To be a Pendragon in the 21st century is to carry an impossible inheritance. Cynthia knows this. She likely works in a grey cubicle, her last name hidden on her resume to avoid the inevitable eye-rolls at the water cooler. “Pendragon? Like the wizard?” they’d joke. She would smile politely. She does not mention that Merlin is not a wizard, but a strategy consultant who ghosted her after the 2008 recession. She does not mention that her father, Artorius (Art to his friends), died not in the Battle of Camlann, but of a quiet heart attack while watching the news, overwhelmed by a world that had no room for round tables.
Fan communities (r/CynthiaPendragon on Reddit, which has over 50k members) are particularly active in creating "fix-it" fanfiction. The most popular fan theory, "The Living Blade," suggests that will eventually merge with a clone body in the upcoming sequel, Once & Future: The Wasteland . cynthia pendragon
