    Summary

    “I can’t,” Simon pleaded, voice breaking. “Fuck, Ryland, I can’t, I can’t—”
    “Even if I want you to?” Grace asked, and Simon’s breath caught in his chest. “Let go, Simon. Whatever you want to do to me, I’m game.”
    “Don’t say that. Fuck, don’t say that. You don’t know what you’re asking for.”
    “Don't discredit me. I know what I want.”
    Simon jerked away from him with a snarl. “You’re gonna get hurt. I can’t control myself.”
    “Then let me help you.

    Four months ago, the Eridians found a human welded into a metal box on the bottom of an ocean made of human blood, and somehow that's not the weirdest thing about the man. Even after they let him out of quarantine, he doesn't talk much, and Grace keeps a cordial but distant relationship with him--until he gets sick with some mystery illness and Grace gets tasked with helping him recover, because surely he knows what to do. (Spoiler alert: he doesn't. But he figures it out.)

    Summary

    Arthur was at his wits' end when he caught Merlin walking out of the tavern, which led him to make a horrible mistake, one that proved to be the last straw for Merlin, who decided there was nothing else to do but publically quit his job and leave Camelot in a huff.

    Arthur never realized how much Merlin did for him-- or for Guinevere-- until he was gone; neither he nor his wife realized just how integral Merlin was to Camelot... and to their marriage.

    *Story is complete apart from final editing and will be posted in full over the next few days. Currently clocking in at about 20k. Explicit in the fifth chapter.*

    Summary

    When Morgana and Agravaine attempted to take Camelot by siege, Merlin could only see one path forward: reveal himself, and push back their army. Now, with Agravaine dead and his secrets revealed, his relationship with Arthur seems broken beyond repair, especially since Arthur has sent him away from Camelot to represent the Crown's interest outside of the city.

    Accompanied by Gwaine, Percival, and two new knights, Merlin must endeavor to reassure the Kingdom and its allies that magic can be a force for good even as he navigates the pressures that come from being a newly-elevated noble and Arthur's recognized personal sorcerer.

    His quest begins with King Olaf and Lady Vivian.

    Summary

    Merlin knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to shortly after arriving in Camelot. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – for those who appreciated such things.

    As such, Arthur’s message was clear.

    Keep it safe for my future bride.

    And, well, he could do that. No matter what it took.
