Summary
“I thought I‘d never see you again,” Arthur admits in a rush.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Merlin scoffs, turning away with an affectionate smile. Insubordinate, like Arthur remembers. “You don’t seriously think I’d ever truly leave you.”
“Yes, that is exactly what I thought,” Arthur thinks, almost hysterical. He spent twenty-nine summers without Merlin by his side—he doesn’t know what else he was supposed to believe.

Summary
Camelot, then:
If Merlin was born to serve Arthur, what will become of him now that Arthur is dead? He is nothing without his king, only a sorcerer with no use for his magic…
London, now:
When Merlin sits on a park bench reading, trying to ignore the group of young men playing football on the lawn, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever – or that he has reason to know better than anyone what "forever" really means.- Language:

Summary
“What’s your story?” Merlin asked, his eyes a bit more gentle than the gazes of a whole group of strangers.
Arthur hesitated, his mouth thick. “…I lost my leg.”
Merlin’s look at him didn’t change; his eyes didn’t go soft and pitying. He didn’t ask invasive questions. Instead, he said “My fiancé died. Here. While I was overseas.”
The bottom fell out of Arthur’s stomach. “Shit.”
