Or; Merlin longs to be with Arthur, his soulmate, so desperately that he’d do anything to stay in his life. But Arthur already has a soulmate, and the thought consumes Merlin, haunting him with the cruel truth that he was too late for the one love that was meant to be his.

Summary
Born with many inherited health issues, Merlin Emrys had dedicated much of his life to environmentalism and vigilante hacking. He is hired as a token environmental adviser for Albion Enterprises LTD in the aftermath of a tell-all book published by the CEO’s daughter. There, he meets Arthur, the CEO’s son, and is swept up into a whirlwind friendship and blossoming romance. It’s something he never intended — especially since he plans to hack the company from the inside. And, most especially, because Merlin is determined to be single for his entire life. But, he is drawn to Arthur, and Arthur is drawn to Merlin. They fit together. It's almost like they are two sides of the same coin. With so many things separating them and yet so many things drawing them together, Arthur and Merlin's destiny remains uncertain. Even as, once again, the future of Albion (Enterprises) rests on both their shoulders.
This fic is dedicated to those of us in the Merlin fandom who deal with serious chronic illnesses, whether mental or physical.

Summary
I’m terrible at summaries and I’ll probably come back to this but basically Arthur’s in the mafia and Merlin’s his secret lover who he would do anything to protect…and he does.
‘Merlin shook off Arthur’s suit jacket and threw it on the floor. He let out a breathy laugh when he heard it knock a few things over.
“I’ll get the blood stains out for you tomorrow, no need to waste a good jacket on a terrible man.”
That, that right there was one of the reasons Arthur loved Merlin. Oh yes he was smart, hilarious, too witty for his own good and one of the most beautiful men Arthur had ever seen. He was also the only person in the world who still kissed him when he had blood in his hair, who called him sweetheart ten minutes after seeing him kill seven men, who washed the blood from his clothes personally because he always wanted him to look nice. He was the only one who loved him for him.’

Summary
The Beltane ritual was something Arthur had never had the opportunity to witness before, though he knew of the practice in principle. Masked to hide their faces and dressed in white, young, unmated alphas, betas and omegas would take turns around the maypole, weaving ribbons in intricate patterns as they danced together. Civil propriety demanded that on every other day of the year scents were masked using a tincture prepared by Camelot's skilled apothecaries. During Beltane, however, the unmated could dance together, and test each other's scents for compatibility. The fertility ritual welcomed the coupling of those whose scents called to each other and if those individuals chose to leave their fun with the coming of the new dawn, a different tincture could ensure no lasting proof of that fun. For others, however, Beltane was revered for its bringing together of newly-mated pairs.
