I dunno what it's about, I think maybe reconciling with legend and how things begin in strange places, or something. And also about the epic cracked out love of Bradley and Merlin. XD

The parallels, y'know, 'cos which is worse: being stuck forever in another world, or being stuck in another world and having to return? Maybe Bradley living out the Arthurian legend is what would have happened to the Pevensies if they had stayed, or something.

I was just commenting to someone about what I think would have happened to Arthur if he got stuck in our world: "I don't know if it's easier or harder for Arthur; the obstacles are different and opposite. Arthur doesn't have a clue who Bradley is, so there's less pressure to pretend to be someone else and take on their legacy, 'cos lol Bradley James has no legacy. I don't think Arthur would even try that hard. Mostly he'd just be confused and frustrated. While Bradley is trying to fill the shoes of a legend, Arthur is starting from scratch. He's been robbed of, not just his past, but also his future. Arthur grew up with people telling him "You're going to king one day!" but in this world, he will not be king. Bradley struggles with predestination. Arthur struggles with the sudden lack of it."

So, I've totally written more Merlin crack than real Merlin fic at this point.
