Summary
A complete Hogwarts story of Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Ambrosius during the 1st wizarding war: 1971 and onward.
Summary: Arthur Pendragon is on top of the muggle world. He comes from wealth and political power, he's the top fencer in his class and as high in a social hierarchy as an eleven year old can climb. He is also a wizard, or so his letter says.
Merlin Ambrosius is a pure-blooded heir of one of the most renowned sacred 28 families. He's a descendent of the original Merlin. Penniless but powerful, Merlin is in his element at Hogwarts school.
Arthur most certainly is not.

Summary
The silhouette is backlit from the headlights on the Mini Cooper and he’s maybe hit his head harder than he thought because it almost looks like…
“Merlin?”
And Merlin feels as though his heart is exploding in his chest because that voice and his real name and as he looks up...the golden hair reflected in the light from the car.
Arthur Pendragon is standing, completely starkers, in the middle of the road leading up to Lake Avalon.

Summary
While clearing out Morgana’s old rooms, Merlin discovers a pair of unusual magical bracelets. Arthur wants to destroy them, of course, and so begins a quest that will take them over snowy mountains and through rain-soaked forests, dealing with Druids, bandits and inns of questionable repute. With the future of magic itself hanging in the balance and matters complicated by the changing nature of their relationship, Merlin discovers that destiny comes at a price.

Summary
Arthur’s treehouse was the same as Merlin remembered it, all of it was. Maybe a little smaller, but then everything was, now.
And then there was Arthur himself; and it wasn't so much that a lot had changed about him, not really, it was only that everything had lengthened and broadened and become more.
