    Summary

    Merlin, Prince of Dracaneard, only meant to go visit Camelot in secret so he could see the land of prophecy and meet his uncle. He really didn’t intend to save Prince Arthur’s life or be given a job as his manservant for the trouble.

    But it’s a good way to get to know the prince who is prophesied to unite Albion and bring back magic by Merlin’s side, isn’t it? And it’s not as if Arthur knows that his newest servant is the crown prince to Camelot’s enemy.

    Surely, this won’t turn ten shades of complicated all too soon.

    Summary

    “I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”

    “What about what I want?”

    “I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”

    Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

    Summary

    “Damning?” She whispers fearfully.
    “To Hell,” Merlin whispers back. “You don’t know what King Arthur is capable of.”
    Ulla swallows again. Perhaps Emrys really is chained up in one of the castle dungeons.

    While awaiting the inauguration feast for Camelot's new mysterious court sorcerer, a young foreign chambermaid becomes wrapped up in harboring a fugitive manservant hiding from King Arthur. Comedy, terror, and fruit tarts ensue.

    Summary

    “Have I ever been a good manservant?” Merlin asked, because he couldn’t very well say ask me for something else and see what I wouldn’t give to you. It should have been more insulting that this of all things was what finally made Arthur relax.

    Merlin confuses a typical favor with one of the gift-giving, courtly variety when Camelot hosts a winter tournament. Arthur tries his hand at courtship.
