PROMPT #42
Author alba17
Drabble or Excerpt:
Canon setting:
He can’t bear it. The slick slide of red across Merlin’s mouth, the smoky dark smudges that bring out the blue of his eyes, eyelashes thick against his cheek. His face is flushed, bright spots of colour heating those eye-catching cheekbones. Arthur touches a finger to one, slides it across the jut of bone, as Merlin casts his eyes down, a tremor in his breath.
Arthur curls the tip of his finger under the neckline of the dress, the velvet dark against Merlin’s pale, pale chest; a palm presses against the flat plane, against the bodice meant to be filled with soft full breasts. Instead there’s the small tight nub of Merlin’s nipple rubbing through the fabric against Arthur’s hand, taunting. His fingers spread over the spare pectoral muscles, and Merlin’s chest heaves, sucking in a breath as he leans into the touch, eyelashes fluttering downward.
The elegant line of Merlin’s collarbone mesmerizes Arthur, newly exposed and free of its neckerchief as it is, the bone setting off the slim arch of the neck, long and lean, a slow glide up to his jaw. He imagines his tongue and lips on that smooth ivory skin, sharp sucks and bites leaving it marred with his brand for all to see. He takes a shaky breath, hands trailing down the furrows of Merlin’s narrow ribcage, coming to rest on the slim waist sheathed in velvet.
He looks up and their eyes meet, Merlin’s wide and dark, a midnight blue perfectly in tune with the colour of the dress.

Hello, there! I'd really love art that take its cue from the ending scene of this anon's fic, "This Hole Where You And I Will Sing." You can read it here! t's an underrated yet pretty amazing fic. I recommend reading through it first, with prepared tissues cause it's really sweet. But I must WARN you! There is major character death and if this bothers you, maybe skip to the next prompt. :(
I'm really in love with the image that the last few scenes paint. It would make my dreams come true if you could capture the powerful hope that's bursting through in the last paragraph. :)

Drabble or Excerpt:
"Is it true?" Arthur looked from Merlin to the small baby with blonde hair and blue eyes playing in the sand.
"You talked to Morgana." Merlin stared back with a look that was a mixture between fear and resignation.
It was a statement not a question, but Arthur confirmed it for him anyway. "Yes."
"I guess there's no point in denying it then?" Merlin asked.
"No," Arthur's jaw clenched. "But an explanation might be nice."
"What do you want me to say?" Merlin asked with a bone-weary exhale. "Do you really need to hear me tell you that she's your daughter? Is there even a point any longer in trying to explain that I' magic? Do I need to actually say it out loud? Admit that I don't have any idea how or why, but that I somehow managed to get pregnant? Confess that, instead of telling the truth, I ran away?"
Merlin sounded pained. His voice echoing the way that Arthur felt. Taking a small step closer, Arthur was careful not to make any sudden movements, too afraid that Merlin might spook and disappear again
"Maybe." Arthur nodded. "Maybe I do need to hear all of that from you." His chest tightened and he struggled to keep the emotions from welling up in him and showing so transparently on his face. "But what I really want to know is why?"
Merlin refused to meet Arthur's eyes. "I was afraid," he whispered.
Arthur closed the remaining distance between them in a blur, grabbing Merlin's hand firmly in his, tangling their fingers together with practiced ease. "I was afraid too-- afraid that I'd lost you forever."
