    "Two vials sit cradled in Merlin’s palm. Their contents are near identical—one filled with a clear liquid, the other a cloudy one. If he closes his eyes, there’ll be no way to distinguish between them."

    Merlin has waited thousands of years for Arthur's return. Now, he makes a decision he never thought he'd make.

    Summary

    Arthur has always known who he is.

    He is the crown prince of Camelot. He will one day be king. He likes women. These are facts as certain and unquestioned as the rising of the sun.

    Then one afternoon, Arthur looks at Merlin and thinks he's beautiful.

    Terrified of what it means and convinced he will destroy the most important relationship in his life, Arthur struggles to bury feelings that only grow stronger with time. But Merlin has always known Arthur better than anyone—and when the truth finally comes out, Arthur discovers he may not be the only one who has been keeping secrets.

    Summary

    At some point the monster chasing Merlin had had names that meant something to him.

    Percival
    Elyan
    Lancelot
    Gwaine
    Leon
    Arthur

    But not anymore. Now, the group of knights slinks through the forest at break-neck speed, with such a degree of practiced and lethal unison they may as well have been the golden dragon curled on each of their shoulders.

    So Merlin is running.

    Merlin is running for his life.

    OR

    Merlin accidentally reveals himself as a sorcerer to Arthur and the knights. A very traumatizing 24 hour sorcerer-hunt proceeds this, that leads to a very conflicted Arthur, a very injured Merlin, and a very angry Gwaine.

    Summary

    "Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."

    Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.

    Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.

    But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.

    Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.
