    Summary

    Morgana ties Arthur's life to Merlin's, thinking that it'll be much easier to kill a helpless servant than the King of Camelot.

    Aka, Morgana unwittingly binds Arthur's life to the most powerful sorcerer to walk the earth.

    Aka, not only can they physically not leave each other's sides, but also anything Merlin feels, so does Arthur--and vice versa.

    Summary

    “When you said the Sorceress didn’t spell you. You were lying. I know you were, you did that weird nose flare thing you do when you lie. What did she do, Arthur?”

    Arthur tensed. Did he really have such a tell? Damn Merlin and always being able to read Arthur like children’s book. “It doesn’t matter,” Arthur sighed in defeat, “She tried to something but it clearly didn’t work. I’m perfectly fine, as Gaius said, and when she finished speaking, she collapsed to the ground, dead. Her magic backfired and killed her instead of me, I suppose.”

    He purposefully left out the part about the gold and the touch and the constant buzzing beneath his skin. He was sure it was nothing, and he knew it would only worry Merlin further.


    When out with his Knights and Merlin, Arthur is targeted by a vengeful Sorceress (per usual), and struck by a spell with...Unusual effects. Dangerous effects. Faced with a fearful challenge, a treasonous secret to keep, Arthur let's Merlin in to help him, only to discover Merlin could help more than he would have thought.

    Summary

    This is wrong, this is so, so wrong. He needs to tell Merlin who he really is. He shouldn’t be doing this – whatever it is that this is – when Merlin doesn’t even know the half of what he’s getting into. When Merlin doesn’t know who Arthur really is. When Arthur can feel himself falling in love with a man who knows him better than anyone else in the world yet doesn’t know him at all.

    But Merlin’s hand in his feels like everything he’s ever wanted, and there’s always tomorrow to tell him. Everything was too perfect, too earth-shatteringly wonderful to risk.

    Until it wasn’t.

    Summary

    “I’ll give you whatever you want,” the king says, shoulders drawn back, “just help me save my people.”

     

    The sun strikes his face and for a moment, Arthur looks made of gold. Pretty, Emrys can’t help but think. But still just a man.

     

    “Whatever I want?” Emrys’ smirk widens, “I want your pride. Now bow down to me and beg.”

     

    When long-time immortal and full-time hater of humanity, the great Emrys himself, finds the newly crowned King Arthur at his doorstep asking for his help, he gets way more than he bargained for on their journey to revive Camelot’s old wards and save the kingdom from war. Unfortunately for him, he's going to make friends, fall in love, and become a hero whether he wants to or not.

    Or, Merlin's been waiting centuries for something to believe in.
