    Summary

    The first time the change happened Merlin was only 10 summers old.
    It had felt like he tripped, falling to his knees suddenly and without warning. He thought the pain of skinning them was the worst of it, and for a few moments that was true.
    “Merlin?” Hunith called after him, “You okay, love?”
    Merlin couldn’t even focus on the ground as his fingers shook against the dirt, “I don’t know, mum!” Pain crackled along his back, it had lanced up every individual bone and struck at the back of his skull.

    ~~

    Once a month Merlin is beset by a transformation. He can only describe is as monsterous.
    His hopes for a cure are wearing thin, but still he does his best to keep his nature hidden as he naviagtes his life in Camelot at Arthur's side.
    When the timing doesn't work, Merlin has to risk being discovered if he is to continue protecting his prince.
