Drabble Nine: Gossamer
Genre: any suggestions? I'm not too sure... a bit angsty I s'pose...
OK... well, a bit of confusion with the last chappie! I meant that I've finished my revelation drabbles... I know, it was confusing, and I'm sorry. Especially to CeeRat who liked the length of the fic :s OOPS! Well, there are a few more drabbles, but there won't be many more than fifteen I don't think unless I get struck by some incredible inspiration. ANYWAY, I'm not sure about this drabble... I went a bit deep and I don't know if I'm any good at that kind of thing. I don't even know what genre it is! Still, please enjoy and review :D
Gossamer
Arthur's soul was fragile, made of gossamer. Surprising, isn't it? You see, every time something happens that makes Merlin's eyes water, Arthur's stay dry, but a thread of his soul breaks; snaps under the pressure of grief.
Maybe, one day, there will be no thread left. Just the ghost of a spider's web.
And maybe, it'll be Merlin's job to collect the pieces and tie them back together so that, when Arthur finally becomes King, his soul will be toughened and entwined with that of his servant's. Because not all the pieces will be found. Merlin will gladly share his.
