Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, BBC does.

AN: Well here I am, starting yet another new fic. I know there are lots of drabble threads out there, but I've wanted to write some of my own for awhile now. These drabbles will cover a wide variety of characters, timeframes, and genres depending on my mood. Most of them will be Merlin/Arthur friendship and no slash, but I will have some Merlin/Morgana, Arthur/Gwen drabbles from time to time. For those who might not know what a drabble is, they are stories with exactly 100 words. So for this story there will be five drabbles each chapter until I reach 100. So I hope you enjoy these, and I will try to update it weekly. I'm always grateful for any feedback!

A Hundred Merlin Drabbles

Bootlicker

Arthur/Merlin

"MERlin, what are you doing?" Arthur demanded.

"Cleaning your armor like you told me to," Merlin retorted.

"I needed to be on the training field twenty minutes ago, with my armor on," Arthur replied.

"Fine wear dirty armor," Merlin replied.

"Have you ever heard of time management, Merlin?" Arthur asked. "You should look into it."

"Have you ever heard of being kind to servants?" Merlin asked. "Generally they like to be told things ahead of time."

Arthur grinned. "But that is half the fun, most servants don't mind."

"Most servants are bootlickers, Sire."

Thank God you're not, Arthur thought, thankfully

Apple

Merlin/Will about 10 years before Series 1

The fruit fell suddenly from ten year old Merlin's hands and his eyes flashed gold, stopping it in midair. The young boy jumped down from the tree he had been perched in and then slowly let the apple settle gently in his hand.

"How did you do that?" Merlin's friend Will asked.

Merlin was terrified, his Mom would be so mad if she found out his magic was discovered.

"Magic," Merlin replied. "But don't tell any you know."

"I won't," Will said. "Friends keep secrets like that."

Merlin grinned from relief and then held out his hand to Will. "Apple?"

Hunt

Arthur/Merlin

Merlin hated hunts, he really loathed them. And it was just his luck to be servant a man who loved hunting. He sighed heavily; this was going to be a long day.

"Can you breathe any quieter?" Arthur demanded.

"Not unless you want me to stop breathing altogether," Merlin retorted.

"That would be lovely," Arthur said rolling his eyes.

"Nice to know how much you care," Merlin muttered.

"The truth is," Arthur said grinning. "Most of the fun of going on hunts with you is seeing how you react. You are such a girl all the time."

"Prat," Merlin muttered.

Cold

Merlin/Morgana during The Tears of Uther Pendragon

Her smirk chilled Merlin to the bone. Where was that person he befriended, why was she merely a shadow of the person she once was. Morgana was supposed to be the darkness to his light, but at the same time he desperately longed to save her from herself. It wasn't the first time Merlin wished things would be different and it wouldn't be the last.

But she had threatened to tell Uther about the poisoning, so Merlin couldn't say anything. He couldn't warn Arthur, Merlin would just have to watch and wait. He shivered from a cold that wasn't there.

Secret

Arthur/Merlin

This was the moment, Merlin was going to tell Arthur the truth. He braced himself, it wasn't going to be easy.

"I have magic," Merlin said, wincing slightly.

"Sure you do," Arthur commented airily. "And I'm a druid."

"I really have magic, Arthur," Merlin replied.

"You really couldn't lie to save yourself," Arthur remarked.

"I'm telling the truth!"

"And I don't believe you," Arthur said.

Merlin's eyes flashed gold and Arthur was tripped by unseen hands.

"Believe me now?"

"You are under arrest for the crime of sorcery!"

Merlin woke suddenly, very relieved that his secret was still safe.
