    Summary

    “You’ll give me magical training?” Merlin asks.

    Arthur smiles. “Yes, and training in courtly etiquette. I imagine Ealdor doesn’t have nobles?”

    “We don’t have nobles, but we do have pigs. And chickens,” Merlin says. When Arthur raises his eyebrows at him, Merlin flushes heavily with embarrassment. “Oh, shut up. My lord.”

    “Don’t talk to your king like that,” Arthur says, but he doesn’t actually seem very upset about it, even though Merlin sort of wants to hit himself in the face. “Welcome to Camelot, sorcerer-apprentice Merlin of Ealdor.”

    Or: Merlin is sixteen when he comes to Camelot, vying for the new position of court sorcerer that has opened under King Arthur—a noble king, golden and lionhearted, who is trying to legalise magic in all of Albion. Of course, Merlin doesn't expect to be chosen.

    But he is.

    Summary

    “I’m not leaving you anyway. You have to try a lot harder than this to get rid of me.”
    “Never.”
    “See?” Their eyes met again, that old spark and flame between them. “You just have to marry me faster before I become a serious threat to your rule in the eyes of others.” Understanding came over Arthur like a veil. Within one heartbeat and the next, he had Merlin pressed up against the side of the crumbling hall, right there in the open. Autumn-winds howled at them. Would it always have come to this eventually, Arhtur wondered; were they too much their fathers’ sons?

    After defeating the tyrant of Essetir, Arthur and Merlin endeavour to find out what happened to the western half of the North: How did Uther wipe an entire kingdom off the map, and why does it still lie empty? The woods have grown hungry, winter winds are howling through the hills of old Elmet, and some ghosts of the past have a habit of coming back to haunt us when we ask them about their anger.

    Summary

    'You will forget all that you hold dear,' the sorcerer had vowed before he attacked Arthur, leaving his patrol dead and Arthur achingly thankful that for once, Merlin hadn’t been with him. Well, and he is quite certain that he hasn’t forgotten anything.

    As it turns out, everyone else has; specifically about him, and that Camelot is supposed to have a crown prince.

    When Merlin stumbles across him by chance, Arthur should be relieved. And he would be, really—if he hadn’t just been stabbed, and found out that Merlin has magic while he was at it. That Merlin does not remember who he is, either.

    It all gets a lot more complicated from there on out as Arthur tries to keep his own secrets, deal with the revelations about Merlin, and find a way not only to restore Camelot's memories, but protect it against the threats gathering on the horizon, too.

    When it rains, it pours; sometimes, the aftermath might just be worth it.
