Lineage - Chapter - 02: In So Few Words

Title: Lineage, Chapter 2: In So Few Words
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Thanks to his magic, Merlin always knew he had a weird heritage that his mother did not liking talking about. What he didn't expect was to find out she was a princess of the kingdom of Dyfed - making him heir to the throne. This changed...everything.
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Morgana
Warnings: mentions of violence, swearing, mentions of sex
Episode warnings: Post-S1 AU, but draws heavily on elements of S2 and S3
Beta: arithilim
Notes: Yes, it's back!

I know I abandoned it, and I was all but ready to give up on it myself, but I finally got myself to just write the last the damn bit, get it beta'd, and post it! :D

I'm getting back to all the things I've abandoned over the years, slowly, working my way backwards. For now it's Lineage, Euphoria, and my old Tarot Project! Later, I will also bring in my older fics, older fandoms, and my original fiction into my main focus as well.

Important notes:

1.) This story is still a post-S1 AU, but draws heavily on elements of S2 and S3 (basically all the events of those seasons, minus the evil!Morgana and Arthur/Gwen story archs, and compressed into one year)

2.) In light of Merlin's father's identity being revealed, the earlier chapters have been edited to fit that in.

Now - to the story!
