Most people when they see my One Ring believe that it came from a boyfriend. Well, yesterday at the science fair, one of the judges recognized it for what it was. That made me more happy than it should have done.

That story is actually unrelated to this story; I just thought that I'd share.

Disclaimer: One does not simply own Merlin.

Prompt: From me: Arthur's ring is a good luck charm, obviously.

Rating: K+

Genre: Humor

Characters: Merlin, Arthur, anyone else who sat around the original Round Table

Time Frame: Post Season 3

Summary: Arthur's figured it out.

Let's Go On An Adventure


Merlin, as usual, was late to the Round Table meeting. He slid into his chair next to Arthur, who had removed his ring and was twisting it around nervously.

"Now that we're all here," Arthur said with an added glare directed at Merlin, "I'd like to make an announcement."

Arthur returned the ring to his finger. "We are always lucky during patrols, in a way that's almost supernatural."

Is the prat finally going to figure things out?

"I've got an answer." Merlin listened with bated breath. "My ring is clearly a good luck charm."

Face palm.


Next time the Knights go on patrol or Merlin goes to collect herbs or something, Arthur insists on them carrying his ring around. It becomes the official mascot of the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur also has Gaius analyze it for supernatural powers/magic. Arthur even lifts the ban on magic, thinking that he is breaking his own law. Agravaine steals it one night and shows it to Morgana, who tries to copy its powers into her healing bracelet, so everyone goes on a rescue mission for the ring. Merlin eventually decides that everyone's grown obsessed and destroys it inside of a campfire. Morgana jumps in after it and dies. Then it turns out that the ring WAS indeed enchanted, and Arthur breaks his leg on the very next hunting trip by tripping on a rock.

Carry on with your day.

If you don't know what I'm referencing with the title, I'll be disappointed.

Next is an alternate to one of the stories in the "Burning series...assuming that I'm on time. If I don't post it, then it will be an April Fool's holiday drabble. Either case, it will be funny.
