Part 1
Many many thanks of enormous proportions to my amazing friend and fantastic artist
candymacaron for all the
brilliant art for this story and endless support! Sending my gratitude also to my my ever-patient, lovely, precious
Daroh and
Marly for pre-reading and fixing errors. You complete me.
I wanted to write something fun with boys being lonely, horny and silly, involving Elvis, shotgun weddings, chases after magical artifacts, and James Bond-esque adventures. This is the result. Blame people mentioned above for this actually being written. The rest is totally my fault.

Summary: Merlin Emrys is used to living life on the go. As an agent for the Agency of Magic, Merlin’s days are consumed by travel, exotic locations, and battling a faceless rival -- an officer from the competing Bureau of Corrections, who is always hot on his heels and ready to one-up him.
When Merlin is sent on a mission to Las Vegas to secure a powerful artifact, he allows himself one night off. Just one, because he bloody deserves it. Drinks and foreplay lead to a bet with a hot financial advisor he just met. Merlin ends up as a newlywed. Oops.
