“To let someone else braid you is an intimacy. Brothers often do it for one another, or parents in our youth, or lovers when we are of age. I have none of these.” Thorin pulled a silver bead from the pouch and rolled it between his fingers, and his gaze on Bilbo held weight.

Summary: Arthur had to spare a thought to be impressed at how many slanderous and untrue things Merlin had managed to insert into such a brief statement: that Arthur liked to drink, and that when he did drink too much he had a tendency to inflict bodily harm upon his manservant, either in the form of beatings and/or possibly sodomy, and that chambermaids were more or less involved in these indiscretions.
Comment: I thought this story was hilarious from the very start. Merlin and Arthur were both extremely funny and sassing each other constantly, and Merlin’s ‘creative’ distraction to help Arthur was brilliant, as was his conversation with Gaius. Great story.

Deep in the woods in the frozen heart of winter, a careless comment leads to a redefinition of Arthur's relationship with his manservant.

Arthur's mouth twisted up. "You can't be friends with Morgana, idiot. Servants aren't friends with the nobility. It's just not done." "Of course. My mistake." "No one would understand. It would be misconstrued, there would be rumors," Arthur continued, frowning and distinctly unhappy. Merlin covered Arthur's hand with his and slowly uncurled Arthur's fingers from his tunic, wondering if they were still talking about Morgana. "I understand." "They would send you away." He sounded almost anxious. "I can be discreet," Merlin murmured, and Arthur's eyes flashed, and they were definitely not talking about Morgana now. "See that you are," Arthur said, his voice rough, and his gaze raked over Merlin's face once before he turned away abruptly, and Merlin staggered a little and wondered if the whole conversation had been in his imagination.
Yeah, they really aren't talking about Morgana. [x]
