Summary
1500 years after the events of BBC’s Merlin, Arthur, Gwen, Morgana and the knights are reincarnated in the present day.
Arthur is now an aspiring musician, singer and songwriter. While at college, he meets Gwaine, Percival, Leon and Elyan. Strangely drawn to each other, they begin to pitch music ideas back and forth and together, they eventually form the rock band: “The Knights of Albion.” Not long after the band’s formation, recent PR graduate Morgana joins the team as the band’s publicist/manager.
A few years later, Arthur and his 'knights' secure a breakthrough: they are going to play as a supporting act at the world-famous Glastonbury music festival.
The night before the concert, Arthur begins to hallucinate.
~~
Note: This is an ArMor (Arthur x Morgana) story with brief Merthur (Merlin x Arthur) and eventual Merwaine (Merlin x Gwaine) and Arthelotmor (Arthur x Lancelot x Morgana) relationships.
An alternate plotline with Merthur as the main couple/ship exists, however, out of respect for the Merlin RPer it will not be uploaded.
ArMor is non-incestuous in the RP/story, due to both of them having reincarnated into different families.Series

Summary
After the battle of Camlann, a mortally wounded Arthur is found by Morgana before Merlin can reach him. Taken to her hovel, the High Priestess performs magic invoking the darkest of devils to bring her Champion back to her. What Lilith provides for Morgana, is a vampire stripped of his moral code, allowing them both to be bound together for eternity.
Warning: Incest features heavily in this verse. There’s lots of blood, explicit sex and sadism typical of demons. Not appropriate reading for minors.

Summary
Reaching at last the limits of his immortal life, Emrys is visited by a very old friend at Christmas. The Gods and Goddesses have decided to grant Merlin a blessing, in acknowledgment of his sacrifices and the actions of a blond royal. Prophecies will be fulfilled. The return of the Once & Future King on earth begins the endgame, with Merlin elevated into Avalon. In the heavens, the Final Revelations will unfold.
Note: This is a weird fic, based on a series of weird dreams the author has had over the last few months. It does feature references to major world religions, and the Prophets thereof (I'm in talks with Muslim and Jewish friends on how I best incorporate this while being respectful to the religion). Also there are and will be appearances of characters from other mythologies alongside the Arthurian legends as tagged. This is a huge sandpit I'm writing within for this work, however, at its core it is still a Merthur story, based on the relationship between Merlin and Arthur as portrayed in BBC's Merlin.
It is also an entry for the GREEN TEAM of Albion Party 2021, Week 4, Royalty.
