Summary
In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy.His name? Remus (Basically Merlin but with the Marauders as the main characters. Book One of Five)
Note
This is a long marauders fic set in the world of BBC's Merlin. Book one will follow season 1, book two covers season 2, and so on for all five seasons. There isn't a ton of romance in this book--because it's only book one--but the series will eventually have:wolfstar, jegulus, jily, marylily, dorlene, rosekiller, (and possibly pandalily?)I haven't quite decided which ships will be endgame yet (besides wolfstar, dorlene, and rosekiller.) In the beginning, Lily might fancy Remus a little (because who wouldn't) but it's resolved pretty soon and Peter fancies Pandora (unfortunately for him, because she's a demi-lesbian.) I didn't tag those because there's not a chance in hell they'll be endgame, but I didn't want anyone to freak out when it happens.Other warnings:- some violence (I'll add warnings before chapters, but this first book at least won't have much.)- not really any sexual content (once again, for this book at least. Basically just fancying and the occasional kiss. When needed, I will add warnings for this as well.)- some minor character deaths (mostly villains or nameless characters. For this book at least.)Another note: having magic and being gay are linked in this story (because no one can convince me having magic was not a metaphor for being gay in Merlin.) No one who has magic is straight. In the same way, those who try to hide their magic try to hide that they're really quite gay. (This is mostly seen in Minnie/Poppy's relationship.) In this way, there are homophobic undertones to the world they live in, but none of the characters are actually homophobic (except maybe Charlus [read: Uther.]) If there are any scenes that feel specifically homophobic, I will add a warning.Also, James and Sirius are definitely prats in the beginning but later experience ✨character growth✨I nearly forgot!- language: mild language will probably happen throughout (but nothing too offensive? i think??)If there's anything else you guys feel I should add trigger warnings for, or if there's ever something I don't add warnings for that I should, please let me know!(Also, this is my first fic so......................... yeah *awkward smile*)Now, on to the story!!
