Pairings: Arthur/Merlin
Length: n/a
Rating: G
Warnings: Other than angst?
Notes: The Oxford Pocket English Dictionary defines the verb "gutter" thusly:
1. (of a candle or flame) flicker and burn unsteadily.
"the candles had almost guttered out"
2. (archaic) channel or furrow with something such as streams or tears.
"my cheeks are guttered with tears"
I had an honest to goodness omnivore's dilemma, trying to figure out which of EmrysMK's many many pieces I should remix. I finally settled on this one because the clarity of the setting and scene immediately lent itself to being rendered in art. The fic is from Merlin's perspective, but I turned the camera around and have chosen to show what Arthur saw as he peeked into the room and then walked toward Merlin. And THEN I found that a single still piece couldn't capture the movement I was looking for. I ended up with not only a 3 panel "comic", but also a gif, both in an attempt to capture Merlin guttering the candles with his magic as Arthur approaches him. I hope you enjoy what I came up with!
Many thanks are due, as ever to my kick-ass beta! I learn something new from her with every piece; this time it was how to arrange comic panels for better storytelling :D <3
Summary: In which Arthur, worried about Merlin, finds him sitting alone in near darkness.
