Summary
“i wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? and then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

Summary
He let the silence stretch on for a few minutes, staring mindlessly at the show in front of them. It was something about some girl and some prince. Merlin didn’t really know—wasn’t really paying attention. He dropped a hand down to his lap and carefully picked Arthur’s up off his thigh before lacing their fingers and resting their now joined hands back down. Then, he whispered the question that had been nagging at him since they woke tangled in bed that morning,
“Are we dating?”

Summary
“Hello, welcome to Camelot Coffee. How can I help—” Arthur’s voice cut off, breath catching as his eyes met the deep blue gaze of the man across the counter. His heart fluttered in his chest and a light heat rose to his face. “—you…”
The man was breathtaking.
His hair was dark and messy, and his cheekbones were strong and his lips—were moving. Oh, his lips were moving...? Oh! Arthur snapped out of his daze with wide eyes at the realisation the man was talking. His flush only deepened when he also realised he hadn’t heard a word the customer had said.
“I’m—could you…repeat that?” Arthur found himself asking, a touch of uncertainty in his voice. Only slightly embarrassed. The customer cocked an eyebrow, so Arthur let out a small chuckle, tacking on to the end, “Sorry, been a long night.”
Or
Arthur's taking on a few extra shifts to help pay for holiday gifts. It's pure luck when one of those shifts he meets Merlin, exhausted and looking for a kick of caffeine to help him through his own night shift.

“Is this why you’re doing this?” he breathed.
Merlin went silent, sitting back and licking his lip nervously, the croissant in his hand forgotten for a moment. “What do you mean?”
“Is this why you don’t sleep or eat?” That made Merlin’s eyebrows knot in confusion. “You’re punishing yourself, because you think you deserve it for not being ‘productive’.”

“Ah… Well?” Merlin asked, brows furrowed in a frown.

Summary
"Oh.” Merlin blinked a few times when his eyes landed on what—or rather, who—he backed into. “Sorry, didn’t see you.”
The blond man in front of him just sighed and waved a hand, shaking his head. Honestly, Merlin thought while giving him a subtle once over, he looked like shit. He was attractive, gods was he ever, but he looked tired and grumpy and really, Merlin wondered if he looked the same.
“’S fine. Didn’t see me,” the man repeated, and Merlin swore he would have melted at the sound of it had he not sounded so exhausted and irritable. And had he also not been so exhausted and irritable.

Summary
Merlin, a weary and doleful smile on his lips, turned the page. Another clap of thunder sounded from above, and a sigh spilled from his lips in time with it as his eyes fell upon the blank page. He’d come to the end of his journal, reached the final page. Yet, he found not the will to continue writing it, unable to pick up where he left off those years ago.
Unable to take himself back to that age, that stage in his life, that place of mourning and grief.
Albeit, an outsider may look at him and ask, is he not in that stage now still?
or
The night Arthur returned, Merlin took back every harsh word he ever spoke about the gods.
