Author: andiwould
Title: Unreachable.
Rating: R, because of reasons.
Pairing/s: Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Gwaine.
Word Count: 1k
Summary: It’s been ten years since everything changed, since Albion was born. Since Merlin’s life turned upside down, when the bonds of a friendship were cut down and replaced by those of duty, when Merlin stopped assisting Arthur every morning and night and started only seeing him at council, at banquets and fests; when he stopped sharing jokes and smiles and learnt to live with only furtive, frustrating looks reminding him that what he most wanted was the only thing he couldn’t have.

Oh, nicely done. Very sad, with the inevitability of place and rank and duty.
