Notes: Thanks to the Winterknights crew for keeping this time of year chock full of Merlin-y goodness! For years, off and on, I've lamented the lack of Elyan/Percival while continuing to write anything but - so this year I decided to put my fandom money where my fandom mouth is, so to speak, and indulge in a little rarepair feels. Set at Midwinter, after the events of S04.
Summary Give him time, they'd said. Given all that Elyan's been through, Percival thinks he understands. But as the months go by and the distance grows, he starts to wonder. Then, during the Midwinter festivities, he notes Elyan slipping out early and has an epiphany: Maybe it's less about waiting for enough time to pass and more about choosing the right time.
