We Can Find Another Way

by jaqtkd

A Series of one hundred word drabbles, charting an AU romance between Merlin and Morgana. All based on twenty song prompts from The Heart of Camelot's 'Lyrics and Melodies' challenge. At first Merlin is entranced by Morgana and soon seduced by her. Then comes the inevitable betrayal and heartache. But perhaps Morgana can be changed or, failing that, perhaps destiny can.

With or Without You

U2

(Set around S3)

Merlin felt unable to live without her, but then she returned and he wondered if this wasn't worse. Morgana had tried to convince him that she'd forgiven him but it wasn't long before she gave herself away.

Once she knew he wasn't fooled she changed her game; asking for meetings and not showing up, or starting fights in the crypt which soon turned into acts of seduction.

Merlin threatened to tell Arthur but his hands were tied. He couldn't tell on her any more than she could tell on him. He couldn't win but he certainly had everything to lose.
