I probably smell like food or something. That's what happens when you get a job at a fast-food place. Ah, well, I got a discount, and apparently my boss has seen all of the seasons of Merlin :) We are in for some nerd talks because there are apparently not a lot of geeks here.
Disclaimer: To claim or not to claim, that is the question.

Let's Go On An Adventure
"That's right, Father," Arthur said softly as he helped guide the ailing king into his chair. "Just sit here, okay."
"Thank you," Uther said, staring at the wall. "You were always good to me."
Arthur chuckled uncomfortably. "Are you sure that you are up to this?"
Uther laughed, grinning in pure bliss. "Of course. I can do anything as long as you are here."
Arthur faltered because he knew that his father would never say this to his son. "Father?"
"I'm glad that you are here, Ygraine."
Arthur's heart hurt, but he gritted his teeth and smiled.
So remember in "A Father Forgets" when Uther called Merlin "Balinor?" No, you might not remember. Anyway, I made a comment in the A/N about what he called Arthur. Some of you got it, some of you not. No matter, I had to write it.
Yes, I know I'm evil. Now I'm going to binge on muffins and watch TV and refuse to go outside...
Seedsiz, you better have understood this reference or so help me...
