1. Introduction

My name is Merlin Emrys, and I'm in love with my best friend Arthur Pendragon.

2. Love

There had always been something between the maidservant and the prince, companionship, friendship and after a while they discovered it was much more, much deeper than they first thought, it was love.

3. Light

Through all the darkness in Arthur's life he knew he could always count on Merlin to be his light.

4. Dark

There were times when, after all the darkness Merlin saw, she herself would feel the darkness, the evil, and only Arthur could lead her out of it…after all he was as much her light as she was his.

5. Seeking Solace

Merlin lay on her bed crying uncontrollably. Just under an hour ago she had heard word that her mother had passed away. She raised herself up off the bed and made her way to Arthur's chambers. Upon seeing her face Arthur sprung up from the table and surrounded her in his arms, letting her cry out more tears for the loss of her mother's life.

6. Break Away

Sometimes Arthur was…a little too protective and possessive and Merlin just had to break away, sometimes she'd go into the forests, maybe the lower town but never for too long, after all Arthur was very apologetic afterwards which lead to beyond amazing make up sex.

7. Heaven

Merlin often felt like she was in heaven, she was surrounded constantly by luxury, sometimes it was too much, but most of the times she was happy to be in heaven, because that was where Arthur was.

8. Innocence

Before Merlin and Arthur were married, she was completely innocent, free of sin…but now she was as sinful as they came.

9. Drive

Merlin had failed every driving test she ever took, it didn't help that her driving instructor was one of the most perfect men she had ever laid eyes upon.

10. Breathe Again

Merlin closed her eyes as her last breath left her body. Arms around her wrapped tighter and tears fell on her face, a voice whispered so slightly…

"Merlin, please, breathe, breathe for me again…"

11. Memory

Merlin, grey haired and wrinkled sat on a chair in the middle of the large living area, watching her grandchildren as they played with their toys. Her youngest grandchild, Lucy, came running up to her, a chunky book in her hands.

"Nana, what's this?"

Merlin took the book from her. On the front, engraved in gold lettering was 'Memories' and as she opened the book tears sprang to her eyes, the first photo was of her and Arthur on their wedding day, almost sixty years ago.

12. Insanity

Dr. Arthur Pendragon had been working at his current ospital for nearly a year when they had brought in a young girl, no older than eighteen. He had been assigned to her and after a while he soon found himself falling into insanity, insane from her love.

13. Misfortune

Merlin had always had bad luck, but as he stepped out into the road, a man grabbed him back and he fell into the arms of his saviour. He glanced up blues eyes meeting his own and for once in his life he thanked his bad luck.

14. Smile

Merlin had a magnificent smile, one Arthur would do anything to see.

15. Silence

Merlin ran a hand over the gravestone of her lost child, tears escaping from her eyes. Arthur placed a hand on her shoulder, he spoke no words, but the look in his eyes, the look of love, sorrow and compassion swimming around in those blue orbs spoke enough. They sat in the graveyard in silence, holding each other as the rain began to fall.

16. Questioning

"Where have you been?" Arthur growled at Merlin. The serving boy looked up at him confused.

"I was, mucking out the stables, sire." Arthur nodded, eyes narrowing.

"Then why were you talking to Sir Matthew?" Merlin rolled his eyes.

"Arthur, don't do this."

"Why not?"

"It's not attractive, the whole jealousy thing, trust me, I'd much rather have you than him."

"Really

Merlin rolled his eyes and leaned forward kissing Arthur's lips.

17. Blood

He could smell her blood from over a mile away. Within seconds he had travelled that distance and had pinned her against a wall with his great strength. A car passed by and its headlights lit to two up, allowing Arthur to see the girl's face. She was a raven haired beauty and Arthur immediately lost his grip and she fell to the floor. He glanced at her before speeding away.

18. Rainbow

Merlin danced around the kitchen, singing lowly along with the Wizard of Oz CD she currently had playing. Arthur walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and placed a kiss on her neck.

"I love it when you sing."

19. Grey

The sky was full of dark grey clouds, reflecting Merlin's mood. She and Arthur had, had a fight, one that had ended in screaming and tears from both of them. She breathed in a heavy breath before walking away from their house and into the woods near her home.

20. Fortitude

Merlin rose up from the ground, her eyes on the sorcerer before her and Arthur by his feet. She raised her hand and muttered a few words of magic and a beam of blue shot through the man's chest and he fell to the floor.

21. Vacation

Merlin sipped some ice tea as she gazed at the beautiful sea before her. She had begged Arthur to take her somewhere, just the two of them, a vacation, after all with all the stress his work was doing to him he needed one. Arthur had accepted after some…persuasion.

22. Mother Nature

Arthur watched as the woman danced around the forest, her movements matched that of the wind and she moved with it like they were the same being. She intrigued him, he would always watch her, but never spoke to her, but then she had turned around and smiled at him.

"Hello."

23. Cat

Merlin sat on the sofa, a small tabby cat in her lap. Arthur walked in and stopped as soon as he saw the cat.

"What is that?"

"It's a cat."

"What's it doing here?"

"Oh Arthur please, don't start, let me keep him please!"

Merlin held the cat to her chest and Arthur rolled his eyes walking past her and into the kitchen.

"Okay, just…make sure it doesn't come near me." Merlin rolled her eyes and resumed stroking the cat.

24. No Time

They were on set for their newest movie, an action movie. They were currently shooting a scene where their characters were in great danger, but neither of them could take it seriously because of how clichéd the scene was.

"We have to get to Windhaven before the entire city explodes!"

"There's no time!" Merlin, in character, retorted before exploding into laughter along with Arthur, this was as far as they had gotten all day and the directors were beyond annoyed.

25. Trouble Lurking

Merlin entered Arthur's chamber's placing his dinner on the table in front of him. He nodded at her acknowledging her presence before tucking into his meal. Halfway through his meal his meal he noticed Merlin smirking whilst she stared out of the window. He shook his head knowing she was going to get herself into trouble, again.
