The imagery and language in this are just gorgeous. You broke my heart into little pieces at the start and yet had pieced it back together by the end! Amazing, well done!
Merlin breathed ’magic’ against Arthur’s lips, slick from rain and salty from tears, and Arthur clutched the back of Merlin’s tunic rough and solid, and answered ’I know.’
It was an instant of everything, grief and hope and Arthur, and Merlin had to close his eyes against it and believe that the rains would stop, the sun would rise, and he would make both come to pass from the tips of his fingers if Arthur willed him to.
Utterly gorgeous. I wish I could think of something better to say, but my brain is dead. It's heartbreaking, and yet so wonderful. I love it.
