Summary
On the night that Arthur learns of Merlin’s magic, a witchfinder is brought to Camelot. Fearing for his life and his chances of escape from the castle, Merlin turns to his last option. To travel through Nimheu’s Mirror, an indestructible artefact left behind when Nimheu fled Camelot at the start of the purge, said to have taken sorcerers away from the fear of the pyre, never to be seen again. On the other side, Merlin does not quite find the safe haven he was expecting. He is back in Camelot. But not his Camelot. An older Camelot, a harsher Camelot, with an older and harsher King to rule her. He cannot go back, he can only go on. But how? And what will his own Camelot do without him?

Summary
Alone and isolated by his immortality, Merlin journeys once more to Camelot, to the site of an old story Gaius once told him. Beneath the castle, in a hidden crypt, it is said sorcerers once escaped Uther's purges - but how? And to where?
Merlin intends to find out.
But when he stumbles into another world, another Camelot, when he finds Arthur, alive but changed, he must do all he can to prove himself true. Even if it means his own undoing.

Summary
To that woman at the shop, Merlin is going home to someone who loves him. The Merlin in her mind might spend the night eating cheap Chinese takeaway with Arthur, arms curled around each others’ shoulders while they watch a film. Merlin surprises him with a special Assam blend. Arthur hops in the shower with him and runs his fingers through his hair. They fall asleep together, and Arthur makes him truly atrocious eggs on toast in the morning, and Merlin gets to be loved back.
Suddenly, Merlin wants to live in that world. He wants it so badly he feels sick.
(Or: Merlin tells his coworkers that Arthur is his boyfriend. Predictably, it backfires).

Summary
Merlin’s mother had made it very clear to him what he should do when she sent him off to Camelot. Merlin wasn’t to tell anyone he had magic, his mother was scared that he would be collared to keep him in line if someone found out. Yet, Camelot was, above all, one of the best places for an alpha warlock to be. In Essitir, the omega king would drag alphas off to his palace once they were old enough, claim them, and use them for their powers. It was a fate that Merlin’s mother had feared him facing since he presented at twelve summers old. It was why, on the eve of his eighteenth summer, she sent him away to the bordering kingdom before Cenred’s men could show up in Elador to take him away. In Camelot Merlin could have a future.
It was a more hopeful future than what he would have in any other kingdom.
Other than Essitir and Camelot, all other kingdoms executed alphas who had magic, mated or not, too afraid of what they could do. Camelot had done the same, once, but that had changed when the Queen had fallen for an alpha sorceress and had taken her as her mate, changing the law to allow mated magical alphas to live in peace.
All Merlin had to do was catch an omega....
... or let one catch him...

Summary
“Don’t you dare touch him,” Merlin growled, “Arthur Pendragon is mine.”
A tall, red-haired woman stepped forward, taking the lead of the group. She looked ethereal in the bright afternoon light. Her face was too perfect, too symmetrical to be completely human, and a strange glint shone in her green eyes. She was alluring, moving with controlled grace. When she spoke, her voice echoed, as if it came from all around them at once.
“You haven’t claimed him yet, not the proper way at least,” she retorted, her hungry gaze still trained on Arthur.
