Title: What Can Never Be
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: Things come to a head for Merlin and Arthur.
Rating: G, which is highly unusual for me…
Word count: 921
Author's note: This is a bittersweet and completely self-indulgent little thing. Blame the BBC, because I just know they'll tease us and tease us, but it will never be ( Read more... )

Oh! A keyboard smash, a heart and a 'win' in the first comment.
Thank you muchly - you've made my day! :)

I wish I could make a big a heart as thisissirius did.
AND THEN BREAK IT.
Because that is me right now :(

BEAUTIFUL. Stunning. And heart-breaking. Simple, yet so effective.

I'm just going to find a corner to go and pine in now...

Aww, that's how I'm probably gonna end up feeling come the end of the series, when the BBC refuse to give us any real, meaty slash!

Thank you very much for commenting :)

Call me Sissi ;)

IF I COULD HAVE MADE A BROKEN HEART I WOULD HAVE DONE IT TOO D:

Oh, this was bittersweet. I love it because it's perfect, and yet... oh, to think of both of them wanting to be together and knowing they never can be, not really...

Wow, you're good :)

Thank you muchly! :)

I intend to watch the rest of the series with my new 'bittersweet' slash goggles. As far as I'm concerned, all this happened just before the Poisoned Chalice, and I'm hoping this will make up for the lack of any real involvement between them!!!

Oh. This was brilliant. I love the misunderstanding at the beginning, when Arthur thinks Merlin keeps looking for Gwen because he's found love with her, when in reality it's because he's wrestling with his own feelings for Arthur. Beautifully, painfully sweet. Thanks for the read :)

I love writing pieces where characters are making incorrect assumptions about each other - there's so much potential for making them clash and giving them plenty of angst!

Thank you very much for your lovely comment :)

Oh, that was so wistfully, beautifully sad... I loved it.

Thank you :)
I'm so glad it came across as sad rather than just excessively soppy and melodramatic!!
