"Arthur hit Merlin." - Morgana's latest plot against Camelot will test Arthur and Merlin's friendship to the limit. Enchanted!Arthur, brotherliness, vaguely whumpish. - COMPLETE -

After an encounter with a dangerous creature, Merlin is doomed to a deadly illness, and he turns to the only person he can trust: Arthur. Together they set off on a journey to restore Merlin's health, but with the warlock growing constantly weaker, the task may prove more difficult than imagined. Bromance, whump.

When Arthur gets sick, and Merlin's left to look after him, Merlin inevitably gets sick. Arthur takes special care of his servant. The writing equivalent to doodling. Sick!Arthur Sick!Merlin Caring!Arthur

The title is part of an old saying referring to the potentially disastrous consequences of letting seemingly small responsibilities go. Humans are, and have always been the frailest of creatures, Merlin, despite his magic, is no exception.
