Summary
“I said get out!” Arthur roared, spinning round, staring Merlin right in the eyes before turning to look down at his desk. “I don’t want to see you here ever again! Get out of my sight!”
That was the last time he saw Merlin. Those were the last words he’d spoken to him before Merlin disappeared from almost everybody’s lives.The world collapsed around him anew when Gaius told him neither Merlin nor Lancelot had been seen or returned since leaving through the front gates of Camelot on horseback.
Gwaine never came home.
It was six months later they found them.

Summary
When bookworm Merlin takes his uncle’s place as prisoner to a fearsome beast, he doesn’t expect kindness or hospitality. Or a talking candelabra, or a snobby clock. Least of all, he doesn’t expect to fall for the pratty, handsome creature that saves his life.

Summary
The trees above him are hissing a warning when he shakes from his stupor.
It hadn’t been long. He didn’t think so, anyways. There were no webs on his jacket and no moss at his boots. The distant calls of horns and shouts barrel closer. He blinks and becomes the pointed tusk of a boar. Breathes and is the pummeling rush of horse hooves. A second and now wrapped inside flesh again with wilting petals in his hand.
All at once, a hunt is around him.
A boar charges, skidding around, screaming as dogs latch on its ankles. There’s shouts and confusion and he cannot think to move. It’s not his instinct to avoid danger.
Then a hand is under his arm, pulling him up and back—he drops the flowers—even as a spear is thrust unevenly forward and gives an ugly gash to the creature’s side. There’s noise and wind and the boar is taken through the side. It dies roughly.
He slowly eases himself out of the man’s hand, turning to see bright eyes and golden hair and a face younger than the one he wears.
