“I am horrible at this! Words, feelings…” Arthur scrunched up his nose. “I just can’t seem to express myself. And that was all fine and dandy when I just had to fight bandits and hope you’d be impressed but now that we’re together it’s just- it’s unbearable!”

Summary
Merlin tore his gaze away from the dead man in the bed. Immediately, it fell upon a book that lay open on the bedside table.
"To break the curse placed upon the prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot," it read, "someone must sit by his side and read from this book, fanning his face and chasing the flies away, for three years, three hours and three minutes."
(Retelling of a Persian fairy tale)

Summary
"There’s only a few of them around the office today. Most people have already gone home, taken the week off to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Arthur will have leave soon, too. It’s a long drive to Camelot Manor, and the roads will be packed with other people desperate to go home.
Not that Arthur is desperate. He isn’t even sure he’s really going home."

Summary
“I’m full,” Arthur declared the next morning, pushing his plate away.
“What on earth are you talking about?” Merlin asked, motioning at the heaps of food still piled on it. “You barely ate anything!”

Summary
“What building is that?” Arthur asks suddenly, gesturing in the direction of a tall tower, a few rectangular windows lit up in yellow.
Merlin ponders for a moment, but in the darkness all the usual landmarks disappear.
“I don’t know,” he admits. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.”
He waits for Arthur to laugh at him, but his friend just nods, gaze still fixed upon the city. Only then does Merlin realise that he had meant the words. Standing here, in this strange and hazy night, it feels as if the city before him is not the one he has lived in for years, but another, made entirely for them. A city full of lights that he has never seen before, and that are only here because Arthur looked upon them.
