Summary
Merlin felt them – a weighted, clattering presence – mere moments before Gwaine's soft curse coloured the air. Three bones, increasing in size, hung from a branch, knocked softly against each other: gruesome tokens strung up as toys for the soft breeze. Nor were they the only ones. Every few paces, there were more, nestled in trunk hollows or strung in strange shapes. They picked out a path ever deeper, where the trees grew tall and thick and old, indifferent to the fleeting, human lives that crept beneath their bower.
When Merlin and the others stumble across a grim discovery, it falls to Merlin to set things right. Can he undo the dark magic wrought upon this place, or will the price of the attempt be more than he can possibly afford to pay?
(Based on the word "Lustrate" for Benji)

Summary
Uther believed in power, gold and riches. Arthur believed in his people, his kingdom, and the idea that good men could make life better for everyone, not just the individual who sat upon the throne.
Merlin shows Arthur that magic can save his kingdom in many ways, and Arthur comes to see how there are few in the world who love Camelot and its people as much as he does, except perhaps for the man at his side. Yet will either of them speak of the love that blooms between them, or will they hold their silence?

Summary
"Care to explain what this curse is then."
Merlin did not. In fact he could think of few worse experiences than the one that was about to befall him, but he supposed he'd have to. His eyes rolled skywards, silently praying for strength, then dropped to the floor in front of Arthur.
"The curse is meant to help produce children. It makes a couple feel-" he took a deep breath, "aroused, so they lay together with the hopes of having a child. The curse lifts when the couple-" he waved his hands around a bit, "-y'know or when it loses power."
Merlin left out that it was meant for magical couples, with the hopes of producing magical children, in order to repopulate after the Purge.
...
"We just need to wait out the curse, it will lose power eventually."
"How long will that take?" Arthur asked, his breathing sounding more laboured.
Merlin swallowed harshly. "A couple of um-" he really didn't want to think about this next fact "- days, maybe."
"Days!" Arthur squawked.
