How to Survive Promotion in the Middle Ages (Masterpost)
Title: How to Survive Promotion in the Middle Ages
Fandom: Merlin (BBC)
Characters: Merlin, Gwen, Arthur, Lancelot, Gwaine, Morgana, Morgause, various others
Pairings: Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Gwaine, past Gwen/Lancelot
Rating: Teen
Length: ~80,000 words
Summary: The King is dead; long live the King. Arthur sits on the throne of Camelot, but everyone - including him - is still waiting to find out what sort of a king he will be. If he fails, there are plenty of other people who wouldn't mind stepping up to fill his shoes - particularly Morgana, who has had her eye on the throne since Uther's death. In the meantime, there are these negotiations with Northumbria to deal with; one of his best knights has gone missing; and, oh yes, someone at the court of Camelot may be trying to kill him. It's a good thing that Gwen and Merlin have got his back. Well, most of the time.
Author's Notes: Originally written as part of Nanowrimo in November 2010. Since series three was still airing at that point, this fic goes AU around episode 3x10, and doesn't reflect any canon events from then on.
Thank you to my wonderful betas,
sophinisba,
vensre, and
kaizoku, who did valiant battle against run-on sentences, plot holes, and dangerously spicy semi-colons, to make this fic presentable. You are my HEROES. ♥
Extra thank yous to the awesome people who cheered me on while writing and rewriting:
fly_to_dawn,
foxyfurs,
miarrow, and all the amazing people at the 'fleet finishathon and parties. You guys are the greatest support team ever. ♥
