Summary: Merlin and Arthur travel to a nobleman’s castle for a hunting trip. Little do they know this former friend and his new, not so human wife, have joined Morgana.

All it takes is a special herb to and a perfect trap to make it look like Merlin is part of their plot

Now Merlin’s magic has gone haywire, and worse than that, he finds himself in a cell with a witch iron cuff preventing even that from being of use.

Not to mention a furious Arthur who now believes Merlin has betrayed him.

But what if the fact that Merlin’s magic is not under its usual control is exactly the thing that saves them when things look their worst?

Creator Notes: Hi, twisted_apple! When I first saw your prompt, I immediately wanted it because the idea of having Arthur and Merlin communicate strictly over letters just excited me. I wanted to do some cool coding with this, but ran out of brain power to do so (thanks, medical issues), so sorry about that! I hope I did your prompt justice and that you like what I wrote!

Special Shout-out to my amazing betas, Starlight_Shaped_Hope and Malus_sieversii, for all their helpful comments and suggestions and cheerleading! I honestly couldn’t have made this fic what it was without you both.

For better or worse, Merlin and Arthur start sending letters to each other

Summary: Arthur left school twenty-six years ago and never looked back.

He had a successful career as a rugby player, he married a model, he had it all. But now, he is too old to play professionally, he has no clue what he wants to do with his life, his marriage is over, and he’s living in a hotel. How is the golden boy of Camelot College supposed to go back and admit he’s a failure?

Maybe some new friends, a bit of dutch courage, and a push in the right direction, might help.

Summary: Merlin studies a lot, likes to cook, and thinks his neighbour
is an obnoxious(ly attractive) prat–and almost certainly straight,
besides.

Arthur works too much, barely owns casual clothes, and wishes his
gorgeous new neighbour swung his way–and didn’t hate his guts.

Enter meddling friends and sisters, a no-pics-allowed dating app, and
a fluffy menace of a cat. Nothing about this could possibly get
confusing.
