    Summary

    Returning after a journey that kept them far from Camelot for many weeks, Merlin finds himself dutifully trailing a strangely reticent Arthur to his chambers. Once inside he expects things to proceed as they normally would - a meal, a bath, getting Arthur settled for bed - but that mercurial mood persists and things progress in a (welcome) direction that Merlin certainly didn't expect.

    Summary

    For a split second that lasts eons, Arthur exists in that horribly weightless space before gravity conquers, and then he's falling. Distantly, he hears Merlin cry out his name in panic, and then he’s bracing himself for impact.

    An impact that never comes.

    Silently hoping, begging, for anything but what he knows he’s about to see, Arthur turns his head to look.

    And sees Merlin, hand outstretched, and eyes ablaze with gold.

    ***

    Faced with the revelation of Merlin's secret and a sudden internal war between duty and sentiment, Arthur must make a decision that will affect both of their fates. And when Merlin is gravely injured, the time to make that decision rapidly dwindles. Arthur must quickly choose what matters most: the demands of the law, or those of his heart.

    Summary

    Morgana ties Arthur's life to Merlin's, thinking that it'll be much easier to kill a helpless servant than the King of Camelot.

    Aka, Morgana unwittingly binds Arthur's life to the most powerful sorcerer to walk the earth.

    Aka, not only can they physically not leave each other's sides, but also anything Merlin feels, so does Arthur--and vice versa.

    Summary

    “If I do this, if I cast this spell, there’s no telling where it will take you.”

    There’s only one thing Merlin needs to know. “Will Arthur be there?”

    Freya nods hesitantly. “I believe so, yes.”

    And that’s all that matters.

    “Then do it.”
