Title: If You Ever Have Need
Fandom: Merlin
Rating: T for violence
Pairings: Mostly Merlin/Arthur friendship. There will probably be some Arthur/Gwen romance later on. ABSOLUTELY NO SLASH
Spoilers: Through the end of season 2
Warnings: Slight violence. No beta. All mistakes are my own.
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters or ideas. I just like to play with them. (Okay...that sounded wrong, but you know what I mean.)
Summary: When yet another creature attacks Camelot, Merlin is forced to reveal his powers. Unable to kill his closest friend, Arthur sends him away. What does that mean for their destiny.
Author’s Note: This is a repost. I went over the reviews I got on ff.net, and there were a couple who really thought that Gwen was OOC. When I went back and reread the chapter, I realized that I had gone a little more off the beaten path than I’d intended. Hopefully this fixes things. Because this is an AU fic, I’m not entirely backtracking with Gwen. I want her to work with Merlin because I think that in the long run, her knowledge of his powers will help Arthur. There’s a little more explanation for my decision in the chapter and in the AN at the end. If you still think she’s too OOC, then I’m sorry, but that’s what I needed to do for the fic to work. Let me know what you think.
I’d like to thank Maya Tamika for reviewing every chapter so far. Her praise has done me wonders. I’d also like to point out that when I started this fic, I hadn’t actually seen season three. I had no idea that there were wyverns in the episode with the Fisher King. I just picked a creature to use. Sorry for any confusion.
