Summary
Ronan probably shouldn't have sworn at the stranger he runs into leaving Gansey’s favorite hipster coffee shop. Blue probably shouldn't have tracked down Adam's soulmate without his permission. But they did, and now all four of their lives are tangled up together, whether they like it or not.

Summary
The silence in the room is a sudden, absolute thing. When Arthur finally looks at him, his blue eyes are tired, disbelieving, and just a little bit amused. “Did you just dare me to quit my job and say fuck you to my father, Merlin?”
Putting on his best, I’m an idiot, what can you do face, Merlin shrugs. “That sums it up quite nicely, yes.”
Five increasingly absurd dares, and one time they finally speak the truth. Or: emotionally repressed idiots will find overly convoluted ways to be earnest with each other; just give them some time to figure it out.

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur says, and his voice has calmed, but there is still steel in the substructure of it. “You asked me to conjure fire; tell me how you've got the burn scar on your chest.”
It is everything Merlin can do not to laugh, hysteria gathering in the hollows of his teeth; of course, this is the scar that Arthur would ask about first. “No. Ask about another one.”
An attack gone wrong leaves Merlin and Arthur stuck in each other's bodies. While Merlin thinks the most complicated part is that Arthur ends up with his magic, it does not take long until he is reminded that it can always, always get worse.

Summary
"Only the person Merlin loves most can wake him." The girl took on the air of someone who held the upper hand over their adversaries. "Only a kiss from the person he desires most can break the curse."
"Why?" Mordred questioned, "Why lay such a curse on him and offer the chance of a cure?"
But Arthur knew the answer even as she said it. "Merlin desires no one. It isn't within his capability to."
