Summary
“Arthur.”
Merlin is stumbling, barefoot, ungainly, down to the water’s edge before he has even made sense of what he’s seeing. He stands there, too hopeful to breathe, and watches the spot where the water tangles.
A hand. A head. Shoulders, a cape of water, and Merlin is running, crashing through the water, to the figure climbing out of the lake.
They meet where the water is waist-deep, and there they stop, several feet apart.
But it isn’t Arthur.
It’s Merlin.
Or, a grieving warlock tries to bring back his king.

Summary
Arthur didn’t know how to reconcile the Merlin that still existed in his head, big-eared and clumsy and glib, with the one who sat beside him, who looked at him with golden eyes, and spoke so easily of fate.
Or, trapped at the bottom of a lake, Arthur must come to terms with Merlin’s magic.

Summary
“Merlin.”
His hair, his eyes, his smile. Merlin knew it all by heart, but still it took him by surprise. It— the wonder, the love, the ache— crowded everything else out.
“Arthur,” he returned, and could not help but smile.
His name had always sounded like a smile.
“Hū lange slēp ic?”
Merlin froze.
Or, Arthur comes home— but what does it mean to come home, when the word for home has changed?
