Summary
In an Albion where the oceans are higher, where Camelot is a port city and pirates plague the seas, Prince Arthur Pendragon struggles under the weight of his duty and his doubts. For almost twenty years he's honed himself to become the sword his father wants him to be, but he's begun to wonder if a ruler relying too much on the sword is more dangerous to his people than any foe.
Meanwhile Lady Morgana can no longer avoid the shadows that plague her in her waking hours as well as her dreams, and resolves to save herself from exhaustion and madness. But searching for forbidden knowledge in Camelot can be deadly, even for the king's ward.
And Merlin, the prince's manservant, holds more secrets than either of them. Between trying to free the dragon under the castle, protecting Arthur from magical threats that Camelot is no longer capable of grappling with, and keeping his head attached to his shoulders, he can barely keep up with his life as it is. Throwing in prophecies is just excessive.
This is a story carried by many hands, because in a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom can't be shouldered by any one person alone.

Summary
"Hey Buck, run through the logic again, would you?" says Chimney. "I didn't start recording in time."
"Chim." Eddie's voice implies that he's a dead man walking.
Worth it.
"We should get married," says Buck to Eddie.

Summary
Eddie let him get halfway through his beer while talking about road construction techniques and whether it was a myth that modern roads were sized based on the width of Roman chariot axles. Then, in a brief lull, Eddie said, "So what's up?"
"Um... with the chariots?"
Nice try, said Eddie's expression. "No, Buck," said his mouth. "What's up with you lately? I know something's going on."

Summary
Eddie picked up his coffee again, pretending to sip. His stomach had gone tight; hearing about Buck, even third-hand, made the familiar tension rise in him. It was almost like a mild panic attack -- a long, slow panic attack that had lived in the background of his body for months, never quite disappearing.

Summary
The driver of the jeep was a mess. He was a man, that much I was sure of, and probably pretty young, but it was hard to tell much with the bruises blooming on his face. Blood was smeared along one cheek and high on his forehead, and had dripped from his nose. His head rested against the headrest, and his eyes were closed.
Shit, what if he was dead? No way did I want to get involved in some random guy's murder.

Summary
“Well, we’ll just have to convince Arthur that’s not so bad, then,” Gwaine resolves. “I’m sure he can let you be a little magic, sometimes. On special occasions.”
Or, Gwaine comes back from a mission to find Camelot in chaos. He's got to fix everything by himself, as usual.

Summary
There are those who would be alarmed at seeing their best mate covered in blood and holding a knife, careening around a corner so wildly that he almost claims an additional victim entirely by accident.
And then there’s Gwaine.
(five times gwaine didn't find out about merlin's magic and one time he did)

Bookmarker's Notes
Fantastic characterization of Gwaine and his loyalty to Merlin. When he sees Merlin with a bloody knife, his only question is "Kill anyone important?" There's just a bit of Gwaine and Merlin and Lance's interaction, too, and Merlin getting the support he deserves. Very fun.
