    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

    Greg Lestrade is, probably, an alcoholic. His wife is cheating on him, his life is falling apart around him, and Mycroft Holmes is complicating matters considerably. After a case lands on his desk that turns out to not be his case after all, Greg finds himself pulled back into the orbit of a man he once did something costly for, something neither of them have ever addressed and something Greg had spent a long time trying not to examine too closely. He's not sure what's worse: the twelve years of silence, or the growing suspicion that Mycroft's been as aware of it as he has.
