Merlin Writers Month 2018 - Week 1: Newbie Week!

Ship: Gwaine/Merlin
Words: 92053
Summary: Merlin hadn't wanted Arthur to discover his magic like that: with Merlin performing a spell in the woods and Arthur simply stumbling across him. But with wounds both old and new festering within him, Arthur believes he has no choice- and banishes his dearest friend. Forced from Camelot, Merlin and Gwaine find themselves living amongst Druids, and Merlin discovers he has the chance to learn more about his magic, his heritage, and the prophecy that binds him and Arthur together. But with tensions stirring both near and abroad, past lies come to light, and everyone finds that not everything is truly as it seems.
Comment: Gwaine and Merlin are the cutest in this and I love how much they love each other. This was an amazing fic with as much fluffy domesticity as angst and action.
...so maybe reccing a 90K word fic for newbie week is too much, buuuuuut Neb has only been writing for a year, so it definitely can come in newbie week. I’d definitely say to read the rest of her fics if you want something shorter but also great!
