Triad by Riventhorn (PG13)

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin/Gawaine
Length: 5,706 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] riventhorn
Author Website: Masterlist on LJ
Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: A Mercian army marches on Camelot, but Arthur has forbidden Merlin from using his magic in the battle. Gwaine must try to comfort Merlin and find out exactly what Arthur thinks he is doing.

Can I really express how much I love Arthur in this fic? I don't think there are words enough. I love how the reason why he won't let Merlin rip away with his magic against the enemy isn't fully revealed until the end when he's having a discussion with both his partners. Different reasons are hinted at and the reader (at least this one did) definitely makes some guesses. But oh the real reason?! XD This king is so dang honorable, courageous, and just dang moral. Willing to take the hard road, no matter how hard it gets, to protect those he cares about from everything will just make you sigh and lady's ovaries explode. LOL

Then there's the fantastic triad of Arthur, Merlin, and Gawain. Each man with his own individual strengths and supports that he brings to the relationship, they together form a cohesive unit that is able to overcome pretty much anything, I would suspect. They do overcome suspicion, perceived betrayal, and misunderstanding and come through the other side stronger, even more in love for the trials. [livejournal.com profile] riventhorn's character voices sparkle with vitality and her emotions are crisp as the fall air outside. Everything in this story will make you love, love, love it!
