for @merwainefest's day six:

poem + purple

"And at springtide, when the apple-blossoms brush the burnished bosom of the dove,

Two young lovers lying in an orchard would have read the story of our love;

Would have read the legend of my passion, known the bitter secret of my heart,

Kissed as we have kissed, but never parted as we two are fated now to part.

For the crimson flower of our life is eaten by the cankerworm of truth,

And no hand can gather up the fallen withered petals of the rose of youth.

Yet I am not sorry that I loved you -ah! what else had I a boy to do? –

For the hungry teeth of time devour, and the silent-footed years pursue."

— flower of love by oscar wilde

cause i’d miss you, baby

and i don’t want to miss a thing

"[..] do I wanna go there?

Yes, I do

I wanna do more than just bend the rules"

After a night of drinking together, Gwaine and Merlin wake up in each other's bodies... Turns out that drunkenly egging on your partner to try out spells is a bad idea. Excited at the idea of a day off, Merlin begs Gwaine to spend one day swapped before they try and fix things. Which means Gwaine has to pretend to be Merlin to a disapproving Arthur.
