Summary
When Uther Pendragon seeks out and begs Nimue to bless him with an heir, he did not realise the consequences would leave him with a dead wife and a son that possesses magic.
Arthur Pendragon has spent his life trying to be the perfect son, the flawless prince, the man his father demanded he become. But deep beneath his armor lies a secret he doesn’t understand, a power that burns in his blood and answers to his heart. A power he’s been taught to fear.
But destiny has other plans. As Camelot trembles beneath Uther’s crusade against magic, a young sorcerer named Merlin arrives with secrets of his own; and an unshakable belief that Arthur’s fate is entwined with the very thing he’s been taught to despise. As their bond deepens, so too does the truth between them, blurring the lines between friendship and something far more powerful.

Summary
“When I first learned of the prophecy, they said I was the most powerful of all. Many believed I could have anything I ever wanted. And yet, I never thought I could have you.”
“You can have everything”, Arthur breathed out, holding onto Merlin’s hands as if he would fall to his knees again any second without their support.
“Everything I have is yours. Everything I am is yours”, he sighed out with such a heavy tone as if he had been waiting to utter these words for a decade.
He probably had.

Summary
“I need to take off your shirt. Do you think you can sit up for me?” He really didn't want to make him move, but things would go much more smoothly that way. “At least long enough to get it off, then you can lay back down, I promise.”
“Okay, but only because you promise,” Merlin never expected such a cheeky answer from him in this state, but Arthur rose up. It was a slow process, but he made it with Merlin's help.
He was unsteady, and he looked to Merlin like he was his one and only guide. His gaze told Merlin that he was listening, watching, and waiting. Waiting to do whatever Merlin told him to do. Which was so unfathomably unlike Arthur.
*I've made the smallest edit here, I just lengthened the scene where Arthur gets slapped a little. I had a scene in my head that I couldn't get out, but it wasn't enough to make a whole second fic for*

Summary
“Think about it, ladies and gentlemen,” the auctioneer crowed. “Just imagine! A prince bowing at your feet! Serving you. In any manner you wish!”
The implications of the last statement sent shudders into his body and the crowd rose in volume and even more in price.
Arthur shut his eyes. This was him now. A slave. His past life forgotten save for the appeal of selling him off to a new master. He had tried to escape so many times and had the scars to count them, but he could escape no more now. He had accepted it months ago.
Suddenly, a voice rose.
“Twelve hundred gold pieces.”
And the crowd fell into a hush.

Summary
Detective Arthur Pendragon doesn’t believe in ghosts – until one starts following him home. A routine investigation at a druid burial site leaves him accidentally engaged to Merlin, a very annoyed, very dead activist with unfinished business. Now, Arthur has two choices: ignore the bond and ensuing bad luck, or get very comfortable being haunted by his sarcastic, spectral fiancé.
(Murder investigations. Unwanted soul bonds. Questionable supernatural bureaucracy. Arthur’s having a terrible few weeks and Merlin is loving it.)
