    Summary

    Across centuries of plagues, wars, and new names for old cruelties, Merlin endures. After Camlann he walks the long road alone, a sorcerer who will not die and a lover who cannot forget. When grief finally tears a seam in time, he falls back into Camelot on the first day of his destiny. This time Merlin is smarter, quiet where he must be, ruthless where it counts, and determined to change fate for his golden-haired king.

    “That’s not very knightly of you, darling,” he called, voice lazy as a cat sunning on a sill.
    Arthur turned. Blue eyes, quick and keen and infuriatingly curious, flicked over him. “Excuse me?”
    “Using a servant as a moving target.” Merlin tipped his head toward the boy trotting in a circle, the shield clattering against his spine. “It’s crude. If you wanted to show off, you could have asked me to watch. I make an excellent audience.
    A squire choked. The boy stumbled to a grateful halt.
    Arthur’s mouth flattened into the princely version of a smile’s shadow. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
    “Handsome, overconfident, dangerously good with his hands,” Merlin said. “Likes knives more than apologies. I’ve met your type.”

    A.k.a Merlin fixes destiny with flirting,

    Summary

    Sonder: the feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own.

    When Arthur looked into the future, he had always believed Merlin would be there, irreverent and irritating, helping him dress or fetching his meals or tagging along on quests whether he was invited or not. Now, he saw a different path, one where Merlin gave up the job he had never wished for in the first place – one that gained him very little pay, recognition or thanks – and pursued his own ambitions.

    A new life far from Camelot.

    Far from Arthur's side.

    (Based on the word Sonder, for Kathryn)
