Description:

Merlin is the legend.

Merlin is the greatest wizard the world has ever seen. Merlin is the birth and death of magic. His story has been told for ages and will never succumb to the ash of time. His story is history.

Let the history books talk about him. We’ll be the one to sing about another face of the past.

We’ll sing about Douxie, in lousy halls, dirty street, empty palaces.

If Merlin is a name of royalty, Douxie is the name of the poor, of the weak, of the sick. The ballad of Hisirdoux Casperan has come.

 

 

The many lives and personae of Douxie, from the 12th century to the 21st one.

 

 

 

persona (latin): noun, mask.

Notes:

This is a series of mostly standalone-ish one-shots, held together by some threads and themes. It's not necessary to read all of them, but reading all the stories will give more knowledge about it and help understand some of the things that may make you question the story.

Headcanons/Canon Divergences :
 

- Merlin fell asleep after the Battle of Killahead but he woke up around century later, earlier than in the show.
- He, Douxie and Archie have spent most of their time travelling around.
- Merlin fell asleep once again during the start of the Modern Age. That's why he was in the Tomb, where he was found by Jim and the others.
