Summary
Merlin's eyes changed when he did magic. He knew that. In the privacy of his own head, Arthur had come to think of that golden gleam as beautiful since he'd discovered the secret of his sorcery. This was different. It crackled like lightning; a storm held in Merlin's gaze. It cast brief light upon his cheekbones, spilling odd shadows across his face.
'What's happening?'
'He is dying,' a woman's voice said, sugar-sweet. 'And he will take you with him, Arthur Pendragon.'

A routine hunt threatens to become a fatal disaster when Arthur and Merlin are captured and imprisoned in a dungeon used during the Purge. Can they fight their way to freedom, or will Merlin's power be the death of them?

Summary
Merlin and Arthur met as conservatory students -- Merlin studying cello, and Arthur drama. They went from snarky roommates to inseparable friends, despite their differences, and Merlin started to wonder why being with Arthur made him feel so different than with all his other friends. Unfortunately, when Arthur left for Hollywood, and Merlin's own career took off, they slowly lost touch. Now, Merlin is a world-famous virtuoso and Arthur comes back to London with some surprising news...and a lot of feelings.
Domestic schmoop, fluff, humor, snark-as-a-love-language, smut, and more ensue, and pretty much the whole gang shows up.
Title from famous cellist Jacqueline du Pré: "Playing lifts you out of yourself into a delirious place."
