a little snippet of a Merthur AU i'm working on - in which Arthur was sent by Uther to be raised in Ealdor unaware of his true identity and grew up alongside Merlin, always knowing about his magic. one day Arthur was told the truth and brought back to Camelot to take on his royal responsibilities, and Merlin followed. Merlin is assigned as Arthur's servant thanks to an extra helping of Uther's cruel sense of irony. things are Different Now and there are oodles of mutual pining. yay!
(can u tell i don't write longfic or proper summaries??? i have a vague outline and this snippet and not much else, lmao)
tagging @mayapleiades 'cause i know you've been jazzed about this one :D
-
“So what's it like, then?” Merlin asks. My lord sticks in his throat, still foreign to him after all this time, and soon enough the appropriate moment to tack it on passes. His question hangs heavy in the air, feeling wrong without the tinge of a deference that had never stood between him and Arthur before.
“What's what like?” Arthur asks, though he must know. They talk around each other, now; in riddles, in stunted queries and half-answers.
Merlin prods with a stick at the little campfire he'd conjured, inhales the scent of applewood smoke, relishes the burn in his lungs. He hadn't exactly expected it to be different, but the fact that Camelot's late autumn smells just the same as it had back in Ealdor makes things worse, somehow.
Arthur looks nearly the same to Merlin, too, with his windswept hair, cornsilk-fine and shining pale gold in the weak sun, and his cheeks bitten rosy by the cold. In their past life, he would have welcomed Merlin to lend him warmth by way of magic, easy as anything, but now he wears fine kidskin gloves, a fur-lined cloak dyed a deep red that stands out like a bloodstain against the dying underbrush. Grudgingly, Merlin must admit that Arthur's new finery suits him. Still, he hesitates to reconcile this Arthur with the one that can live on only in his memory.
"Being crown prince," he says. Goes on despite the shuttering of Arthur's gaze. "Your people adore you. You've everything you could desire." Don't you miss home? he wants to push. Merlin himself misses his mother, and Arthur's parents too, who still write to Merlin asking after the son who was always meant to be taken from them.
"Not everything," Arthur murmurs. It's the most candid Arthur has been with him in months. "Far from everything."

“It’s all right, Merlin,” he said softly. “I’m here.”

dear friends, i have set up a ko-fi account!
i have never had a ko-fi before, but i have also never been in this sort of financial pickle before. i'm now in a tough spot where every little bit, in any amount, will help and would be immeasurably appreciated.
my wife and i (and our little senior rescue dog) are finally set to be able to leave our very red state by mid-april and move to what seems to be a much friendlier city in which to be queer and generally thrive! this is amazing and much needed for us. however, moving states is so expensive and we unfortunately have virtually no savings and limited help from our families & employers.
anything i receive will be going toward things like apartment application fees/deposit/rent, moving & travel costs, costs associated with transferring my mental health counseling licensure for work in our new state, and groceries/essentials.
if you have already helped me out recently, please know that it meant the world to me! i am also figuring out a general pricing structure so i can offer art commissions, so stay tuned for that coming soon! and if we have already discussed a commission i'll be working on for you, i will be making that happen ASAP. <3
please consider donating to my ko-fi here, if you would like to and are able!
a big thanks and much love to everyone,
nick

The Kaer Morhen theme plays in the distance
Nah, I’m kidding, it’s actually Drink Up, There’s More, because that’s the only tune my last brain cell plays on it’s tin whistle
