    Summary

    'Magic will love you,' she whispered, pressing both palms to where Arthur lay curled inside her, almost ready, but not quite. 'With all its heart and of its own free mind, magic will love you, and you will love it in turn.'

    When Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic on a hunting trip gone wrong, it feels as if his world has been turned upside down. Yet a mother's love is a powerful thing, and her blessing even more so. Will Ygraine's little gift be enough to help him see that he truly cannot hate half of that which makes him whole?

    (AKA the one with the giant boar.)

    Summary

    “Elena put you up to this, didn’t she?”
    Spots of colour appeared on Leon’s cheeks, and he grimaced as he brandished his mobile. “It was this, or set you up on a date with her elderly cousin Grunhilda.”
    “Give me the mobile, Leon. I’ll make an account.”

    ***


    Arthur is tired of people only wanting to date him for his money. After his latest break-up, about which he isn't very broken up at all, he decides dating just isn't for him. But his best friends at least want him to talk to other humans outside the office, and they get him into a fandom space on Discord.

    Sometimes what you don't even know you're looking for ends up right in front of you.

    Summary

    After centuries of waiting for Arthur’s return, and the ancient king showing no sign of resurrecting anytime soon, Merlin decides to turn himself into a stone statue and wait out the remaining years in a semi-conscious state. He places a charm upon himself, making it so that he will change back once Arthur returns and finds him. A plaque on the statue’s plinth reads as much: “Whoever holds dominion over this soul of stone / Need only touch it to turn it to flesh and bone.” It becomes something of a must-try in the city, and despite thousands of people interacting with the statue every year, no one succeeds in turning him back into a human. That is, until one day…
