Summary
Merlin is thirteen and in love when he kisses Arthur for the first time. His skin is always too tight, there’s constantly the taste of chlorine in his mouth, and a lot of things—too many things—are left unsaid. It’s very complicated and very confusing, not helped at all by the fact that Arthur doesn't seem to know what he wants either. Early teenage awakenings, unrequited love, pining, coming of age, and feelings. Lots of feelings.

Summary
From the beginning, Arthur's unable to look away from Merlin, but there's just too much distance between them, too many moments stretched over too many years. But then there's music and hands, and the slow unfolding of time, until Arthur thinks it might not be so impossible to reach Merlin after all.

Summary
It’s 1953, and Arthur is a young, up-and-coming architect working on rebuilding London. All he wants is to be successful and live his life in peace and quiet. All his boss wants is to find a good match for his daughter Elena, and he thinks he’s found that match in Arthur. Arthur agrees to go out with her to get ahead at the firm, but the person he’s really interested in is her friend Merlin, and it turns out Elena has her own purposes for being with Arthur.

Summary
Sunlight stings Merlin's eyes, washes over Arthur. Golden head, pale muscled back-bottom-thighs, tan calves, the flashing pink soles of his feet – Arthur stings Merlin's eyes. He's the stark, impossible answer to questions asked earlier.
"Who's the prettiest, do you reckon? Anyone you fancy?"
