( Everything )

When Arthur weds Merlin, there is no big audience. There are no musicians with their sweet-sounding echos in the throne room. There are no flowers, no wreaths, no elaborate decorations.

Only the King and his sorcerer, and a ribbon bonding their entwined hands the color of Pendragon red.

They stand on the balcony, overlooking the stars. Merlin faces Arthur, looks up at him like he's the only thing he's ever known, the most beautiful thing, and Arthur gazes back with the night sky reflected in his eyes.

And it is time.

Their lips move together and their words become united, and it's like they've known what to say--been waiting for the syllables to fall from their lips like gentle leaves in Autumn--like this:

You are the blood of my blood,
the bone of my bone.
I give you my body so that
we two might become one.
I give you my Spirit
'til our life shall be done.

The Priest begins to say, "The Lord mercifully with his favor look upon . . . " but his voice is drowned out by the beating of two synchronized hearts, pounding loud enough for all of Camelot to hear even in the middle of the black, quiet night.

Merlin can barely wait for the last of the words to finish before he presses his lips to Arthur's, eagerly, saying without words I love you and I am yours, and Arthur smiles into the kiss because he's known that all along.
After it ends, they stay there, locked, linked, silhouettes in the shadows shaped like two becoming one.

"I wanted to show you to the world," Arthur mutters into Merlin's hair, "I want everyone to know you're mine."

But Merlin shakes his head. "That doesn't matter. Look what we've got."

Maybe the people of Camelot won't ever know that while tucked away in their beds, King Arthur finally wed the love of his life.

But the stars do.

They had each other. Each other, and the stars.

And Merlin lifts a hand to the sky, tracing a golden streak into the dark blue night, and Arthur gazes up, eyes wide, and he whispers, "We've got everything".

I am curling at the edges
You are ripping at the seams
From what used to be a
white-yellow spark is
left only a small gleam
of once was.
Our words go in circles,
building speed and dragging
with them all the lies
crammed in between.
Sometimes you were gone
when you were here,
and my reaching eyes
could not let myself see
your spirit turning away
from me.
Onto bigger things.
Better words.
So take your highs and lows
(from which I pulled you
down, brought you up)
and walk away.
Any last thing that I might say
is snarled in the web
of the catch in my throat.
Open your new wings
and I'll spread mine.
Take hold of your dreams as
they float in the sky.
(Because you began
learning to fly
when you left,
high,
without goodbye.)
Once more, I will
lift you off the ground
and let you go.
With nothing left here
but words.
An echo.
