    Summary

    “You have got to be kidding me.”

    Merlin may just have been having the worst day of his life.

    OR: Merlin and Arthur end up in a sorcerer’s cave. The only way out is by using magic. Neither of them like the idea very much. Arthur ends up surprising Merlin (and possibly himself as well). It escalates from there.
