So, from time to time during this fic, my regular readers are going to get a sense of deja vu as I re-publish old works or edit chapters from my multiparters. I hope you don't mind, but I think it's good to have everything in the same place and nice to share these stories with a wider audience.
Merlin has had too much to drink at a recent celebration and writes a letter of confession to Arthur.
11. Letter to Arthur
It should be so easy to confess. It only needs three words.
I have magic.
I have lied.
I'm a sorcerer. (Or is that four?)
It probably doesn't matter. I doubt I'll show you this letter anyway.

Why should it be so hard to tell the truth to a friend?
I am light.
I am destiny.
I am Emrys.
I'll explain that one to you later.
xoxOxox
Why should I even care what you think? I'm of no importance to you.
Merlin the servant.
Merlin the idiot.
Merlin the ****
That is completely untrue, by the way.
xoxOxox
Why am I scared to tell you?
Why am I so afraid of what you will say?
What use is all this power if I don't have the strength to confess?
xoxOxox
Just three words.
Don't hate me.
I love you. (Ignore that, I've had too much cider)
I am magic.
A/N When I've published this before I've always added that Merlin reads it again the following morning and quickly burns it but ... that didn't go down well with some so I've taken it out!
I had no particular word in mind for **** I'll leave that up to your imagination ;)
I'm not getting email alerts the moment and, when I published Chapter 10 last night, this fic didn't appear at the top of the list as normal. So, do check that you didn't miss 'Headache and Heartache.' In fact do keep checking carefully for missed ficlets as I am updating this very regularly at the moment - simply because I've so many already written and lined up.
Feel free to check out my profile for latest information about upcoming chapters and see the ideas people have suggested for future reveals. Feel free to send me more suggestions in reviews or PMs. Again strange things happened yesterday and my PM alert became disabled but ... I've switched it back on again now (hopefully)
