Summary
Arthur, an all American boy fresh out of the Midwest, is thrust head-first into college life in San Francisco. He'd expected moving in with his girlfriend to be a change, but what Arthur hadn't counted on was the Merlin, the handsome fashion design student he'd be sharing their apartment with (and just how strongly he would feel about him).

Summary
When widower Arthur Pendragon finds out that his three children have conspired to help him find 'someone to kiss' by placing an ad on an internet dating site, he allows his guilt to push him into agreeing to go on a succession of dates even though he's determined that he's not lonely and doesn't believe in 'love'. However, someone does set his heart racing, but it's not one of the endless parade of beautiful women he has to choose from, it's the children's new babysitter, Merlin.

Summary
He reaches forward, careful but determined. Darkness gives him no guidance, but his King does instead. Arthur’s hands close gently over his. “Here,” he murmurs, guiding him. He leads Merlin’s fingers up, toward his shoulder. “The clasp.”
His fingertips brush leather, then metal, then the warm skin at Arthur’s throat. He feels the steady, living pulse beneath his touch.
His fingers slip once, then again. Merlin exhales a quiet, frustrated laugh. “I’ve done this a thousand times.”
“A million,” Arthur corrects, fond.
“And yet,” Merlin mutters, trying again.
In which Merlin is injured in a battle and loses his sight.

Summary
“Arthur,” Merlin says quietly, as if separated entirely from himself and also so terribly trapped inside his own body, “I need to show you something.”
Arthur glances up, eyelids drooping with exhaustion, and opens his mouth.
Merlin’s eyes glow gold. A golden butterfly manifests on his outstretched hand. It flaps its wings gently, fluttering through the space between them for a precious second before dissolving back into thin air.
Arthur no longer looks tired.
