Summary
When Arthur Pendragon, Crowned Prince of Camelot, manages to piss off his father again, it's the last straw. To teach him a lesson, Uther sends his son to the American Midwest to enroll in a standard university and see what life would really be like without his money, fame, and power. And Arthur is determined to prove that he can survive on his own.
Afraid that he may still be recognized in this far-off place, Arthur decides to attend University in disguise-- he will hide his face in bulky black glasses. No one will be the wiser.
The consequence, however, is he is no longer getting special treatment. And certainly not from fellow student Merlin, after their disastrous drunken run-in. The more time that passes makes Arthur more and more interested. Can he ever win him over? And if he does, will the reveal of his identity be too much to handle?

Summary
Merlin's body is reeling, the air rushing out of his lungs as he falls backward, and he only has time for one last act. One last move to make it all worth it.
He exhales harshly, grits his teeth, and within a single second a mass of pent up anger and love and loss is catapulting into Nimueh, and as his back snaps against the stone wall of the well and his heart lurches from where he dangles over the big dark deep, he hears the sound of a body falling and knows that he has won.
And like God is laughing at him, he tumbles. Down, down, down.
***
Merlin, after a battle with Nimueh leaves him trapped in a water well with no way out, reflects on his life and death. Arthur, miles away in the castle, wonders where Merlin has gone to. The clock is ticking, and Arthur is running out of time to reach him.

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur asks, tilting his head curiously as he soaks in the tub, finger absently caressing the mark painted onto his skin where his shoulder and neck meet. “Why do you never show your soulmark?”
Merlin doesn’t look at him when he answers, just focuses on plucking dirty tunics from the floor. “You don’t show your soulmark either, sire.”
Arthur huffs. “That’s not the same. I can’t. But if I weren’t the prince of Camelot, I would be showing it off everywhere. Most people do. Aren’t you worried you won’t find your soulmate?”
***
Arthur has always been proud of his soulmark, has always known that when his forever came along they would be remarkable. Merlin has kept himself so modestly covered since arriving in Camelot that Arthur can't help but be curious about the mark he must be hiding... until Merlin tells him that he's Unmarked.
But then Merlin becomes injured and unconscious, torn cloth at his neck, and Arthur pulls it aside to view the wound--and finds his matching soulmark instead.

Summary
When you meet your soulmate, you'll know it as soon as they say your name.
You're branded. For life.

When his stupid heroic instincts end up saving Arthur's life, Uther appoints Merlin to be his personal servant-- and Merlin resolves that Arthur can never know about the way their souls and destiny have bound together.
He would die first.

Summary
Arthur sat up abruptly. “What is it?” he asked. He reached for Merlin and tenderly touched his throat. “What’s happened?”
Merlin squeezed his eyes shut and flopped back down onto the bed. “Oh no,” he moaned miserably. “No…”
Arthur’s heart started racing as he frantically checked Merlin over for injuries. “What is it?!” he asked. He was nearly panicking now.
Merlin, eyes still pinched shut in misery, batted his hands away. “Stop it, Arthur. I’m not dying, I just… I’m sick. I feel as if I’d just swallowed glass instead of saliva.”
Well now Arthur was really alarmed. “Sick?”
~~~~~~~
A year after Arthur returns from Avalon, he finds himself taking care of Merlin, who has suddenly come down with strep throat.
