Pairings/characters: Merlin/Arthur; Gwaine, Leon, & the other knights; characters from Arthurian legend (e.g. the Green Knight, Ragnelle)

Warnings: past minor character deaths, violence & slight gore on occasion, drinking, intoxication, sexual situations
AO3: here (← downloadable in various formats)
Summary: [Post-S3 crossover with Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle.] Merlin couldn't have picked a worse time to finally tell Arthur about his magic. In the wake of the battle against the immortal army, a strange visitor disrupts the court, calling himself the Green Knight and proposing a test of the court's integrity. Although Uther turns him away, several of Camelot's northern allies end up mysteriously beheaded over the next few months, and Arthur, Merlin and the knights set out to investigate. They encounter more than they'd bargained for on the way—a reckless young boy, a lady in search of a husband, a centuries-old fairytale that holds more than a grain of truth... and a challenge that ends up being more than just a game.
