So you know how I've been doing a lot humor-related drabbles? Yeah...
Prompt: From Rose PenGibbAck DraggoSHaddo: Write one where Arthur knows about Merlin's magic, and Merlin tells him, and things down-spiral from there
Rating: T
Genre: Tragedy
Characters: Arthur, Merlin
Time Frame: This drabble can be set anywhere from Season 1-3.
Summary: It started with Merlin accidentally revealing his magic. Arthur might have forgiven him, but the rest of Camelot wants to see Merlin burn. Arthur tries to argue in Merlin's defense, but Uther thinks that he's enchanted and had him restrained.
Let's Go On An Adventure
"You have magic?"
"I do."
The whole world was on fire. Flames licked at the bound sorcerer (no, warlock) on the pyre. Merlin was screaming.
Arthur was screaming too.
"He's enchanted you. Don't worry, Arthur, it'll be over soon."
Merlin pleaded. For a brief moment, their eyes met. Blue on blue. Then Arthur looked away, ashamed.
Ashamed that he was powerless to help his friend.
Burning.
Arthur was being held back by the guards. Arthur fought, but it was no use. He couldn't save Merlin.
"I forgive you."
Then the screams stopped, and it was silent.
Now wasn't that just cheerful?
I have a couple of ideas of things that I could not fit in this drabble. One with Arthur's reaction with Uther after this. One with Arthur talking to Morgana. One with him talking to the Great Dragon. If you are interested in seeing any of these, tell me. Also supply me with prompts.
