Catapult and When We're Gone by lolafeist ( PG13)
Hello,
duonoaikouka here driving the Merlin bus for the first time. Hopefully I've got some fun and fascinating choices you haven't read before. So strap in and enjoy the ride. :)
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin

Why this must be read:
This lovely duo of stories have so many layers, it's hard to find what to highlight first. Of course, there's the action/adventure of a war siege, the fantastic characterizations of a BAMF!Merlin and warrior king!Arthur, the h/c elements of a sick/injured Merlin and worried Arthur, and magic galore in the form of burning beasts and healing spells. And yet, there's a lesson to this pair of stories. The requirements and rules of power, the responsibility that goes with it, and the pain of lessons learned when that power is misused, even though unintentional make these fics thinker fics as well. Catapult and When We're Gone are fics to please everyone, whether you like h/c, powerful Merlin, thinking fics, or just some dang good Arthur/Merlin.
Catapult and sequel
