Summary: When Arthur races after a lost Merlin the moment he gets word that he's been held captive, a twisted revelation makes his own home a place he cannot return to. And presented with the choice of knowing and not knowing what the future held, and his home, and his people all on the line; the prince of Camelot is torn. Because if he knows, he would submit to the path the gods set for him, damn the consequences, damn the effects it could have on the people he loved. But if he doesn't.....

Author's notes: This has been a real labour of love and I've enjoyed every minute of writing it. Thank you to my one of a kind beta, who has also, through this process, become a wonderful friend - teachinghimpoetry. I honestly couldn't have done this without you. Thank you also to my amazing artist, Emmi. I loved your work before this and I'm incredibly honoured to have had you as an artist. I hope you all enjoy the fic and I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Artist's notes: The only think I can say is, you should read her amazing fan fiction and everything will become clear!
Summary: 7 years ago, Arthur banished Merlin after finding out that he possessed magic, destroying the love they had built in the process. Now, with Camelot under threat from Morgana, Arthur swallows his pride and seeks help from the one person he knows he can trust. Merlin reluctantly returns to Camelot - with a son in tow. Arthur must try to make amends for the past while he struggles to reconcile the fact that Merlin's son is connected to him in a way he could never imagine.

At this time, we are asking you for your final DRAFT, not your finished fic.
This means you are not required to have your fic beta'd, but it must be completely finished and beta'd when you post. NO WIPs are allowed. Any story that isn't at least 25k at the time of posting will be removed.
Authors and Artists, you may keep working right up to your posting date. If artists happen to run short of time and have additional art for your collaboration after it posts, you are allowed to add to the art after the story is posted.
If you will NOT be ready to post by August 15, now is the time to let us know. We've already had a few requests for late posting dates and we will try to accommodate as many special requests as we can, but it may not be logistically possible for everyone.
First and foremost, late posting dates will be granted for pinch-hitting artists and genuine hardship. Please don't ask for a late date if you don't have a good reason for requiring it.
