Summary:
Arthur grows up in a small town and into an overall great and normal life. Except, he keeps having these strange, recurring dreams. Once a year he dreams of a man, watches whatever he is up to at the moment, and sees places he could have never imagined. Arthur was sure he had never met him, so why did he seem so familiar?
Getting older, Arthur becomes determined to find out more about his dreams and the mysterious man. He starts to travel to places he had seen in his dreams and does all the research he can possibly do – but to no avail. Over the years he almost gives up, when suddenly he starts to remember a lifetime many centuries ago – the man from his dreams always at his side...

Notes: First of all: A huge thanks to Momo for being such an awesome beta! This fic wouldn't even be half as good as it is, without your help! <3 Secondly: I didn’t go with the prompt 100% (Merlin not being a run away per say and by that probably a lot older than intended), and I’m so sorry about that! I hope the prompt-writer still likes the result! What I wrote was my first inspiration from reading the prompt and I just couldn’t help sticking to it. >//<
Summary: Arthur gets home late after celebrating into the New Year. He finds a homeless stranger hiding in his porch, and – drunk as he is – decides to let him stay in his guest room for the night. Over the next day Arthur slowly gets to know the man, Merlin, and chooses to help him as much as he can.
