Merlin fic rec: The Sorcerer and the King

[starrylizard]

The Sorcerer and the King by Winterhill (Arhtur/Merlin, Gwen/Lancelot, other cast and OCs)

Summary: Canon AU -- Merlin's death is only the beginning; with no-one to protect the kingdom, Camelot falls to an enemy sorcerer and Arthur is forced to serve in the court that he once ruled. When an escape attempt goes horribly wrong, Arthur is rescued by someone he never expected to see again -- and it's their destiny to put things right.

Rec: This is Epic! Just brilliant and epic! The OCs are fabulous, the Merlin and Arthur she creates in this world where sorcery reigns are so right and the story is wonderfully plotty and had me clutching my heart and cheering them on in turns. I don't want to give away the plot at all, so just go read it.

Merci beaucoup! I should probably spend less time reading fanfic and more time reading theology - but then that wasn't one of my New Year's resolutions.

You're welcome. This fic is epic enough to almost count as theology. *nods* No point making ny resolutions you know you won't keep. :)
