Summary
(Formerly titled "Sea-Salted Secrets")
An idea that formed from the fact that Merlin was lied to about his heritage. (A heritage that I have tweaked for the sake of this story - a self-indulgent merfolk AU)
.... .... .... ....
Suddenly the doors opened and a haggard-looking Gaius was dragged in next to Merlin and brought to his knees. He was in front of Merlin, though the warlock could still see his face from where he stood.
Gaius started chanting, his eyes glowing, Merlin felt sharp pain from where Gaius’ fingers met his skin; he cried out.
Uther had to put an arm out to keep Arthur in place as light erupted from where they’d been staring. Eyes were averted as the bright beam engulfed Merlin’s frame. When the light faded, Merlin hit the ground with a thud. -

Summary
Gaius finally looks at his ward. This boy. The ridiculous, reckless, heartache of a man miserably sitting before him wrapped in bandages.
“Merlin, I never want to do that again.” Gaius’ own voice shakes.

Summary
Merlin has never learnt to control his magic. It is completely guided by his emotions and that usually doesn't turn out well.
Arthur was chased out of Camelot as a young prince. His own sister killed their father and now he is just waiting for the right moment to reclaim his kingdom.
When Merlin and Arthur meet, a hope seems to take root in the world that all will be well.
Magical figures, dark magic, lies and betrayal make their experiences together anything but easy. But deep friendships, trust, loyalty and love bring them ever closer to their goal.
Will Merlin find the control he needs and can Arthur forget his past to open his heart?
