And then this. This is some kind of continuation to Burning. I know that there were people who disliked it (I didn't like it either), but there is still that part of me that wants to finish up the story in some way. Like this. How exactly does Arthur react?
Disclaimer: Like I own Merlin *scoffs*
Prompt: From WEast, morningstar115, and myself: Arthur's reaction to Uther.
Rating: T
Genre:Drama and Angst
Characters:Arthur, Uther
Time Frame:Directly after "Burning"
Summary: Sequel to "Burning." Arthur will never forgive Uther for this. Dark!Arthur.
Let's Go On An Adventure
"Thank you, Father. I see now that I was emotionally compromised."
King Uther smiled in pleasure. "It wasn't your fault. Even the best of men can be corrupted by the simplest of enchantments. Where sorcery is concerned, there is only evil." He embraced his son.
"You're right. I'm sorry. Please forgive my lapse in judgement."
"There's nothing to forgive, Arthur, but I accept your apology."
"And I forgive you," Arthur said through gritted teeth, his eyes burning with icy contempt. "I forgive you."
But Arthur couldn't forgive King Uther for burning Merlin. He never will.
If Arthur were to forgive Uther for killing Merlin, I'd be very disappointed in him. But he has to keep up appearances.
I think this was better than Burning. At least it's only the aftermath of Merlin dying, not the actual dying bit.
I have most of my prompts written. The only exception is a prompt that my brother gave me that is a "missing scene" from The Coming of Arthur. But, all prompts are acceptable just as long as they are K, K+, or T.
