Summary
'The damage seemed to spread out from him like ripples on a pond, and it felt like a gift, like a blessed reprieve to find something that affected only him. The hunger was the one choice he could make that hurt no one, endangered no one, nudged no prophecies with clumsy elbows. Besides, having a secret was nothing new. The revelation was having one that didn’t matter.'
Merlin doesn’t eat properly, but he doesn't think it's a problem. Arthur disagrees.
(Scenes on a theme, before, during and after Arthur finds out.)

Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
EXCERPT:
“What are you doing?” Merlin asked, sounding tired. “The war is over. Magic is no longer banned. Take your men and go home. Live your lives in peace.”
“There can be no peace so long as that castle stands!” the sorcerer yelled.
Merlin ignored him, addressing the three others by his side instead. “This isn’t what magic is for. You know it isn't. If you listen to people like him, you will be driven into the same darkness that forced me to end Morgana’s life. Is that really what you want?”
The three men glanced at each other.
Uncertain, Gwen thought.
The sorcerer in black let out a yell, and thrust his arm forward, a fireball flying from his hand.
Merlin barely spared it a glance.
------------
SUMMARY:
A year after Arthur's death, and magic is permitted once again in Camelot. But Uther's legacy lives long, and many want revenge for his crimes, now with magic at their disposal.
As Camelot stands faced with an army lead by four sorcerers, there is but one who can save them all -- if only he can be persuaded to leave his silent vigil, upon the shores of Avalon.
