Disclaimer: The show “Merlin” is property of the BBC. Legend of the Seeker is property of Terry Goodkind. This story was initially inspired by the 1996 film “Dragonheart” directed by Rob Cohen. “Once Upon A December” lyrics sung by Liz Callaway. Dialogue (slightly edited by me) taken from “Snow White: A Tale of Terror”, a movie based on the Grimm Brothers’ version of Snow White (Little Snow-White). Elements from variations of Arthurian legend have been blended together here. No money being made.
Summary: Prince Arthur was saved by the Great Dragon, Kilgharrah, forever linking his life to the magical creature, after a battle that killed King Uther left an eleven year old Arthur the King of Camelot. That's when he met the dragon's Keeper, the immortal Dragonlord, Merlin.
Merlin's entrance into a young Arthur's life resulted in more than the young King gaining a mentor. But Arthur's love for Merlin is left hopelessly unrequited and Arthur turns to Merlin's daughter, Morgana, as a friend, a lover... but Arthur never imagined that the child he had with Morgana would be an important piece of the puzzle to unraveling Merlin's secrets.
Centuries after Camelot, Arthur is reincarnated for the first time. On the eve of his remembering his former life as King of Camelot, Arthur finally learns the truth.
A story of love, tragedy, and acceptance.
~ Written for whizzbangpop. This fic is very much a Merlin/Legend of the Seeker fusion...but any Legend of the Seeker characters are AU! in a way as I incorporated them fully into the Merlin world. It's an AU!Camelot in the first place, so it's pretty much an AU on both sides. I also play around with the idea of Confessors here.
