The Waiting Tree (1/2)

[ras_elased]

IDEK what this is. I tried writing fluffy kisses, I really did, but I've had this image in my head forever, and I just couldn't put it off any longer. Still not sure if I like how it turned out, but here goes anyway.There is a tree by a lake. The tree is gnarled and twisted with age, trunk bent and stooped like an old man, branches reaching towards the water's edge. The trees around it are young, their slim trunks stretching upwards as if trying to show the old tree how it's done. Their trunks are unmarred, but the old tree has a symbol carved into its thick bark, its meaning lost to history. Merlin remembers carving it, but even he no longer remembers the exact translation, the ancient memory pushed out by newer ones. But he remembers tracing over the lines each time he visits the tree, enough times that now the grooves are wide and deep enough to fit a man's hand inside, the edges polished smooth like the etchings of a weathered gravestone, even if the rune has been reduced to a meaningless squiggle

I love how this subverts the legend and the kiss and the fact they get an happily ever after. ♥

Oh lovely, lovely, lovely! I love Arthur awakening in a story and this was beautifully done. Very vivid, very sweet. Really excellently done, thank you for writing it!

Breath-taking and beautifully emotional. I like the tree parts, how it lasted so long, and that it's there they meet again. Really cute how they can go right into calling each other idiot and prat!

Re: The Waiting Tree (2/2)

[ras_elased]

Thank you! And I feel like they just wouldn't be the Merlin and Arthur we know if they didn't affectionately insult each other to cover their true feelings. Oh, boys! ♥
