All These Years

Summary:

Arthur thinks about what led them here.

Work Text:

It had been years, years, since the day the gangly young man with a wit to match his courage and his foolhardiness had saved his life; pulling him out of the way of a sorceress’ blade.
And in all these years he’d stood beside him, guiding him, being his strength when he hadn’t realized he’d needed it, pulling and pushing him forward even when he felt all hope was gone, sharing his successes and his failures, grieving together and rejoicing in equal measure.
And now all these years later, he stood at his side still- guiding, supporting, ruling the greatest kingdom ever known. Fulfilling a destiny he’d once only half-heartedly believed in. But he had believed, at times he believed for the both of them. And it had come to pass.
Would Albion go down in history the way he believed it would that he did not know, but he knew, here, now, all of Albion lay before them, united and strong.
And through it all at his side always his friend, lover, confidant- Merlin.
