Story Notes:
This takes place during mid-season 3 and will contain some mild, general spoilers for the first 3 seasons. Definitely whump-y, but not whump for whump's sake, if you know what I mean. Lots of bromance, no slash. I hope you enjoy; please let me know your thoughts! :)

This was a fun chapter to write. Lots of angst and drama (and whump and bromance!) and a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it!

This chapter focuses on Arthur and Gaius but is very important for the plot of the story! Merlin has the next two chapters all to himself, so I figured that I could give chapter 4 to Gaius and Arthur to share. ;)

And the whump continues! :) Sorry it's been so long! I have the story written, but for some reason I stopped posting, and well, here we are now. I plan on updating this regularly now. Please review!

I'm seriously not sure why I stopped posting... again. But even if I don't get another review, I'm still going to post this story, as well as all my other Merlin fics, eventually, because there's just something special about having all your fics for a certain fandom in one place. :) But if you still want to review, be my guest! XD

I'll try to post at least three chapters at a time so I can get this posted faster. Like I said, at this rate, it's not really about racking up the reviews, but getting this story out there after such a long wait! :)
