Summary
It is the 57th annual Hunger Games, and Merlin Emrys stands at the Reaping ceremony with Guinevere Smith at his side, unable to hear the roar of the crowd over the ringing in his own ears. Because Merlin is about to face his best friend and twenty-two strangers in a fight to the death, where there can only be one victor.
In a twisted game where death seems the only certainty, Merlin will find himself tested in ways no one could have ever predicted - and may even find himself fighting for more than just his own life as he enters into an unlikely alliance with Arthur Pendragon, the Career tribute poised to win it all.
Merlin/Arthur AU, set in the Hunger Games universe.

Summary
Then, a realisation hits him, sudden and sharp, and Arthur freezes mid-motion. His breath catches in his throat as the pieces fall together. That’s what had rattled Merlin so deeply… It wasn’t the shock of becoming a servant to a prince or the brief jolt when their skin brushed near the birthmark. No, Merlin hadn’t flinched from a simple spark of static earlier…. It was the mark. This mark. Arthur’s birthmark. Merlin knows what it means.
On Merlin's first day as Arthur's servant, he discovers that Arthur has an unusual birthmark. Is his subsequent weird behaviour linked to superstition or something much deeper – something Arthur has yet to learn? And what is Arthur to do with this weird pull he feels towards Merlin?

Summary
Detective Arthur Pendragon doesn’t believe in ghosts – until one starts following him home. A routine investigation at a druid burial site leaves him accidentally engaged to Merlin, a very annoyed, very dead activist with unfinished business. Now, Arthur has two choices: ignore the bond and ensuing bad luck, or get very comfortable being haunted by his sarcastic, spectral fiancé.
(Murder investigations. Unwanted soul bonds. Questionable supernatural bureaucracy. Arthur’s having a terrible few weeks and Merlin is loving it.)
