Rating: PG-13

Once Merlin is eighteen, his world collapses after an emotional loss and an unexpected sacrifice.
When he goes to Camelot with King Lot, Merlin meets Arthur and finds that happiness can still be found in life amidst the tragedy.
Content notes/warnings (if any): violence (not graphic), slavery, character death (neither Merlin nor Arthur), grief-caused eating disorder, incest (goes as far as kissing)

Disclaimer: This story/artwork is based on characters and situations created and owned by the BBC and Shine TV. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.
Author's/Artist's/Vidder's notes (if any): There is no magic ban in this AU version of Camelot. Ygraine dies in childbirth, but magic isn’t the reason why. Therefore, the Great Purge doesn’t happen.
