Drabble: Primum Mobile (Merlin/Arthur, "Stars")

AN: Written for Merlin100's Prompt #7: Stars.

Primum Mobile

I love the imagery <3 and that one long sentence.

Reminds me a bit of that hug scene in Brokeback Mountain *g*

Mm, this is lovely. So soft and quiet. I am continually amazed at just how much you can fit into 100 words. (And I love the title, for I am a geek.)

Thanks! The thing is, I too am weirdly fascinated by just how much you can stuff into a drabble--it's a shockingly capacious form.

As one geek to another: *g*
