   Summary

   Arthur was born of magic.

   Merlin was born magic. Merlin was born because of Arthur. Merlin was born FOR Arthur. Everything he'd ever done and will do, was and will be for Arthur.

   Always.

    

   What happens when Arthur starts to appreciate Merlin and his efforts? What happens, when their emotions run wild and they won't be able to hold them back anymore? What happens when Merlin and Arthur finally give in to their desires and accept their true destiny: to be two sides of the same coin?
