Summary
Starting with Valiant, Arthur begins to realize that maybe—just maybe—Camelot’s problems aren’t caused by magic alone, no matter what his father’s been screaming his whole life.
Instead, it’s a mess of emotional tangles, terrible communication, and the dawning horror that Uther might be completely wrong about… well, everything.

Summary
Merlin sometimes thinks he's been cursed. Not only was he born with extremely powerful magic, he also presented as an omega. A male omega in a world run by alphas that would see him as a prize or trophy, something to tie up and forget about. And now, he's in Camelot, the most dangerous place for someone like him to be. Merlin must keep both of his secrets close to his chest and stay away from Uther and other foes. But why does he feel a pull towards Uther's arrogant alpha son? And why is fate so cruel by pushing them together every chance it gets?
Arthur was comfortable and... not happy, but alright with his position in life. Sure, he didn't always agree with his father's treatment of people suspected of sorcery, but who was he to question the King? Until a scrappy, raven haired peasant calls him out for being an arse and then becomes his servant. But as much as Arthur tries to hate Merlin, he constantly finds himself being drawn to the enigma of a man.
Will they learn to get along? And will Merlin be able to help Arthur become the King he's destined to be?

Summary
What if it was Arthur that knew about the destiny to the full extent, not Merlin?
Merlin is not just a wizard, anymore than Arthur is just a boy. The most powerful sorcerer to ever walk the earth, who could rival Dumbledore at such a young age is destined to protect and help Arthur unite the lands of Albion and bring peace to muggles and magic folk, joining them like they once were. Without Merlin, Arthur will never succeed or become king. Without Merlin, Harry would never live long enough to defeat the dark wizard that is Lord Voldemort.
If he finds out, exactly what his destiny is, that could be disastrous for everyone involved.
When Arthur first comes in control with Merlin, their magic collides in a negative way as they both intended ill-will on the other person. It was then that Arthur understood what was truly at stake.

Summary
‘we might make out when nobody’s there // it’s not that we’re scared, it’s just that it’s delicate’
The University of Camelot, most highly ranked collegiate institution in England. Dwelling of the legendary football team, the Camelot Lions; renowned for a world-class library of ancient manuscripts; situated on the grounds of an ancient medieval castle. But, most importantly, for the next three years, home to Arthur Pendragon and Merlin d’Ealdor.
Though the school grounds are picturesque, legends hint to a less than beautiful secret hidden beneath the university. Ancient energies lie beneath the foundations, whispering and waiting for a cursed soul to unleash them.
Merlin and Arthur are bonded in more than just one way - not only their shared destiny, but also a secret love...
