    Summary

    The music school AU no-one knew they needed till now!

    Éowyn Earl is the star horn player in her year, simultaneously wrestling with the demons of her past, struggling with her current crush on violinist Aragorn Walker, and wondering what to do about the hideous professor Wykeham King who is making everyone’s lives miserable. Meanwhile, in the background, gradually coming into focus, is a very talented pianist, one Faramir Hurin.

    A journey through healing, redemption, friendship - and a bit of revenge. Plus a very slow burn relationship. And a love-letter to my favourite orchestral instrument.

    Inspired by ElrondScribe's brilliant Silmarillion music school AU.

    No resemblance to any actual musicians intended, considerable liberties with my representation of the RNCM. Indeterminate time-frame: a bit like the Manchester of my teens (and its often unfortunate social attitudes); in other respects more up-to-date. The Mancunian rain is entirely accurate, however, and I make no apology for that.

    Complete with playlist and epic author's notes.

    NB - rating increased to E. I will mark the chapters in question so you can skip those bits (if you want M).

    Summary

    Agent Merlin “Emrys”, is renowned for three things in the Magic Agency of Camelot; being a lady's man, getting things done no matter the cost, and working alone. That was how things went. Bashing down buildings with a tank, blowing up secret nuclear headquarters, flying out of Russia on the back of a dragon, rescuing damsels in distress, it’s all part of his legacy, growing more and more insane with every passing day.

    But such charm hides pain, sins he cannot atone for. He had a partner once, one he could trust and rely on. Someone he cared for more than anyone else. At least, until she betrayed the kingdom.

    It was life or death, the lives of countless or her. The choice was made for him.

    But pleasures of the flesh can only fight off guilt and loss for so long. Of course, when an opportunity arises to atone such sins with visions of those long thought dead, Merlin is set on the job. Bring her home, preferably alive, before she has a chance to ignite the flames of a long cold war.

    Can Agent Merlin stop this war before it's too late? Can he earn forgiveness for the unforgivable? Can he fix his long broken wrong, and ensure she'll never leave his side again? Or are there sins that can never be atoned?
