Guh that last line, it kills my heart and then burns the corpse.
I LOVE your Will. I love Will, but your Will is just. Man, I love Merlin gen so hard and this is perfection. It's just such a nice touch on this friendship that is so completely lovely, but still seems really small compared to where Merlin is going to go and what his destiny is. And that's so sad in itself and makes Will sort of self-contained, but he's still amazing in his own right.
And ahaha, god the apple thievery might have been my favorite part (though I was very fond of how he reacted to the magic situation).
"Magical ability beyond our wildest imaginings," Will said, "and you use it to make giant bulrushes."
Might be my favorite line, because it really matches how Will acts when he discovers the magic and how he reacts about it always. It's really the kind of caring and understanding in this climate that Merlin can't expect to get, but totally deserves. Will is obviously the best friend you could ever ask for who gets you into terrible trouble with your mother.
I also have to point out that the anti-climatic Will is trying to catch berries with his mouth while Merlin hovers them has to win as the best discovery of that kind of secret ever. EVER.
