Summary
“No volunteers?” the man asked again, as if that would prompt someone to step up. “Well, I shall have to choose one of you myself, then.” Arthur felt the man’s eyes drag across the small mass of men. “How about…” His stomach began to sink when his gaze landed in his direction. “You?” His finger stopped right next to Arthur, and his stomach plummeted. Like the rest of the prisoners, he looked for the man who was unfortunate enough to be picked - although he already knew who it was.
Merlin blinked at Jarl, as if he couldn’t believe he was chosen out of all the strong, warrior-type men he was surrounded by. “Me?”
Jarl put his hands on his hips. “Death or glory, boy? You should be honoured.”
“But, I—” He started before Arthur cut him off.
“I volunteer!”

Alternatively, where that one scene in 3x12 plays out a little gayer and instead of Arthur dragging Merlin to save him, he goes the kind of Hunger-Games-I-volunteer-as-tribute route and ends up fighting Merlin instead of Gwaine in the slave trader's arena.
