Summary
Commander Arthur Pendragon, a prisoner of an interplanetary war, doesn't know what drives him to take a bullet for Prince Merlin of Ealdor, his captor and Camlaan's sworn enemy. As a reward for his actions, Arthur is appointed Prince Merlin's manservant, much to both of their horror.
As the assassination attempts continue and Arthur begins to question if he ever believed in Camlaan's war, he's dragged deeper into Merlin's orbit, spiralling inexorably closer.

Summary
"Are you dying? Am I dying?" Merlin looks genuinely alarmed, eyes darting back and forth between the feast laid out on Arthur's dining table, to Arthur himself. Beside him, his fingers fidget, as though he's already trying to conjure up a spell to heal whatever ailment must surely have befallen Arthur to incline him towards such generosity. "Is Gwen dying? Morgana? Gaius? Lancelot or Gwaine or -?"
Arthur rolls his eyes. "No one is dying, Merlin," he says, before Merlin can hyperventilate his way through every person they have ever met. "I just thought I would do something nice for you, for a change."
"Oh." Merlin looks down at the table again. His brow creases. Then, prompting Arthur to once again wonder how on Earth he could have fallen so deeply in love with such an idiot, Merlin asks; "Why?"

Summary
Arthur cups the earthenware bowl in his hands and slurps the whole thing down with a speed that borders on desperation, all the while staring at the spoon disappearing inside Merlin’s mouth time and time again as he eats his own. It’s stupid, to be jealous of a spoon. Just like it’s stupid to freeze to death after only a few hours of riding in the wind-whipped rain. Just like it’s stupid to be in love with your servant boy you can’t marry even if you wanted to.

Summary
It was all laid out: Arthur would be an Alpha until the day he died. He would marry a noblewoman who wouldn't be able to scent the difference and would be far too proper and smart to spread gossip. Arthur would never reveal that he was an Omega, to anyone. He would never let anyone touch him too much, get close enough to scent him, never show the gold in his eyes. Never, never, never.
It was all going rather well until Merlin showed up.
