Aawwww, I adore your ficlets so so much! If I may be so bold and prompt smth too? I loved your Brynn canon time story - Do you feel like maybe writing a modern setting version with Brynn? Maybe Merlin and Arthur adopt her or somehow find her or to her? And they just know she belongs to their little family? That’d be so wonderful, but just if you like. Thank youuuu! 💞💞💞💞

YAY! I love this idea! I probably should have written this for Father’s Day, but better late than never. 

Also, this ficlet doesn’t have anything to do with the first ficlet, but if anyone is interested >>> Canon AU Kid!fic

Gwen had been working at the adoption agency for close to ten years now. So when Merlin and Arthur, some of her closest friends in the world, tentatively asked her how they could go about adopting, she was over the moon.

They went through the paperwork and screening fairly quickly, since Gwen knew all the ins-and-outs. She could tell that they were both fairly nervous, although in their different ways. Merlin was anxiously talking about all the statistics and best ways to help a child adjust from foster living to a forever-home. Arthur was quiet most of the time, which wasn’t altogether that odd, except he would get this terrified look in his eye every time Gwen talked about the two of them becoming ‘fathers.’ Knowing Arthur’s own father hadn’t always been the best role model, Gwen didn’t blame him for looking like he was about to be sick at the word.

The adoption agency set up a picnic for a small group of potential parents and foster children, with plenty of food and a few scheduled activities. Gwen was working, so she couldn’t keep a close eye on her friends as she facilitated the event, but when she went to check up on them, they were doing alright.

The next activity was group painting, and Gwen paired everyone up and started them by telling them to paint anything they wanted and see where it took them.

Barely a minute into the activity, her coworker pulled her aside, and said she needed help with one of the kids.

Gwen had noticed that Brynn hadn’t been particularly enthusiastic about today’s picnic. Gwen didn’t blame her. She was ten years old, which was much older than all the other kids here, most of whom were five to seven years old. She was sitting on a nearby bench rolling her ever-present football under her feet.

Gwen sat down next to her.

“I don’t want to finger paint.”

Gwen did not want to point out that the kids weren’t finger painting and did not mention Brynn’s tone either.

“You don’t have to, love,” Gwen said with a sigh. “Do you want to stay, or do you want me to call your foster parent to pick you up?”

Brynn shrugged.

Most parents wanted to adopt young kids. Six years old was usually the limit. The older kids got, the less likely they were to be adopted. Brynn knew that just as well as Gwen did.

“Hey,” Gwen looked up to see Arthur, a crease in his brow as he looked at the two of them. “Everything alright?”

Gwen nodded, “We’re just taking a break.”

Arthur nodded, “I don’t blame you. It’s kind of overwhelming. Mind if I join? I already knocked over half the paint tins. I’ll leave the painting to Merlin.”

That’s when Gwen noticed that Arthur’s leg was covered in blue and green paint.

Brynn snorted and Gwen felt something like hope tighten in her chest.

Arthur sat down in the grass in front of the bench and Brynn automatically looked hesitant again, eying Arthur suspiciously.

“I don’t want to talk,” She said to Arthur.

Arthur nodded, looking rather serious. “I don’t want to talk either.”

Brynn looked a little affronted that her own game had been turned on her.

Despite outward appearances, Gwen could see that this was going well.

“I have to go help with the painting. Are you two going to be alright taking a break?” She looked for confirmation from Brynn that she was alright being left alone with Arthur.

Brynn nodded, and Gwen patted her on the shoulder, “Just let me know if you need anything. Don’t forget to get a snack later too.”

Gwen went to help with the paint (it was a rather messy activity, but that usually encouraged bonding) but she kept a close eye on Brynn and Arthur.

She saw that Arthur had laid in the grass next to Brynn and they didn’t seem to be talking, just soaking in the sun and getting away from everyone else. Gwen had always noticed that Arthur would easily get overwhelmed at parties, and often found him taking breaks out on patios or front porches before going back in to mingle.

When she looked back again, Arthur was sitting up and Brynn seemed to be talking. Arthur nudged the football under her feet and soon enough the two of them were teasingly knocking the ball between them. Arthur juggled the football for a few seconds and Brynn tried it out too. Gwen could tell that Arthur showed her how to balance the ball on the end of her foot and encouraged her when it didn’t work. They were in their own little world, running in the grass and kicking the football back and forth between them.

“How old is she?”

Gwen startled. She hadn’t even noticed Merlin standing next to her, watching his husband and Brynn.

“Ten,” She said, knowing Merlin would know what that meant.

Gwen turned to look at him, and she could see tears in his eyes, a clenched fist nervously held to his chest.

