A/N: This is part of the Arthurian novel I worked on well through high school. It works better as fanfiction than as anything designed for professional publication, I think. The first draft of this was written by a horny teenager; the second draft by a slightly more restrained college student; and now, the final revision now by a grad student who actually has some idea how to write a sex scene (although my revising of the sex scene in this chapter was actually quite minimal). Yuletide has put me into the mood to pull it out and try to do something productive with it; think of it as King Arthur meets Torchwood. The druids in this story bear no resemblance to any actual religious tradition; no detail is intended to be in any way historically accurate (a fact I plan eventually addressed within the story itself).
