Summary
He holds the very accumulation of a human soul in his hands. It’s not as warm as the last time Alex let him in; it’s cooling as it’s illumination dies. “Please,” he mumbles. “Please.” He can’t hold the connection between them any longer and he finds himself spat out into reality again. Something trickles from his nose and he wipes blood with a sniffle. He can still feel Alex like a dying flame facing harsh winds that pose a threat to its very existence.

“He really cares about you,” said Liz, as if this was news. Alex guessed it might be for most of the world. “We were worried how we’d find you. Wanted him out of the way in case he brought the building down.”
“Right,” said Alex. He’d paused for too long, then, and it was letting things catch up with him.

Summary
When he wakes up he’s cold. The sheets are wrapped around his waist and he doesn’t have a shirt on and it takes him an unnecessarily long time to push himself upright and identify his surroundings. As consciousness creeps in along with its twin sister, wakefulness, Mikey groans aloud and flops back onto the bed.
He’s in his house. He’s in his bed. He’s still alone.
The grief rockets through him like a lance to the heart. He rolls over and presses his face into the pillow to process the way that disappointment swallows him, settling over his shoulders light a weighted blanket.
No more.

“Alright,” Alex said, pressing his cheek into Michael’s palm. “I’d appreciate it then. And Michael,” Alex paused, “I do trust you.
Michael’s breath caught in his chest and he bit back the sharp humor that defensively came to mind. Even after all this time spent with Alex, there was a lingering fear that nipped at his heels and hid in the shadows of his brain.
“Let’s put it to the test then, Private.”

Summary
They lay there silently, enjoying each other’s warmth and company, the last remnants of fear fading away. Michael watched with a smile as Alex pulled the blanket up closer around his face, his nose scrunching as the soft material tickled it. The pad of his thumb was running back and forth along Alex’s wrist where their hands had found each other under the covers, the repetitive motion helping to calm them both.
He was beginning to think that Alex had drifted off when he broke the silence with a half-muffled whisper. "How did you know how to do that?”

Summary
“If the king is so concerned about Merlin,” he asks, looking at Leon, “Why does he always take him along on quests and patrols? It’s not necessary to bring a servant, and he’s clearly worried—”
Leon smiles. “We’ve often asked the same thing,” he says, and shrugs. “But I don’t think Merlin would allow himself to be left behind, so any argument is moot.”
“He could order him,” Mordred says.
“Merlin would just follow,” Leon says. “It’s easier to include him from the start. Sometimes, I think those two just need to be close to each other. Hard enough to keep them apart anyway, even at the beginning, when they were just constantly sniping at each other.”
When Mordred looks back, Arthur’s arm is around Merlin’s shoulder, and he is smiling broadly. Merlin’s eyes are bright and focused on Arthur, and his lips are tugged upwards, as if he can’t quite stop himself.
Merlin loves Arthur to the point of fear, Mordred realises.
