Fill: Something Unpredictable, 1/?

Warning: Underage / mentions of underage (both Arthur and Merlin are seventeen, but there is mention of their playing doctor in the past when they were several years younger)

Something UnpredictableThe floor of Arthur’s tree house was the same as Merlin remembered it, all of it was. Maybe a little smaller, but then everything was less impressive now that he was a lot taller

Intriguing start! Looking forward to more.

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease keep this one going. Not only is the prompt hot as hell (and relatable *cough*), but your prose so far is wonderful. You paint the scene beautifully.

Dappled light filtered through the oak’s leaves to flit over a face that was sharper, more angular than Merlin remembered. Arthur was brown as a berry, skin so tanned he was glowing with it. He’d changed out of his grey suit, and the white t-shirt he was now wearing made his shoulders look rounded with muscle in just the way Merlin’s weren’t

I recently read a lovely piece of advice/opinion on modern AU characterisation, the gist of which was that there is even more pressure to have mod AU versions of Merlin and Arthur "in character" as otherwise they are just random people named Merlin and Arthur. If I were writing a textbook on this topic, here is where I would excerpt your bit about Arthur and the tyre swing, point to it and say, "There! There is a beautiful, clever moment of canon Arthur in a modern AU!"

Which is all a very roundabout way of saying, I am LOVING THIS COMPLETELY.

That last paragraph in contrast to the rest of this is so excellent. Wonderful literary device and I can imagine them as children so clearly! Loving the prose so far.

Enjoying this, but also had to share that every time I see the title all I can think of is the greenday song 'time of your life'

Good call, since that's what I was listening to when the idea struck. Seemed fitting, in a coming-of-age sort of way :D

This is gorgeous. I'm loving the descriptions of the tree house and Merlin relaxing into the well loved space and relaxing into Arthur, changed but the same, too. They've slipped back into the rhythms of their friendship and it's lovely to read.
