This is the result of a very long night and my sleepy brain likes it, so I hope you do too. Turtle, I am officially the worst for taking so long to finish this and getting it out to you. I am so sorry about that. Thank you for loving me even though I am such a fail. I hope that the completion of this can tide you over until outlaw! is finished.

And here it is-the last installment of Warm Embracing Dance Away.

Disclaimer: I still in no way own the characters of Merlin or the rights to The Way You Look Tonight, by Frank Sinatra.


Lovely, Don't You Ever Change


He would never forget the way he looked, right at that moment; the way that the candlelight lit his face, that soft smile that first caught his eye adorning his face. The lights were low, Frank Sinatra's voice quietly serenading them from the speakers strategically placed around the room. Everything was perfect, really, and Arthur could not be happier. Though he would never admit to it he was grateful to Morgana for pushing him into this, their small and intimate affair aboard the Queen Elizabeth.

They had said their vows before their family on deck at sunset, sharing a sweet, tender kiss after binding themselves together for life.

It wasn't until long into the night that they were able to sneak off into a corner by themselves; there had been dances to have, speeches to hear, and well wishes to receive. Not until the cake had been served had they been able to grab a glass and find an empty table, sitting close, their ankles locked and fingers intertwined.

Squeezing Merlin's hand, drawing his attention from their guests and to him, Arthur leaned in and pressed a soft to his lips, Merlin's free hand finding its way to his chest as he returned the kiss. Someone would find them eventually, but for now, they were just going to enjoy each other's company, the feelings that were running rampant as they exchanged kisses.

The rest of their lives together had begun, and Arthur just knew that they would be full of laughter, smiles, and tears—they would be full of love.


Thank you all for reading.
