Excerpts From a Coma Diary

by UselessWreckage

An accident leaves Arthur in a coma. The universe aligns to make Merlin responsible for recording the events that go on in the world so that he will have an easy update when he wakes up. Disclaimer: This is soap opera medicine. Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Arthur, Gwen/Lancelot and a bit of Gwaine/Elena and Merlin/Gwaine thrown in.

1. Chapter 1

Hello, Arthur. This is Merlin, you know, Gwen's friend? The new kid.

I don't know when you'll be able to read this, but I hope you will one day. This is your coma diary. The doctors said it was a good idea to keep one because you probably won't wake up in a long while, and being able to read back about what happened while you were out might help you get back to normal when you do. I know you're probably confused about why I'm writing it and not Gwen. I mean, I don't even know if you remember my name. So far, you've only called me "new kid." But she is way too upset to write, so I said I'd do it for her.

I'll try to update you as often as I can on what's happening to people.

Get well soon! Well, when you read this, I suppose you will be well. Or not well, exactly, but better.

Anyway, end of entry one.
