AN2: Dude, I am so funny. Don’t you just love my clever title that sounds almost but not entirely completely unlike a romantic ballad? And my summary that (very badly) parallels the legends?
Summary: The golden age of the fencers of Camelot University may have come to an end as a betrayal rocks their foundations. Can Merlin bring them back together? Or will another secret tear him apart as well?

Pairings: Morgana/Merlin, Morgana/Gwaine
Medium: video
Song: Broken Inside by Broken Iris
Content/Warnings: Abuse, Character Death

Artist's Notes: Gwaine is a king for the sake of this story because it allowed me to fit in Morgana keeping Gwaine prisoner, which was the original premise for the video, how it morphed into a secret affair between Morgana and Merlin is beyond me. Nevertheless, I do hope you enjoy it :)
