Summary
The Prince still stares at the Throne, occasionally throwing a glance to the crown next to it and Merlin does what he always does when Arthur is bothered by something, he does something so treasonous that he’s forced to shout at Merlin rather than stew in his own thoughts. Quickly striding up the short three steps and across the platform, Merlin throws himself down on the Throne, a violent act of treason. Arthur is merely staring at him as though he is the stupidest and most astounding person he’s seen. “What- Merlin what on earth are you doing? You cannot sit there, even the stupidest of people know that!” Merlin shrugs, stretching out like a cat.
“It’s just a chair Arthur,”
“It’s the bloody Throne!”
“A fancy chair then,”Or; Arthurs scared of the Throne and becoming a king, Merlin decides to remind him it's merely furniture
Or or; I have an unhealthy obsession with Throne and Crown scenes.

Summary
"To Merlin, he was more. To Merlin, he was his heart's beloved, the other half of his soul. To Merlin, he was the sun and the moon and the stars, and all that was good and kind in this world. He knew, in his heart of hearts, though he searched every day, that his beloved had not reincarnated yet. He knew, for he would know Arthur anywhere. He would know him by the way his feet struck the Earth, and his shadow darkened the ground. He would know him by the way his skin folded when he smiled and the way his aura seemed to light up the world around him. He would know him blind. He would know him were he blind and mute and deaf, and Arthur dumb. He would know him"
Merlin has lived without his beloved Arthur for hundreds of years. He has grown tired, and old, and sorrowful, and he mourns... for Camelot, for Gaius, for his mother, for everyone he has lost, but he mourns for Arthur the most.
He sits in a forest and laments the passing of his beloved. However, what he appears to have forgotten is that Arthur is not the Once King, but the Once and Future King....(Slightly inspired by The Song of Achilles)

Summary
This story takes place after the Series Finale!
The Gillian family makes a trip out of the country once a year. This year is no different but with that tradition comes another one: Someone has to stay behind to play nursemaid. Jovana Hazel Gillian is the 'lucky' one this year and prepares for her summer to be filled with doing endless chores for a cranky, grumpy, old and ancient hooligan! Life isn't fair sometimes. But on the more positive side, there seem to be a few cool places to explore, friends to make, and to top it all off somebody seems to be stealing goats! Perhaps she can solve a mystery or two before summer's end?
Meanwhile, we get a glimpse into a familiar Warlock's life and how he has played a role in keeping magic hidden all these years later. The time for magic will only come when Arthur is back and Merlin is determined to have everything right this time. Although Merlin doesn't age and feels terribly lonely at times there are moments of reprieve. Those moments seem to involve a certain surprise he keeps encountering over the centuries. He's not certain if it's a curse or a blessing. It's a mystery he'll have to solve.
