Doing this belatedly because my holiday schedule has slowed down a bit, and my writing neurons are firing, and my typing fingers need warming up, so:

Pick one of my [Merlin] stories and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of

The day after As Fey Would Have It (1/3)

[angstslashhope]

Merlin wakes at dawn, so immediately aware that he wonders whether he was asleep at all, or just drifting. Dim light is washing into the clearing, and the sweet-brackish scent of the loam lingers close to the ground.

Gwaine is warm against his back--and still asleep from what Merlin can tell from his lack of tension or movement, not to mention the hot whuff of his sleepy breath against the back of Merlin's neck.

He follows the flow with the scrub of the palms, the last residue of yesterday morning (their mouths, his come) turning almost silky against his skin before it washes away

Yay! So glad you liked it. And I cannot write anything short, seriously, I had to make myself stop here. Maybe later I'll come back to it, as it's pretty much the start of another story!

Oh, all the emotions and how they handle them tentatively like frail but beautiful objects made of glass. Love it!
