Summary
As the clock struck midnight on November 1st 1981, the one known as Petunia Evans was making herself a cup of tea in her kitchen. It tasted salty as she shakily sipped it… Must be the tears mixing in.
Not two hours ago she’d woken up with a gasp, and as soon as she felt the searing pain in her chest, she knew… her little sister was gone.
Now she was alone… First her parents, dead, and now her sister was gone too. Would they find her too? If masquerading as muggles hadn’t worked for her parents… would it be enough for her?
The telltale cracks of apparition coming from outside startled her, and she made her way slowly towards the front door.
When she opened it, she found her nephew on the ground in a basket, eyes as green as her sister’s staring up at her.
In that moment, as their gazes connected, something snapped in place inside her. Maybe Lilia had it right all along, even if it had gotten her killed. Maybe it was time to come out of hiding and actually do something about things. For her, and for her baby.
“Hello Henry, I’m your aunt Phaedra,” she crooned soothingly, her true name sounding weird to her after so long not saying it out loud, “let’s get you inside where it’s warm, ok sweetheart?”- Language:

Summary
Arthur Pendragon and Merlin were literally from two different worlds. One is a prince from a great kingdom and the other a common farm boy from the next kingdom over. These two should have never met.
But that was before they realized their parents were once friends and arranged the two of them to marry when they reached adulthood. That was before Uther turned on magic and Hunith went on the run with her infant son.
Now almost twenty years have passed and these two boys have grown into men. Camelot knights have found Hunith and come to collect her son.
Will Merlin survive this new world he has been thrusted into? A peasant among royals, a sorcerer among those that would have him killed if they found out. Can Merlin even begin to hope for happiness when the prince he is forced to marry wants nothing to do with him?
Follows canon but with my own arranged marriage spin to it
