Summary
“Please, no,” Merlin begged. His ankle burned like a torch set against his bones, a hot poker in his marrow, like the pyre licking from his feet up to his heart. Instead, he dragged his lower body across the ground, scrabbling with his bare hands, crawling. “Please, Arthur, I didn’t do it to hurt you. I couldn’t tell you—I’m scared. Please, don’t! I never meant, oh goddess, I never meant to—”

Summary
Merlin had failed. Despite all his efforts, Arthur had ended up dead in his arms on the shores of Avalon, so close to salvation. Surely, this could not be how their shared destiny was supposed to end? No, it was all Merlin’s fault—he had made all the wrong choices, misinterpreting prophecy after prophecy. If only he could go back and try again, now that he knew better, maybe he could right his wrongs. Maybe he— Oh. Maybe he could go back…
Ignoring Kilgharrah’s protests about the impossibility of what he aimed to do, Merlin let all his power loose, becoming one with the fabric of the world and the magic he was born of. After following the bond he shared with Arthur through the winding paths of time, he finally emerged a decade into the past, having successfully seized a second chance to get this whole destiny thing right. Unfortunately, he would have to win Arthur’s trust all over again, seeing as Merlin was alone in remembering anything of the future he was hoping to change. Or…was he?
