it’s strange what desire will make foolish people do
i never dreamed that i’d need somebody like you
i never dreamed that i’d know somebody like you

We were one with our destinies entwined. When I thought that I fought this war alone. You were there by my side on the frontline. When I thought that I fought without a cause. You gave me a reason to try.

Merlin Fairytale Au: Arthur Pendragon, the only son of the Pendragon name, has spent every Christmas since his boyhood in his family’s castle, lighting candles, drinking cranberry wine and dancing with the daughters of his father’s friends. However, as he falls asleep in the ballroom after his eighteenth Christmas Eve, he dreams himself into a fantastic world where presents become larger than life, and his beloved Nutcracker becomes a gorgeous prince. As he fights kings and defends ballerinas from this childhood wonderland, the Nutcracker becomes less of a simple toy, and into an impossible prince that’s Arthur’s desperate to stay asleep for. 

“Please tell me you’ll stay, Arthur.”
