Read on Ao3

Princess Elena had returned, several months after her previous visit, to hammer out some of the fine details of the trade agreement between Camelot and Gawant. Her father, King Godwyn, had been planning to attend the meeting, but has fallen ill, so his daughter came in his stead. Gwen found herself glad for the change as she watched the negotiations. As a servant, she should have had eyes for nothing but the goblets of those at the table, checking whether they’d need to be refilled, but she found her gaze continuously drawn to the princess. 

Elena was different somehow, than during her last visit. She was more poised, and a good deal less clumsy, but just as fierce in defending herself and her kingdom’s interests. It took real courage to stand up to Uther, and the serving girl was impressed, and maybe just a little bit awed, by her. When the princess looked up at her and smiled, Gwen had to look away bashfully as heat rose in her cheeks. Merlin caught the motion and grinned at her, and she swore she hadn’t felt this embarrassed since he teased her about choosing between Arthur and Lancelot.

Queen Guinevere/Princess Mithian AU: The Date

someone will remember us, i say

even in

some other time

you might’ve thought, in the beginning, that you would’ve seen him, or even her in the crinkle of her eyes, or her wide smiles. but it never comes. sometimes you wake up, seeing them in dreams and it hurts, it hurts so much and you can’t breathe some nights. but then she’s there to hold you, to tell you stories about nothing.

you tell her that you don’t think you’ll be able to love her, that you’ve loved so much and so hard, and it’s made you tired. she only smiles and combs fingers through your hair, kissing reassurances into your skin that she loves you and she is here and not going anywhere.

you don’t when it happens. but everything that she does amazes you, and you start to notice everything so much more. how her laughter bubbles out of her. how she looks up at you shyly and tucks a hair behind her ear when she’s nervous. how her eyes crinkle when she smiles. how she always seems to be touching you, whether it be small brushes of fingers or comforting pats on your shoulder.
