   Summary

   What if Merlin was the one to sustain the mortal injuries during the Battle of Camlann, not Arthur? Will the Once and Future King be able to save his friend? More importantly, will he WANT to after finally discovering Merlin's secret?

   A fix-it fic for the series finale, which shattered my soul.
