The Amber Rose
The Amber Rose
Summary
An unknown magic-user in disguise is stirring up the people with his daring rescue bids - at great personal risk he is bringing people on dragonback out of Camelot to safety in Caerleon. Rumour has it that he leaves a calling card with a picture of a flower emblazoned upon it at the site of each rescue. The common people have started to call him “The Amber Rose”.
Inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel, by Baroness Orczy. The Pimpernel of course is the original, much imitated, hero in disguise; inspiration for Zorro, for Batman, and the immortal Hong Kong Phooey (number one super guy!).
The divergence from canon is blatant; characters and situations from several series are all mixed up to suit my purposes. Sorry if this jars.
Disclaimer: I'm doing this for love, not money.
The characters portrayed in this work of fiction are inspired by the BBC / Shine production "Merlin". I do not own the rights to these characters.
Completed work is on A03
Author's notes:
This work hasn't been Beta'ed -- I might go in and revise some sections at some point, but right now I am too excited about my current project, which is a fairly nutty-yet-angsty post-series-5 time-travel tea-shop fic. With macaroons. I know, I can't help myself.
Anyway, if you read The Amber Rose and like it, please drop me comments or kudos; if you don't like it, constructive criticism will make me a better writer. If you prefer to leave comments on my LJ, here's the place. Thank you :-D
Peace.
