Title: The Lives That Weren't
Rating: R
Pairing: Merlin/Morgana, Arthur/Gwen, Morgause/Nimueh
Summary: What would have happened in S1, had Nimueh raised Morgause, Morgana and Merlin; in which Arthur is bemused to find himself seeking out witches to leave the druid boy with and ponders the problematic nature of being a prince who is in love with his laundry maid.

Note: I actually finished this more than a month ago but have only just got round to proofing/beta-ing it; it's in twelve parts and I'll post one part every couple of days until they're all up. Enjoy!

Part one.
Part two.
Part three.
Part four.

( He is under a spell, or he is in love with a laundry maid, and he can't quite decide which would be worse. )
