Rating: M
Warnings: Dubcon
Word Count: 10,000
Summary: Powerful, handsome Allen Walker loves Kanda, but he knows that he can never claim him; beneath Allen's pretense of being a poet and maker of simple magic tricks lurks a truth he can never reveal: Allen is a mighty warrior and sorcerer with incredible powers, including the ability to change shape.*
Notes: AU, beta'd by .
Shadows of Camelot
Old Tiedoll stirred from his dozing, roused by some distant voice he felt rather than heard, like an echo of memory both ancient and new, felt in the blood with each beat of his heart.
Instinctively, he opened his eyes, at once calmed by the quiet, undisturbed conversations and child's playful laughter that bespoke no danger, and at the same time unable to ignore the sudden chill in the warm, spring air.
Though no sound was made, still he sensed the movement beside him as the boy, Kanda, stood suddenly.
"What is it, child?"
"Tis the fool Walker."
Allen Walker, fierce warrior, conjuror of poor sleight-of-hand tricks, and even worse jokes. At best, a terrible balladeer who could not carry a tune in a bucket. He was a contradiction unto himself. All was not what it seemed with Allen Walker.
This is a new paragraph. This is some italicized text in the paragraph. If you want to know what happens to Kanda next, you're shit out of luck, because I'm too lazy to transcribe the rest of Amazon's Look Inside! for the romance novel I ripped off to write this by changing the character names to DGM ones. The summary up there is a ripoff, too. And so on for 10,000 more words.

Good luck, everyone! I'm looking forward to seeing your submissions. If you have any questions, please comment.
