So I decided to steal the idea that other people had on this site – Merlin Advent! I tried to post Day 1 yesterday, but my net crashed before I could, so I have it here now. I will try my best to get each story up on the right day, but as you know my mate has been sectioned so I've got a lot of running around to do ATM, but I will try my best!
The theme of the posts centres around the number of the day, but none are related unless otherwise stated!. EG post Two will be called 'Two's company' while three will be called 'Three's a crowd'.

Day 1 – Alone
--
Merlin knew that it was Gwen that would break the spell that Arthur was under. She was the woman he loved, and she in turn, loved him.
Merlin also knew that they could never be together, not while Uther ruled, for Uther would never allow his son to marry someone as low down in society as a maidservant.
He also knew that, no matter how little of a chance Gwen and Arthur had, he and Arthur had even less.
But it no longer mattered if Merlin loved Arthur more, it didn't matter if he thought they were destined to be together, all that mattered was that to save the life of the man he loved, he would have to give him to another, at least for the time being.
Despite knowing this, Merlin could not bring himself to watch as Gwen kissed Arthur and broke the love spell he was under, for he knew that one day, they would be together.
And he would forever be, alone.
