    Summary

    Camelot was burning.

    Sonic swore under his breath, Galahad squirming in one arm as Lancelot's hand dragged Sonic by the other. "Lance, I've got to go back...”

    "Si-Love." The dark knight, apparently unslowed by the arrow still protruding from his chest, spun around with a dark look in his eye. "For once in your life, love. Do as I tell you."

    Sonic skidded to a halt, looking back over his shoulder. "My people. Our comrades. We've left everyone!"

    "Yes, my love. It is...rather too late. We must live to fight another day." Lancelot's tone was matter-of-fact, even resigned. His expression was anything but. "I pray, please, live. Save our son."
    ***
    Sonic stayed a little longer than 3 years in this AU, but once he's forced to go home, will his friends and family recognize him?

    Summary

    When the attempt at healing Uther backfires and kills him instead—thereby reinforcing Arthur’s hatred of magic—Merlin decides that the time has come to give up on destiny and leave Camelot before he can make things even worse. After giving up his magic so that it might guard the citadel in his absence, he sets out for Ealdor for some much-needed rest. He is pleasantly surprised when Gwaine rides out after him to escort him on the journey. The question is why

    Summary

    How Percival missed the lurking of grief in swimming blue eyes, he would have to leave for another day, unless the guilt wrapped around him tight and suffocated the life from him.

    i.e Do I even have to say I'm still going through a lot or do y'all get it by now?

    Also probs important that you read the first 2 of this series otherwise I think you would be really confused

    Summary

    It was the ultimate test of patience not to run to Merlin immediately after his outburst. A challenge twisted with guilt and grief and pain. But one that Gwen saw to keeping up. From her and everyone that had been there. Obvious as it was that he needed it after all he revealed.

    i.e. Author is still going through stuff and had inspiration hit them in the face with a few lovely comments so now they are making this into a series.

    Also, Gwen is going to get Merlin drunk so he can process things instead of keeping it all to himself.

    I think you have to read the first in the series to understand this one but if you want to take that challenge up go ahead.

    Summary

    The funeral was a solemn event. Everyone quiet and watching the flames lick at a red cape and a gilded sword, enwrapping all that was left from Lancelot in bright light and heated warmth.

    And well, Merlin hated it.

    i.e. Author is dealing with some stuff through the use of fictional characters and is taking you all along for the awful clown car of a ride.

    Summary

    Gwen didn’t think she could cry this much. She could still get out of bed after her father died. She could still eat without tears spilling into her food every meal.

    ---

    I'm giving Lancelot the funeral he deserved.

    Summary

    Merlin goes with Arthur and the knights on a quest to retrieve the Amulet of Truth from the ancient 'Truth Keepers' in Essetir before Morgana can get her hands on it - but Merlin is convinced this is a trap set by Agravaine and Morgana.
    Of course, he must be proven right, and when they are cornered and out of options, Merlin is forced to reveal his magic before he and a wounded Arthur are separated from the rest of the knights.
    Alone in hostile lands, and with Arthur unsure of his own feelings towards his manservant-turned-sorcerer, they must find the Truth Keepers and destroy the amulet - or perhaps, make use of its powers?

    The journey is not simple - either way - and Merlin and Arthur must find a way forwards, a way home, and a way back to each other.

    Summary

    “Are you really Lancelot? The deceased knight of the Round Table, defender of Camelot? The griffin killer?”

    Mordred has always been interested in the stories of Camelot and her knights. Morgana, half pleased, half annoyed, once called him a zealot for his enthusiasm. He'd told her he needed to know the enemy, to which she had replied the only thing he needed to know was that on a sword's blade, they would bleed and die like any other man.

    Summary

    “It’s nice to see you again, Gwaine.”
    Gwaine let go and didn’t say anything else as he watched him leave. He had wanted to congratulate the man or invite him for a celebratory drink but the second he saw that look he felt a chill. It wasn’t right.

    Summary

    Merlin hated parties. He, decidedly, detested them, and not just because things always seemed to go wrong at them. But, come on, was it too much to ask for one party to go by without him being poisoned or having to stop an attempt on Arthur's life?

    Summary

    Lancelot’s eyes fluttered open. In that instant, Merlin knew the true Lancelot was back, and his chest ached. A laugh trembled past Merlin’s lips, tears already racing to fall. Morgana was cruel to ensure Merlin would grieve for Lancelot twice, yet underneath all the rage Merlin felt towards her, it hurt as much as it warmed him to see Lancelot once more. To see that smile grace the knight’s face.

    To have a body to burn, even if there would be no other witnesses.

    ~~~

    Another life begins, and Merlin finds everyone again.
