    Summary

    "I– You– Here?"

    "This is my apartment. Morgana's party but... my house. Penthouse, I mean. Obviously it's not a house."

    "Oh."

    Arthur licked his lips. "I can't say I'm complaining. It could be worse."

    "Yeah." Merlin felt breathless. Arthur's eyes were still intensely blue, even under the dark lights. "Definitely could be worse."

     

    Or, Merlin and Arthur are exes who just can't seem to let each other go, even years later.

    Summary

    Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table were currently one of the, if not the most famous band in the world.

    The sound they produced was catchy, new and managed to remain fresh after each song. All of their talents merged into one to create something beautiful, and the king that led his knights to battle (pun intended) was the center of it all.

    All in all, Arthur had everything, the looks, the wealth, the fame and the love of all the people around the world… well…
    Everyone’s except Merlin’s…

    Summary

    Merlin Blackrose is just twenty-one and a world-famous rock musician who lives to perform on stage, feeding off the energy and the love of his fans. Annis Solberg, his manager and legal guardian, struggles to keep him happy and protected from the dark side of the music industry. It doesn’t help that Merlin craves normalcy and constantly gives his bodyguards the slip, putting himself in mortal danger. The target of several death threats, kidnapping attempts, and even a physical attack, Merlin feels like a prisoner in five-star hotels.

    Just recovered from a gunshot wound he sustained while protecting an unnamed politician, Arthur Pendragon receives a call from his ex-fiancé, Mithian, asking him to come to Seattle for a job protecting someone very special to her. He finds himself inexplicably drawn to the person he is to protect. Merlin is a brokenhearted, lonely boy still grieving his mother and caught up in a world where everyone wants a piece of him. Being the son of Uther Pendragon, Arthur knows what that is like...to feel like a prisoner in a gilded cage. Can he keep Merlin safe and still help him find some normalcy in a world where crazed, obsessed fans and dangerous predators lurk in the shadows?

When he complies, Arthur is shocked to hear his neighbour joining in on the music with their violin. Soon enough, Arthur and his mysterious neighbour are routinely playing their strange duets through the walls of their flats.
