    Summary

    EXCERPT:

    “What are you doing?” Merlin asked, sounding tired. “The war is over. Magic is no longer banned. Take your men and go home. Live your lives in peace.”

    “There can be no peace so long as that castle stands!” the sorcerer yelled.

    Merlin ignored him, addressing the three others by his side instead. “This isn’t what magic is for. You know it isn't. If you listen to people like him, you will be driven into the same darkness that forced me to end Morgana’s life. Is that really what you want?”

    The three men glanced at each other.

    Uncertain, Gwen thought.

    The sorcerer in black let out a yell, and thrust his arm forward, a fireball flying from his hand.

    Merlin barely spared it a glance.

    SUMMARY:

    A year after Arthur's death, and magic is permitted once again in Camelot. But Uther's legacy lives long, and many want revenge for his crimes, now with magic at their disposal.

    As Camelot stands faced with an army lead by four sorcerers, there is but one who can save them all -- if only he can be persuaded to leave his silent vigil, upon the shores of Avalon.

    Summary

    What could be make the winter holidays worse for Arthur than having to entertain the surly King Olaf and his still-entirely-love-smitten daughter Lady Vivian?

    Why, doing it during an outbreak of magical mistletoe all over Camelot castle, of course!

    Canon compliant (-ish), set between Series 4 and 5, full of lots of banter and general shenanigans.

     

    Thanks as always to my lovely beta reader BlueSimplicity.

    Summary

    "My lord. I know the hour is late."

    "It is very late," Thranduil agreed softly, "and the weather is foul, and the roads unsafe—all compelling reasons why you should not be standing before me now."

    Bard's smile did not falter, but Thranduil saw a twinge of something painful in his eyes. "If you wish me to leave, you need only say so."

    Summary

    It wasn't so strange that Thranduil would call him a friend. And yet the word seemed to draw them closer like a length of string, binding them together, yet still so fragile.

    [In which Thranduil and Bard begin writing each other letters over the long winter after the battle.]
