There is Merlin and then there is Emrys. The thing is that Merlin is Emrys and Emrys is Merlin. Just that Merlin is not Emrys...
When Merlin was about 5 years old he got lost on his way back to the orphanage after playing with his new found friend Will in the park. Somehow he ended up in the entrance to a forest, he wasn't allowed to but something pulled him in, called up to him. There he found a boy laying on the floor at the edge of death.
Then before he knew it the others boys soul entered his body and his soul was left roaming on earth without a body, ghost form or not it didn't count looking like you, but not being you; does that make sense? No matter it did to five heard old Merlin, and Oh God! He was flying!
The body thief he had come to know as Mordred was a coward, the most cowardly demon he had ever met. The ass stole HIS body and that depressed looking, soul sucking gaze was a coward. No matter he couldn't follow the guy all day he was trapped in a library, no really he could get out even if he wanted to.
So he and Emrys as Mordred had come to call his new body made a 12 year contract. Emrys would finish school, what Mordred never had the chance to do when he had been alive and once he turned seventeen, Mordred would go back to hell and Merlin could just return to his body get the hell out of the library (haunted library) as they have come to call it thanks to him and his urge to do something other than wait for years to pass by; so yeah he was a body less soul reading books and using computers at night until he and Emrys where seventeen and Mordred would leave.
In resume before today he had never had a body and practically knew nothing about where to go exactly or how to walk (don't judge he had forgotten how to support weight with his feet after years of flying.) other than following Mordred to school when he allowed him to get out of the library he didn't know how to interact with humans. He had seen how Emrys had acted and it had been...well horrible. He didn't even understand why Mordred had wanted to have a bullied body for 12 years...
At least Modred hadn't slacked of and had gotten Emrys into the best university there was in Camelot ; or in all of Albion if you wanted to brag about it, (but he was obviously smarter than him and could have gotten in there even if Mordred hadn't done the exam in fact he would had had a higher score, that had been one of the last thing they argused about before Mordred disappeared.) and agreed to take the curses Merlin had wanted to. And Merlin had been happy to go to a place where no-one knew Emrys, and he could just be Merlin.
But, apparently the world hated him and he was bound to be in the same university, same classes and same shared room ( even tough Leon was there to.) with Arthur Bloddy- Pendragon. The same guy that had used to bully Emrys 2 years ago before he moved away Apparently he had moved back again and this time he had brought the devil back with him.
And what the F***k will happen when Mordred suddenly appears with HIS (like Mordreds real) body...Things are suddenly more complex than Merlin would have liked them to be...
Pairing: M/A but if you like you can make some M/M but mainly M/A.
