    Summary

    The first time Arthur meets Merlin, the circumstances are far from ideal: Arthur is desperately trying to fix his marriage to Gwen, while Merlin is still coming to grips with the loss of his husband, Will. They get off to a more than rocky start, but soon Arthur finds out that there is more to romance than sending flowers and pretty verses - and that Merlin knows what these things are. As their friendship grows, Arthur learns not only the ways of courtship, but also that between the two of them, it might be Merlin who needs help more than Arthur does in order to overcome his grief and move on with his life. In the midst of all of this, Arthur realises that he doesn’t want Gwen back after all. He just wants Merlin.

    Summary

    ::Revised:: Camelot University is both the safest and most dangerous place for Merlin to hide while he waits for his magic to mature.  One term; it's all he has to last, and then he can take his rightful place in the magical community and get to the heart of why magic is fading in the world.  One term of laying low, keeping to himself, and getting ready for what is to come.  It's a solid plan...until Arthur Pendragon steps into the picture.

    Summary

    The year is 2355 and Arthur Pendragon is the darling of Albion's capitol, Camelot. He's rich, handsome and the heir to Pendragon Enterprises, the world market leader of technology.

    Of course behind the facade, Arthur's life is far from perfect. His father is a demanding man and the betrayal of his ex-girlfriend has left him with even more issues than before, while through it all he's doing his best to take care of his mentally ill sister.

    But things really start to escalate when Arthur is put in charge of launching a new series of android models, the M-RYS line, and he discovers a malfunctioning model that seems more like a human than a computer.

    Things only go downhill from there.

    Between struggling with his ever growing feelings for Merlin and discovering one strange thing after the other, Arthur's world is completely upended as he and Merlin embark on a mission to discover his father's secrets.

    Summary

    Merlin knew starting at the highly prestigious Cambridge University would bring a wealth of new opportunities and experiences. But he had never thought that would include falling in with royalty.
    Soon he's sucked into a world where everyone has a title and a duty to uphold. And maybe one or two people are also prats. Quickly, though, he realises one prat in particular might be something

    Summary

    After living in Camelot for ten years, Merlin has accomplished nothing - magic is still illegal, Albion remains a mirage, and he's still 'just a servant' who is lonely and tired of his hopeless pining for Arthur.

    Merlin will pay a heavy price for his lack of direction as Arthur’s walls of denial crumble and Morgana’s plans to destroy Emrys approach fruition. In his desperation to save the Golden Age of his dreams, Merlin will have to call upon his magic like never before, testing the old adage that power corrupts - and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Summary

    Merlin thought his story was done - the perfect picture was already taken. He was living in the Happily Ever After, with everything it entailed: a happy marriage, five amazing and imperfect children, a friendly ex-wife, fantastic friends and a woman that never failed to surprise him.

    He would never have thought it would all fall apart faster than a camera snaps.

    Summary

    Not much is known about the blue sun, Assetir; even less of its ninth planet, an unnamed gas giant. But the moon which orbited the gas giant is well-documented in contemporary chronicles. It was called Ealdor by its inhabitants. Its mass, its irregular shape, its composition bore evidence of a darker truth. Ealdor was not simply a moon; it was formed out of the remains of a dead Dragon.

    It is said that a Dragon cannot survive without a Dragonlord. The Great Dragon, being the greatest of them all, persevered. When it could no longer endure, it travelled to Assetir, where a Dragonlord lived in exile, and made its call.

    Meanwhile, in the town of Camelot, the Great Dragon's people lived in ignorance of the new Dragonlord who had appeared among them and set a series of events in motion which would challenge everything they knew of the world they lived in.

    His name: Merlin.

    Summary

    He drifts to Cenred’s window, and against his will, his thoughts turn to the punter from the night before - Merlin, the magic man, with the eye brand on his inner arm, and his way of speaking, hesitant at first, but bolder, and his hands .... Mordred shakes his head and turns around as Cenred comes back into the room.

    “Hold out your arm, lovely. This’ll get you through with Morgause.”

    Mordred smiles lazily and holds up his arm, watching as Cenred expertly applies the pop to his Shunt.

    “There. And now you owe me again, lovely.”

    Summary

    Arthur is a pampered prince who has reached the point where he is tired of his father making every decision for him, including who to marry. When he is betrothed to the horrible Vivian he manages to convince his father to allow him to set off away from Camelot to "sow his royal oats."

    His sister Morgana on the other hand decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to actually find himself another bride.

    So along with his best friend and "bodyguard" Gwaine he heads to the small town of Ealdor. He's skeptical about finding true love here. But when he's robbed he meets an unlikely savior that could turn out to be exactly the person he was looking for.
