Author Notes:

Story Summary:
Now that Merlin and Arthur have dealt with Arthur’s return from the dead, and with their mutual love for one another, and also with that mild inconvenience of having to save the Northern Hemisphere from an ancient magical foe, they're finally able to live their lives like any two normal people in love.All they want is to forget the past, to have a long indulgent holiday road-tripping around the world seeing the sights together as a newly engaged couple, and to get married in Avalon the coming summer on the Solstice.
Surely, that’s not too much to ask. I mean, things always went totally to plan for them before, right?
Story contains: Banter, humor, misadventure, old friends and new friends, canon-level peril, fluff and feels, a happily ever after at the end, and love. Lots and lots of love.

Summary
Rome is even more the majestic city Arthur imagined centuries ago, as he’d listened to his tutors’ lessons. Imperial antiquity breathes from every stone, somehow made even more grandiose in comparison to the modern buildings among them.
Unlike their trip to London five months ago, Merlin is comfortable amid the modern chaos. Despite cars speeding past on too-narrow stone roads, and tourists clogging pavements beneath towering monuments, Merlin shows no signs of distress.
Arthur, to his own surprise, is at ease as well. Not bad for a man born fifteen centuries ago, he thinks, more than once. It’s an immodest thought, one more befitting the king he was, or perhaps still is, depending upon your point of view.
He knows he should let go of such arrogant old habits. But on this one topic, he thinks he’s entitled.
It isn’t many people, after all, who could handle being murdered as a king only to emerge from a lake fifteen centuries later, to discover a land he no longer knows. To say nothing of having to prevent a predestined apocalypse days later. Or deal with being in a relationship with Merlin, who he's apparently been in love with since the first day they met.

Summary
(Updated 5/16 with a text transcript of the images!)
If you've read "And Like The Cycle of the Year We Begin Again", and its sequel "Our Destinies Our Own", you'll enjoy this little text exchange, in which Merlin and Arthur share the news of their engagement with their friends in Avalon...
... with some unexpected -- and humorous -- consequences.
Well. Perhaps not so humorous for Heath. But that's what you get, when you mock a sorcerer. :)

Summary
They say the druid in the forest who guards the sword in the stone has never woken. Unchanging, no matter the season, no matter how many years go by; lost in a dream that will only be broken by the Once and Future King.

Summary
Padme lives. She runs.
--
Leia is growing in fits and spurts, eating greedily and crying loudly. She stays in a sling on Padme’s chest when they move, Luke held snug in a sling around Obi Wan’s. Luke gets a whole head of thick brown hair while Leia’s is still patchy and bald, but he never matches his sister’s powerful lungs.
When Padme had been sitting in her high senatorial apartment on Corsucant, holding Anakin’s sweaty hand, she had never imagined she’d be murmuring desperately soothing noises to her fussy daughter while she shot around a corner at stormtroopers, while R2D2 meddles with a ship’s blast doors behind her.
Luke starts teething on a hot jungle planet where they hunker down for three weeks, sleeping in an abandoned old temple and catching the local wildlife for dinner. Leia takes her first steps in the belly of a Corellian freighter they’ve stowed away on. She wobbles between Padme’s outstretched hands and Obi Wan’s knees and boxes of smuggled luxuries. When she falls down, Obi Wan surges forward, heart in his throat, but Leia laughs.
