Summary
That Arthur remembers him is reward enough; that the first thing he’d done after sleeping for a thousand years was kiss Merlin breathless is a different beast altogether.

Arthur has been king of Camelot for months now, ever since Morgana tried to kill him and succeeded in killing his father.

Summary
When a sparring accident nearly kills Arthur, Merlin reacts without thinking - and exposes his magic before the entire training yard. But the fallout is interrupted by a sorcerer’s attack that rips Merlin’s soul from his body, leaving behind only Emrys: magic incarnate, stripped of warmth and memory. As Camelot reels, Arthur must face not just the politics of magic and the prophecy surrounding him, but his own feelings for the servant who has always stood by his side. Magic has always come at a cost - but Arthur never imagined the price would be Merlin himself.

Summary
In his paranoia after Morgana’s betrayal, Uther is convinced the outer kingdoms are falling into magical ways again. Arthur is sent with his knights to the far kingdom of Deira, to check if their alliance with Camelot is still in place. During the trip there, Arthur learns that Merlin is keeping very important things from him.
But Deira has been cursed with something so terrible that only the Once and Future King can lift it. Arthur wishes to help. Things get even more complicated when Merlin saves Arthur and King Yffi from a falling tower that might have killed not just them, but a lot of children. Not his good intentions, nor the fact that he’s Arthur’s manservant, will save him from the pyre.
Or:
The amazing (and long) story of the Once and Future King and his Sorcerer starting to unite Albion (told without skipping a single uncomfortable moment of political craft, truth admissions, awkward love confessions and magical sex.)- Language:
