A/N- Here is another angsty one- not for anything but this is one of my favourites.

Starts with a D - Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for your reviews! They make me happy :)

Summary- Merlin knows he has saved many people. But he also knows that he has failed many as well.

Title- Bleeding Heart


The names were endless- like grains of sand on a beach.

But this shore was bloody.

Some of them he didn't know, some of them he knew too well, and some of them not well enough. But Merlin memorized them all. Every single one painstakingly recorded on paper and etched sharply into his heart, leaving it bleeding. This was the day he paid them tribute.

The lake was his only listener as he recited each and every one. His voice was dull as he recited his failures.

Will.

Sir Bedivere.

Freya.

Balinor.

John.

Morgana.

And Arthur had yet to come.


I hope you liked it! I will be posting the continuation tomorrow where Arthur finds the list.

Thanks for reading, and please review :)
