Arthur counts the hours by the guards’ shifts. One, two, three, and Merlin died halfway into the first shift (he shouldn’t know this, shouldn’t know that the last word Merlin’s mouth shaped wasn’t sorcery at all but Arthur, Arthur who hadn’t come) and so it’s twelve hours that bleed into each other before Uther comes ( ... )

The anger is a sudden thing and it feels a bit like madness, and Arthur knows in that moment that if Uther had dared to walk into the cell instead of hiding behind those metal bars, Arthur would hurt him now. Arthur would hurt him for every single second Merlin had been stuck in that limbo between life and death, for every single time Merlin had prayed for a quicker death as the flames ate away at his skin and boiled his blood. He wants to see Uther under him, skin painted with bruises and Arthur’s madness - for it has to be madness, but he doesn’t care anymore because all he can think is Merlin Merlin Merlin ( ... )

And oh! but this line is beautiful: of course Merlin was magical because there’s no other explanation for the way his face went bright with laughter, his smile wide with sweetness.
Wonderfful, anon. I look forward to more! x

2. This will eventually follow the prompt, but I could seriously write a 50K epic, here (I won't, don't worry).
3. Thank you for reading/commenting!The court is laid out a bit like a crowded chessboard: the knights are restless in the back because they’ve promised their lives to Camelot but their allegiance to Arthur; the rooks and bishops line the walls, dressed in their fanciest clothes because yesterday’s execution and now this makes for one of the more exciting social events of the year; and Uther is high in his throne, wearing a crown that Arthur would think is gold if he’d never seen gold in Merlin’s eyes ( ... )

And yes, of course he was ensorcelled, because he can’t stop thinking about Merlin, and three years ago life had expanded so that Merlin could fit into it and now Arthur’s drowning in those empty spaces, so yes, Arthur was ensorcelled, is ensorcelled ( ... )

Arthur looks to his right - and he wasn’t expecting to see anyone there, not really, but it occurs to him that the only reason he looked is because that’s where Merlin would be: to his right, close at hand. And now there’s just empty space where Merlin should’ve been, would’ve been, grinning fondly back at him.
It’s the emptiness that makes him say, “Fine. But do keep in mind that this isn’t actually a jaunt into the countryside; we’ll be going a bit faster than you’re used to and there may be a very dangerous confrontation with a very dangerous sorcerer. If all you’re looking for is a stretch of your legs, you might be better off taking a turn around one of the gardens ( ... )
