This is my first attempt at drabbling - I like reading everyone else's, and it sounded fun, so I decided to try! I'll be doing a series of unrelated drabbles covering 15 different genres. Reviews are love! Enjoy! Or don't, whatever you fancy :P
1. I'll Be Home Tonight
Two weeks since Arthur had left to stop the fighting in Escetia. It was the longest the queen had been without her king, and it was becoming unbearable.
"He's safe, my lady," Gaius told her daily.
"I hope so," she always whispered in return.
She was anxious and terrified to discover the letter waiting on her pillow one night, her name written on the scroll in Arthur's loopy handwriting. Merlin was no doubt to thank for the delivery. She tore it open impatiently.
There, inside, were four words: I'll be home tonight.
The simplest of messages, yet her heart soared.
