The Long Shadow is a Merlin/Arthur story by destina.

Summary: What's the point of being the most powerful sorcerer who ever walked the earth, if you can't tinker with destiny now and then? Spoilers for all of season five; goes AU just before the end of 5.13.

The story was listed as an often recced story by merlin_hotrecs in June 2013.[1]

Recs and Reviews

This was a beautiful 'what if' fic with a sweet build between MxA post S5. I appreciated that she stayed true to canon even though it sometimes ached. Just lovely.[2]

THIS is how the series finale should have gone. This fic was so absolutely incredible and moving and beautiful and it made me cry so much from happiness. Just really magnificent. Highly recommended! :)[3]

I feel that everyone has probably already read this, because who would not want to read an alternate Series 5 ending written by Destina? But it still bears mentioning, because perfect fix-it is perfect.[4]
