I am irritating the crap out of my sister right now... I'm playing the LOTR soundtrack full blast... it's almost ten minutes of the extended soundtrack... She hates LOTR so much... The Shire theme is killing her... It's not helping that I'm singing along with it... I'm such a nice sister.
London, you are in my thoughts and prayers, again (man, the UK is having it rough right now).

Prompt: From Seedsiz: Merlin should get to throw Arthur in the ocean when he least expect it. Just to help him get over his fear of course.
Rating: K+
Genre: Angst
Characters: Arthur, Merlin
Time Frame: Post "Fears" (chapter 105); the Golden Age
Summary: Merlin decides that it's time to give Arthur swimming lessons. Arthur is less than amused.
Let's Go On An Adventure
Arthur shrieked as he plunged into the ocean's depths. His arms flailed helplessly.
"Just keep swimming, Sire!" a far-off voice commanded.
"I'm going to have your head for this, Merlin!" Arthur bellowed, swallowing sea water. He spat it out.
"You're the genius who thought that flooding would work on my cynophobia!" Merlin urged, safe on the shore.
"And it did!"
Merlin nodded. "Exactly, which is why you are going to swim back to me."
Arthur stopped flailing. "Why should I?"
"How else will you get me into the stocks?"
That was plenty of motivation for Arthur.
My guess is that Merlin kicked Arthur off of a pier or something partly out of revenge for the events of "Cynophobia" and partly to actually help Arthur get over his fear of water detailed in "Fears."
