    Bookmarker's Notes

    He takes a paper towel and the Lysol spray and cleans the counter next to him. It’s not how she would do it, but it’s a fine way to clean. Yuna watches him, thinking of his mother who never learned, his childhood friend who played. Shane, her Shane, is an open book. He plays hockey and he is very good at it. Ilya is an enigma, full of unexpected things and hidden grief, abrasive on camera and brutish on the ice and quietly devastated at home, landmines everywhere.

    She almost wants to tell her son to find someone a little easier. But then she sees Ilya wiping the counter, trying to make a new home while remembering his mother’s classical piano tapes, and all she can think is that Shane must be a special man to have found a way through to Ilya Rozanov. The pride feels like it’s too big to fit inside her chest. Her son knows how to love.

    Summary

    “Do you have scales?” Arthur asks. “Wings?”

    The cow at Merlin’s side begins munching on the heads of his handful of wheat.

    “Oh, I see," he says, "You’re an oaf."

    “What did you call me?”

    “An oaf. A pumpkin short of its seeds. A turnip with no greens or roots.”

    “How dare you.”

    “Quite plainly, I thought, but I suppose given your intelligence or lack thereof, I might have been more direct the first time.”

    Arthur draws himself up to his full height, aghast.

    “You,” he says. “Are the strangest, most repulsive hatchling I have ever met, and I should like nothing more than to escape your company immediately.”

    (Pride & Prejudice AU - Lady Ygraine asks her dear friend Lady Nimueh to help her children get off their asses and strike out into the marriage market. With her help, Arthur soon finds himself introduced to a mysterious, magical man who calls himself a botanist.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Arthur chuckles and stands up straight to appreciate the vines climbing around the glass walls and subtle, languid motions of a self-propelled fan in corner behind the door.

    “An orangery with no oranges,” he says.

    “My father warned me against citrus,” Merlin says. “They’re bad for dragons. They eat the pips. Grapes, too.”

    With smears of pear-juice staining his apron and frizzy curls rising from his coal-black hair and the color of the misted glass in his eyes, he’s never looked so at ease.

    So genuinely happy.

    He notices Arthur staring and tilts his head in question.

    “Not bad, is it?” he asks.

    “You’re beautiful,” Arthur says, then nearly chokes. “IT,” he says. “It’s beautiful.”

    Merlin laughs.

    “I’m glad you think so,” he says. “Here, let me help you get started. I’ll show you everything. Come. Come.”
