Summary
Arthur is the Prince of Wales and the heir to the British throne. Merlin... well, Merlin is the son of a Welsh chef. Thrown together by luck, or perhaps fate, they grow up in Buckingham Palace and become close friends, despite their differences.
As an Alpha, royal duty calls for Prince Arthur to marry well and produce an heir with an Omega, once he has finished university and his military service. Merlin is left heartbroken at the thought, with a huge secret of his own - one that could see him forbidden from being with Arthur ever again.
Set over twenty-five years, this is the tale of Merlin Emrys and HRH Prince Arthur Pendragon, bound together by destiny, love, and just a little bit of magic.

Summary
A group of Camelot knights stop by Ealdor on their way to meet with King Cenred and Merlin can't help but notice one of them in particular - not difficult as he seems to notice Merlin too. His magic certainly seems to have some opinions about it.
But he's only passing through, so best forget it and move on, right?

Summary
'Be out of the city of Camelot by sunrise, or so help me, you will burn.'
------
When Merlin confesses the truth of his magic to Arthur, he finds himself exiled from Camelot. He intends never to return to Arthur's side, but destiny is not so easily defeated. Can he and Arthur heal the rift that has yawned between them, or will they both suffer the consequences of destiny's displeasure?
(AKA: Merlin and Arthur get shoved into the magical equivalent of a "getting along" shirt because they're idiots.)
