Summary
Arthur Pendragon walked through history with fire trailing in his wake. That was the hand that had carved Bayard of Mercia open and left him to die for six days pinned upon his desecrated throne. Those were the eyes that had looked down from the peaks of Mount Wyddfa and seen nothing below him that he could not conquer. The songs called him siegebreaker, earthshaker, battle-ender. Arthur Pendragon, deified and awful, protected by some great work of magic forged at his birth. Arthur Pendragon, whom no weapon forged by man could kill.
He had a nice smile. That was the first thing that struck Merlin. All the songs called him handsome, and Merlin could attest to their truth - those ice-blue eyes, that golden hair, that face carved as if from marble. He’d been prepared for that beauty, steeled against it. But he had not been prepared for that smile. It was an amused look, yes, but not coldly distant. It welcomed. It invited shared laughter, understanding, perhaps even the promise of brotherhood. For a second, Merlin could understand why so many men would follow the prince to their deaths.

Summary
Camlann is over, but the cost of survival is only beginning to surface.
In the uneasy calm after the war, Arthur tries to rebuild a kingdom while Merlin carries the weight of what it took to keep him alive. Magic is no longer a secret, peace is fragile, and something between Arthur and Merlin has shifted in ways neither of them fully understands.
Glances linger too long. Touches feel too charged. Old boundaries refuse to hold.
And beneath Merlin’s skin, something ancient has begun to stir—something fierce, possessive, and far older than the kingdom they are trying to rebuild.
This is a story about aftermath and wanting, about love that grows in the ruins of war, and about the terrible truth that sometimes you would give anything for the one you love—only to discover that some prices do not stop at sacrifice.

Summary
Arthur gives Merlin a knife,
Merlin takes up carpentry.
The fates recast the dice,
Camelot becomes anarchy.𖥸
“Girl.” He near enough whispered taking the back of Merlin’s wrist into his palm and drawing it up to meet his face. He inhaled, still with no exact location of the smell. Moving up Merlin’s arm across his face as the other looked on dumbly.
Reaching the pit of his elbow Arthur stilled, there is was, the fragrance laid upon Merlin’s inner forearm.
He pulled it gently closer, wanting a deeper inhale before confirming and reporting back to the other. He was indeed correct.The trouble was Arthur had regrettably misjudged the space between his own face and Merlin’s skin. Causing his slightly parted lips to brush ever so gently across Merlin’s forearm. Sending a jolt through both men at the feeling. Neither acknowledged the graze but they were effected by it nonetheless. Arthur’s heart rate sped as Merlin’s stopped completely. Four sets of blue eyes widened.
They were both too stubborn to speak. Meaning they sat in purgatory for quite some time, feeling neither comfortable nor uncomfortable. Something strange shifting inside of them as the sun began to set over Camelot.
