Summary
Henry Fox has moved to America to finish his last year of high school, with his little sister Beatrice and his Mum. He’s estranged from his best friend Percy, and his other best friend June Claremont-Diaz has just moved to Scotland for a semester abroad. Following the death of his father, Henry has truly never felt more alone.
Until an odd meeting in front of a koi fish pond; he meets Alex, the boy with the perfect smile and eyelashes. He’s perfect; after a seemingly brief kiss, they begin emailing, falling for each other. He’s everything Henry wants but can’t have.
Because he’s Alex Claremont-Diaz, as in, his best friend June’s little brother.
Henry quickly seals his love for Alex in a letter, along with the three others in the vintage Earl Grey tin hidden in his closet. He’s fine; he can forget Alex.
Until—the day all of his private love letters are mailed out. Can Henry’s love life get any more complicated?

Summary
“He cursed me. I’m coughing up flowers, Gaius—what other possible explanation is there?”
“Well, there is—”
“He was mad at me, it’s exactly something he would do. Infuriating, obnoxious, goddamned sorcerer that he is probably finds it funny to—”
It is said that the sins of the father should not be cast upon the son. Unfortunately, a father's miscalculated bargain can still come back to haunt you—Arthur is twenty-one, has a kingdom to rule, and apparently, a magically binding marriage contract with the Prince of Escetir. Prince Merlin, who has magic, a dragon, great dislike for Arthur, and still no intention to back out of the contract.
The worst part is, to a degree, Arthur understands—as a sorcerer, he wouldn't trust Uther Pendragon's son either. So he simply has to convince Merlin that he can be trusted, and the contract can be broken while they secure peace between Camelot and Escetir. It's a good plan.
Right up until forces conspire against both their kingdoms, more secrets come to light, and Arthur starts coughing up flowers.

Summary
“I’m glad you both see it that way,” Dr. Chen says. Then she closes her notebook and folds her hands on top of it. “I think I’m starting to get a sense of where the issues lie. The good news is that you’re both here, and you’re both willing to work on this relationship. That’s promising. Not all of the couples I see are even at that point.”
“Sorry, what?” Henry says, voicing Alex’s stuttering thoughts as well.
(After one too many fights at work, Henry and Alex are assigned mandatory reconciliation therapy by their boss. Except the therapist thinks they're there for couples therapy... and surely, a bet on who will break first makes more sense than actually correcting her, right?)

Born with a small, golden, dragon tattoo wrapped around his left ankle, there wasn’t much else for him to think. For what else could the dragon represent, if not himself?
So, Arthur decided he didn’t have a soulmate.

Summary
Sir Elis stared at him for a moment, and a panic rose in the back of Merlin’s throat at the mad grin that spread across his face.
He liked this.
Merlin was going to be sick.
Or
When Camelot receives a new knight, he’s not aware of the countless exceptions made for Merlin. He’s just another insolent servant in his eyes, and he immediately takes a strong disliking to him.
