Summary
"Was there... was there truly a need for you to kiss me, Merlin?"
"You were drowning, Arthur. Believe me, kissing a stubborn, ungrateful royal idiot was not on my itinerary today."One is an Ezaki, a prince searching for the Lake of Avalon to tear down the walls between their worlds. The other is a sorcerer, risking everything to seal the sword forever within its hidden waters.
Beginning in Constantinople, the heart of the Eastern Roman Empire, and stretching deep into the Sassanid Empire to the ancient city of Gundeshapur—this is a journey set in 540 AD, where real historical events interweave with a high-stakes "Enemies to Lovers" romance.
✾
Long ago, as humans and Ezakis faced mutual destruction, their kings knelt before the sacred sword in the Lake of Avalon. A history written in blood was sealed with peace, and the Khazar Era began.
Until Uther Pendragon rose to power and turned that peace to ash. Desperate, humanity turned back to Avalon. The lake's magic raised a colossal, insurmountable wall between the two realms. The magic was never to be broken; the gate, never opened. Yet, on the day the world tore in two, a power was born to change everything—Merlin.

Summary
Eye fucking: to stare at someone with nefariously explicit intent and for them to do it back is a bonus.
Arthur Pendragon has a problem.
He cannot stop staring at Merlin.
At first he blames the fact that his servant is irritating, mysterious, and seemingly incapable of acting like a normal person. Then Morgana discovers Merlin's secret, magic begins slipping through the cracks, and Arthur finds himself uncovering layer after layer of the man standing beside him.
Set during Season 2. Arthur learns Merlin has far more secrets than anyone suspected and discovers, to his increasing annoyance, that he doesn't seem to care. -

Summary
There's something off about the way Merlin is looking at Arthur. He's nervous, awkward and instead of hiding his suspicious behaviour with insults or jokes. He drowns Arthur's concerns with kisses.

Summary
Merlin’s mother had made it very clear to him what he should do when she sent him off to Camelot. Merlin wasn’t to tell anyone he had magic, his mother was scared that he would be collared to keep him in line if someone found out. Yet, Camelot was, above all, one of the best places for an alpha warlock to be. In Essitir, the omega king would drag alphas off to his palace once they were old enough, claim them, and use them for their powers. It was a fate that Merlin’s mother had feared him facing since he presented at twelve summers old. It was why, on the eve of his eighteenth summer, she sent him away to the bordering kingdom before Cenred’s men could show up in Elador to take him away. In Camelot Merlin could have a future.
It was a more hopeful future than what he would have in any other kingdom.
Other than Essitir and Camelot, all other kingdoms executed alphas who had magic, mated or not, too afraid of what they could do. Camelot had done the same, once, but that had changed when the Queen had fallen for an alpha sorceress and had taken her as her mate, changing the law to allow mated magical alphas to live in peace.
All Merlin had to do was catch an omega....
... or let one catch him...

Summary
It’s been several hours since the fight that took his brother’s life and Chosen is still reeling. But there’s no time because all of that fighting caught the attention of hired mercenaries who have come to deliver punishment for Chosen’s crimes. While escaping, Chosen is hit and falls into the water. Before he has a chance to orient himself or recover, he’s surfacing somewhere totally new. Then going back under. Curse his inability to swim.
Merlin was sending off his king when the world decided to throw him a curveball in the form of a weird teenager who he had to save from drowning. He is so not in the mood for this.
TLDR: Merlin now has a younger brother.

The bandits came from the tree line like shadows given teeth. Arthur had his sword drawn before the first cry rang out, steel singing free of the scabbard as he pivoted toward the rush of bodies.
They were outnumbered—six knights against what looked like twenty men, ragged and desperate, pouring from the dark wood on either side of the forest road. -
