For @merlinbingo Arthur Does Something Unexpectdly Nice S3 + @polymerlinmicrofic Freedom
Please enjoy this (unedited) completely self indulgent Merlin Birthday Fic for my bday haha!
Merlin was the happiest they'd ever been in their life.
Magic was free and thriving in Camelot.
It was living, breathing and flowing through the land as it was meant to. He could feel it everyday when he woke up the ever present thrum of magic all around her, and honestly she didn't know how he'd ever lived without it.
But that wasn't the only thing that had changed, no because Merlin got to be loved by the people who he'd held in his heart protectively for so long.
If someone would have told him five years ago, that Arthur, Gwen, and Lancelot all returned that love for them, he probably would've laughed in their face and called them a fool.
Yet here he lay in Arthur's bed snuggled up with Gwen, and Lancelot on the morning of his 23rd birthday.
He felt Gwen begin to stir as Merlin thought about all that had gone right for them, and soon felt a warm pair of lips on hers as Gwen passionately kissed her.
"Happy Birthday Cariad!" cheered Gwen, leaning back and smiling at him.
"Happy Birthday Merls," Lancelot whispered kissing their neck softly Merlin blushed so surrounded by love he didn't know what to do with himself!
"Are you ready for your day of surprises?" asked Gwen with a mischievous look on her face as she climbed onto Merlin's lap.
"I can't wait, mainly because I really really want to know what on earth you all have been doing for this last week," they moaned and their lovers laughed as the door to their chambers swung open.
"Well well well look who's up, the birthday Warlock!" teased the familiar voice of their king, and Merlin looked over to see Arthur carrying a tray of food, and not just any food all of her favourites.
"All this for me?" Merlin smiled happily and Arthur placed the tray down on the bed but not before placing a kiss on Merlin's forehead.
"Oh my love this is only the beginning," he said with a smile.
"Now you enjoy your breakfast in bed, and then we'll get you off to your next surprise," stated Arthur and Merlin smiled.
Merlin ate her portion of breakfast, as his lovers ate, and enjoyed each other's company and soon began to get ready themselves.
Soon he felt his beloved Gwen pulling her up from the bed with a grin.
"Birthday surprise number two this one is mine," said Gwen pulling him over to the closet.
Opening the wardrobe there was a new beautiful blue and gold gown laid out in front of it with a small new red neckerchief on the front.
"OH Gwen! You made this for me?" he said with excitement placing her hands over the beautiful fabric looking at it with glee.
"I did! Oh I'm so glad you love it now come here and let me get you into it, and then it's off to Lance's surprise!" she said with a smile.
After a few moments of getting dressed in his new gown with the help of Gwen she stepped out and twirled around in the outfit.
"What a beautiful person you are my love," said Lancelot sweeping them up into his arms, Merlin let out a chuckle.
"Oh hush you flatterer," Merlin sighed, and Lancelot placed her down, but not before Arthur and Gwen joined in on the snuggle.
"Oh but you are Merlin, and true vision of beauty," Gwen whispers tenderly in her ear and Merlin's blush deepened.
"Too often you do not see yourself the way we see you, but today is your day, the day we celebrate the wonder that is our beloved Merlin," said Arthur pulling his hand up to lay a kiss upon it.
"All you have to do is come with us look your gorgeous self, and let us spoil you," Lancelot stated with a grin, and Merlin blushed once more.
"How did I get so lucky?" they asked and Gwen replied, "I do believe it should be us asking that question, now come along Lancelot needs to bestow his gift."
So out Merlin was led through the palace to the stables where his beloved mare Llamari awaited her.
Quickly Merlin and her lovers mounted their respective steeds, and began their horse ride Merlin following Lancelot as he led the way.
Soon enough he realized where they were headed as they approached the familiar trail to the now permanent Druid Camp.
"Why are we here?" they asked hoping to get an answer but Lancelot just grinned and said, "You'll see."
They sighed rolling their eyes but continued waving to druids as she entered the camp, leaving their horses tied on the outskirts.
"We have the book you requested Sir Lancelot," said the elder warmly.
"Wonderful, if I may have that now, and I shall show it to Merlin, thank you again for your help with acquiring this," Lancelot said, taking a large tomb from the druid elder.
