![]() ![]() Two people fighting for a better reality and discovering each other. There's dark themes yet the spirit of the show also comes through. ![]() I expected more of the madness in the blurb but there is no shortage of plot, a lot is happening though as with any well written fic it's the characters that carry it. While Merlin starts the story as a slave his derogation is never gratuitous, barely on page and not at Arthur's hand. The characters are strongly portrayed, faceted and interesting. It's a re-read for me, yet beyond familiarity at the beginning I didn't remember the story and had the added fun of a BR and seeing comments by those just discovering the delights of Merlin. This story is very well done, and book length, and free! Royalty, Sourcery, Magic and Dragons, when well done they're stories of wonder, noble knights and legendary love. I tend to stick to the modern AU Merlins but this one is worth a trip through the veils of myths into history. BR with Pack led astray by promise of magic - Maygirl, Meags, Otila, R, Rosa, Jen ![]()
