Author: Dante
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Word Count: 10K+
Warnings: Dark and possessive (obsessive) Arthur. The story turned out darker than I thought.
Spoilers: Season 4, episodes 1 and 2: The Darkest Hour.
Summary: To save Camelot, Arthur sacrifices himself and walks through the veil. But he is the Once and Future King and destiny is still waiting to be fulfilled. It is just not how Merlin thought it would be. But Merlin is okay--more than okay--with how things turn out.
Or, Arthur enters the veil and comes back a little different.
Author's Note: This was written for a prompt at
merlin_redux. I'll warn again that Arthur is pretty dark, very possessive and obsessive. The prompt requested Arthur to return from the veil (he went through instead of Lancelot) determined to make Merlin his. Read with caution and mind the warnings. Link at A03.
Why was he allowed to leave the castle in the first place!
