    Summary

    There’s a weird, crawling tension that permeates a room in the moments before a tavern brawl begins. Merlin would really be paying much closer attention to the potential danger, if only she wasn’t so suddenly and completely captivated by a mysterious woman, who holds a tankard of ale in her hands and has a self-assured grin on her lips.

    Summary

    The Prince, despite his best efforts, could not stop his hand from shaking as he held his sword to Merlin’s- no, not Merlin’s- pulse. The boy tried to crawl backwards a bit, away from the sharp edge, but Arthur just moved forward with him. The sword trembled with adrenaline against the sorcerer’s pale skin.

    Arthur couldn’t help but notice the boy’s ruddy cheeks, bright red from the cold and exertion. The snow made light dance in his tear tracks. The neckerchief that Merlin commonly wore was discarded on the snow; It must have fallen during the fight. It left his smooth neck exposed to the cold, riddled with goosebumps, and unmarred save for the blood-soaked steel, pressing in on his pulse point. Arthur could not deny that the… thing wearing Merlin’s face was beautiful.

     

    Merlin is forced to reveal his powers during an attack. Chaos and angst ensue. I feel like most people give Arthur too much credit in magic reveals.

    Summary

    Five years after the battle of Camlann, King Arthur devises a challenge: whoever can enchant him to hand over his mother’s sigil is to become Court Sorcerer of Camelot. To most sorcerers, it is an impossible, undecipherable task.

    But to one sorcerer, it is a clear message: come home.
