Summary
Typically, when Arthur publicly made a fool of himself, Merlin would seek out the one other person who found as much comfort in such an incident as he did, and they would spend the rest of the afternoon huddled together in fits of laughter.
However, when he had turned away to find Gwaine’s gaze in the crowd, he hadn’t expected to see fading traces of the divine in the knight’s eyes, that familiar stamp of gold Merlin felt burning like fire whenever he toyed with a spell. Gwaine, completely oblivious as those eyes stayed trained on Arthur’s damp figure on the grass. Unaware, as he usually was, of how he had made Merlin’s breath constrict and die in his lungs.
Merlin’s heart was still racing even now, and had been beating out a rhythm of Gwaine’s name and panicked semblances of prayers ever since he had witnessed that.

Summary
“... Won’t you be warmer closer to the fire?” Merlin mumbled without opening his eyes, as Gwaine wriggled close enough to be able to smell the saffron-roasted fish-scent which stuck to Merlin’s hair. He looked really tired up close—Merlin always looked really tired, and somewhat sickly at that—and Gwaine had to resist the urge to indulge in behaviours which were far from charismatic and aloof.
“No,” he lied, good-humoured, and threw an arm about him.
[Or: Merlin and Gwaine embark on a deeply necessary Herb-Foraging Quest which has nothing to do with finding a way to release various kinds of tension. Dragons and destiny inevitably become involved.]

Summary
When Percival finds Merlin mourning on the shore of Avalon and tells him that Gwaine has been killed, Merlin refuses to accept it as fact. Racing back to Brineved, he finds Gwaine unconscious and hanging onto life by a thread, but this time his magic is actually enough to bring him back from the brink of death. Back in Camelot, Gwaine slowly recuperates while Merlin is forced to confront Gwen as well as his grief for the friend he lost and his feelings for the one he did manage to save.
