From Darkness Comes Light is a Merlin/Arthur canonverse vampire AU by Beren (19,750 words).

Summary: When dark creatures that prey on the living, taking their blood and causing the dead to rise from their graves are reported in Albion it is Arthur who is sent to destroy them. Some things, however, do not fall to the sword and Arthur learns this the hard way. Merlin is faced with giving up more than his secret to save his friend.

Arthur is almost turned into a vampire but Merlin saves him through magical bonding. This changes the curse and Arthur needs to drink Merlin's blood because the magic keeps him human, satisfies his vampire urges and makes them have a lot of sex. Contains sex magic, first time and romance.

The first part of the story has been translated into Russian.
