Pendragon's Folly, Chapter 1

What have I been doing for the last age or two? I've been wrestling with this story, which is now, finally, all at second (third, fourth) draft stage and if I don't post it, sparrow2000 has promised she will do something. And I don't want that, because she has an imagination.

I am off work today, but I am away tomorrow, so I'll be posting future chapters on Saturdays.

Title: Pendragon's Folly
Pairing: M/A, eventually.
Characters: in this chapter - Merlin, Gaius, Gwen, Leon, Gwaine
Rating: PG maybe even U
Chapter Word Count: 7,250
Warnings: No sex
Summary: There's an out of work wizard, a museum, a sizeable donation that turns it into a building site, suspicious happenings and magic. A sort of 'take your fandom to work' story.
Author's note 1: When it comes to romance, this story is the definition of 'slow burn'.
Author's note 2: More thanks than I can say to my beta, plot wrangler and best friend, sparrow2000.
Comments are always greatly appreciated, loved and cherished.
