Fic: Of Recoil and Grace; everyone; PG-13 (3/4)
Part One | Part Two
( While he and many of the other knights had been quick to accept magic as a tool not only of evil, Leon still had difficulty recognizing strength beneath the often somewhat scrawny exteriors of the magic users who now resided in Camelot. It was little shock that many of the knights looked at Heric when battle times came; Merlin glanced wryly at the well-muscled magician, presently fawning over the stem of a wilting rose, eyes flashing gold above large lips mumbling. )
