Summary
Arthur Pendragon has walked the straight path all his life. He graduated school with honours, dated the prettiest girls, and is up for commendation at his precinct. Then he picks up a black envelope on the pavement during a case and suddenly his fortune turns on his head. He narrowly escapes death and is demoted instead of promoted all in one day. There's only one way to end his bad luck—and that’s to marry a ghost! Arthur wouldn’t have minded half as much if his fiance wasn’t so snarky and a man named Merlin.

Summary
Arthur should have hated what he saw. He should have been recoiling in disgust. Magic was cruel, disgusting, and violent. It corrupted and brought only pain to those around it.
But everything had been so gold, so full of life, so beautiful.
*
In which Arthur befriends a sorcerer hiding in the forests while hiding his identity as the Prince. As they navigate their budding relationship, the two explore what it means to be good and what it means to be loved.

Summary
Arthur has never cared about being proper around Merlin because Merlin has never been one to treat him properly. Still, it's rare for Arthur to slip and use his alpha voice, knowing that, even to the beta he believes Merlin to be, it's an overt exertion of power. The few times Arthur has commanded his servant in such a way, he usually orders Merlin to "shut up" or "go away", and Merlin can play it off like he's following Arthur's orders too literally in retaliation, until he's able to find the one alpha that knows about him (thank the Gods for Lancelot!) and convince him to override Arthur's order with his own.
This time he doesn't get the chance.
[Merlin gets stuck in Arthur's chambers without his suppressants or his scent blockers. Things turn out much better than he expects...]
EDITED: 16/4/26 (mostly for tenses, grammer, etc. but the old draft is saved if anyone preferred it)

Summary
He reaches forward, careful but determined. Darkness gives him no guidance, but his King does instead. Arthur’s hands close gently over his. “Here,” he murmurs, guiding him. He leads Merlin’s fingers up, toward his shoulder. “The clasp.”
His fingertips brush leather, then metal, then the warm skin at Arthur’s throat. He feels the steady, living pulse beneath his touch.
His fingers slip once, then again. Merlin exhales a quiet, frustrated laugh. “I’ve done this a thousand times.”
“A million,” Arthur corrects, fond.
“And yet,” Merlin mutters, trying again.
In which Merlin is injured in a battle and loses his sight.

Summary
“It’s not that, alright?” Arthur says with a huff. “It was me. My fault. That we got busted.”
Percy’s eyes are round. “What?”
“I pissed someone off.”
Gwaine is confused. “What, like you stole his shit?”
“… Like I walked out on him in the middle of the night while he’s still sleeping.” Arthur scratches his head. “He’s my ex.”

Summary
“Don’t get me wrong,” Merlin says, still just as quiet, his chin tucked into Arthur’s shoulder. “Of course you want to leave. There’s no reason to stay in the Underworld.”
Suddenly, Arthur is grateful that his face is hidden from Merlin’s view. Perhaps it’s for this reason that he finds himself saying, “Yes, there is. There’s one.”
In which Arthur is on a quest to escape the Underworld to find his mother when he meets Merlin, a peculiar but intriguing shade, along the way.
