Heh, for once I'm not at school. I just rewatched "The Queen of Hearts" and decided to do this whilst it was still fresh on my mind.

Prompt: From MythologyStar: What if Arthur actually asked Merlin why he wasn't at the tavern like Gaius said when he went missing?

Rating: K+

Genre: Humor

Characters: Merlin, Arthur

Time Frame: Post S3E10, "The Queen of Hearts."

Summary: Arthur questions his manservant about his terrible excuses.

Let's Go On An Adventure


"So Merlin, where were you yesterday?"

Merlin glanced up from his cleaning. "W-what?"

Arthur met his his eyes. "Well, Gaius told me that you were in the tavern, but I know that's not true."

"And how would you know that?"

"Because you weren't in there when I went looking for you. Merlin?"

Merlin's fists tightened. "Uh, I... I was helping... Gwen."

Arthur frowned. "Were you now? Even though she was in the dungeons."

Merlin paled. "Um... COMING MOTHER!"

He fled the room, and Arthur shook his head. Will Merlin just admit to his magic already?


And I decided to have Arthur suspect the magic just to make this 100 words. Well, it was either that or have Merlin jump out of a window to escape Arthur.

So, prompts, anyone? I have a few that I came up with stored away in my notes. They all take place in the same AU, though. If you want me to do something, just let me know.
