Summary
He shouldn’t have done it.
Sleeping with his king — in the state Arthur was in that night.
The worst part is, he doesn’t even remember all of it.— Just enough.The kiss. Arthur’s mouth, warm against his own. The breathless moans pulled from his throat. The way it felt like he was drunk — but even without the potion that caused all of this, Merlin knew one touch from Arthur would make him feel like he'd spent two whole weeks drinking in the tavern.
And flashes of what came next.
Enough to know that this time, he truly fucked up.
So when he wakes, naked in his king’s bed, Merlin does the only thing he can — he grabs his clothes and runs.
He barely makes it to Gaius’s chambers, disheveled and panicked, only to find the old man already holding the book Merlin now realizes — far too late — he mistranslated.
And in that moment, it hits him. There is no undoing this.“Merlin,” Gaius says, voice low “pack your things. Go as far away as you can."
“You’re carrying His Majesty’s child.”Or
Arthur was being too much, and Merlin—a clumsy fool—mistranslated an ancient text and brewed a potion meant to calm His Majesty, only to end up pregnant with the king’s child instead.

Summary
Arthur was born of magic.
Merlin was born magic. Merlin was born because of Arthur. Merlin was born FOR Arthur. Everything he'd ever done and will do, was and will be for Arthur.
Always.
What happens when Arthur starts to appreciate Merlin and his efforts? What happens, when their emotions run wild and they won't be able to hold them back anymore? What happens when Merlin and Arthur finally give in to their desires and accept their true destiny: to be two sides of the same coin?

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.
