Excerpts From a Coma Diary

by UselessWreckage

An accident leaves Arthur in a coma. The universe aligns to make Merlin responsible for recording the events that go on in the world so that he will have an easy update when he wakes up. Disclaimer: This is soap opera medicine. Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Arthur, Gwen/Lancelot and a bit of Gwaine/Elena and Merlin/Gwaine thrown in.

21. Chapter 21

Hello, Arthur!

So, maths and bio out of the way - I'm confident about the bio exam, the maths, well, it's in the lap of the gods. I've done my best. Gwen seemed content with her efforts, though she was apparently unsure about question 17 b. I'm sure you're even worse equipped to help her with that than I am, as you never even saw the test. Tomorrow is world literature. I think that's going to be alright, it's one of the classes I've taken out of interest rather than ambition, so it's not vital and I actually enjoy studying for it. Gwaine asked me over to help him study later, I think he's still not entirely confident in the area. As far as I know, he's done pretty well so far. The football team are all planning their own goodbye party to mark the end of the season. I've heard them talk about it, but I've not been invited - I wonder whether I will be, but I don't know.

And now for the most exciting news: Both Gwen and I have received conditional offers from Avalon University! It's a great incentive to work extra hard on the remaining exams. I really hope I manage to surpass my predicted results. I didn't see much of the campus at the tournament after all, but what I saw looked really nice - I can imagine it would be great to go there with Gwen. I don't know what I'd do about the diary, but surely it can't be long until you wake up now? Anyway, more studying is called for. Catch you later!
