    Summary

    “Merlin, why do these people speak like that?”
    “Like what?”
    “Just…like that. I don’t know, they just speak differently.”
    “Well, sure, it’s their accent.”
    “People in Ealdor have an accent? But you don’t…”
    “Oh, I do. It just shows when I’m tired or something. I really don’t notice but people usually tell me when my accent kicks in.”
    “Oh”.

    And Arthur makes his life's mission to hear Merlin’s accent.

    Summary

    What would have happened if the tears of Avalon, from the lake, had healing abilities and could bring people back to life?

    Arthur struggles with his own death after Camlann and coming back alive in Merlin's arms. Or rather, he struggles with being apart from Merlin for too long. (And with apart, I mean, not constantly touching.)

    Summary

    “When I first learned of the prophecy, they said I was the most powerful of all. That I could have anything I ever wanted. And yet… I never thought I could have you.”

    “You can have everything,” Arthur breathed, his grip tightening around Merlin’s hands as though they were the only thing keeping him upright.

    “Everything I have is yours. Everything I am is yours.”

    He he sighed out the words with such a heavy tone as if he had been waiting to utter them for a decade.

    He probably had.

    -----------------------------

    Summary

    Arthur looked nervous, and Merlin wanted to reassure him, thank him, drop to his knees and pledge an oath of loyalty as if Arthur hadn’t had one from him all along, but he couldn’t even move.

    “Merlin?” Arthur asked, suddenly much closer to him. He said something else, but Merlin couldn’t hear it. He was untethered, unable to find himself.

    Arthur’s hands landed on his shoulders, and Merlin inhaled sharply, suddenly feeling his feet on the ground, his sleeves on his wrists, the tears on his cheeks.

    “You with me?” Arthur asked.

    “Always,” Merlin said.

    Camelot has rules about touch. Merlin struggles with them until he realizes he doesn't have to.