"A history of Dragonlord's and their kin, Oh Lancelot! How did you find this? I thought they were all gone, I can't believe you got me this, thank you!"
"I'm so happy you love it, it took some time but with the help of Elder Brynhild, I managed to get it for you," Lancelot said with a wide smile on his handsome face.
Merlin threw their arms around Lancelot and kissed him.
"This has been the greatest birthday I've ever had, thank you all for your love, and gifts, and just being you," Merlin said to her lovers.
"Oh it's not over yet, after we have lunch with the Druids, we need to get back to the castle for the last part of your day," stated Arthur and Merlin smiled, it didn't get much better then this.
After eating a lovely lunch and enjoying a brief musical serenade by the Druids, they had returned to the castle together,
"We just need to make a quick stop by the treasury before we head to our last stop!" Arthur said linking Merlin's arm and leading him up the treasury steps.
"What else could you all possibly have planned? And why haven't I seen everyone yet?" She asked impatiently.
"You'll just have to wait and see cariad," Gwen said with a smile, as Arthur went in by himself to the treasury, and Merlin sighed wanting to know but reluctantly resigning themself to waiting somewhat patiently.
"Alright almost ready, but first," Arthur said with a grin as he returned carrying a small satchel and a blindfold.
"Really we're really doing this? You do know I could just use magic to see through it," he snickered but Arthur just laughed in response.
"Yes but we know you won't ruin the surprise we worked so hard on now will you?" teased Lancelot as Arthur placed the blindfold around her eyes.
"No, alright I wouldn't, just make sure I don't fall or trip you know I'm clumsy when I can see," Merlin threatened but not a moment later they felt someone sweep them off their feet into a princess carry.
"OH goodness you lot are really taking the cake with your shenanigans today," Merlin laughed.
"Oh you love it," Said Lancelot who turns out was the person holding her.
After a little bit more walking, Merlin was placed down and the blindfold was taken off to reveal, all his friends, family, and the people he cared for standing in a beautifully decorated courtroom with presents and food everywhere.
"Happy Birthday Merlin!" the court yelled with fervor, and Merlin lit up with joy tears pooling in his eyes.
"Good surprise?" Gwen asked with a side hug.
"The best!" she replied tearfully.
So Merlin walked around thanking, and seeing people, opening gifts and enjoying the food, a little while later his mother came over to see her.
"Happy birthday my darling child, I am so proud of the person you have become," their mother said warmly wrapping him in her arms.
"Oh Mama, I'm so happy, I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life," he said his eyes tearing up and his mother smiled kissing her gently on the head.
"And I couldn't be happier for you," she said with a smile, "well that may be a slight lie for I think I shall be even happier in a moment now turn around."
Merlin looked at her confused, but followed their mother's words and turned around to see his partners standing in front of him holding a beautiful, ornate, golden, circlet, with sapphires encrusted within the golden leaves.
But that wasn't all, because Gwen also held a beautiful matching ring.
"Oh gods, were doing this tonight? But I haven't the other rings, that we- oh my Avalon," she cried tears welling in his eyes.
He knew that eventually this would come, they'd discussed it and separately from each that the ring belonged too had chosen a ring to celebrate their love for their eventual marriage but here and now he felt overwhelmed with love and pure elation.
"Merlin, our dearest, most wonderful Merlin, we love you with all that we are," Lancelot said with a warm smile.
"You mean the world to us and we do not wish to spend another moment apart we love you and each other, and we wish to solidify that with this vow," Arthur stated with all the pride of a king.
"Merlin, one of my oldest friends and most beloved dear, will you do us the honour of joining us in divine union and marrying us?" Gwen asked tears welling in her soft warm brown eyes.
"Yes, gods above, yes nothing would make me happier!" they yelped with joy rushing forward to their beloveds.
The court erupted in cheers of joy, and congratulations, as Arthur and Lance placed the circlet on his head, and Gwen slid the ring onto her finger.
Taking a moment to allow his loves to wrap her in their arms, Merlin smiled ever so contently, because he was home, and they were free.
