As I promised, three parts for Arthur and Gaius because there was no way that everything could have fit into 100 words.

Summary: Arthur pays Gaius a visit for the first time since Merlin's death because he needs advice.
Let's Go On An Adventure
"Gaius, I need help," Arthur admitted, folding his hands in front of him.
The physician, having aged one hundred years since Merlin's death, gave him a look, one that Arthur had not seen since he was a child.
"Whatever can I do for you, my boy?"
Arthur did not miss how guarded Gaius had become. "Gaius, I..." He stopped, a choking sound coming from his throat.
Gaius's hand barely touched Arthur's shoulder. "It's all right, Arthur."
"No, it's not. It's not all right." Arthur bowed his head in self-loathing. "I have magic, Gaius."
-The last time Arthur was in Gaius's chambers was to relay the news of Merlin's death. He's been avoiding him ever since because he felt guilty for not saving Merlin and confused at his new gift/curse.
-On the other end of the spectrum, Gaius has been too caught up in grieving to notice how strangely Arthur has been acting lately.
-The whole reason why Arthur is only NOW talking to Gaius is because Morgana told him how Merlin helped her, and Gaius is the next best thing.
