Summary
“I have magic.”
Arthur couldn’t remember another time when the stringing of alphabets had invited such stillness to the room that he could hear the embers cracking and the shaky inhale of Merlin.
Merlin. The one who was responsible for the blanket of silence, someone Arthur never thought could actually shut their mouth for half a candlemark.
Guess he was wrong about quite a few things about his wayward servant.

Summary
“Perhaps we are doing her a favor then,” he says, pausing to chew the inside of his cheek before adding in a measured, careful voice. “I wouldn’t want to live without my love, either.”
Arthur whips around in the saddle to stare at him, eyes hard and dark, like the storm clouds building on the distant horizon. “What love? You haven’t got a love,” he snaps, like he’s the sole keeper of all Merlin’s secrets.

Summary
When Merlin kneels by the bed again to pull the covers over the prince and bid him goodnight, Arthur grabs his hand in the two of his, squeezing as though Merlin is the life vest keeping him afloat. “Stay,” he whispers, voice shaking, both from the cold and something else. He’s barely awake, one foot still in the world of dreams, the other, buried beneath the sheets and blankets, the only things between him and the unforgiving winter air. “Stay with me.”
———
It’s winter in Camelot and the chill spares no man, awake or asleep. When she sets her sights on Arthur, Merlin is there to bring back the warmth.
