    Summary

    “I’m an activist, Mr. Morgan,” Merlin explains.

    “I see that,” Knight Gwaine says.

    “I want this place to exist here forever. Forever and ever and ever.”

    “You mean until King Arthur climbs out of it?”

    “Yes,” Merlin says. “But after that, too, since I’m not like, 100% positive that he’s going to know what a fish ladder is. I figure we’ve got to do some work on that and probably his English before we let him go off into the wild.”

    “Right. Obviously, the English. But what happens if someone tries to put another body in the lake while you’re here?”

    Merlin doesn’t have an answer to that.

    (Three women's bodies are dumped into a lake, and detective Gwaine Morgan is assigned the case. He does not anticipate said lake to be guarded by a local 12 year-old and is even less prepared for what happens when the 12 year-old becomes his murderer's next target.)

    Summary

    Camelot is a far-off dream, a place which was made for men. They travel through the forest, hunting.

    Merlin lays with the deer and they with him, and he cannot bear their suffering the way he once cared about the suffering of men, so he splinters arrows before they pierce flesh and leaves the rotting bodies of unlucky creatures on the hot stones that circle the men’s fires.

    If they cannot be taught their place in the forest, then they will leave it at least unsettled.

    Men fear decay and death.

    Merlin fears neither anymore.

    (Arthur banishes Merlin from Camelot, so Merlin goes to the forest and slowly loses himself to its magic. By the time Arthur learns what he's lost, it's too late to bring Merlin back by his own will.)

    Summary

    “And next to petition…” droned the herald, looking down at his papers. “Welcome Lady Enid Kantor to speak to the court.”
    Merlin yawned.
    “The lady is here to offer her services…” – a confused look came upon his face – “to the King.”
    A murmur rose in among the nobles as a small older woman slowly made her way up the aisle to the throne.
    Arthur raised an eyebrow. “You wish to offer me a service?”
    “Yes, your majesty, I do.”
    Whispers and frowns were interchanged among the nobles, but the Lady Kantor only smiled. “One could say I am an inspector of sorts.”

    Or: An inspector comes to Camelot to examine the court. Merlin thinks Arthur finally lost his mind.
