    Summary

    It was supposed to be a nice break from the monotony of the castle. Instead, Arthur woke up trapped in a tiny cell with a worryingly unconscious manservant. Cue Arthur stressing and Merlin waking just in time to fight their way free. But will Merlin look at Arthur the same way after what he did to get them free? What's the difference between self defense and murder?

    Based on the prompt:
    “Well, this is a nice change of scenery.”
    “It’s a prison cell.”
    “I was being sarcastic.”

What if Merlin changed Camelot's moral compass? What if Merlin formed a parallel government right under Uther’s nose? This is the story of a BAMF Merlin who dreamed to change the social fabric of Camelot’s society and achieved something.
