Needlework, by zarathuse (NC-17)
Title: Needlework
Fandom: Merlin (BBC)
Pairing: Arthur Pendragon/Merlin Emrys
Categories: Supernatural, Drama, Romance
Length: Long (~19,000 words)
Warnings: Major character death (don’t worry, they get better)
Author on LJ: zarathuse
Website: Fic on Delicious
Summary: It isn’t wise to tamper with the natural order of things, as Merlin finds out when he resurrects Arthur after he's killed by bandits.
Review:
This is a fascinating read, from the darkly vivid imagery to Merlin’s relationship with his otherworldly father. The story weaves folklore and the show canon to create a rich tapestry of life and death and magic, that I think is well worth your time, even if you don't know the canon.
