Summary
In which Gwaine finally realizes that Merlin has never had a day off and hatches a brilliant plan: Step One, get Merlin liquor'd up so he won't protest The Plan; Step Two, fake a kidnapping and a ransom note that will force Arthur and the rest of Camelot's nobles to treat their servants better, and Step Three, return Merlin to Arthur once he's done, with no one the wiser and everyone happier.
Unfortunately, Gwaine's plans have never once worked out the way he thought they would, and things just sort of fall apart from there.

Summary
After Camleot is overrun by Morgause's army and Morgana is revealed to be a spy, Merlin is forced to free The Great Dragon. He gives him the answer he seeks yet takes something much larger, when the citadel is weak he kills Uther Pendragon.
Arthur, overcome with loss, begins searching for the only man who can help him defeat The Great Dragon, the last Dragonlord. What they find, however, is much more than either Merlin or Arthur expected. In the shadow of that cruel night, Merlin must face the truth of his heritage and hide it from his best friend, the new king of Camelot.

Summary
Gwaine drags Merlin out with Arthur and all of the knights to a strip club (with a promise of shots, of course). Arthur can't seem to understand why he feels weird about seeing a girl give Merlin a lapdance when Merlin couldn't look any less interested in it if he tried. So, in typical Arthur fashion, he lays down a challenge. Merlin, of course, takes him up on it. But, will Arthur be able to deal with the feelings that arise after? Or, will he stay emotionally constipated? Read on to find out.

Summary
As everyone should know, the combination of Gwaine, boredom, and alcohol, does not bode well. Especially for a certain manservant who hasn’t had a drink in over two years.
Or...

Summary
“You lied to me!”
“I was afraid, and I had every right to be! Look at yourself, look at what you’ve done to me…can you look me in the eyes and tell me I was wrong to fear?”
A little moonshine and not one, but two of Merlin's biggest secrets come to light. Arthur doesn't know what to think. What to feel. Everyone is allowed their secrets--even Merlin, as much as it pains him. But treason? Magic?
Lines blur between right and wrong, duty and friendship, fury and understanding, love, hate, protection, control. Merlin's abilities might be keeping him from the pyre, but a part of him still dies, shackled in a thin band of iron on his left ring finger.

Summary
This is meant to immediately follow up that one tavern scene in season 5 episode 12, where Merlin wins all of Arthur's money from the dice game (through using magic, but Arthur doesn't know that here). The knights all see that Merlin and Arthur clearly love each other, but know that they won't ever say anything to each other. So, Gwaine in all his drunk wisdom makes a bet with Leon. The other knights take sides and chaos ensues.

Summary
After over a thousand years of waiting, thinking he found Arthur again only to learn he'd been completely fooled several times, Merlin spends most of his time drunk at sea. The legend is fake, the story of Arthur has been distorted by time and the current King is a massive asshole. Merlin's life as the cheap pirate Dragoon, however, is disrupted when Sir Leon thinks he found him. The King's son, Arthur, named after the legendary King, might be the one.

Summary
Merlin has gotten on Arthur's last nerve. Why is that boy always at the tavern when Arthur needs him? So, this time, Arthur decides to go to the tavern to reprimand his useless servant. Only, Merlin isn't at the tavern. And for some reason, the bartender has never heard of him and Gwaine thinks Arthur is crazy for suggesting that Merlin drinks all the time. Arthur is so confused and pissed that no one can tell him where his servant is. Arthur runs to Gaius' chambers to yell at him for lying and sees Merlin on the brink of death. This changes his whole perspective and chaos ensues from there, leading to some realizations.

Summary
There's a reason Merlin always tried to never, ever let himself get drunk. Who knows what he'd say or do! But now that magic is officially legalized, and everyone knows who and what he is, what harm could there be, really... Arthur respectfully disagrees with this assessment, Gwaine is delighted, and Merlin is going to regret this later for sure.
