   Summary

   Merlin frowned, and tried to inhale, but choked on a cough. He opened his mouth, trying to speak but his mouth was sticky and full and he felt warm, warm, warm, warm spilling down down down down…

   The world tilted on its axis a little bit, and Merlin leant into Arthur’s body. Why was the world tilting?

   Arthur’s face shifted from annoyance to horror.
