Notes: I only vaguely know about anything that happens beyond...Season 2?  'Cause that was all they had on Hulu.  And then they had Season 4, but by then I was completely and utterly behind, so.  It's a fix-it.  And I know more of the characters than I do of the plot.
Hinted Merlin/Arthur?  (for you to decide, really)
~Dreamer~

            She’d known, even without her dreams, that it was only a matter of time, really, before Arthur pulled her aside.  “This has got to stop,” she states flatly, and the tone of his voice makes her laugh.
            “Jealous?” Morgana asks, enjoying the look on Arthur’s face.
            “If this is some sort of misguided ‘I’m monopolizing your servant’s time in retaliation for mine’ pettiness, it’s hardly in good taste, Morgana.”  The conversation really is quite amusing.  “Merlin is…fragile, and you playing with his heart…I’m not going to have a broken servant because you’re bored.”
            She smirks.  “Merlin can take care of himself.  He’s been doing that while you weren’t looking for quite some time, you know.”
            He folds his arms, and it’s only the impulse to not look like a complete child in front of her that stops him from stamping his foot.  “Just…leave Merlin alone, Morgana,” he growls, and stomps off.
            He really is jealous, more than would be warranted for just a servant or a friend, and certainly more than is deserved, considering there’s no way she could pry him away from the prince, but now that she’s feeling much more in control, much more herself, it’s back to her favorite pastime of tormenting Arthur.  He deserves that much, after her saving his life several times since she’d learnt.
