    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


    "I think you are reckless," Kevin scoffs. "I think you shouldn’t be doing that in a public space. I think you could—" He bites his tongue just in time and just hard enough to hurt, though not draw blood. He’s already learnt several times over that telling Andrew he deserves better, deserves more than what he’s willing to give himself, brings the opposite effect. The harder Kevin insists Andrew should want something, the more set Andrew is on hurting himself for it.

    His slip-up, predictably, doesn’t go unnoticed as Andrew asks, "I could what, golden boy?"

    Kevin takes a leap of faith, powered by alcohol and a momentary loss of sanity from noticing how the blinking yellow lights overhead turn the colour of Andrew’s eyes liquid honey. "I think you could just ask me."

    "Look at you," Andrew drawls, shaking his head in mock disappointment. "They are yet to take the cast off, and we’ve already demoralized you."​

    or, Kevin makes Andrew an offer.

    Summary

    It is a beautiful evening the day they lay Jean Moreau to rest. It’s the exact kind of sunset that he loves—loved—more than any other, all pinks and oranges streaking across the southern California sky, painting the sea a wine dark purple and all of their faces a warm, glowing gold.

    Summary

    They give Andrew three days.

    Three days to decide if blood means anything.
    Three days to take in a kid who doesn’t speak, doesn’t eat, doesn’t look at people like they’re real.
    A kid with his name. A kid with his eyes.

    Aaron’s already unraveling. Nicky’s asking too many questions. Neil’s not saying anything at all.

    Andrew tells himself it’s not his problem.
    He’s said that before. About his brother. About his team. About everything.

    But the thing about lies is how fast they start to sound like truth.
    And the thing about August is he never asked to be here.
    He just is.

    Summary

    “I want to see him,” Andrew decides.

    “They won’t let you,” Wymack tells him.

    Andrew grits out, “They don’t get to decide that.”

    Wymack’s eyes never stop searching him. “They do.”

    Andrew can’t look at anything. He sounds awfully, condemningly and absolutely indifferent. “They don’t get to decide he’s dead.”

    “They did,” Wymack says.

    A hospital has never been so fucking quiet.

    Or Neil dies in Baltimore but doesn’t quite leave. This a look into the complexity of Andrew’s trauma, grief, and psychosis that manifests itself as the undying ghost of Neil Josten. Reality and sanity are fragile concepts that Andrew isn’t too concerned about anymore; not if it means never letting Neil go, again and again and again. He made a promise, after all.
