Summary
[Audio Length: 1:15:04]
On his fourth day awake, Leon began to give serious consideration to the idea that he was being punished for some horrible transgression. What it was, he didn’t know, but it must have been terrible. There was no other reasonable explanation for his suffering.
“And he’s just such a stubborn idiot,” Arthur groaned, flopping back to rest against the pillows beside Leon. “Really what on earth did I do to deserve the world’s most ridiculous manservant?”
Probably the same as whatever it was I did to get stuck listening to this Leon thought to himself.Podfic of See Reason by RangerJedi67.

Merlyn is the ward of Uther Pendragon. Arthur Pendragon and Merlyn are chaotic siblings and Sir Leon being a tired older brother.
If Leon, first knight of Kamalot and soul mate of two Pendragons, had been told in advance how chaotic his life would be, he probably would have laughed or fled.

Summary
The sharp crack rings out through the clearing.
Heads whip around to see Merlin lying on his side, painfully still. Any remaining bandits die in an instant, corpses kicked aside as the knights rush to converge around the fallen body. Lancelot is the first to arrive, sword dropped as soon as he gets close enough to hover his hands over Merlin's form.
"Tell me where it hurts," he whispers, eyes on Merlin's ghostly face, "let me help, please, Merlin, what happened?"

Summary
“How can I ask this of you?” Merlin whispered, “I was meant to bring peace to Albion, not destroy it. I’m no good if you get hurt.”
The king took his court sorcerer’s hands. They were trembling, frail things like little fledglings, and he gripped tight and didn’t let go, “Merlin. Camelot fights for what is right. Once magic was reinstated, I pledged to be an ally to you and your kind. I, and this kingdom, would be a disgrace to that promise if I did nothing now.”
Merlin gazed at him so desperately. Arthur didn’t know what to do with it. Merlin was always so strong, usually being the one to comfort Arthur. He was his best advisor, and his closest confidant, and he’d never seen him so anguished.
***
The golden age of Albion was here, or so Merlin thought. After learning of sorcerers in the hundreds being captured and enslaved by a neighbouring kingdom, Merlin felt more useless than ever. What use is Emrys if he can't protect his people? He had to act, but he couldn't bring Camelot into it; the risk was too high. Unfortunately, his friends didn't see eye to eye with him on that, and insisted on fighting with him. Would they come out victorious?
Would they survive at all?

Summary
After years of increasingly dangerous magical attacks, Arthur finally decides that he should know his enemy, and cracks open a bestiary to study monsters. To his shock, the book talks about people who were *born* with magic, and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense, because one of the entries reads as though it was written with Merlin specifically in mind!
Alternatively: Arthur picks up the medieval equivalent of a D&D manual, and puts two and two together, but still somehow arrives at three
