Seven short stories written for the 'Mergana Prompt Party' on Tumblr
Day One: Magic
Gaius had ordered Merlin not to tell Morgana about his magic, and Kilgharrah was adamant that she remain ignorant about her power but the young warlock knew such instructions would be hard to follow. He may have reluctantly agreed to the restrictions imposed upon him but his magic, unfortunately, had not.
When they crossed paths he felt it; an incessant pull, as if he were no more than a puppet pulled by strings that she held. Even with his eyes closed he could still see and sense her; the shape and power of her magic glowing luminously through his eyelids and, as time went by, Merlin realised that she was starting to feel it too.
Now, whenever he came into her presence, her gaze instantly found him; no matter how engrossing her task. As he helped her down from her horse her expression informed him that she had felt it too; the warm pulse, like a static shock vibrating between them and tilting the world sideways, drawing her closer that was respectable; her magic calling to his.
And now she strode into his chambers, dark hair bouncing, green eyes determined, focused only on him.
"There's something about you, Merlin. Something I don't understand."
He backing away, shaking his head, nervous about what would happen, but then she pressed her hands against his chest and her lips against his and every candle burst into flame, as magic flowed through their bodies and danced around the room in celebration.
Joined, at last.

A/N: Ssh, not a repeat - absolutely not. :P
I ended up also using this drabble as a prompt for 'The Heart of Camelot' word challenge 'Luminous' but, I really wanted to put all of these here as one set. Anyway, second chapter's coming up in just a few minutes so... never fear.
