    Summary

    Merlin leads a relatively content life - or as content as is possible under the rule of a magic-hating King. When the arrogant son of said magic-hating King starts becoming a regular at his coffee shop, Merlin is a little puzzled. When said Prince prat then proceeds to ingest a love potion on Merlin's watch that results in him having to move into the Royal Palace as Prince Arthur's (fake) boyfriend, Merlin wonders which deity he has angered. Things only get more complicated from there.

    “Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?"
    “The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now."
    Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego.
    “You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely.
    “You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?”
    And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth?
    “Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”

    Summary

    MyKingdomComeUndone’s original summary:

    Destinies are troublesome things... Merlin has lived with the knowledge of his and Arthur’s shared destiny ever since he came to Camelot two years ago, but an attack during a routine patrol sets in motion a series of events that could make or break the prophesied golden age.

    Or, Merlin is hit with a curse that takes away his control over his magic, and the resulting revelations force Merlin and Arthur to face their past mistakes and to decide what exactly they want their future to look like.

    Exact Time: 5 hours, 40 minutes, and 15 seconds.
