There are no spoilers for 4.13 - I wrote this before the episode aired and only took information from the trailer at the end of 4.12. So it’s very AU!

Rating: R just to be safe [for violence]
Warnings: Torture, character death (not Arthur or Merlin), battle-type violence, restraint (shackles).
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Length: ~5000

Yay! Why couldn't the episode have gone more like this? This was perfect! Lovely reveal fic, and I love that you brought Aithusa into it. It was sweet and I loved the ending, Merlin and Arthur together because that's how it's meant to be. Thanks for this! Happy Holidays! :-)

Thank you so much! I feel that there's so much to do with Aithusa and, as with a lot of things, he's criminally underused!

I hope you had a good holiday and a happy new year!

Oh lord, this was so much better than the episode!!! I loved everything about it! Btw, that idea with sending Morgana to the lady of the lake - that is a great one! ;)

And as the sun rose across Camelot, Arthur met Merlin halfway, kissing him softly and pulling him close. Together, the dawn seemed to whisper, they would do this together.

^That was beautiful and I'd pay to see it. :') not just all those Arwen kisses, grr

Happy Holidays!

Thank you very much! I'd love to see some regret and redemption for Morgana, however small, so that she moves out of your typical villain category.

(wouldn't we all pay to see Merlin and Arthur kiss!?)

Thank you! I hope the reveal, when it happens, really delves into how much Arthur and Merlin mean to each other. I really think they can pull past it with time and understanding and I hope we can get to a point where we see it on the show. It would be lovely to see them without the magic a secret between them!

Loved the reveal and how you brought the little dragon into it. I loved how it ended. Great job.

Thank you so much!

Beautiful job with this story! I like how you included Aithusa in this story and how he ended up saving everyone. :) Love how the reveal unfolded between Merlin and Arthur. I like that Merlin still wants to help Morgana by leaving her to Freya's guidance. Nice to have some hope of a happy ending for Morgana. I enjoyed reading this. ♥

Thank you! Morgana has so much potential when you consider the legends so I hope some of that is explored in the show!
