Summary
When Uther banishes Arthur from Camelot, Arthur is certain it's the end of him and everything he had to offer to the world.
Enter Merlin and the ragtag group of misfits he and Arthur collect on an adventure that takes them across the entire kingdom. Grappling with who he is now and who he will become, Arthur embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, fate, and what it truly means to be a king of prophecy.
“Merlin??”
Merlin drops the reins and spins around, “Arthur!”
Merlin beams. Arthur’s eye twitches.
“What, exactly, are you doing here?”
Merlin makes a face, “What does it look like? I stole some horses.” His lip quirks up, “And some of cook’s pies. But that was just because she’s been such a harpy all this time and she deserved it.”

He whistles. Merlin laughs. When they settle under the blankets, Arthur finds himself turning to his right and watching the fluttering of Merlin’s lashes as he sleeps. He’s drawn to the rise and fall of his chest, the certainty of it. Arthur’s had many things in his life; riches, nursemaids, knights, glory, and fame. Not one of them have lasted, not one of them has stayed.
Did the universe know his mother’s death would leave a scar he would never stop picking? Did it know he would grow up achingly lonely, tearing away at the skin because the wound was proof he deserved it? Did it weep for him? Did it wish to comfort him so much it put a piece of itself into Merlin, creating a tapestry of destiny just to tie together both of their strings?
Without thinking, Arthur’s hand reaches out, the back of his fingers brushing Merlin’s cheek. Merlin mumbles his name, burrowing closer and Arthur feels his heart pulse. He draws his hand back quickly, before Merlin has the chance to wake and turns to the other side, drawing his hand against his mouth and holding it there, trying to calm his breathing.
He wonders if anyone else has ever touched Merlin like that. He doesn’t understand what it means when he wants to heave at the very thought.

Do you even know? Merlin wants to ask as Arthur takes him in hand as he slides himself inside. Merlin pushes down, wants Arthur to engulf him, wants to feel like every bit of him is tethered by the golden threads he sees surrounding Arthur at every moment, all of him a living sunbeam. Do you know how much the earth thrums in adoration for you? Do you know how quick the sea is to reach the shore just to see you? Do you know how gentle the mighty wind is when it strokes your cheek?
Have you ever wondered why all of magic was reincarnated into a single man just for you? Have you never thought about how much the land aches to be with you, if it created this body made of blood and clay just to touch you?
