Summary
When Arthur is born, Ygraine dies and Uther vows vengeance against all magic.
When Arthur is four, Nimueh decides to take matters into her own hands and casts an enchantment on the prince as penance for his father. One which can only be removed by a magic user willing to undo the enchantment for the sake of helping Arthur, and no other reason.
When Arthur is seven, the truth of the spell's nature comes to light.
When Arthur is fifteen, the rumours of the worsening enchantment spread among the kingdoms until news it has been removed take their place and his father tells Arthur he must never let anyone know the truth of the matter.
When Arthur is twenty, he lives with the firm belief the enchantment will never be lifted.
When Arthur is twenty, a boy named Merlin arrives in Camelot and, by a streak of luck, becomes the enchanted prince's manservant...

Summary
“Right,” Arthur mutters. “The interviews went rather well, I think. Although I’m not sure why you care, since you’re so unwilling to be my Court Sorcerer.”
“So odd that I’m taking an interest in the future of England, even if I’m not personally interested in the position,” Merlin says, and Arthur has the grace to look slightly abashed.
Or: Prince Arthur needs to find a new Court Sorcerer in the halls of Albion University. Merlin just wants to apply to a PhD in Magical Neo-Linguistics without being told that his destiny is to be by His Royal Horrendousness' side.
Of course, destiny doesn't take no for an answer.

Summary
“Oh. It’s you,” came a dry voice from the other side of the bookcase, and Merlin’s head snapped up. He sensed no gods around, and never in his nearly three millennia had a mortal ever said those words to him; not once.
His gaze landed on Arthur Pendragon.
“You can see me?”
Arthur paused, blinked. “Sorry?”
“You— you can see me?” Merlin rushed to the other side of the case. “You remember me?”
In which Merlin is a lonely god incharge of the mortals’ soulmarks, one of whom he keeps running into.

Summary
“Don’t name him,” Arthur says, though not unkindly. He’s trying to spare future pain, but it’s far too late; Merlin is already in love.
“Yes, my lord,” Merlin lies, as always.It is a long night, and he sleeps in tiny fits on the floor. His bed, the warmest place in his little room, clear of the chill stone of the keep, has been completely taken over. Bits of milk are fed to the puppy with a clean rag, taking ages to get even a sip in the fussy thing. “You really are just like Arthur, you know,” he says to the dog. “You need such an awful lot of attention.”
