    Summary

    First, there is the rage, like nothing Arthur has ever known. It’s hot, hotter than anything, hotter than the kitchen ovens and the blacksmith’s forge and dragon’s breath. It fills him to the brim and carries on, washing over him in waves that scald, and, as Arthur looks around him at the carnage, the man at its centre, he has no idea how he is ever meant to let go of it.

    “I can explain,” Merlin says, his eyes still blazing as he kneels there, charred by the fires he lit, blood on his hands. So much blood. “Arthur, sire, please, I can explain.”

    First, there is the rage, and then there is a knife at Merlin’s throat.

    One of the first Merlin stories I read, and it had a huge impact on me

    ‘Merlin, please don’t go. It doesn’t mean anything. Please.’

    He doesn’t turn around, knowing it would undo him. He grips the doorknob, knuckles white, twists it in unison with the force twisting his windpipe until surely air will never be sufficient again.

    ‘It never means anything, unless you’re the person being hurt.’

    The door closes behind him, locking him out of their life and apartment.
