Recs and Reviews

Streaming audio at the AO3 (2011)
Arthur and Merlin are stuck in an old sorcerer's trap and can not get out. Merlin finally breaks down and tells Arthur about his magic and everything he has been forced to do to protect Camelot. Post S2[2]

I love this fic with a passion; Arthur and Merlin are put in a position where not even Merlin's magic can help them out and they find themselves stuck with each other, maybe even until whatever end they'll come to. There is magic reveal with every other reveal that inevitably comes with it. And they work it out, through all the fear and doubt it turns out their friendship is stronger than that. Moving and warm and wonderful. This fic is also an example of why srin is my favorite writer of Arthur.[3]

Merlin/Arthur pre-slash/gen. Arthur and Merlin fall down a hole, and stay there. Bored, Arthur starts asking questions Merlin doesn't want to answer.[4]