There were in their circle three healers (or, at least, three who had a knowledge of healing greater than most) and these were Freya, whose waters had great medicinal properties, Merlin, who had studied both magical and non-magical means of healing in their tutelage under Gaius, and Guinevere, who had spent enough time around Merlin and Gaius to know what to do. This was especially useful as there were often many injuries among them: most commonly Arthur and Lancelot, though Merlin was a close third.
As of now, Lancelot and Arthur were being tended by then after yet another attack by bandits. Whilst Freya poured her waters over them and Merlin spoke words of healing, Gwen observed them for any changes as shey sat next to Arthur and squeezed her hand.
For @morgwenmicrofic Cage + @polymerlinmicrofic Freedom
"Are you sure, you're willing to leave with me Gwen?" Morgana asked, as she finished gathering her things into her sack that evening.
Morgana knew she couldn't stay there in Camelot, it was too dangerous the recent attack by the witch-finder had proven that once and for all.
No matter how much Morgana may love her, she felt guilty, and hesitant to tear her beloved Guinevere away from the only home she'd ever known.
"Morgana, when that witch-finder came and threatened you, I was terrified that I was going to lose another person to Uther's campaign against magic. We all know know how deep his hatred of sorcery runs, and your magic your gift it is only growing, you need to live somewhere where you can grow and flourish, and if you think I would let you go off alone, then you Morgana Le Fay are a fool." stated Guinevere firmly as she pulled her in and placed a passionate kiss on her lips.
How Morgana ever got so lucky, as to be loved by Gwen, she does not know, but she will thank the gods till the day she dies that she did.
"Besides I already have all I need, so long as I'm with you," Gwen said as they separated and she smiled.
"We'll leave a little after midnight, I know how to get around without being seen," Gwen said as she grabbed her own bag.
Morgana nodded, although she was terrified to be leaving all that which she knew, she was far more terrified at the prospect of staying in Camelot.
So that night as the citadel of Camelot slept, they snuck out of the castle and wandered through the streets, dressed in peasant clothes, and covered by cloaks they knew they would be ignored if anyone saw them.
They were in the middle of the lower town, when a soft sniffling cry caught Morgana's attention.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around looking for the source of the sound when she saw it.
An iron cage, with a young woman inside it, wearing a raggedy red dress and iron cuffs around her wrists the young maiden was crying hunched in on herself.
"Morgana, why did you stop?" her beloved asked her, and Morgana pointed to the cage.
"There's a girl, in that cage, I think that she must have magic, why else would she be kept in such a cage?" Morgana whispered softly.
"Oh dear gods, is there anyone near? Should we-" Gwen asked, but Morgana cut her off.
"Yes, yes we have to help her, come lets go, we must act quickly."
Looking around to make sure nobody was watching Morgana and Gwen swiftly made their way over to the cage.
"Miss, shh, it's alright, we're going to get you out of here," Morgana said softly to the girl.
"What? No! You'll get hurt, the man, the man who caught me, he- he's dangerous please I'm not worth the risk, you must go!" the girl whispered fiercely, but Gwen had already grabbed a nearby shovel, and with her knowledge of metals cracked the lock at the right point and the chain fell.
Opening the door, Morgana walked in and gently took the girl's trembling hands.
"I promise, you're going to be just fine, you'll come with us, we'll get you out of Camelot," Morgana said gently.
"Why? Why are you doing this?" the young maiden asked.
Morgana smiled, and with a whisper her magic unlocked the girl's cuffs.
"Because I know what is it to be truly afraid, and nobody deserves to be treated like a monster," Morgana whispered, as she pulled the woman out of the hay filled cage.
"Gwen do you have the spare cloak?"
Gwen nodded, as she took out and placed a warm grey cloak over the young woman's shoulders.
"What is your name my dear?" Gwen asked warmly.
"Freya, my name is Freya," the beautiful maiden replied.
"Well Freya, I'm Morgana, and this is my partner Gwen, you'll be save with us, we promise," Morgana swore.
"Now let's go you're free now," said Gwen kindly, as she took Freya's right arm in hers, and Morgana took her left.
They supported the girl who fate had thrown in their path, and together they finished their escape of the citadel.
As the three young maidens reached the woods, finally leaving behind the gilded cage that was Camelot, it all of a sudden hit Morgana.
