   Summary

   *** Update Coming soon!!

   When Merlin realizes that this is the end, he starts to cry. He cries for Arthur, for Gwen, for Camelot, but most of all for the deep friendship that became true love that never got to grow. Merlin wraps his arms around Arthur's body, gently pulling the other man close. He's careful not to touch the bloodstained chainmail. "I love you," he whispers. "Don't leave me."

   "I hope you can forgive me for marrying Gwen," Arthur chokes out. Merlin sees he's crying too. Arthur reaches for Merlin's hand and grasps it tightly. "I've aways, always loved you more."

    

   I wanted to return to the canon-verse to write a fic that embodies Arthur and Merlin's intense friendship. I plan to loosely follow the series, interjecting Merlin/Arthur moments. This fic begins just after S2E1.
