Near and Far

by ForestFable

Arthur was used to being trotted out by Uther as Camelot’s shiny, young ambassador. Though he didn’t care much for Cenred, he certainly wasn’t afraid of him. No, it wasn’t Essetir that bred knots in his stomach. For reasons that Arthur did not yet understand, it was the humble village of Ealdor that loomed specterlike over the journey ahead. When a diplomatic visit to Cenred's kingdom takes Arthur and Merlin through Ealdor, Arthur must confront a secret he has kept from himself since Merlin arrived in Camelot.

His King, Arthur

by rosesunlight

“Why have only the knights been enchanted? Why not us as well?” She asked Merlin“You're a woman,” Merlin stated matter-of-factly.“So?” She repliedMerlin shifted his gaze to the spot where he had last seen Gwaine before he had left them. “All the victims have been men.”“So why haven't you fallen under her spell?” Gwen asked, and Merlin’s breath caught in his throat. In reality, he knew there were only two reasons he had been so lucky; both were enough to land him on the pyre. Although, for one, he knew Arthur would never allow it. The other, he was not so sure.I saw a memey tik tok about why the Lamia didn't affect Merlin like the knights. Instead of it being due to sorcery, I wrote it as *homosexuality*. So this is about Merlin coming out to Gwen, and an unconscious Elyan.
