I'd like to point out that it is really hard to stick to the rules! I wanted to keep playing around once the song had ended. For those of you interested, the rules are on this forum: topic/64876/65862559/1/#81961743
I have 5 drabbles thus far, although I can do more if anyone is enjoying them. Just say.

Merlin fell to his knees next to Arthur's body. He looks so... dead, Merlin thought to himself, his pulse quickening as he realised. He ignored the torrential rain as it drenched him, dripping off the end of his nose.
He'd seen his Prince fall from his horse from an arrow shot by the bandits who had luckily been dispatched by the other knights who had been with them.
He acknowledged the weather enough to lean forwards and gather Arthur into his arms to try and shade his pale face from the water.
"He's too pale," Merlin said to himself. "Come on Arthur!" and he shook him. "Please! Don't go somewhere I can't go. Please."
Merlin leaned into his face to try to see if his friend was breathing, but it was raining too hard for Merlin to tell. Instead, he dropped his head to Arthur's chest, gripping his hands tightly to try to register his heart, his pulse, anything.
And there it was. A small pulse, but it was there.
Merlin smiled.
