A/S : (Modern AU) The Department is a government organisation specifically created to investigate and deal with magic and the supernatural.
Until four years ago, Merlin Emrys was one of its agents, until he gave away his biggest secret and had to run away from his friends and his life.
Until last night, Uther Pendragon was in charge of it, until someone killed him, very messily.
Until last night, Arthur Pendragon was its second in command, until someone framed him for his father's murder.
Now Arthur's going to the only person left in the world who can help him, and Merlin's going to find himself dragged back into a world he had thought was behind him.
Meanwhile, in the aftermath of Uther's death and Arthur's alleged betrayal, Agent Leon Harris is determined that he's going to find out the truth, no matter what.
I just finished reading this story and I feel like I'm coming out from a dream. Or a very good movie. Despite the "character death" reference on the warnings, this is only about minor characters, and very off-screen, so don't let that put you out. This story is absolutely wonderful. The characters, the universe, the plot... everything is great. This can be considered as almost free of anything sexual if not for the obviously induced Merlin/Arthur/Gwaine sex scene in chapter 6. Please join me in asking for it to come to life! Anyway, I can't recommand you this story enough. This is not the only of the kind, but, as some others I've already recced, it's unique in everything it is, and really worth a read.
