    Summary

    Navigating life events that turn his world upside down, including his ascension to the throne and a revelation that rocks him to his core, Arthur's ever-evolving relationship with Merlin becomes the most important of his life. No one ever said love was easy.

    “I would die before I hurt you,” Arthur said, his voice strangled. “I would kill anyone who ever tried to do you harm and it pains me to think that you could ever fear me.”

    “I don’t understand,” Merlin said breathlessly. “You’re the king, you – ”

    “I’m not standing here as a king, Merlin!” Arthur shouted, his voice breaking as he did so. “I’m standing here as a man, a man who believed he knew you completely, a man who thought you were the one constant in his life, a man who thought…who thought you were his,” he finished, horrified to feel tears pricking his eyes.

    Summary

    Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.

    Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.

    A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

    Summary

    You run, Reggie.
    You run, and you keep on running.

     

    It's the last thing Sirius said to him, before he disappeared. And Regulus is trying—he's trying so, so hard. But he can only run for so long before he collapses, half-dead and delirious with exhaustion, in the middle of god-knows-where.
    He wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar house, staring at an unfamiliar man—a man who, inexplicably, and for the first time in years, makes Regulus feel as though he might finally be safe.
