Should My Sword Fall From My Hand by nympha_alba Merlin/Arthur. Mention of Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Freya, Leon/Morgana [NC-17] (30k)
Warnings: Angst, minor character death, major character death (temporary/reincarnation), non-linear time line
Summary: When King Arthur is hit by a vicious curse, the only one who can save him is Merlin - at the cost of revealing his magic. In London in 2012, Merlin - who has repressed his magic all his life - is called in to help when his workmate Arthur is in a coma. The two worlds are not as separate as they seem, and one lifetime might not be enough for Arthur and Merlin to find just how closely entwined their destinies were meant to be.

This is a fascinating piece in which we are give two parallel threads of the same story and we get to watch them intertwine before our eyes, toggling back and forth in both the joy and heartache of modern day and before until the story finds it's proper conclusion. Painful at times, but such a beautiful reincarnation story.

amythystluna's art is simply stunning>. (especially the door!!!! I love the door!)

Absolutely breathtaking! One of the finest pieces of fan fiction I've ever read.

Thanks so much for the rec.
