AN: Thank you to all you awesome people who reviewed this little offering of drabbles, and I hope you enjoy this too! By the way if you like Doctor Who I've also started a drabble thread for DW (I know, shameless right?). I'm grateful for any feedback, and I hope to have more up next week!
A Hundred Merlin Drabbles
Stupid Gwaine
Arthur/Merlin/Gwaine
Arthur never should have agreed to it. It all started when Gwaine asked if he would go to the tavern with him. Arthur wanted to say no, but his pride defeated his common sense. And during the night Arthur decided that he was going to drink Gwaine under the table, but unfortunately the opposite happened.
Of course Merlin received the brunt of Arthur's bad mood the next day. It was not even midmorning and Arthur had already thrown half a dozen heavy objects at his manservant. Oh well, Merlin should be used to it by now, Arthur thought. Stupid Gwaine.
Excalibur
Arthur/Merlin
Arthur looked at the sword in complete and total awe. So here it was, the tool used to kill the dead that was burnished by a dragon's breath. The weapon was magnificent as it gleamed in the bright sunlight that shone through the forest. It looked like the sword was to remain in the stone forever, and tales told hundreds of men who already tried and failed to remove the sword.
Arthur wrapped his fingers around the hilt of the sword and pulled. It came out easily, and Arthur held it aloft. "This sword," he said to Merlin. "Is Excalibur!"
Coronation
Arthur/Merlin
The time had come.
"By the power vested in me I crown thee Arthur Pendragon King of Camelot."
As Geoffrey of Monmouth set the golden crown upon Arthur's head, Merlin couldn't stop himself cheering along with the rest of the crowd. Now that Arthur was king Camelot was going to be a very different place, and Merlin was proud to say that he was a part of that. This was such a victory. Arthur's life had been in danger more times than Merlin could possibly count, but he was vindicated at last to see his friend finally on the throne.
More Than A Servant
Arthur/Merlin
It was hard for Arthur to believe that there had ever been a time of his life in which Merlin wasn't a part of it. They had been through so much together, saved each other's lives, and shared a camaraderie that should never have been allowed. Arthur knew his father would scoff at the thought, but despite the difference in social class Merlin was Arthur's best friend. But the prince would never admit it in a million years.
"Idiot," Arthur muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Prat," Merlin retorted, grinning that foolish smile.
Yes, Arthur thought. Merlin is more than a servant.
Kiss
Merlin/Morgana (End of The Nightmare Begins)
"Its good to have you back."
"Thank you Merlin," Morgana said, and Merlin started to head for the door.
But then he felt a hand on his arm and turning he saw Morgana, she moved in closer and their lips met in a gentle kiss. He wrapped his arms around her, prolonging the kiss, but then she pulled away.
Morgana looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry Merlin, I don't know what came over me."
Merlin smiled. "I understand."
They kissed briefly, the kiss every bit as passionate as the first one.
"Goodnight," Merlin said smiling as he closed the door being him.
