   Summary

   Merlin was a sincere little puzzle-box, and Arthur wanted nothing more than to take him apart, and perhaps even see how best to put him back together. He didn't realize that Merlin might be the key to his own heart.

   An anti-reveal/pre-reveal fic. There is also fun with an enchanted boar, pre-Round Table Knights, and more fallout from The Curse of Cornelius Sigan. Oh, and smut. Lots of smut.
