Set against the backdrop of season 3, Merlin and Arthur's relationship develops as it is put through various trials and tribulations. They grow closer than ever and push the bounds of propriety as their bond grows stronger, but Merlin's secret threatens to tear them apart and when it is revealed, everything they thought they knew about one another must be re-evaluated. In the end, the only question that needs to be answered is whether they love one another enough to overcome it. My entry for this year’s Merlin Reverse Big Bang 💖 @bbcmerlin-reversebang @sa-ua
