“Fundamental Imperfection” by starlingthefool 

fy-merlinxarthur:

PLOT: In which an argument about Dickens leads to a Twitter scandal, broken bones, midnight conversations, and transatlantic longing. (Or, an AU with Arthur and Merlin as moderately famous authors.)
RATING: NC-17 (Arthur/Merlin, modern!AU)
#words count: 12k

Arthur looks at his notebook, where he’s distracted himself by scribbling a sprawling galaxy of ideas for a new project. A novel, maybe, or a collection of essays; it could go either way at this point. Near the bottom of the page, he’s written the following:
You’re wrong about everything, except for the things I’m wrong about. I’ve fallen in love with exploring that fault line between us.
He adds a note below: Or: why literary arguments are the best kind of foreplay.

 #every time i see this on my dash i am more and more enamored by it #just the way arthur’s head does this little dip as he leans closer#and the way his eyes get just a little heavier - like he’s closing them #and the way merlin is watching him with absolute wonder - lips parted eyes open wide and those FUCKING EYELASHES #and the way he has his hand on arthur’s arm just… holding him there #and they’re both leaning in just a little closer #and i can practically hear the fire crackling next to them and the crickets chirping in the background #and the creak of the trees in the wind and the leaves rustling on the ground #and basically the entire universe whispering ”kiss him” #whoops tag feels (merlsy)

Before he can call out, Merlin turns to him. His eyes are as blue as Percival remembers, but they’re empty, cold, lifeless. He looks broken and lost. Merlin seems to have aged years since the knight had last seen him. “Merlin…?” Percival asks quietly. “Arthur’s gone.” As Merlin replies, he closes his eyes and turns away. Percival bows his head in silence. “Long live the Once and Future King,” Merlin murmurs. Percival doesn’t answer.  

Merlin continues, “The battle is won, but Camelot has lost.” Percival swallows against the lump in his throat. Camelot lost many in the battle. Percival’s seen the bodies, he’d once known the faces, the men. The guard who stood on night watch with him. The old knight who’d been the first of Camelot’s men to welcome Percival. The solider who’d once stopped Gwaine from attacking a barkeep. Gwaine. Gwaine is gone, too.  

Percival blinks against the growing sting of tears. He knows Merlin and Gwaine were close and Merlin deserves to know but after Arthur… “Gwaine’s dead,” his voice betrays him with a croak. Merlin simply nods and looks over his shoulder at Percival, tears in his eyes. “I know. I felt it.” Percival frowns but doesn’t ask. He’s not sure he wants to know.

“It was strange, at first. When it happened, the earth seemed to shake with small tremors, and the birds stopped singing, if only for a moment. Everything dimmed, my vision went black and white, and I just knew. It happened when Elyan died, too. And Lancelot… And Arthur.” Merlin sighs and Percival doesn’t think Merlin is talking to him any more.

“I think it’s magic, from the Round Table, perhaps, or maybe it’s just me. Kilgarrah might know…” He trails off slowly, his voice nothing more than a mumbling whisper, talking of magic and dragons and destiny. If he’d been a stranger, Percival would have thought him a madman.

“Will you come back to Camelot?” He asks instead, and Merlin seems to snap out of his rambling. He stops and after a moment, he shakes his head. “No.” He crouches and brushes his fingers over the waters golden surface, as though caressing a lover’s cheek. “I am needed elsewhere.”

“Where will you go?” Merlin cups his hand in the water and lifts it up, watching as the droplets run between his fingers and splash against the water, breaking the smooth surface, shattering it like glass. “I’ll go wherever I’m needed.” He says and Percival nods slowly. “What do I tell the Queen and Gaius? What do I tell Camelot’s people?” Merlin’s shoulders stiffen and his voice is tired, yet strong, “Tell them their King is dead.”

Merlin stares down at the water, whispers something so faint Percival can’t hear, but from the small smile on Merlin’s lips, he knows the words are fond and affectionate. Then he stands and slowly walks from the water. “Tell them the Once and Future King rests in the waters of Avalon and his Sorcerer watches over him. Protecting him, like he always does.”

#tbh hearing them each say this was better than any kind of more direct ‘I love you’ #that part doesn’t need saying #and it never has #but the fact that they each made sure the other knew exactly how much they cared about and accepted them#entirely #completely #it means so much more than ‘I love you’ ever could (staticspatula)

myfoolisheart:

i know the magic reveal was kind of overshadowed by the whole arthur dying thing. but wow look at this moment we’ve only been waiting five fucking years for. and the way merlin had to choke the words out through his tears. like in the promo the words were said so clearly and we were all wondering who said them, merlin or dragoon, and then in the episode it wasn’t like that at all. also can we note arthur’s eyes and the way they widen and then look confused. ugh. such perfect acting here.

the look on arthur’s face when he watches merlin doing magic is nothing short of FOND by now

“all these years… you never once sought any credit.” “that’s not why i did it.”
