OooOooOooOooO
Merlin was tired. He was tired, weary, exhausted…broken.
Destiny. It never relented. It demanded, controlled, owned Merlin.
And it took and took until there was nothing left. Nothing for Merlin to seek comfort in. Nothing for Merlin to call his own. Nothing for Merlin to breathe in.
Destiny was a pillow placed over Merlin's ivory face. Suffocating him, slowly, painfully, sucking the life out of him.
The tears ceased to fall. He'd run himself dry. No sobs escaped his throat. He could barely utter a sound, let alone a cry of sorrow.
Destiny demanded. It commanded him to take action. And that very action lead to this.
A queen without her king. A garrison without a leader. A man without a brother.
And now, here he stood, upon the same shores of the lake that took it all. The lake that took him.
Arthur, who's eyes that would never open. Who's lips that would never smile. Who's body that would never move.
And Merlin wonders. He wonders what would have happened had he not been so mistrustful. What would have happened had he chosen the path of love and peace. What would have happened had he extended the hand of friendship to those who were so alone. Like he himself had been for so long.
Would she have taken his hand?
Would he have been a faithful knight?
Would Arthur still be alive?
The fault lied with Merlin and Merlin alone.
And now he was tired and weary and exhausted. He had nothing left, because Destiny, she took it all. She took it all and left nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing except this lonely, broken man.

A/N: Thanks for reading. Reviews would be much appreciated. Now, which Merlin fan-fic would you like to see next?
I…Met A…Guy At The Tavern, a crack!fic in which Arthur figures out that Merlin is Dragoon the Great. Based off a scene in 'Superhero Movie'.
Morgana And Gwen Ship Merthur, title says it all. Merlin and Arthur stumble upon a book of some very…weird things…
By Those Iz Blogged, a oneshot full of fluff in which Merlin has a cold and Arthur comes to visit him.
