    Summary

    Just as Merrick leant more heavily against the door, thinking that he ought, really, to go, it was pulled sharply open, sending him stumbling. He caught himself on the doorframe, just.
    When he looked up, his greeting died on his lips; because before him stood not Keita, but an unfamiliar young man.
    An unfamiliar young man who looked decidedly dishevelled, with an inside-out jumper shoved on over his nightclothes. He held a small candleholder. The wind howled in through the doorway, and the flame guttered in the wax. The man squinted a little as if its insubstantial light hurt his eyes. He had obviously, very obviously, just been woken-up. Well, fuck, thought Merrick, drunkenly and pointlessly.
    ‘Can I help you?’ said the man, sounding both sceptical and unwilling.

     

    (a year or so after the events of Pepperharrow, Merrick comes to Filigree Street to visit Keita, and finds something he hadn't expected)

    Summary

    Gimli, freshly-wakened, was lying with his head propped on one hand, his blanket at his waist. And he said, his voice morning-hoarse, "If my memory doesn't fail me, we'll be reaching the River Limlight soon. I'd dearly love a wash."

    Legolas's heart seized and tightened. The Limlight was in the very north of the forest, and once across it, they would emerge from their easy wandering, cracking out of the chrysalis to the pain of the open air. No more Fangorn, no more careless peace, no more Gimli at dawn stretching his muscles limber and grumbling about the wear of a bootsole.

    And all the future losses lined themselves up.

    Summary

    Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.

    Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.

    A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?
