Summary
'Merlin, my friend. What –?'
'I need your help hiding a body.'
Every man in the antechamber froze, the silence thick and breathless. No one so much as moved as they all stared at the threshold, where the door stood ajar only a fraction, blocking them from view.
Yet it was Lancelot's reply, carried on the edge of a weary sigh, that made disbelief stutter in Arthur's chest.
'Again?'
******
A fragment of overheard conversation leads Arthur and his knights deep into the Darkling Woods, where the truth about Merlin's magic finally comes out.

Summary
Merlin has waited beside the lake for over 1,500 years, and when he finally gets a visitor, it's not Arthur Pendragon--but an eccentric English man who arrives in a blue telephone box, calls himself the Doctor, and claims that not only is time travel real, but it's absolutely imperative that Merlin go back in time with him--back to the age of Camelot where Prince Arthur is very much alive.

Summary
“I wouldn’t touch the Major Arcana.” Arthur startled, nearly dropping the cards. He whirled around to the voice. “They get twitchy.”
An ornamental crystal ball fell onto the floor behind him, shattering into millions of tiny pieces.
Behind him was a man, probably near Arthur’s age. He registered the wide, bright eyes, pale skin, and dark hair. Arthur hadn’t heard him approach. Where did he come from?
“The—” Arthur’s eyes jumped back to the magician card, “Major Arcana?”
That sounded sort of... magicky
“Yes, yes, they get so full of themselves.” The man’s lips twitched, and Arthur was inexplicably drawn to the hint of his grin.
Or, a lot can happen when you take cover under a random shop's awning. Mostly, Arthur just wants to figure out why 'The Magician' card is always his future.

Summary
Arthur asks Merlin to learn magic to see if it can be trusted in defeating Morgana.
"We want to ask someone to learn magic to see if it can be used without corrupting the soul of the person who uses it. Lancelot suggested you be the person we ask."
Merlin's lips parted a fraction, "He did?"
"Indeed. Something about your heart being pure." Arthur brushed the compliment off with a wave of his hand and straightened in his seat, "I know you're scared of magic so you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to but-"
"I'll do it."Now complete with added prologue and epilogue!

Summary
In the modern city of Camelot, the magical criminal Emrys’s calling card is found near the body of a murder victim. Merlin Wyllt, the man behind Emrys, has made a point of never hurting anyone during his criminal activities and is determined to find the real culprit and clear his alter ego’s name.
Opportunity falls into his lap when police detective Arthur Pendragon attempts to recruit him as a special expert on Camelot’s Magicside for the investigation. Apparently, Arthur also believes Emrys is being framed.
Of course, there is the issue that Arthur's father is the reason Merlin's father is in prison, falsely accused of murder.
And that Arthur is a prat, if a ridiculously handsome one.
But working with him seems a small price to pay for access to any information the police might have on the case. And Merlin knows Arthur is different from his father.
As the two men work together, they find themselves falling for each other. But can that work out, considering all that stands between them? And can they find the murderer before they kill again?
