Why this must be read:
Astolat has written some outstanding stories in many fandoms, but I love this one in particular for the satisfying plot as well as the use of magic (magical combat!), sound characterization (both canon characters and OCs), and world building (Elven Court politics!).

Oh man, this really is one of the best Merlin stories I've read. I add my voice to this rec. Merlin fans, read this!

I know!I was surprised to see it hadn't been rec'd. Of the Merlin stories Astolat has written, this is my favorite.
