    Summary

    *Title from Unknown/Nth by Hozier*

    Merlin, born without a father, with more secrets than he knew what to do with.
    Arthur Pendragon, born without a mother, with a secret that could have him killed.

    When Merlin arrives in Camelot, he is terrified of anyone learning of his magic, but he also has a tendency to run head first into danger. The two traits don't offten get along. After saving the life of a Prince who may not have deserved it, Merlin's life becomes more than the secret he kept close to his chest. It became about destiny, one that he apparently had to achieve with a Prince who was terrified of his future.
