A Merthur Story (see description below)
**********
Arthur, King of Camelot, has brought peace to the land. Magic is still banned, yes, but Merlin can live with that, he just needs to be careful.
Really, there's only one problem present:
Arthur needs an heir.
In order to solve this predicament, three princesses are invited to stay in Camelot for Arthur to court until he can choose his bride.
Thing is: Merlin is in love with Arthur, and he could never bear to see his king fall in love with anyone else.
And Arthur isn't even sure if he wants to get married himself...
(This is an AU! Features Good!Morgana, Servant!Gwen, and the knights being lovable idiots. Morgana doesn't have magic, either.)

He goes to sit by the lake of Avalon to wait for Arthur. Eventually Arthur returns. Merlin is not immortal in this version, however he is still extremely powerful. This is about their life together. Warnings: malexmale relationship, some language might be considered crude, mentions of m-preg. Mentions of thoughts of suicide.Complete
