Introduction

The following ficlets are written in an early twentieth century verse I call "The Champ." In this verse, Arthur is a prize fighter and the son of Duke Uther Pendragon. They all live on the Pendragon estate near the village of Camelot. Morgana, the Duke's daughter, is in love with her brother's 'Keeper', Merlin. Arthur is in love with Gwen, his sister's ladies maid.

This series was written for The Big One, a Prompt Table Challenge for Camelot Land, a Merlin Land Community. The prompt list was episode titles.
