    Summary

    When Arthur Pendragon wakes from a poisoning he shouldn't have survived, something is wrong. Not with his body, but with the shape of the world around him. Someone that no one remembers has gone missing, but Morgana tells him what she has Seen: that the tug he feels in his heart says this missing person is not dead. Somehow, this person paid a price to save Arthur, but it wasn't a life for a life, as the Balance requires.

    Arthur is going to do everything in his power to find this person, even if the council believes he's going mad like his father.

    Summary

    Merlin has never learnt to control his magic. It is completely guided by his emotions and that usually doesn't turn out well.
    Arthur was chased out of Camelot as a young prince. His own sister killed their father and now he is just waiting for the right moment to reclaim his kingdom.
    When Merlin and Arthur meet, a hope seems to take root in the world that all will be well.
    Magical figures, dark magic, lies and betrayal make their experiences together anything but easy. But deep friendships, trust, loyalty and love bring them ever closer to their goal.
    Will Merlin find the control he needs and can Arthur forget his past to open his heart?

    Summary

    Merlin - raised by the druids - was taught that his destiny is for Arthur Pendragon to die at his hands, and that would end the Great Purge. It was Emrys who would restore magic to the lands, following the burial of the Pendragon dynasty.

    One day, the druids Merlin had grew up with had stained their hands with something similar to Emrys’s sins - they had captured a small group of passer-byers that posed a threat. Two knights from Camelot were among the four.

    Emrys had the displeasure of dealing with the intruders first, having to intimidate them until someone with higher authority would decide whether killing them would secure their safety.

    Unfortunately, Merlin had always been a curious boy.

    He has yet to discover that trying to be anything more than a murderer to these men would be where he met destiny. He was talking with the reason he was born.

    What happens when he betrays everything he’s learned just to hope that this prince would reach out over a chance to love? What happens when he binds himself to Arthur using magic?

    Will he meet the conditions of being open to learning magic? Will Merlin ever have to meet his own conditions; saving an anti-magic man from danger?

    Summary

    Merlin has magic,” Uther’s words hit Merlin like a ton of bricks, the spirit disappearing as if it was never there.

    Merlin closes his eyes, letting out the breath he’s been holding. He feels his back hit the door behind him, holding himself up against it. He doesn’t look at Arthur, just waits.

    One breath, two breath, three breath. Nothing.

    Merlin opens his eyes, looking up, half expecting Arthur to have disappeared to alert the guards. Arthur is staring at him, he is stock skill, breath coming out ragged and uneven. He looks crushed and not just from expelling his father’s spirit but that must also have contributed to it.

    “Arthur,” Merlin tries, swallowing when his voice shakes with the anticipation of Arthur’s reaction.

    “Is it true?” Arthur asks, his voice quiet but stern, he still holds the horn tightly in his grip by his side, his knuckles white with the force.

    “Arthur I-“

    “Yes or no, Merlin,” Arthur interrupts, voice suddenly louder in the empty corridor, he looks Merlin in the eye while he nods wordlessly before looking away, “you-you do. You would betray me? You?”
    ---
    In which Arthur find out from spirit Uther about Merlin's magic.

    Summary

    Most everyone Merlin knew warned him that nothing good would ever come of his little (though astonishingly requited) crush on the Lady Morgana. Merlin was, as of now, finding himself in agreement, as she made her dramatic return to Camelot one year after Merlin had attempted to kill her with hemlock. But when Merlin discovers the child, his child, he can say at least one very good thing, as well many more exceedingly ridiculous and complicated things, certainly had come of it.

    Featuring pervasive passive aggression and a general sense of melancholy, an extended and distinctly non peaceful political process to legalising magic, a not entirely willing family trip to Ealdor, and some foreign diplomatic negotiations somewhat lacking in diplomacy.
