Summary
“Never wander alone, my darling, or Jenny Grinteeth will get you,” Hunith used to say. “Or if you forget, make sure you say the rhyme - that wards her off.”
Jenny Grinteeth leave me be, my mother loves me, leave me be.
Jenny Grinteeth is a game they play. But as Merlin is sucked into life at Camelot, he wanders alone more than ever. He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him. The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.

Summary
Merlin visits Lake Avalon every year on the anniversary of Arthur's death. Every year, he makes the same wish - that he would once again be reunited with Arthur.
Merlin lies down in the grassy outcrop that replaced the dried up lake and dreams of Arthur. He still thinks he's dreaming when Lake Avalon fills back up with thrashing, frigid water and threatens to take him away from the land of the living.
When Merlin is drowning, he dreams of Arthur's face. He dreams that he feels Arthur's strong arms holding him once again, pulling him from the grasp of the lake and onto the safety of the shoreline.
Merlin still thinks he's dreaming when Arthur speaks to him and reassures him that he's here to stay. It's almost too real for Merlin to handle.
But, what if it wasn't a dream, after all?

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.

Summary
Merlin groaned, opening his cold blue eyes to glare at Arthur. He struggled, twisting wildly, but Arthur was too strong. That’s not Merlin, Arthur thought as the stranger’s chilling stare seemed to penetrate his soul. It can’t be.
“Who are you?!” Arthur demanded, a raw edge of desperation in his voice.
The stranger who looked like Merlin grinned ferally. “Don’t you recognise me?” He crooned in a sickly-sweet voice. “I’m your servant, Merlin.”Merlin's first murder attempt nearly succeeds, and Arthur realises how much his servant means to him.

Summary
Merlin never wanted to come to Camelot. But with his home reduced to ashes and nowhere else to turn, he has no choice but to seek refuge with his uncle, a court physician under King Uther’s rule. All he wants is a quiet life—one of healing, learning, and keeping his strange gifts hidden.
But the moment he steps within Camelot’s walls, he feels it. A presence watching. A hunger waiting.
Prince Arthur Pendragon is nothing like the noble protector of legends. He is ruthless, possessive, and drawn to Merlin in ways neither of them fully understand. Every time Merlin tries to escape, Arthur is there to catch him—tender, terrifying, and utterly unwilling to let him go.
