Summary
All of Arthur’s dedication to being a perfect prince and a dutiful son has led him to an arranged engagement that comes with more than its fair share of danger. Grappling with the stress of the situation and questioning his place in his own life leaves Arthur desperate for a moment’s reprieve.
Constantly running into the foreign assassin that Cenred’s court brought along for the wedding is surely dangerous. But Arthur can’t help being drawn to Merlin’s sharp blue eyes and rebellious spirit.
They say that curiosity killed the cat. But satisfaction brought it back. Could choosing something for himself for the first time really be so risky?

Summary
The first time the change happened Merlin was only 10 summers old.
It had felt like he tripped, falling to his knees suddenly and without warning. He thought the pain of skinning them was the worst of it, and for a few moments that was true.
“Merlin?” Hunith called after him, “You okay, love?”
Merlin couldn’t even focus on the ground as his fingers shook against the dirt, “I don’t know, mum!” Pain crackled along his back, it had lanced up every individual bone and struck at the back of his skull.~~
Once a month Merlin is beset by a transformation. He can only describe is as monsterous.
His hopes for a cure are wearing thin, but still he does his best to keep his nature hidden as he naviagtes his life in Camelot at Arthur's side.
When the timing doesn't work, Merlin has to risk being discovered if he is to continue protecting his prince.Bookmarked by lecterisms

Summary
Arthur's biggest problem to date, Merlin thinks darkly as he carries yet another load of suspiciously not-really-dirty clothing down the stairs, is an unaccountable fear of anyone, anywhere, suspecting he's capable of being other than a complete and utter prat.
