This Gift
On Gwen's first day as Morgana's maidservant, she brought her a rose. Just on a whim.
Years later, Morgana still had that rose, pressed into an old book which Gaius hadn't needed anymore. The book was kept tucked underneath her pillows. Sometimes, while Gwen slept curled up beside her, Morgana took the book out and opened it. Only for a moment to run her finger lightly over the petals and remember how soft they were. Just like Gwen's touch.
The rose Gwen brought her all those years ago had been beautiful. But it was her smile which first won Morgana.
