    Summary

    Book 1 of the series.
    Bad at summaries, but this is basically a canon rewrite where Arthur knows about Merlins magic from episode 1 and this particular book is only season 1.
    Arthur wants to be the protective, scary boyfriend that everyone fears, but that is actually Merlin. Arthur is very quick to be intrigued, but Merlin wants nothing to do with him, which does change.
    Merlin is trying to rewrite destiny and change the route, not the outcome, which basically wages a war against the Gods and Fates. He soon learns that Arthur Pendragon isn’t just a prince, or his other part of destiny. He was something other, something rare.
    Merlin is Arthur's anchor of self-restraint, a light in his life, much like how I imagine Ygraine was for Uther.
    Spoiler: Arthur falls first, Merlin falls harder.

    Summary

    Arthur's biggest problem to date, Merlin thinks darkly as he carries yet another load of suspiciously not-really-dirty clothing down the stairs, is an unaccountable fear of anyone, anywhere, suspecting he's capable of being other than a complete and utter prat.

    Summary

    What if Arthur knew about Merlin’s magic from the start? Not that Merlin knows he knows. Just Arthur’s luck his manservant has a heroic streak that doesn’t extend at all to himself. Still, Arthur supposes he can endure, so long as Merlin doesn’t get caught for his sorcery first.
