Summary
After years of increasingly dangerous magical attacks, Arthur finally decides that he should know his enemy, and cracks open a bestiary to study monsters. To his shock, the book talks about people who were *born* with magic, and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense, because one of the entries reads as though it was written with Merlin specifically in mind!
Alternatively: Arthur picks up the medieval equivalent of a D&D manual, and puts two and two together, but still somehow arrives at three

"“It felt like years… until you entered, that is. Then it felt like only a few minutes.""

Summary

An anti-magic Merlin gets kidnapped. Will a handsome prince come and save him? Or will he resort to his monstrous ways?
------------------<3
OR
"“What do you want from me?” He whispered out. It was more than enough for them to hear with the eerie silence of the night. They all came out from their places and Merlin heard a loud bellowing chuckle."
"Merlin concluded that this experience made him feel a little more human, especially since he almost escaped with no magic. He felt like his throat was a little more open, even with all the blood. He could probably use this as an excuse not to talk, post-traumatic stress disorder or something. He should. Make his life easier."

Summary
Arthur gives Merlin a knife,
Merlin takes up carpentry.
The fates recast the dice,
Camelot becomes anarchy.𖥸
“Girl.” He near enough whispered taking the back of Merlin’s wrist into his palm and drawing it up to meet his face. He inhaled, still with no exact location of the smell. Moving up Merlin’s arm across his face as the other looked on dumbly.
Reaching the pit of his elbow Arthur stilled, there is was, the fragrance laid upon Merlin’s inner forearm.
He pulled it gently closer, wanting a deeper inhale before confirming and reporting back to the other. He was indeed correct.The trouble was Arthur had regrettably misjudged the space between his own face and Merlin’s skin. Causing his slightly parted lips to brush ever so gently across Merlin’s forearm. Sending a jolt through both men at the feeling. Neither acknowledged the graze but they were effected by it nonetheless. Arthur’s heart rate sped as Merlin’s stopped completely. Four sets of blue eyes widened.
They were both too stubborn to speak. Meaning they sat in purgatory for quite some time, feeling neither comfortable nor uncomfortable. Something strange shifting inside of them as the sun began to set over Camelot.

Summary
Detective Arthur Pendragon doesn’t believe in ghosts – until one starts following him home. A routine investigation at a druid burial site leaves him accidentally engaged to Merlin, a very annoyed, very dead activist with unfinished business. Now, Arthur has two choices: ignore the bond and ensuing bad luck, or get very comfortable being haunted by his sarcastic, spectral fiancé.
(Murder investigations. Unwanted soul bonds. Questionable supernatural bureaucracy. Arthur’s having a terrible few weeks and Merlin is loving it.)

Summary
“Has the castle changed so very much while I’ve been gone?” Merlin asks, addressing the men on duty. “I was led to believe these were the king’s chambers and yet I seem to find them occupied by a bear instead of a man.”
“Out,” Arthur rumbles, steely command in the low pitch of his voice.
“Don’t worry,” Merlin calls to the retreating guards. “I’ll handle this creature in here. If you happen to see the king, please inform him I’ve returned!”

Summary
Fit Bloke yanks the books from his hands harshly, unbalancing Merlin, making him have to stop himself from face planting by bracing a hand on the floor. Giving him a disgusted look, Fit Bloke sneers, “Get up, you look ridiculous,” before briskly walking away in the opposite direction, his leg connecting with Merlin’s shoulder and knocking him over again.
“Prat,” Merlin says, collecting himself and getting up. Fit Bloke may be a prat, and an arse, but the view of his bum when he strutted away wasn’t bad at all. In fact, it was a very peachy bum, probably from footie....
