   Summary

   The Pendragon Keep estate is the furthest of Camelot's castles, left solely functional by its staff. When word arrives that the King and another will be staying, they strive to discover who this ambiguous Merlin is to the King and therefore, themselves. Secrets flare and spread fast in a castle such as this one - so it's best to keep them hidden.

   -

   Set after the series where Arthur survives and both him and Merlin are trying to understand their new dynamic, as the King and his Merlin. Told from outsider POV but very focused on that relationship.
