Fandom: Merlin
Spoilers: 5x13
Ship: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: Say it with me now ~ me ... don't ... own.
Summary: You would think given how long he has been waiting for Arthur’s return that it would be something that is on his mind 24/7. It's not. Not anymore. For the first one hundred lives, sure, every day was a torturous wait, each minute slowly ticking by when all he could think was Arthur, Arthur, Arthur... But it’s been thousands of years, millions of lifetimes, and still he waits. He doesn't think about Arthur every day anymore. In fact, he only thinks about him a few times a year. It might sound callous, but in truth it’s anything but. It’s self-preservation, it’s staving off a longing so bone deep it physically hurts. And on the rare occasions he lets himself think about Arthur, he spends the whole day just sitting there and remembering, allowing the memories to wash over him like the sea, ancient and powerful and all-consuming.
Authors Notes: For my dear Kat, who wanted, and I quote: I WANT A FIC WHERE REINCARNATED!ARTHUR IS AN AUTHOR WHO IS FAMOUS FOR A SERIES OF BOOKS HE’S WRITTEN ABOUT KING ARTHUR AND MERLIN (AND THEIR LOVE), NOT REALIZING THEY’RE HIS OWN MEMORIES UNTIL MERLIN READS THE BOOKS AND REALIZES HIS ARTHUR HAS RETURNED AND GOES TO FIND HIM. Since I have a thing for declarations of love via novels I thought I would try and write it for her.
( Merlin, a young sorcerer of twenty years old, arrives in Camelot only to find he must keep his magic secret in a kingdom that has outlawed sorcery. There he meets Arthur, prince and heir, and mutual dislike instantly follows. But Merlin and Arthur have a shared destiny, and when Merlin is appointed as Arthur's manservant, he vows to help Arthur become the great king he is destined to be. Dislike gives way to admiration, and these two men, two halves of the same coin, start out on a journey which proves that soul mates arrive in the least likely of circumstances. In this, the first of five novels, join Arthur and Merlin as they take their first tentative steps towards a friendship and destiny that will unite a kingdom and create a legend that will echo throughout time... )
