Author's note: Even thought the chapters of this story haven't been that tightly knotted together, I wanted to tie everything together with a proper ending or else I'd never be able to finish this story, and I've got another project (or really more like four, or five projects in total) that's screaming for attention. It's saddening to see the story go though, it's been an awesome journey. Thanks to all of you who have so patiently followed me from start to end, read, reviewed, or added to faves and alerts! You awesome people have made my day! I've never had this many review on one single story before and every time I see that somebody's taken

"So where off to next?" Arthur asks merrily and digs into another steak: it's his favourite and it's a feast, so he's got every excuse.
"Be careful with those," Merlin intones from his right, "we don't want to put another hole in your belt." And he ducks just in time to avoid being hit by a goblet.
"To Minas Tirith in Gondor," answers the White Wizard. Ah, yes, the city Pippin saw in the Palantir, that round black stone-thing, which is most probably magic. Everything is most probably

Author's note:This chapter is a crossover with the Lord of the Rings but please don't take it seriously, and note I'm using both book and movie-verse. Also there's an Inheritance Cycle reference somewhere in here, cookies to whoever finds it first!
This chapter was so long the file got so big I had to split it in two. See link below for second part.

38: Burst Into Song Without First Telling Arthur
Arthur is walking across the courtyard, deep in a discussion the latest war tactic with sir Bedivere, when the knight abruptly halts and the prince nearly slams into the man's shoulder.
"What is it?" the prince demands in a princely tone but the knight seems as if captivated and absorbed by something else completely thus not hearing the prince's words. Irritated and confused, Arthur lifts his head. Ahead, on the northern part of the courtyard, a mass of people have gathered; guards who've seemingly abandoned their posts, sal

37: Get Captured by Slave Traders (It's So Bothersome)
Merlin wakes up with an enormous headache, as if someone's been using his head as anvil. But that makes no sense. He's not been near any forge for weeks and would certainly not let any smith use his head as anvil.
Then why does it hurt so badly? He's certain he didn't accompany Gwaine to the tavern last night or accidentally got too close to one of Gaius' less safe potions
The smell of dirty socks fills his nostrils, making him feel a bit ill. His eyes open slowly, meeting a dark stone ceiling, and immed

36: Get Captured by Lunatic People During Important Quests
When Merlin wakes up the shadows are yet dark in the corners, and a hand is shaking his shoulder, a voice persistently tugging at his ear. To no avail he tries to wave them both off.
"Wake up, lad."
" Ugh. Gaius?" The servant glances up from the pillow, wincing when the candlelight is too bright and sudden for his sleep-drunken gaze. The physician looks kind of worried, that anxious frown across his temple which makes Merlin uneasy. What's happened now? Has Arthur been enchanted? Or the king? Has some hell-be

Sneaking back through the city and into the citadel takes nearly an hour. They still haven't come up with a good excuse to the prince's sudden apparent disappearance, or even Merlin's, but they know keeping Arthur's condition a secret will be a tough challenge. They've no idea what to do if Arthur is summoned to see his father or when he's got to fulfill other princely duties. They only have one choice: ask Gaius for advice. Maybe the physician can feign that Arthur is ill, and Merlin too, and make people not suspect a thing. Maybe.

Author's note: Hello everybody! I'm still alive! After several long weeks of hiatus, I've returned.
You know, when I started writing this story, I never thought it'd get over 90k words (or get this popular!), since I first planned it to contain short chapters and not that many to be honest. I realize now that I must somehow put a stop to this craziness and write the last sentence of this story, I hate leaving things hanging. So I've got a few more chapters sketched out (can't tell you exact numbers yet) but I'm also planning on some kind of epilogue. I just need to get a nudge, and not keep postponing. I'd like to write something more

"You know, you've been unusually cheeky today," Morgana commented as they seated by the overly long table in the hall, the polished dark piece of furniture covered with a large variety of foods and wines.
Arthur grunted something in reply; the day had been long, and Morgana, just after Uther had left, wasn't something he was eager to face. Well, ever. She was too nosy for her own good.
The king's ward was very resolute. "Whatever your secrets may be, I will find out. Eventually." Then she looked at him with a raised eyebrow, a sudden thought occurring her. She put down her fork. "Arthur, have you fallen for someone?"
"Of course not!" The p

31: Wear Evil Belts to Which Arthur Doesn't Have the Key
It's something that's been bothering Gaius for a time now.
It started two months ago, give or take a week or so, when during one of his errand runs he saw his ward in the company of a stable boy in a corner, near the water pump. The stable boy had taken off his shirt to wash himself off; Merlin had just given him a pail of water. They stood close together, shoulders bumping together and his ward was smiling.
It would not be so bad if not for said stable boy's hands nearing some of Merlin's more personal body
