extra scene
It’s the Little Ice Age. OR. The Great Winter, when the Pendragon’s are forced to bed down for a month under furs until the weather is warm again. Arthur’s only seen the Great Winter in babyhood. Now, he must find a proper Royal Bedwarmer to share his Winter’s rest with.
Merlin goes to a brothel to get rid of that virginity thing and runs into Arthur. From there on, it’s all madness.
After the disastrous end of his betrothal to Gwen and the regret of his offer to Princess Mithian, Arthur swears off finding a wife until he's ready to wed. When Merlin offers himself to Arthur as bedmate, Arthur suggests they hand-fast in secret for a single year of mutual pleasure without obligation. As their year together unfolds, and secrets and betrayals unravel around them, Arthur and Merlin learn there is no such thing as uncomplicated pleasure. Everything they thought they knew can change in the span of a single year.
sequel: Para Bellum
After saving Arthur from Morgause in a very public display of magic, Merlin must flee into the forest to avoid Uther's men. Living apart from civilization, Merlin loses his mind to the wild magic that teaches him how to survive on his own. A year later, rumours of a magical wild man finally reach Camelot. Arthur convinces his father to let him lead the small troop of knights responsible for hunting down and killing Merlin. Torn between his duty to Camelot and his feelings for Merlin, Arthur must somehow draw Merlin back from the wild magic. However, he must hurry, for Morgana has seen Merlin's hiding place in her visions, and she and Morgause are eager to seek revenge.
Arthur had had it all figured out. And then Merlin shot him in Beijing.
Following a rather different ending to 2.10 (“Sweet Dreams”), Merlin and Arthur head to Olaf’s kingdom of Valden to put things right. In the process, Merlin racks up an impressive series of treasonous crimes: insolence, incompetence, tripping while running for his life, and accusing the crown prince of snoring are only the beginning.
Summary: Pre-series, Arthur goes into a fairy hill.
