Summary
Five years into his reign, Arthur faces a magical curse that spells doom for Camelot. Desperate to save his people, Arthur reaches out to Emrys for aid— and is stunned when the great sorcerer arrives in person. Emrys is mysterious and irreverent, refusing to even show his face and instead keeping it always obscured by a magical cloak of shadows. But as they work together to fight back against the growing curse, Arthur finds himself drawn to the sorcerer for reasons that feel far too familiar. First a friendship blossoms, and then Arthur is forced to ask himself if he's falling in love.
A feeling he'd thought impossible since Merlin's death five years ago, when Arthur's heart shattered into pieces.

Arthur’s little manservant Merlin was a fucking liar, Larkin just couldn’t prove it.

The man was dead at their feet.

“Are you alright?” Merlin asked; eyes wide and chest heaving. He held the sword in his hand awkwardly and his words shook escaping him, but he could not pull the wool over Larkin’s eyes any longer.
Larkin scowled at him. “I knew you’d show your true colors eventually.”Series

Summary
Uther dies instead of Ygraine when Arthur is born. Balinor helps Ygraine secure her position as regent, magic isn’t banned, and Merlin and Arthur grow up side by side. Camelot is different but not cloudless, destiny is still a troublesome thing, and Arthur is still charmingly oblivious when it comes to things that matter most in life.

Summary
Arthur is young, gorgeous, talented, and captain of one of the best football teams in England; his life should be perfect. But he can't keep a girlfriend for more than a few months, and it's not just because he isn't ready to settle down. When his most recent girlfriend dumps him, he has a rough night at the pub and has to be dragged home by his neighbour, Merlin. Merlin is an archivist, a Ph.D student, and he hates football almost as much as he hates Arthur. They both have their own reasons for not wanting to spend time with each other, but after that disastrous night, remaining silent neighbors doesn't seem like much of an option anymore.
