    Summary

    Merlin slept for a week after bringing Arthur back from Camlann. Arthur worried Merlin had somehow imparted his own life force into him, draining himself, but Gaius assured him it was most likely just the level of magic Merlin had used that had exhausted him.

    Accounts from the area certainly seemed to confirm that story. People had seen a god, or so they said. When Arthur lifted the magic ban, it passed almost without resistance. Whatever Merlin had done, whatever he’d been, people had seen the divine, and known it was magic itself.

    When magic itself woke, he told Arthur never to do that to him again, and called him a variety of names for good measure.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Warning: extremely heavy on the angst and grief side of angst with a happy ending. Very well-written, just bring tissues and don’t read before a meeting.

    Summary

    It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.

    A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.

    Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.

    Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.

    And that’s just how it starts.

    Lovely, sweet, funny, long; just enough angst to properly balance the sweetness.

    Summary

    *******************

     

    “No.” He whispered fiercely. “I know how to release it from within Merlin's body. We will free him before it comes to that. It was just a dream.” It had to just be a dream. That couldn’t be their ending after everything.

     

    Morgana stared him in the eyes, her face hardening. Tears glistened on her cheeks, but she was deadly serious as she shook her head in defeat. “No, Arthur. If there is one thing you need to know about my visions, it’s that my dreams always, always come true.”

     

     

    ********************

     

    As only second in line for the throne, Arthur should have expected to one day be sent off to marry a princess far away. He hadn't expected it. Nor had he expected to be betrayed and imprisoned by an evil sorcerer along the way. Even less did he expect to meet someone there who would change his life forever.

    As for Merlin, he never thought there was anything other than this life. This prison. This ruin that was his magic. It only took one person to show him there was something more worth fighting for.

    But at what cost?

    Heartbreaking but beautiful. Evil Balinor, rather than evil Uther, and boy does he give Uther a run for his money on that.
