Summary
“Do you trust me, Dean?”
“You know I do,” Dean answered, his voice carrying resignation and sadness. He knew Cas was right. This was the only way if he wanted to help save his brother. He had to do it, even though everything in him wanted to fight it. But he trusted Cas with his life. And now he was going to show him just how deep that trust ran.
Dean fell to his knees in front of the angel, bowing his head forward as he was fitted with the extraordinarily heavy collar. Castiel’s fingers caressed his skin when he closed the clasp of the sign of slavery; the symbol that gave Dean’s life over to the angel’s mercy. Dean suppressed the urge to close his eyes.

Summary
When Merlin had first arrived in Camelot, it had been a shock in many ways. The first thing that struck him, even as he first ventured through the lower town on that very first week, was how no one seemed to touch. In Camelot, people existed separate from each other, kept apart by a complex web of social conventions and class divisions. In Ealdor, by contrast, human contact was an important resource, not to be taken for granted.
The second thing that struck Merlin on that first week in Camelot had been the Crown Prince. With a mace. This had taught Merlin his second lesson about what living in Camelot would be like. Namely, that it would be painful.

MILD SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE FIC
A.K.A the story where Merlin discovers a spell to help him manage his pain, and it all goes predictably, horribly wrong. A story of class, abuse, and realizations. Exploring the nature of class in Camelot through whump and pining, with a few extra tropes thrown in for good luck.
