    Summary

    “Never wander alone, my darling, or Jenny Grinteeth will get you,” Hunith used to say. “Or if you forget, make sure you say the rhyme - that wards her off.”

     

    Jenny Grinteeth leave me be, my mother loves me, leave me be.

     

    Jenny Grinteeth is a game they play. But as Merlin is sucked into life at Camelot, he wanders alone more than ever. He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him. The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.

    Summary

    After foolishly seeking shelter in a magical cave, the original Round Table find themselves under a curse tailored to teach each of them a personal lesson. The question is what Merlin is supposed to learn from being turned into a girl, and whether it might not be more of a blessing than a curse, seeing as Gwaine seems rather taken with her new appearance…

    Summary

    Typically, when Arthur publicly made a fool of himself, Merlin would seek out the one other person who found as much comfort in such an incident as he did, and they would spend the rest of the afternoon huddled together in fits of laughter.

    However, when he had turned away to find Gwaine’s gaze in the crowd, he hadn’t expected to see fading traces of the divine in the knight’s eyes, that familiar stamp of gold Merlin felt burning like fire whenever he toyed with a spell. Gwaine, completely oblivious as those eyes stayed trained on Arthur’s damp figure on the grass. Unaware, as he usually was, of how he had made Merlin’s breath constrict and die in his lungs.

    Merlin’s heart was still racing even now, and had been beating out a rhythm of Gwaine’s name and panicked semblances of prayers ever since he had witnessed that.
