    Summary

    "How did you get them?" Vane asks, as Thomas drops the keys into his open palm. Behind him, he can see the distant glow of firelight, small but spreading, and he thinks he already knows the answer.

    Thomas smiles. "Kerosine."

    His hair falls into his eyes, white blonde from the Savannah sunlight, and for a moment he sees the ghost of Eleanor Guthrie at eighteen years old, baring her teeth in a grin.

    OR: There is no Woodes Rogers to save Eleanor Guthrie's life. There are no men to repair the fort. Charles Vane comes up with a new way to recruit workers to Nassau.

    Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
    Cover art by Lao-Pendragon

    ------

    For many long years Merlin waited.

    For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.

    Until one day, suddenly, it did.

    When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.

    Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

    Summary

    Merlin leads a relatively content life - or as content as is possible under the rule of a magic-hating King. When the arrogant son of said magic-hating King starts becoming a regular at his coffee shop, Merlin is a little puzzled. When said Prince prat then proceeds to ingest a love potion on Merlin's watch that results in him having to move into the Royal Palace as Prince Arthur's (fake) boyfriend, Merlin wonders which deity he has angered. Things only get more complicated from there.

    “Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?"
    “The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now."
    Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego.
    “You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely.
    “You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?”
    And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth?
    “Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”
