I spotted this on my flist and had to swoop in and read, even though I am supposed to be working (oops). I really enjoyed this beginning! I am not all that familiar with The Dark is Rising beyond what you've told me, but this seems like such an interesting world. I love the reincarnation aspect (and of COURSE Merlin is Arthur's type), and all the mysteries set up here.

I am looking forward to the next part!!
