    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

    If Victor wasn’t tired of playing, neither was he. Whatever Vic was, Steph was, and whatever Vic wasn’t, Steph wasn’t. The light he submitted himself to and was lit up by would burn and sweeten him until he had no flesh to burn up or no blood left to sweeten.

    And there was always another basketball game.

    Summary

    Heaven wouldn’t hurt so bad, would it?

    “Well, it was the words of the Major that kept me going. Something he said at the very beginning, about how we’ll never be number one again if we don’t try. So I tried to be number one. And here I am before y’all.”

    Hell, then.

    Pete wished for Ray to live.

    Summary

    Sometimes the rain sounded like footsteps. Like waterlogged boots, or socks, splashing against the uneven road. Pete McVries refused to spare a glance behind him. What would he see? He'd already won.

    Pete McVries wanders alone after making his wish. He needs company, and it finds him.

    Maybe they're all just up the road, sitting down having a picnic.

    Summary

    When Ray tells the story, he'll tell it like this: he wakes up, he starts walking. He walks right back to Pete.

    Of course, it’s not that simple.
