin to process the questions. Is this really what he was woken for? Then he takes note of Mordred’s appearance. He looks like he’s been crying. Puffy, red eyes a stark contrast to the dark circles beneath them. Has he been losing sleep over this? As he leads Mordred to sit on the bench, he takes note of how much thinner and paler the boy is than he had been a month ago. Is he eating properly? Has he been training in this state?~The prophecy may be wrong about Mordred. Merlin regrets that it took the boy's declining health for him to realize as much.

Summary
“Are we waiting for your Arthur to have an audience? I'm sure my men will have captured him by now,” the man continued, crossing his arms with amusement.
It was Merlin's sceptical sneer that broke Arthur's train of thought. He moved closer behind the rock wall to look at his face, and what he saw made him swallow hard. Merlin's gaze was lowered, but a bitter smile played on his lips as if the other man's words were the stupidest thing he had ever heard in his life.
“For the last time...” Merlin finally said, raising his head and staring at him arrogantly. “He's not coming. He doesn't care about me.”
Arthur's heart sank.
The man just smiled and took another step towards Merlin. The belt holding his boots fell to the ground.
“We'll see.”or
