Prompt: Awesome Merlin/Arthur fic that brings in aspects of Arthurian legend. From PG-13 to NC-17, or fluff to full-blown angst, anything is good! for feyuca .
feyuca - I apologise for this being so late. I really hope you like it! When I read 'Arthurian legend', my mind immediately latched onto Excalibur. I hope this is what you were looking for, or at least that it works for you ^_^ The fic refused to be written any other way! Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this - dk323 who gave this a look over early on and gave me a much needed confidence boost to keep working ^_^ nyxelestia for the hand-holding, the de-meladramfication of the first scene, the reminders that the enter key is my best friend, and for being awesome. And of course, sparkysluvchild who not only used her Awesome Beta Skillz, but also put up with me XD I love you all!
