    Summary

    Three years before the famous Train No.0377 whistled its way out of Allahabad, a quiet love story had started within the boisterous city of Delhi.
    This is the way I envisioned Karthik and Aman's Prem Kahani. There are two streams of consciousness. Aman and Karthik's. I will be alternating between them, to give the first hand feel of how they felt.

    Summary

    “Forget I said anything,” Merlin tried, failing to smother his snickering. He lowered his eyes to the ground, and bit down on his grin even as his shoulders shook with laughter. Neither of them was fooled. “Of course you’re not jealous. Why would you be? Just because Ser Erden is so very charming—”

    “He is not—”

    “And chivalrous—"

    “I bet he beats his servants,” Arthur insisted, with no proof or reason. “And his dogs.”

    “And handsome—”

    “Handsome?!” Arthur shouted, so loud that it boomed in Merlin’s ears. He jerked his head up in surprise. Dark spots of red had bloomed across Arthur’s cheeks, flush and furious. “He is not! He’s—shut up, Merlin!”

    Summary

    If Arthur had known his lawyer was going to be this handsome, he would’ve filed for divorce a lot sooner. Unfortunately for Arthur, Merlin has committed himself to a life of singledom, crankiness, and morals. Slowly, Arthur’s charming qualities heal something inside Merlin that he didn’t break.

    Part I: Arthur's POV
    Part II: Merlin's POV

    Excerpt (paraphrased):

    “Are you gay?” Arthur asked his lawyer.

    "Excuse me?"

    “Are you part of the LGBTQA+ community?” Arthur asked, rephrasing.

    “That’s irrelevant to this case.”

    Arthur leaned towards the desk slightly. “But relevant to my interests.”

    Summary

    A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.

    He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.

    'Arthur?'


    When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.

    He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.

    Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?
