Summary: The plan was simple: Arthur Pendragon was to scout out the seaside town of Ealdor without anyone knowing he was there on behest of his father’s hotel company. It was supposed to be "get in, swoop in on prime real estate before the competition gets to it, then get out." Funny how the plan didn’t include Merlin Emrys, a self-proclaimed “psychic” who swore Arthur’s life was in danger the longer he stayed in town.

Not to mention what to do when it turned out Merlin was right.
Author's Notes: I admit it, when I signed up for paperlegends at the very last minute, I might have been under the influence of cold medicine. Once I had a minor freakout that consisted of me mainly going "wtf wtf wtf why did I sign up for a 30k+ fest when the longest fic I've written is under 5k wtf," I realized I would need a lot of help to get this fic done. Thankfully, I had it from the following people:

- the_muppet, who is an awesome mod for running such a huge and wonderful fest, and was very understanding with my concerns and frustrations.
- rodiy, who was my fantastic cheerleader and never had doubts I would make it this far.
- yenny2206, who made sure to keep me on track with my writing, even if it was under a threat of a whipping, lol.
- itzcoatl, my fabulous artist, whose art is spread throughout the fic but can also be found here. Every time I received a new piece from her, I made squeaks of joy that were probably not human.
- the paperpushers chat, who put up with my whining and general dorkery, and especially hms_seth, who graciously stepped in with last minute edits.
- moonlightwish, my fantastic beta for whom I'm eternally grateful for. She strived to help me with this, even after it grew quite beyond the 40k I originally told her. Only she could make me laugh as she tore my story apart to build it back up again. Ilu bb.

Summary: It was a relatively innocent question. Well, for anyone else, it would have been an innocent question.

But this was Merlin after all. Arthur should've known better, should've known that his response at the time would come back to him in some form or another.
Author's Notes: I was jinxed by loaded_march in the paperlegends chat, and while I was released from my fic duties, the plot bunny still stuck, damnit.
