To Mend

Merlin had given Arthur some space, after…after he had laid out everything he was and tried to make him understand that he only ever had used it to help Arthur and Camelot, only to see the look in the king’s eyes then. Merlin had felt his heart break, and could still feel the shattered pieces ripping up his chest from the inside after Arthur had passed out from exhaustion again. This was everything terrible he had imagined would happen when he finally told him the truth - but up until this moment he had clung to some hope that Arthur maybe had known somewhere in his heart, and would accept him.

There was no one else in the woods at this point, and Merlin couldn’t bear sitting next to Arthur’s side, waiting for him to wake up and look at him like that again. He didn’t venture to far away, just far enough so that he could breath a little easier again. He used his magic to keep an eye on the surroundings, but only after a little while he actually heard Arthur’s voice call out. Merlin took a steadying breath before rushing back to his side. He was still his king, his friend, a man he would die for. Merlin’s heart might be broken, but he would still do everything for him.

“I’m here, Sire” Merlin answered, crouching down next to him, though further away than before. His eyes were cast down - he couldn’t meet his gaze. He tried to tell himself he had done what he needed to do to be safe in this kingdom that hated magic - and he had - but it still felt awful. “I have to get you to the lake of Avalon. There’s no other way to save you.” They had to keep moving, that Arthur was right about. “Come on, you have to get back onto the horse. We can’t waste anymore time.”

Arthur laid there. His jaw clenched and unclenched with his thoughts. This was infuriating. He was King. He was a warrior. he should be able to get up and just go home. Staying awake was even a struggle. Breathing was a struggle. This was not fair! There was so much to do. There was so much to take care of. So much injustice of this moment. His wife and child needed him. Camelot needed him. His people needed him. Death didn’t need him. He didn’t need death. The King just hoped his will to live could fight off the inevitable. The King just hoped it would keep him alive. There was too much to do. There was so much to fix. 

“Oh good, you came. Drop the Sire bit. We’ve known each other far too long to use that sort of language. Although, I don’t know how much I know you. You lied to me. I can’t forgive that right away. I can’t forget,” Arthur remarked when Merlin came to his side. “I still don’t understand why you stayed. I don’t understand why you didn’t convince me to lift the ban on magic when Mordred’s life was on the line. I was...  I was so close to doing it. Did you really think I was like my father? You must have to have kept mum.” He stopped and coughed. Oh, his chest burned with the effort to breathe. 

He nodded. “It’s magic, isn’t it? The lake is magic. But, why can’t you heal me, Merlin? You have magic. You can turn into an older lady and an ancient man and who knows what else. That seems like quite so magic to be able to do all that,” he asked, shifting and trying to get himself to his feet. His body felt heavy. His eyes felt tired. “However, if we must... we must. Merlin, I have get home. I’m going to be a father. I need there for my child.”

@andchicken + merlin sc!

     “Look, you can either eat what I brought or you can risk what that other servant made. You know, the one who we found the other day sleeping on the royal throne and whose only been here six weeks.” Merlin was already smirking in victory. Sure, Arthur was probably joking about how he didn’t want his food but they both knew he would end up eating it.

Arthur stared at the meal. He couldn’t even tell what it was. It looked gloppy and a mess. “You’ve been here two years, Merlin, and you brought me this. I don’t even know what this is,” he mumbled poking the bowl. “Did the hunting hounds make it instead of Caroline?” He was actually a little afraid of the food. 

[camelotskeeper]

“Are you alright in there? You’re so quiet.” (from andchicken)

( worried || accepting || @andchicken )

The voice snapped him out of his gloomy thoughts. Trying to put on a cheerful smile, he rolled his eyes as sarcastically as possible. “When I say something, I’m too loud, when I don’t I’m quiet - anyone ever tell you that you are very hard to please?” Merlin exclaimed, but he didn’t look at Arthur, so he wouldn’t see what Merlin was feeling. 

[andchicken-archive]

“You don’t have an in-between. You know that, right? When you talk, you are too loud. When you’re quiet, you are too quiet. It’s as if all the air has been sucked out of the room when you don’t speak,” Arthur countered. “So what is the matter? Why are you so silent? Don’t make me pull the royal card and demand you answer. Tell me... as your friend.”

“Why does it seem like everybody is out to kill me? Seriously, I can never catch a break.”

A bark of a laugh escaped his lips. “Oh Merlin, stop being so dramatic. Who would want to kill you? You’ll more likely lose your own head with how clumsy you are,” Arthur remarked.

‘is it my fault?’ (from andchicken)

SOFT ANGST STARTERS.

@andchicken

“Wh–Arthur, what in the world do you mean?” Gwen stammered, taken completely by surprise, confusion written plainly on her face. “Is what your fault? I don’t understand why you would ask me such a question so out of the blue.”

[andchicken-archive]

Arthur stared at the fire in the fireplace. A thin blanket was draped over his shoulders to keep the draft out. He ought to be asleep, Hunith and Merlin had gone off to bed hours ago. Sleep abated him. “Losing Camelot. Morgana turning... dark,” he replied. “Is it my fault?”

camelotskeeper‌:

“I did not mean- why do you have to be so difficult?”

“Because.... isn’t that a good enough reason? Come on, Merlin, talk to me. What troubles you so?”

My muse has been dead for seven years. They’ve suddenly shown back up alive and well. How does your muse react?

This existed somewhere, but I haven’t been able to find it and had someone ask me to remake it.
