    Summary

    And now, after all this time, the man that appeared before Merlin was no more than a specter, not so unlike what Merlin had become inside—washed out, colourless, and roughly defined, and now staring at him, and all around him, in confusion.

    "I... then, was it all... a dream?"

    ---------

    Or: Arthur Pendragon returns, wrong-footed in a stark new reality. Merlin is still alive, but immortality has had drastic effects. Together they embark on a journey of healing.

    Summary

    The air in the night before a battle crackles with tension like electricity before a lightning strike. A breath can shatter what calm they have left and while the knights sit around a campfire, laughter and stories staving off their fear, Merlin does everything he can to memorize the man sitting next to him on the riverbank.

    Summary

    The body of a Prince was not like anyone’s. His hand only ever held others in a firm handshake, and rarely without gloves. Sometimes he would raise the delicate hands of noble ladies to his lips for a brief kiss, but it was all out of propriety. He rarely touched others, but what was even rarer was others touching him. The only ones who dared were his knights, and even they only smacked his shoulder or patted his back in friendly roughhousing. Gripping each other’s arms before battle was the most heartfelt touch they exchanged. Lingering soft touches were not done. Any lingering touch on his person could be interpreted as political movements. After all, Arthur’s body wasn’t his own. It never had been. He was Camelot’s first and foremost. Even above his own needs and wants.
