    Summary

    Who is stupider: the fool, or the one who would follow the fool wherever he asked him to go, even if that means abandoning plans to meet vassal lords, helping the fool get his blind ass to some godforsaken lake, saving him from drowning, fetching his sword from the bottom of a lakebed, potentially ruining future diplomatic relations with the druids, making an embarrassing display in front of several members of court, hiding the fool’s treasonous magical ability, and then nearly being torn apart by a freak tornado?

    The question itself is ludicrous, and Arthur refuses to think on it any further.

    Summary

    It was then that Merlin heard a laugh. Chills prickled down his spine, and his heart stopped. It actually stopped in his chest – or skipped a beat... or five – because he felt it stutter back to life and pound like charging horses at the sound, because he knew that laugh. He knew it like he knew the gentle squeeze of Gaius’s hand on his shoulder, the loving press of his mother’s lips to his brow, and the ever-present whisper of magic along his fingertips.

    When Arthur is killed during a run-of-the-mill bandit attack, Camelot fades beneath a permanent mire of spitting rain and fog. They call it: The Grey. Left behind, broken and bereft of his king, Merlin lives in a haze... until the day he awakens to find the sun inexplicably shining. As if it had never left at all.

    A tale of loss, supernatural meddling, time travel, hidden identities, crazy twists, and love.

    (Set after Season 4)
