Summary: "The soul of man is immortal and imperishable" - PlatoWhen Merlin first arrives in Camelot, he is certain of the destiny that awaits him: Clearing the throne of the Pendragon dynasty to make way for the Once and Future King. Working with Nimueh and a rebel band of druids, he is sent to infiltrate Camelot, working from the inside to overthrow those that will challenge the rise of Albion. He didn't count on becoming the manservant of the crown prince--or, worst of all, liking him--and,slowly Merlin begins to wonder if the king he has been searching for is a lot closer than anyone believed.
Disclaimer: Disclaimer: Merlin belongs to Shine and BBC, We just took a moment to play with the characters for a bit ^.^
Author's notes: Written for the After Camlann Big Bang Challenge. Infinite thanks go to my artist, texasfandoodler for creating the amazing pieces of fanart before you, as well as for being a steadfast friend and cheerleader through the blood, sweat, tears, and coffee that went into this piece.
Artist's notes: First off, Thank you
aftercamlann mods for hosting this Big Bang for all of us. I had already been pre-matched twice when I decided to go ahead and claim a 3rd story during artist claims. Now, I’m soooooo glad I did. The story was wonderful and so art inspiring, and my writer was lovely and fun to work with. It’s always scary to step out and work with someone new, but she made it easy, and I’m so lucky to have been matched with her. She did such an amazing job with her story, and created a beautiful world. It gave me the chance to draw several things I haven’t done before. I want to thank D for the wonderful opportunity to work with her *hugs* and to also congratulate her on her first dip into the Merlin fandom. What an amazing feat it was for a first fic, I applaud you! I hope the Merlin fandom has more from you to enjoy in the future. *\o/* Also, I want to say thank you to the lovely
adsullatta for being my art beta and cheerleader, I couldn't have done it without you *hugs* ;)
