Author Website: fanfic by astolat
Why this must be read:
It's hard to believe this story isn't longer. It packs all the action and emotional impact of a much longer story. There are about a dozen moments that leap off the page with enough emotional resonance and visual clarity that if the story weren't so unforgettable, you'd get confused a few weeks later and remember it as an actual filmed episode and not a fanfic. I really cannot recommend this one highly enough on both the strength of its writing and the beautiful way it captures the depth of Arthur and Merlin's love for and commitment to one another.
Note: This story has two prequels which are available on the author's website as well.
