Flamio, hotmen! So this is going to be a bunch of random merlin peeps singing! I know you people are probably like 'but merlinissocool, you already have a story with merlin and gang singing!' to which I say 'yes, yes I do, but unlike my story Songs of the Heart (cheesy title, I know) this one not only takes place in a Camelot where spontaneously bursting into song after an intense moment is expected, it also is basically a collection of oneshots taking place at different intervals throughout the show. So, enjoy! Spoilers for all series!

This takes place right after Freya's death.
She was gone. Killed by Arthur, one of Merlin's closest friends. And the worst part? Merlin couldn't even blame him. After all he was just protecting his home against any threat, Merlin knew that. Yet he couldn't help but wish for a better day.
"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday"
He sang softly looking out at Camelot from the window in his room. Yesterday, he was going to leave Camelot, escape with Freya, but destiny had other plans.
"Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know, maybe it's my destiny
To be all alone
But I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday"
Here he was, avoiding everyone, hiding in his chambers. Was this really necessary? To kill the only woman he has ever, and probably will ever, love? Did saving Arthur from every threat that befell him really hold that much importance? So much that Merlin couldn't afford to be happy for once in his life, really, truly happy? He wanted to scream in rage. Sometimes it felt like Arthur couldn't so much a lift a sword without Merlin's help! It wasn't Arthur's fault though. It was no one's fault. She was dead, and being angry wasn't going to bring her back.
"Why'd she have to go?
I don't know, maybe it's my destiny
To be all alone
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday"
With that he went to Arthur's chambers to do his chores. He knew she was gone, but he still had one thought to keep him going.
The thought of yesterday.
So, how was it? Angsty, right? The song was Yesterday by the Beatles. Just so you people know I am open for suggestions and requests, so request away! Anyway I've got to go catch my whale to Norway!
Comment!
Stay chill fellow whales,
