Set #1
Set #2
Set #3
In Sickness And In Health
Morgana's done this before.
She remembers doing this with the druid boy. She was so worried then, that he would die. Trying to whisper words of comfort while trying to cool his brow, and feeling like she was failing at both.
This time it's different. Gaius saw Gwen a while ago, and gave her something for the fever. He said that she should be fine, as long as she rests and drinks water. Morgana doesn't mind helping her with the water.
Gaius visits again, that night, and says she's doing well. When he leaves, Morgana showers Gwen's brow in kisses.
~*~
Dress To Impress
Secretly, Merlin loves dressing Arthur. In fact, it's a case of 'the more clothes, the better', because that means he can take even longer doing it. It gives him a chance just to look at Arthur, from almost every angle. Arthur rarely seems to notice what Merlin's doing - he's had people dressing him for as long as he can remember, and the way it is done has barely changed in all that time. Still, Merlin's careful not to stop and stare for too long.
Arthur doesn't understand Merlin's obsession with dressing him. He much prefers taking Merlin's clothes off.
~*~
Straight From The Horse's Mouth
He likes going for a ride with the boy and his... pet? Whatever the other boy is, he gets treated worse than the horses when there are other humans around. The boy rides, the pet walks, and the humans notice nothing.
But when no-one can see, the pet rides too.
Sometimes, when they're both up there together, they get him to stop. They don't just sit there, he knows that much. They move far too much for that, he can feel it.
He doesn't mind, but he prefers it when they both leave him to go into the woods alone.
~*~
Finding Out
Arthur knows that he will never look at his father the same way again.
He shouldn't have been there to see it in the first place. But he had been looking for Merlin everywhere, and Gaius nearly always knew where Merlin was.
He tries to convince himself that what he saw was completely natural, nothing to worry about. It wasn't as if he and Merlin hadn't...
He doesn't finish that thought. He doesn't want to. The thought of that thought makes him want to cry. He almost does.
Eventually he tells Merlin. Merlin winces slightly, and gets Arthur a drink.
~*~
Dark Dreams
It had felt like a dream. A dream in which she'd felt so attracted, so close to the woman. Like a lover.
Only, when she woke up, the dream didn't end.
The feelings gone, all that was left was her and Nimueh - Nimueh looking at her like one would look at a precious jewel. Morgana had screamed then, but Nimueh vanished. There was no trace of her to be found by the castle guards.
Morgana snuggled closer to Gwen. If magic could make people feel things like that against their will, she understood why the king had outlawed it.
~*~
Sneaking Out and Getting In
It should be harder, Morgana thinks, to get out of the castle so late on Christmas Eve. There should be guards around, and people asking her where she's going.
But it's not hard at all, and soon she's with Gwen, and not much else matters.
~
Merlin, however, is having a horribly difficult time getting to Arthur's chambers. Everyone he meets asks him to do some errand or other. He can't help but wonder when all the other servants are.
An hour after he sets off, he finally gets there, and it's worth everything he's had to do to get there.
