Okay, this will be the never ending story. Basically, this is a collection of drabbles and ficlets I come up with, and will be the origin for most of the Merlin fanfiction I write. They'll vary greatly on size and tone. If you want to see any of the fics here expanded, just ask ^_^ Or you can give me prompts or ideas. Heck, you can even expand on one of these yourself, if you're so inclined. Just tell me in a review, so I can read it too! Spread the love.
Okay, intro time!
"In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of a great Kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man. His name…Merlin."
"Wait, wait. Why is it all about Merlin? I'm the Once and Future King. Surely I should be the one mentioned at the start."
The minstrel shifted nervously. He was saved from answering by a very smug Court Sorcerer.
"You're a clotpole. Everyone knows I'm the real hero of this story."
"Like hell you are, Merlin."
"What about us dashing Knights of Camelot? Don't we get any credit?"
"No, Gwaine, you don't."
"Arthur, hundreds of years in the future, people are going to still be listening to this story. If we make you the main character, we'd have to call it…The Dollophead Saga or Clotpole Chronicles or…"
"Shut up Merlin."
Gwen stepped in, ever the voice of reason.
"Why don't we just listen, and then decide?"
King Arthur waved a dismissive hand.
"Fine, fine. On with the story."
After I decided on a name for this collection, I couldn't resist making a fourth-wall breaking intro. I've already written about 10,000 words for this, so updates should be fairly regular, at least for now.
So, let me know what you think. ^_^
