Summary
In the cold and shadowed streets of late 1800s Camelot, Gwaine works until his hands bleed. He is a man drowning in debt, grief and ale, seeking any job that might quiet his thoughts. The town is a stranger to him, filled with ghosts and fog, offering little more than bruised knuckles and sleepless nights. Until one night he meets a man unlike any other.
Hiding in his old manor, in the town that made him the creature he was, Merlin lives a careful life, veiling his true self from the world. But when a reckless dock worker crosses his path, bleeding and unafraid, Merlin finds his control slipping.
Or: the one where a centuries-old vampire and a tired, hopeless man fall in love in the Victorian era

Summary
Heading through to the kitchen, Merlin went to flick the kettle on, stopped by the note propped up against it. ‘Bedroom ;) xxx’ it read in a familiar, untidy scrawl—although the author had evidently tried his best to print it slightly more neatly than usual. Merlin shook his head at the hand-drawn winky face, before actually taking in what the note said. He took the stairs two at a time, crashing into his childhood bedroom, stopping dead a step inside the doorway.
Gwaine surprises Merlin with an early Christmas gift.

Summary
T.W. Grief/mourning, references to the end of this fucking awful show that I love way too much!
It took well over a full moon cycle for Merlin to be able to push open Gwaine’s chambers door. Well over a moon cycle before he could even make it into the knight’s halls without the heavy weight of remorse and regrets forcing him onto the ground with his breath refused to enter his lungs. Well over a moon cycle of a loud type of grief he was so very unaccustomed to letting see the light of day.
i.e Gwaine left behind a letter for Merlin before he left to go try to deal with Morgana.
