Additionally, I know absolutely nothing about music, roadies, guitars, police matters, British things, ping pong, etc. Read at your own risk; I wrote this, (posting it unedited, live, daily, and anonymously), in 30 days for NaNoWriMo.
Summary: The Knights are about to embark on their Round Table Tour. All is not well with the band. Lead vocalist Arthur and lead guitarist Gwaine are feuding again. The head roadie has quit, leaving them in the lurch just before their first show. Enter Merlin, Gwaine's former friend, to handle the logistics. Merlin harbors a dark secret as the victim of domestic violence. Hijinks ensue, with a blend of angst and humor, and of course Arthur and Merlin discover they were destined to be together.
