Title: Regret.
Summary:
All his life Arthur had felt as if he was always too late.
Spoilers: None.
Warnings: Angst.


All his life Arthur had felt as if he was always too late.

By the time he learned who Morgana had become it was too late. She was unrecognisable; lost to him forever.

By the time he became King and freed magic users there was already a trail of the dead a mile long. He couldn't undo what his father had done.

He felt a lot of things when he learned of Merlin's magic, but there was still the familiar regret. Regret for the times he had missed. The decisions and losses and enemies Merlin had had to face alone.

DragonflyonBreak: Yay! I'm so glad you liked 'Eaten by Pheasants'. I packed it full of bromance for you :) Glad you liked the other one too despite your Gwen hatred (what's that about, btw?). Thanks for reviewing! XD
Starts with a D: I'm glad you share in my love of Gwaine. Only Gwaine would mention pheasants :D Everyone seems to agree about how awesome the way Arthur says 'Guinevere' is. Alas, it really wouldn't work with my name either. I can't imagine anyone saying 'Lucy' that reverently. It just doesn't work. Ah well. I was nervous cause I've never written romance before and I don't exactly have a wealth of experience to base it on. Glad you liked it :) Thanks for reviewing! XD