“Go,” Gwen nudged him.

Merlin hesitated, “I can’t kick a football for the life of me.”

She pushed him, “Go fall on your arse. I’m sure Brynn will love it.”

Merlin took a halting step forward, taking a breath and running over to the pair. There was a quick introduction that couldn’t have been more than, ‘Merlin, catch!’ as Arthur nudged the ball over to him. Merlin got in a few good kicks to Brynn but sure enough, Merlin was horrible with a football. Brynn kicked the ball to him and he slipped over it and fell on his arse.

Brynn looked scared for a second, like she thought she’d done something wrong, but then Arthur burst out laughing. Gwen always loved Arthur’s real laugh. It was obnoxious and sounded more like a donkey’s bray than a laugh.

“Shut up! I’m not a football lad like you!” Merlin threw the ball at Arthur, who easily caught it in his hands.

Brynn visibly relaxed and Gwen saw her smile, which was a rare sight that made Gwen’s heart fly in her chest.

Arthur gave Merlin his hand and hauled Merlin back onto his feet, mockingly dusting him off before Merlin pushed him away. They resumed their game, passing the ball in a triangle between the three of them. They didn’t seem to be talking a lot, but Gwen didn’t think that would work for Brynn. She would open up only when she felt comfortable, and if football was the way to do that, then Merlin and Arthur were leaps and bounds ahead of any other potential parent.

Gwen told her coworkers to start the next activity without her, and she went to the food table to grab a couple snacks and a few juices.

When she approached the trio, Brynn was talking about her favorite footballer, “-won the football world cup and she’s one of the best ever.”

“Sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to make sure you stay hydrated.”

“Oh thank god, Gwen, save me. Is that juice?” Merlin took the bottle from her, looking grateful. She laughed as Merlin looked absolutely desperate, after only a few minutes of sport talk.

“I’ll take some crisps, if you’ve got them,” Arthur said and Brynn followed his lead, which Gwen took as a great sign.

Soon enough, Gwen was settling them down in the grass munching on their snacks as they chatted. The rest of the potential parents and foster children eventually got their own snacks and joined them out on the grass, and the picnic was coming to a close.

The parents said goodbye, some good connections made and Gwen hoped for the best. The kids were ushered into the bus to be dropped off at their foster homes. Brynn lingered at the bus door, football under her arm. Merlin and Arthur were also lingering on the other side of the park. Their heads were bent close together and Gwen could tell they were talking rather seriously.

Brynn looked over to them and then back to Gwen, as if to ask if she really had to leave.

“Come on, Brynn. You’ll see them again. They already made an appointment with the agency.”

“An appointment?” Brynn asked looking up with big eyes.

Gwen nodded, trying to hold back a smile, “You’ll see them next week. Come on,” She ushered Brynn onto the bus and Gwen took a seat next to her.

“Merlin and Arthur are some of best friends. I’ve known them since I was in uni,” Gwen said, not looking at her, trying to be casual. “Merlin’s a doctor and Arthur’s a personal trainer.”

“Do they have kids?” Brynn asked quietly.

“No,” Gwen said, “They really clicked with you. Did you have a good time?”

Brynn nodded, still hugging the football to her chest. “Mr. Arthur promised to teach me how to juggle the football.” Brynn was quiet again, but that was alright. It had been a long day and Gwen had never seen Brynn as open as she had been on grass.

Soon enough there would be more visits and more paperwork. Soon enough Merlin and Arthur would be bringing Brynn her own luggage to move her out of her foster home to their home. Soon enough there would be official documents and a celebration to Brynn’s official adoption.

But for now, Brynn leaned against Gwen’s side with her football clutched in her chest.

Douglas looked around at the quiet.

"Well, as riveting as this conversation is," he said, pushing out of his chair, "I think I'll press pause and step out for some coffee. Would you like anything, Martin?"

Martin didn't look up from the flight plan he was diligently filling out, by hand, in triplicate, his face set in quiet concentration.

He did, however, tilt his head to the side.

Douglas leaned down, placing a kiss on Martin's proffered temple. He donned his scarf, smiling at the simple yet endearing habit as he stepped out the portacabin door.

"Black coffee, it is."

And there are crossposting options you can set up? So that when you post here it will automatically post to your twitter too and vice versa. Saves time maybe?

Hi tracionn, thanks for the answer, I will look into these two platform and hopefully I will make my own pro-look social page. :D

To the attendees: I think the chances are slim, but I‘ll be arriving on Thursday (27th) at Ebbsfleet Intl at 3:45 pm. Probably taking then the train to Ashford and Canterbury. Or sharing a cab should anyone arrive the same time at Ebbsfleet?

Signal boost :)
