Summary
The great and ancient city of Camelot had been lost to time. Some believe it had never existed in the first place, while others speculated and theorized on just where it was and what had happened to it.
In the 21st century, it is found, and sends waves through the modern world.
An archaeologist and his field techs uncover the site, and discover the great relics that lay within.
A scholar rethinks her entire body of research.
An online theorist rethinks his entire life.
And a children’s author reminisces on centuries gone past.Or, a look at the discovery of the lost city of Camelot, through multiple modern POVs!

Summary
On the night that Arthur learns of Merlin’s magic, a witchfinder is brought to Camelot. Fearing for his life and his chances of escape from the castle, Merlin turns to his last option. To travel through Nimheu’s Mirror, an indestructible artefact left behind when Nimheu fled Camelot at the start of the purge, said to have taken sorcerers away from the fear of the pyre, never to be seen again. On the other side, Merlin does not quite find the safe haven he was expecting. He is back in Camelot. But not his Camelot. An older Camelot, a harsher Camelot, with an older and harsher King to rule her. He cannot go back, he can only go on. But how? And what will his own Camelot do without him?

Summary
Alone and isolated by his immortality, Merlin journeys once more to Camelot, to the site of an old story Gaius once told him. Beneath the castle, in a hidden crypt, it is said sorcerers once escaped Uther's purges - but how? And to where?
Merlin intends to find out.
But when he stumbles into another world, another Camelot, when he finds Arthur, alive but changed, he must do all he can to prove himself true. Even if it means his own undoing.

Summary
“Don’t you dare touch him,” Merlin growled, “Arthur Pendragon is mine.”
A tall, red-haired woman stepped forward, taking the lead of the group. She looked ethereal in the bright afternoon light. Her face was too perfect, too symmetrical to be completely human, and a strange glint shone in her green eyes. She was alluring, moving with controlled grace. When she spoke, her voice echoed, as if it came from all around them at once.
“You haven’t claimed him yet, not the proper way at least,” she retorted, her hungry gaze still trained on Arthur.

Summary
Merlin Emrys, 1500 years old, clinical medical examiner, professional hermit, has finally made peace with the fact that Arthur is gone.
He has not made peace with this. He has simply gotten very good at pretending.When Detective Inspector Arthur Pennington walks into his morgue on a Tuesday, looking exactly the same and remembering absolutely nothing, Merlin's carefully constructed equilibrium lasts approximately forty seconds.
There is also a murder. Possibly magic. Definitely a conspiracy. But mostly, this is about a man who has been in love for fifteen centuries trying to hold it together in a pub while Arthur Pendragon sits pressed against his leg and has no idea.
Slow burn. Reincarnation. Heavy on the yearning, light on the sense.
