    Summary

    “Did you hate my father?”
    “What?”
    “Did you hate him?” Arthur said. “Come on, Merlin. You’re a sorcerer, aren’t you?”

    Following the revelation that Merlin is a sorcerer, he and Arthur have come to a temporary agreement that Merlin may use magic in secret—but only with Arthur’s express permission. While Merlin is eager for the chance to prove himself, Arthur is wary. The opportunity to consult his father’s spirit forces Arthur’s resolve—and the fragile peace of their friendship—into question.

    Summary

    Arthur Morgan has always been a wanderer. It's easy for him to get lost in the world around him. But in hindsight, he should've known following a strange light into the forest would be his undoing.

    Summary

    Two years after escaping Dutch's wrath, Arthur didn't find his white picket fence. In fact, he might be in an even slummier place than he was with Dutch, fighting for his life and dependent on substances he had scoffed at when he was younger. Things take a turn when The Underground is raided, and Arthur is faced with yet another choice.

    Summary

    Arthur has wanted love for as long as he can remember. His childhood was full of shame; shame for asking and shame for wanting. Merlin comes along and challenges everything he's been taught.
    -----
    He never stopped wanting. But he did stop begging, stop asking. It was wrong; distasteful. Good boys did not ask for love, they earned glimpses of it in nods of the head and the rare ‘good job,' only when earned.

    Arthur Pendragon was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 the day he turned 20.

    Summary

    Will had told Madoc not to mess with that crumbling magic book. Madoc had turned his DEFCON-one-grade pleading eyes on Will, though, and Will, predictably, had caved immediately.

    Now, of course, they were apparently stuck in Ancient Wales. Fantastic. Will kind of liked that he could throw his phone out with impunity, but Madoc's grumbling wasn't very pleasant, especially considering it was Madoc's fault they were here in the first place, like.

    Will could also definitely do without the Arthur-lookalike ranting about how magic was evil and corrupted the soul and all. This Arthur was definitely more annoying than the one Will knew, that much was certain.

    Summary

    Leon had known there was magic in the castle for years.

    He may be the First Knight, but he certainly wasn’t going to turn in the person making his job of protecting the ruler of Camelot easier.

    Leon had turned a blind eye for years. He had misdirected others who got too close to the truth, and covered any and all traces he found, all for the continued protection of the then prince, now king, Arthur.

    One day, magic was used to save the king once again, but this time it was used in plain sight, in front of the whole court.

    The fact that magic saved his king didn’t surprise Leon in the slightest, but the fact that it came from Merlin very much did.

    What were the odds that both Arthur and Merlin had magic?

    Summary

    Freya always knew Kilgharrah had manipulated Merlin to do his will. With talks of destiny, and the future the warlock and the young king would share. But when the future of the golden age of Albion is put in danger, Freya takes things into her own hands. Knowing Merlin is too trusting of the dragon, Freya enchants Excalibur so that when Arthur frees the sword from the stone, he is shown what the future holds.

    Will Arthur be able to bring Camelot into a time of light, and avoid the future he was shown? Or will he fall, bringing his kingdom down with him, as the burden of his destiny becomes too heavy?

    Summary

    Arthur cups the earthenware bowl in his hands and slurps the whole thing down with a speed that borders on desperation, all the while staring at the spoon disappearing inside Merlin’s mouth time and time again as he eats his own. It’s stupid, to be jealous of a spoon. Just like it’s stupid to freeze to death after only a few hours of riding in the wind-whipped rain. Just like it’s stupid to be in love with your servant boy you can’t marry even if you wanted to.
