Author's Note: I just watched S209, The Lady of the Lake. Does Freya ever actually become the Lady of the Lake? I wasn't sure, but this wanted to be written. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, Arthur, or Merlin's memories of Freya. Those belong to BBC and Merlin, respectively. Actually, if you want to be technical, ('technically, Merlin's memories belong to Merlin, who belongs to BBC, so his memories belong to BBC too') they all belong to BBC.

Chapter Four: Waves in the Lake
"Come on," calls Arthur, waving from the edge of the lake. "It's wonderful!" He's soaking, water dripping off the end of his nose to plop wetly onto the dusty earth. "Merlin!" he shouts again. From his perch on the safely dry shores, Merlin can see Arthur waving his arms, and is pretty sure he knows what the prince is saying. What he doesn't know is how to explain that Arthur is standing on a graveyard; that he will not enter the waters of Avalon in respect for Freya. Because, even though she's dead and gone, it still hurts too much.
