I was so convinced that I already posted this chapter, then I come to learn that I was mistaken. Now I'm on my phone, typing this up.

Then I moved to my laptop after it became increasingly painful to type.

The original prompt (which I cut in half) should have taken just two parts. This part was fine. However, I came up with a scene for the second half which needed clarification and an outcome, so I ended up with four separate drabbles. But what are these other events? You shall see...

Disclaimer: I may not own Merlin, but that won't stop me from writing FanFiction about it.

Prompt: From ScruffydaDruid: You should write a follow-up [to "Like Glass"] where Arthur's magic reacts to his emotions and goes haywire, maybe when remembering Merlin.

Rating: T

Genre: Post!Tragedy

Characters: Arthur, mentions of Merlin

Time Frame: Post "Like Glass"

Summary: Arthur is suffering following Merlin's death during "Like Glass."

Let's Go On An Adventure

Merlin, saving my life.

Merlin, drowning in his own blood.

Merlin, eyes glowing gold.

Merlin, falling limp in my arms.

...

Arthur jolted awake with a soundless scream. He reached for his mute throat, remembering that it was not him who was bleeding but Merlin.

Merlin, cursing me for eternity.

Glass shards sprang from the window-frame and into the cobblestone below. Arthur heaved, out, out, out, in, out.

I am a sorcerer.

Undoubtedly, his eyes were a flawless gold, just as Merlin's had been in death.

I have magic.

Arthur never felt so terrified and alone in his life.

I so changed the "I am a sorcerer...Was this a blessing or a curse?" into that wonderful line we all know and love at the last minute.

I want to say something SO BAD, but I can't. Not yet. However, a slight clue for tomorrow's Drabble is found in the last line...kind of.

No, not "The Nightmare Begins."

Try breathing out three times without inhaling. At least for me (though I'm an asthmatic), it automatically caused me to breathe in deeply to make up for that, then I breathed out once more.
