Arthur/Merlin. Merlin spells himself to be the perfect servant, and he loses his whole personality in the process. (I'm hoping also for some memory loss, like forgetting everything about his magic and any magic-related event than happened). Kudos for some Arthur emotional-angst when he realizes Merlin did it for him and it's his fault.

The servant blinked again, too slow. “’m fine,” he mumbled, ducking his head and wondering how he could slip around Gwaine; how he could avoid this sudden, unwanted attention. He was in the courtyard, he realized, and Gwaine was standing with his horse - Gwaine, and Lancelot, and Elyan, and all the other new knights that had been sent out on the latest patrol ( ... )

lol Sir Robin. If they don't write a character with that name into the series at some point, I'm going to be very disappointed.

Really enjoying this story, anon! Especially all of the little hints of how Merlin's character has changed (like the obvious plot afoot with the visiting nobles that normal!Merlin would've jumped all over by now, but instead he's completely blanking on). The bit where he says he's not a naturally curious person hit hard - he really is losing himself.

And I'm excited by the inclusion of the new knights! Hopefully enough people are starting to notice something's off...

Can't wait to read more! :)

2nd'ed!
It's heartbreaking, when Merlin only refers to himself as 'the servant'!

So excited to see the new knights in this, anon! Loving it.

Yay, Gwaine!! and all the other knights!! We can never get enough of them! Merlin is totally slipping away and it's breaking my heart (and Arthur's). And I'm very intrigued about the plot! Please keep up the good work!

even weirder than Merlin being polite and servant-ly to Arthur is him being formal to Gwaine..

hmm what has Aerona done to Sir Robin? o :

Re: The Easiest Thing (5c/?) [warning for mindwipe, memory loss] anonymous January 6 2011, 22:53:29 UTC

Oh no! Did he have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken? Or did he just have his bottom burned off?

Re: The Easiest Thing (5c/?) [warning for mindwipe, memory loss] anonymous January 7 2011, 03:04:17 UTC

Yay! Great update!! I love how you refer to Merlin's new personality as "the servant." Suitably chilling.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments, m’dear anonymousies ♥ Here’s a long one for you all, because I’m actually moving tomorrow and that might slow updates down a bit... though hopefully not too much! As it is, this thing is going to be looooong

Arthur woke with a headache that would kill a lesser man, he was sure of it.

He was quite sure it had been the wine that had done it - although the whole affair with his manservant could have very well been the cause. God knew Merlin could drive anyone to insanity if he tried hard enough.

But just thinking about his manservant was enough to turn the pounding in his skull up a notch or four. The warmth of the room, usually a comfort in the later seasons, was suffocating. He’d gotten used to waking up to cold rooms, the castle stone leeching the meager heat from the air. Merlin was rarely awake before Arthur, and it wasn’t like Arthur would light his own fire. That would be ridiculous ( ... )

He’d barely made it out his door when he heard the bells.

All of Camelot had to have heard the bells. He cursed under his breath, thinking What now-? His first thought was to head to the throne room, in hopes that his father knew what was going on, but fortunately (or unfortunately, it could be said) the answer came to him in the form of an out-of-breath squire ( ... )

Gaius straightened, giving both King and Prince that grave look he often got when things are not as they seem. Arthur cursed twice, and his head felt close to bursting ( ... )

The physician nodded. “Correct. I’ve seen such a spell before, and it was a common tool of dark magic. A sorcerer would kill a person in order to steal their vital energies.”

Arthur frowned. “Then why the poison?”

“Separating energy from a living body is dark, very powerful magic. There are few sorcerers left alive who would have such power, if at all. It is much easier, however, if the person is already dying, and the soul is already detaching itself from the body.”

“And the vital energies…?”

“Will strengthen the sorcerer’s power, if only for a short time.”

“So it’s possible this… assassination was just the first step in a much larger evil,” Arthur theorized. Everyone - Merlin aside - nodded in grudging agreement.

Merlin’s unresponsiveness sparked a raw edge of frustration that had been burning in Arthur all morning. “What do you think, Merlin?” he snapped, a painful twinge in his jaw reminding him of that horrible headache ( ... )

Oh Merlin, oh my heart. Good luck moving, nonnie; can't wait for more of this.

Re: The Easiest Thing (6d/?) [warning for mindwipe, memory loss] anonymous January 8 2011, 14:04:59 UTC

At last Arthur's POV!! I was sooooo looking forward to see how he was coping! He seems to be in denial though *grumbles*. At least Gaius seems suspicious, but I still hope Arthur gets his head straight and realizes by himself!

And the plot is engaging, nonnie! loving it!!

Re: The Easiest Thing (6d/?) [warning for mindwipe, memory loss] xbriyeon January 8 2011, 17:07:04 UTC

Ohgod, poor Arthur.. this is just strange and wrong, Merlin acting Normal. =[

loving this, anon. ♥
