Summary
Without thinking, Arthur blurts out, “Maybe you can teach me a spell?”
Merlin stiffens again, looking as though he’s braced for ridicule, and Arthur knows immediately that he can’t rescind the words. “Why would you want that?”
“Come on, Merlin. I can’t exactly have my servant being better at something than I am, now can I?”
Or,
Three months after lifting the ban on magic, Arthur catches Morgana and Merlin practicing a spell together. After initially struggling to come to terms with, he asks to be taught a spell as a gesture of acceptance. He is shocked to learn that magic is hard, and Merlin is actually quite good at it. Who would have guessed?

Summary
Five places Merlin does not expect to see the Prince of bloody England and one place that he definitely does.
Traveling back home after a nightmarish visit to America, Prince Arthur isn’t upset to be flying economy sans bodyguard. All he wants to do is take a nice, quiet nap in a too small, too cramped economy seat. Then, he bowls over a stranger, soon-to-be seat partner, and they strike up an unlikely (sort of) friendship.
This idiot has absolutely no idea who he is. He also has the bluest eyes Arthur has ever seen.
And, well, it just escalates from there.
