I posted this FF on Ao3 so I thought I'd bring it here and see what you guys think of it. I OWN NOTHING! All characters from Merlin belong to their respective owners (BBC, Shine, and Fremantle) and legend. Merlin has waited centuries for his King to return to him... His first and only true love. He'd loved Freya, but he realized it was different. His dreams soar through each night, only for him to awake alone once more. It's been over fifteen-hundred years of only seeing and touching Arthur in his deepest slumber... Waking in the middle of the night to cry himself back to sleep so he can face each day ahead. Never falling in love again, only lust when the loneliness gets to be too much of a burden to overcome by himself. Each night he begs Arthur... Stay With Me... As he holds his love close only to watch him fade away. Merlin feels as if he'd failed the man he loved and loves to this day. He wonders if the immortal life he's forced to lead is his punishment, waiting for a day that feels as if it will never come since Arthur's destiny wasn't fully realized. Merlin blames himself but has not lost the spark of hope that lives in his heart. It fires his dreams, and they keep him going.
