    Summary

    “Why didn’t you ever tell me?” Arthur asks. For a few seconds, the silence feels like it heralds the rolling thunder—an incoming storm, so destructive it will tear down the castle. Then Merlin grins, and it’s a soft, forlorn little thing, and the thunder never comes.

    “Sometimes,” he says, very, very quietly, in a way that Arthur didn’t know Merlin could sound like, “it turns out that fear is a little bit stronger than love.”

    Summary

    Under the guidance of the mysterious Lady of the Lake, Arthur spends the many years between his death and his revival in the realm of Avalon. There’s plenty of deals to make with the Sidhe, prophecies about magic to unravel, and mostly—there’s Merlin to watch, on the other side, always waiting for Arthur.

    A tale spanning centuries, as Arthur finally returns magic to Albion.

    Summary

    “Gorwin is my King,” Merlin says, golden eyes fixed flatly on Arthur. “And I work for him. That’s what it says.”

    “That’s what what says?” Arthur all but roars, wishing he had a sword just so that he could swing it at something. He needs to let all of this anger at something, anything, he’s just not sure at what and he doesn’t really care anymore.

    “The treaty you signed."

    Or:

    Arthur lends Merlin's aid as a sorcerer to an allied kingdom. He doesn't expect to find Merlin, two years later, in shackles, and only a mere echo of the person he used to be.

    Summary

    With a gasp, Arthur wakes.

    He wakes to the warmth of the blankets around him, the sight of the stars above and Merlin’s hand grasping his. He wakes surrounded; by softness, by love, by light. Gasping in breaths, he wakes holding tightly onto Merlin’s hand, tethering himself to the word through that strong, sure grip.

    He wakes and he’s not alone and everything's better.

    He settles back down, his breath not quite steady yet, but getting there. He holds on tight to Merlin’s hand, looks up at the stars and lets himself drift back off to sleep, safe in the knowledge that he’s free.

    ~~~

    Merlin and Arthur are held captive together for a month in the dark.

    Back in Camelot now, the two face all they went through with the help of one another, their friends, and the night sky.

    Summary

    “Well, we’ll just have to convince Arthur that’s not so bad, then,” Gwaine resolves. “I’m sure he can let you be a little magic, sometimes. On special occasions.”

    Or, Gwaine comes back from a mission to find Camelot in chaos. He's got to fix everything by himself, as usual.
