Summary
Five years into his reign, Arthur faces a magical curse that spells doom for Camelot. Desperate to save his people, Arthur reaches out to Emrys for aid— and is stunned when the great sorcerer arrives in person. Emrys is mysterious and irreverent, refusing to even show his face and instead keeping it always obscured by a magical cloak of shadows. But as they work together to fight back against the growing curse, Arthur finds himself drawn to the sorcerer for reasons that feel far too familiar. First a friendship blossoms, and then Arthur is forced to ask himself if he's falling in love.
A feeling he'd thought impossible since Merlin's death five years ago, when Arthur's heart shattered into pieces.

Summary
Merlin hated Tuesdays. He loathed them with a passion. This was a conclusion he quickly reached at the start of the year. Nothing good ever happened on Tuesdays.
With a heavy sigh, Merlin walked into his classroom and quietly took his seat at the back of the room, near the window. No one greeted him or even looked at him, which was fine with him. Merlin looked out through the window, staring at nothing in particular. Like this, he could let the world fade into the background and pretend nothing existed around him. He let his thoughts wander aimlessly without attempting to hold on any one of them. It wouldn’t do him any good, anyway. They were all fleeting, half-formed reflexions that mostly came out of nowhere and had no fixed destination. Just passing through.
“Perhaps you would like to share with the class what has you so captivated, Mr. Emrys.”
Merlin recoiled so hard that his chair tipped back. He flailed desperately, catching himself on the edge of his desk. The front legs of his chair landed back on the floor with a loud clack. Around him, the whole room erupted in boisterous laughter, drowning Merlin in embarrassment. He stared mutely at Mr. Aredian’s cold grey eyes.

Summary
Avalon—if there was ever a time for Albion’s greatest need, it was now.
The man who had silently guarded Albion, who had stood through every storm, every betrayal, every heartbreak, even when he was burned alive by the very people he had protected. And now, the same man was broken, desperate to die.
Arthur reached out. He felt the coldness of Avalon’s waters, the dampness creeping into his bones, but his hand—his hand was no longer empty. It was filled with the warmth of Merlin’s grip, the cold steel of Excalibur.
“Merlin,” Arthur’s voice broke through the silence, “this is your king’s command. You are not allowed to seek death.”

Summary
He would do something useful. Something modern. Modern husbands took care of their partners when they were sick. They cooked. They provided nourishment. How hard could it be?
Arthur propped his phone against the kettle and squinted at YouTube.
“Easy chicken noodle soup,” the video chirped cheerfully.
Arthur narrowed his eyes. “We’ll see about that.”
