Summary: (Dinotopia AU) The morning had started off innocently enough, then the warning bells start chiming and suddenly Uther’s mortally wounded, Morgana’s missing, and Arthur (read: Merlin) has the survival of the entire island on his shoulders.
A desperate attempt to save Uther's life finds Arthur and Merlin braving the Great Desert for a sorcerer who brings to light a hidden war on magic and when the two return home, it's to discover that the attack on Uther and Morgana's kidnapping were only the tip of the iceberg: there's a force that wants to reunite the tiny island with the outside world but that in itself may lead to the island's downfall.
Author's notes: AN: Thank you so much to my lovely, beta Britt, who had to put up with 3am texts complaining about everything even vaguely related to this fic. To my wonderful cheerleader,
kitty_fic and my fabulous artist
suchaprince who are absolutely extraordinary and had to put up with me going MIA for nearly the entire summer. And thanks also to
the_muppet who ran this big bang flawlessly. It's been a crazy summer and working on this silly fic might be one of the only things that got me through in one piece. I don't know how that's affected the fic but hopefully you enjoy it regardless!
Artist's notes: See Artist post.
