Summary: Arthur is a royal who can't remember his past. Merlin and Gaius are con-men, hoping to return Arthur to Uther for a hefty reward, but little do they know they have the real deal on their hands.

A/N: Idea comes from a plot bunny on this thread, proposed by derryere, necro_omen13, and lupine_pyra. Some lines and plot aspects respectfully borrowed from both Fox Animation’s Anastasia and BBC’s Merlin. Updates will be regular. Beta’d by the wonderful justicemischief.

WARNING: This is not historically accurate (though, I tried hard to make it so). I did a hell of a lot of research and did my best to incorporate aspects of actual history where I could, while adapting some of the film's (inaccurate) representation, but I did simplify and mess around with a lot of Russia's history (and buildings) in the end. As such, the revolution mentioned in this fic is not one of the real revolutions, and though I made a few nods to Grand Duchess Anastasia and her family, this fic does not tell their story. So, this may best be viewed as sort of an alternate universe Russia. Now that I’ve scared away the history majors, we may proceed ;)
