A Tale of a Prince, Four Cloaks, a Dragon, and a Sorcerer
Rating: Gen
Word Count: 4,327
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Spoilers/Warnings: Attempted non-consensual parent/child incest
Author's Note: This is a re-telling of the French fairy tale Peau d'Âne by Charles Perrault. In the original, a King, after he lost his wife to death, seeks to marry his own daughter. Naturally I had to turn it into a Merlin AU.
Summary:
It was not long after the prince’s eighteenth birthday that the king found that his sorrow had lifted, and that, for the first time, he felt light and happy - almost joyful. Since the day his wife had passed, the king, for the first time, thought that he might want to marry again.
