I just sketched a freaking awesome picture of Excalibur whilst in the Stone. I used a picture to get the inscription right, but everything else is done by memory. I probably killed a tree or two with all of the pencils I used, but it's totally worth it.

Just not in the trees' perspectives.

A random idea I had once. Originally it was going to be all one story, but between Arthur's questions and Merlin's answers, it got too long, and I didn't want to break character.

Let's pretend that Arthur wrote down this list in a way to attempt to figure out Merlin, and then he tried to destroy it by casting it into the fire. However, that was just about as effective as Isildur destroying the One Ring.

Disclaimer: Do I look like I own Merlin?

Prompt: From me: Arthur asks some questions, and Merlin has some answers

Rating: K+

Genre: Humor

Characters: Merlin, Arthur

Time Frame: Contains spoilers for all seasons, but considering question 7., it is season 5.

Summary: Merlin finds a list of Arthur's questions and responds to them. 2 parts.

Let's Go On An Adventure


Merlin found a half-singed list of questions on the floor...

1. Does Merlin know what "respect" means?

2. Why is he still my manservant?

3. Who does Merlin love: Morgana, Guinevere (preferably not), me (oh god), or himself?

4. What is Merlin's worst possible excuse?

5. How can one so clumsy dodge everything I throw at him?

6. Does Merlin have a death wish?

7. Since when does he know how to juggle?

8. Does he love, hate, or fear magic?

9. How can such an idiot be so wise?

10. When did he become my best friend?


I GUARANTEE that Arthur has probably asked each of these at some point.

And, oh look, I just realized that I inadvertently referenced "Excuses" with question 4.

Thank you morningstar115, goodgirl275, Kyrie Phire, MythologyStar, Seedsiz, and Lycropanthy for reviewing.

You should probably open the next chapter now. PREFERABLY IN A SEPARATE TAB. You will probably forget which answer goes with which question. Don't say that I didn't warn you.
