Summary
A hunt gone sideways nearly claims Gwaine’s life, and without Merlin’s intervention, it would have. But in saving him, Merlin reveals the one secret he’s always kept, his magic. He expected Arthur to be angry and betrayed. He never expected the ferocity of his king’s rage.
Given a final warning—run, or face the pyre—Merlin disappears.
Haunted and heartbroken, he wanders the kingdoms, performing miracles with magic he no longer trusts. In Camelot, Arthur is left to reckon with the weight of his choices, while whispers spread of what, or who, he drove away.
Years later, rumors tell of a nameless healer who never asks for thanks and never shows his face. Arthur can’t let him slip away again.
But Merlin believes he is being hunted, not forgiven.

Summary
They thought the bond was between them — the knights and Arthur, tied in battle and destiny. When Merlin touched them and warmth bloomed, they thought nothing of it. Just Merlin. Always there, always loyal.
But soulmates aren't always obvious.
When the bond meant to sustain him begins to rot from neglect, Merlin makes the only choice he can: he leaves. Quietly. Without goodbye. Hoping distance can sever a connection they never wanted — and praying it won’t kill him first.

Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Bookmarker's Notes
Instead of forging documents for Lancelot, merlin and Arthur work together to legally knight him. As punishment Uther says that all the money required to do so must come out of Arthurs own pocket. This gives arther more freedom than the King intended. Arthur soon occupies his mother's old townhouse, Miracle Court.
