Summary
Arthur is a world class violinist, trapped in Sydney, Australia, by his fear of flying. In the wake of a mediocre concert, vicious critics and with barely a month to go before his next (hopefully reputation-saving) recital, Arthur is almost at breaking point. When his accompanist, Morgana, breaks her wrist in a car accident, Arthur is more or less doomed. And the story begins, when the Maestro at the conservatoire, Gaius Stresemann, recommends his protege Merlin Emrys to step in. Merlin, who plays by ear, as he pleases and really just wants to be a kindergarten teacher.
Well. The story really starts six months previously when Arthur passes out drunk outside Merlin's shoe-box apartment.

Summary
It’s been three months since Arthur’s death.
The kingdom tries to move on, but Merlin… he’s still stuck on the day he held Arthur in his arms, unable to accept that he’s lost him forever.
His pain comes to an end when one day, unexpectedly, Arthur comes back from the waters of Avalon.
Trying to solve the mystery of this sudden return, Arthur and Merlin keep protecting the kingdom from the dangers that still threaten it, like the Saxons, whose new leader is ready to conquer the throne on Morgana’s name. It seems like nothing has changed, but everything has: the secret that Merlin was so afraid to reveal to Arthur ends up bringing them even closer to each other. In a Camelot where magic is no longer banned, in a new world where he can be by Arthur’s side without hiding who he is, Merlin finds himself living a dream with the fear of waking up, happy for Arthur’s return but also terrified by the idea of losing him again.
Now that secrets between them are over, Arthur finds out Merlin has done so much more than hide his magic: to protect him he's suffered, sacrificed everything, made difficult choices. He begins to know a side of Merlin that’s new to him, and yet, that somehow he’s always known… and loved. -

Summary
Arthur Pendragon is what the dictionary defines as the perfect Alpha, except for one small detail: he hates Omegas. He does not intend to mate with one. Merlin Emrys is an Omega, different from the others: he hates Alphas. He does not consider even remotely bending his existence to the will of the dominant race.
------
The imprinting works like "love at first sight". After it happens, nothing becomes more important than being with your partner, looking for him and wanting him almost obsessively.
It is like falling in love, but ten times faster. A belonging to each other, realizing they can turn themselves into everything the other needs: a protector, a brother, a friend or a lover.
No suppressors can work against it: the stronger chemistry between the species defeats the chemical industry. The desire becomes need, which in turn becomes domain.
If he saw Arthur again, he was almost certain, given the hormonal reaction of their bodies when they first met, that the imprinting was soon to follow and then the Bond.
The only thing Merlin didn’t want.
In no case...
