    Summary

    In the 21st century, Merlin Emrys is recovering from his stressful job as a paramedic at his father’s veterinary clinic in Wales. While undertaking a hike of the surrounding area, he stumbles upon a mysterious stone circle that seems to call to him...

    In the sixth century, King Arthur Pendragon finds a young, confused man in the woods. Even though the stranger doesn’t speak Britonnic, he immediately makes it clear that he thinks Arthur and his knights are a bunch of prats…

    Displaced in time and burdened with an unexpected new gift, Merlin needs to find his way back home. Meanwhile, Arthur is facing tough decisions of his own, as he too has to choose the path he’s going to follow.

    Summary

    Merlin leads a relatively content life - or as content as is possible under the rule of a magic-hating King. When the arrogant son of said magic-hating King starts becoming a regular at his coffee shop, Merlin is a little puzzled. When said Prince prat then proceeds to ingest a love potion on Merlin's watch that results in him having to move into the Royal Palace as Prince Arthur's (fake) boyfriend, Merlin wonders which deity he has angered. Things only get more complicated from there.

    “Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?"
    “The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now."
    Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego.
    “You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely.
    “You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?”
    And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth?
    “Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”

    Summary

    “Are you okay?”

    “No,” you faintly reply, words muffled from speaking into his chest, “but I’m pretty good at faking it, so let’s just go with that.”

    Something that might have been a snort of modulated laughter eclipses the roaring in your ears.

    “It’s my fault. Shouldn’t have pulled you up so fast.”

    Buddy, there are so many ‘shouldn’ts’ going on right now that you shouldn’t even try to count.

    The beskar’s reassuring solidity against your brow helps slow the spinning in your head, and you shift to rest your cheek on its cool, glassy surface. Ordinarily you wouldn’t dream of invading someone's space, but between the asthma attack, the nosebleed, and this science fiction clusterfuck, any semblance of sanity was long gone.

    The realization his posture has gone rigid, and you’ve all but tucked your head under his chin rapidly clears the cobwebs, however. You twist out of his grip, blurting out an apology as you hastily step back to a safe arm’s length away. Of all the strangers in the galaxy to cuddle up to, you pick a Mandalorian?

     

    An over-educated, underpaid millennial finally gets to go on her first adventure.

    Who knew that agreeing to babysit a bounty hunter’s weird, green little child would be so full of surprises.
