Beta Request for Merlin Fix-It / Time Travel Story
Title: The Once and Future King
Genre: Post Season 5, Time Travel, Fix It, Alternate Universe Canon
Rating: Explicit
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Word count: ~350k
Type of beta you'd like: I just need someone to read through the story and make it into good English.
I wrote the story in English and German and finished it in German first. Now I’m planning on translating it/writing it in English again. English is not my first language, but I’ve posted several stories in other fandoms already and even though my other beta readers tell me I’ve become quite good, I don’t want to post stories that have not been read by a native speaker first. The current plan is to translate one chapter each month and post it on AO3.
Short summary:
Arthur survives the battle of Camlann but discovers that Merlin is a sorcerer, when Merlin saves him and kills Morgana. Feeling angry and betrayed Arthur banishes Merlin from Camelot.
Five years later in a war-torn Albion, Arthur is finally ready to talk to Merlin and they realize that they can only fulfill the prophecy together, side by side.
The next morning they wake up in the past, in their young bodies.

„Someone or something has sent us back in time, right to the beginning, with all our memories,” Merlin says and it’s only now that it dawns him what that truly means. “Just imagine everything we could do, everything we could change for the better. We could make everything right this time.“
Arthur hesitates for a moment. „Can we change the future just like that?“
„I think we can”, Merlin answered with new confidence and hope in his voice.
