    Summary

    There was a lot Arthur loved about living in Boscastle with Merlin, but it was spoilt slightly by the fact that modern life was out to get him, and the people in the village kept looking at him very strangely indeed.

    As for his neighbour, Mrs Arbuthnot, he would probably be avoiding her entirely if her biscuits weren't so damn delicious...

    Summary

    Merlin had thought he'd escaped small-town life for good once he'd finally left for the big city. Of course, he hadn't thought that he might feel just as stuck there as he had at home.

    When he inherits his great-uncle's bookstore, he realises that turning it into the kind of community space he'd always dreamed of might just be the thing he needs to get his own writing -- his whole life, really -- back on track.

    Even if he has to move home, and put up with a posh, irritating city lawyer named Arthur Pendragon, to do it.

    Summary

    When Arthur was eight, Morgana Gorlois came to live in Camelot.

    When Arthur was ten, he met two princesses from nearby kingdoms: Mithian of Nemeth and Elena of Gawant.

    When Arthur was twenty, a cheeky peasant boy mouthed off to him.

    Everything was different after that.

    Summary

    “So…no Paris?” Arthur presses again after a beat.

    The idea’s absurd. Then again, so is his life recently.

    And anyway, it’s unfair because Arthur’s hands are at his waist and Merlin can feel the burn of Arthur’s stubble along his own chin and he’s pretty sure he can’t remember his own name let alone any one of the surely logical, sound, well thought out reasons he had for not going to the Olympics. In Paris. With Arthur.

    “Yeah, ok.”

    Summary

    The first time Merlin kisses Arthur, it’s not even a proper kiss.
    The second time, it’s so natural he doesn’t even think about it.
    The third time, Merlin ends up bloody.
    The fourth time, it's just a game.
    The fifth, they're both drunk.
    The sixth, Arthur desperately needs it.
    The seventh, he's sure they're in love.
