Summary
Alright. Merlin’s going to be honest. Is the absolute best at hiding his magic from people? No. Is he a damn sight near better than some other bastards would be if they had his magic? Yes, yes, he is, thank you very much. They would do quite well to remember that he is magic, and he’s had it since he was born, so he knows what he’s doing when it comes to knowing that he has it. Yes, thank you, he doesn’t go around doing every single thing he could with magic because well, then he’d never get to do much of anything ever again.
And that would be boring.

Summary
As Arthur dies in Merlin's arms at Camllan he confessed the love he's held close to his heart all this time. In his shock Merlin doesn't say it back, until it's too late. His grief shakes the earth, claws the sky, and tears reality asunder. For the first time in his life he holds nothing back and in his soul he has one desire. A second chance.
His magic complies.

Summary
The problem with Merlin is that he doesn’t say nearly enough for all the talking he does. Honestly, the man can ramble on for hours and hours without being interrupted and never say one word about himself. He’s spoken about how Arthur sits wrong for longer than a council meeting for goodness’ sake. And yet in all that time, he’s never said a single thing about himself.
It would be impressive if it didn’t get them into nearly so many stressful situations that could’ve been avoided had he asked for help.
