moonprincessnatCandle, Cup, and Casket by http://archiveofourown.org/users/Desiderii/pseuds/Desiderii is an amazing Merlin (Merlin/Arthur) space opera that grabs hold of you and just DOES NOT LET GO! I stayed up all night reading, as I was so caught up in the story and characters that sleep was impossible. This epic is awesome in every sense of the word. Here is the author's summary:
In some far distant future, Arthur heir Pendragon, Captain of the galley-class Kilgharrah and Prince of the Camelot, answers a distress call from the alien-besieged Ealdor. There, he finds Merlin, a plausibly-deniable sorcerer with an irresistible grin. This is the story of how the terraformation of planet Albion was threatened by the prejudices of the past, of finding solid ground and taking a stand, and of giving yourself reasons to trust.
A phantasmagorical space opera, high fantasy in a science fiction setting, this work includes cyborg Arthur, fighter-pilot Morgana, spectral dragons, Lovecraftian horrors, sentient spaceships, and a little bit of that kissing stuff.
