Summary
Merlin is Arthur's lover, his manservant, his knight, the grain of sand that will make Camelot into a shining pearl. But the one thing he cannot be is a sorcerer. After Merlin confesses, Arthur is determined to find a way to remove Merlin's magic, to remove the corruption without killing him, and before it can destroy his soul. But magic can only be fought with magic. Without Merlin's powers, Camelot will be defenseless against the next magical attack. And that's not all Arthur has to worry about, because there are visitors to the court, alliances and enemies, and a princess he may have no choice but to marry. To set things right, Arthur will have to confront his father’s lies and embrace the magic he was raised to fear.
Gwen has kept her faith in secret even as she listened to Morgana's muttered nightmares and watched Merlin from afar. But when Morgana sees terrifying visions of Camelot’s destruction, the truth comes out for them both, bringing them together even as it tears them apart.
Through heartache and hard choices, all four of them must join forces to save Albion and its magic from the terrifying Sidhe and an equally terrifying Uther.

Summary
"What do they want? Why were they asking about Thorn and Bitter?" he demanded once she was close enough.
Jade gestured for him to lower his voice, and said, "Sunset Water are considering the possibility of an alliance with Indigo Cloud. It's a good sign," she added, ignoring his scowl. "It means we're beginning to be accepted here in the Reaches, if they consider us worthwhile allies."
"What kind of alliance, though?" Moon pressed, feeling uneasy.
"One of their daughter-queens had a clutch three turns ago, including two queens..."
She didn't need to finish the sentence - Moon suddenly understood with a sinking horror what they had been discussing. "You're going to send them away."

Summary
“Hong Yuan, Hong Yuexia. The Grandmaster of the JieJue Sect.”
“...oh.”
The news took Yan Hong by surprise, and no small amount of fear, for the world of cultivators and supernatural dangers which his family had left was now coming for them.
~`*'~
Yan Hong believed his royal husband Lí Chang, when Lí Chang claimed their marriage as reparation for a past life: when Lí Chang did many wrongs to Yan Hong and the late Emperor managed to execute everyone in a fit of imperial paranoia.
The only thing that he could not believe, was that the JieJue Sect's late Grandmaster would send Lí Chang back in time for free. Generations ago, this same Grandmaster tied the Yan ancestors to serve him, the spectre of service to a godly figure still hanging about, generations even after his death.
Fortunately, Lí Chang agreed with him.
Unfortunately, this ended up with Lí Chang having nightmares of war, practicing his weapons nightly, and spending all hours in the Imperial Library.
The red thread tightens. They hang, puppets to their fates against which they struggle.___

Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.
