Summary

Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
Gaius did not open the door, nor did Merlin. Instead, standing in its place with the door half open was a stranger. With one hand, he held the door in place, while his body, half-leaning against the frame, blocked the view inside the room. There were no sounds from inside the room, so even though he couldn't see, he could assume the stranger was alone.
The stranger who happened to be very shirtless.
Leon wasn't someone who was easy to shock to the point of being speechless, but the sight of the man in front of him was enough to do it. He tried to look away but couldn't stop looking at the man's chest. Heat crawled up his neck, he felt embarrassed to be so obviously affected by something so common, as if he were some dumb naive boy. The uniqueness of the situation was the worst, because he had never lost his cool so effortlessly like this before.
// or a merlin rewrite starting from season 3 and following through s4 & s5. Leon & Gwaine centric. Even if leowaine is the main pair, more kind of bonds and relationships will be explored.
