Season 1 A/U: Merlin has only been staying with Gaius for six weeks when a letter arrives about another young man: his name is Owen, and he has been living in the forest alone, with a lion as his only companion. This is a Merlin-ification, so if you know the story you'll (hopefully!) see it in new ways. (also: in this fic Gwaine is a more traditional knight of Camelot)
