Summary
“I’ll give you whatever you want,” the king says, shoulders drawn back, “just help me save my people.”
The sun strikes his face and for a moment, Arthur looks made of gold. Pretty, Emrys can’t help but think. But still just a man.
“Whatever I want?” Emrys’ smirk widens, “I want your pride. Now bow down to me and beg.”
When long-time immortal and full-time hater of humanity, the great Emrys himself, finds the newly crowned King Arthur at his doorstep asking for his help, he gets way more than he bargained for on their journey to revive Camelot’s old wards and save the kingdom from war. Unfortunately for him, he's going to make friends, fall in love, and become a hero whether he wants to or not.
Or, Merlin's been waiting centuries for something to believe in.

Summary
When the Witchfinder unmasks Merlin not only as a sorcerer but as an Omega, chaos erupts in Camelot. Dragged to the dungeon, Merlin faces execution, or worse. Arthur makes the impossible choice: bond Merlin to protect him from Uther’s wrath. But protection comes at a cost neither of them is prepared for, marriage, heat, and an unexpected future neither prince nor servant ever thought possible.
in the tags, you’ll see non-con listed, but don’t worry, there is no rape in this story.

Summary
As an omega in Camelot, serving an alpha King, Merlin had to be careful. Careful about how he acted, careful about how he smelled, careful about who he was alone with.
As a warlock, destined to protect said alpha King, Merlin had to be careful. Careful about who Arthur was alone with, careful about what others saw, careful about the shadows that constantly surrounded them.
No matter what role he served, Merlin had to be careful.
Always, always careful.
