Summary
Merlin, secret sorcerer, and not so secret Alpha makes a serious splash on his arrival in Camelot. Secret Omega Arthur now has to survive it.
Lots of tropes, I have no shame, and random additional characters when I felt like it. Some bits of canon but again only when I felt thus inclined; and I changed half of it. Maximum self indulgence included as standard.

Summary
With King Uther’s health rapidly deteriorating, Arthur Pendragon must do what all kings before him have done: go on a quest to prove himself the next worthy leader of Camelot. But when his quest leads him to a mysterious tower with a rumored dark past, Arthur begins to question the things he’s been told.
There are stories about what lurks in the tower outside of Gorra. Some say it is the wellspring of evil itself; the beating heart of all magic. Others claim to have glimpsed a twisted creature through its single dirty window. They say whatever lives there is cursed—trapped forever in a labyrinth of rooms, and if you go in, you don’t come out. Nobody ever comes out.
Arthur is sure they’re all old wives’ tales. The building is clearly abandoned, after all. But as Arthur delves further into the tower’s past, nothing is quite as it seems. Is this place truly home to a monster, or is there something else afoot? And who is the mysterious man who wanders its halls?
Inspired by art by count-pudding . A merthur-shaped mystery for BBC Merlin Reverse Big Bang.
