Many thanks to [personal profile] mythichistorian for the beta read and her many helpful suggestions. The characters and concepts of Merlin and Highlander belong to the shows' respective creators and copyright holders, and all standard disclaimers apply.


Magic, in the heat of battle, is less of an advantage than might be imagined.
