I'll respond to reviews later. I didn't realize how long my real life would take today. However, here is today's (tonight's) drabble :)
Disclaimer: No, I am not telling you to drink your sorrows away. Maybe there are triggers in this drabble? Read at your own risk. This one is dark in its own way.
Prompt: From pezzz: Centuries to stew over every mistake that caused a death. Now there's a sad topic for a drabble!
Rating: T for drinking and depression
Genre: Angst/Tragedy
Characters: Merlin, mentions of 13 other people
Time Frame: Future Fic, but Arthur hasn't returned yet
Summary: WARNING: Depressed!Merlin! Proceed with caution. Merlin's immortality is long enough to mull over every mistake he's ever made.
Let's Go On An Adventure
Will. Freya. Balinor. Lancelot. Uther. Isolde. Elyan. Daegal. Kara. Mordred. Gwaine. Morgana. Arthur.
Merlin took another swig from the bottle, his mind buzzing drunkenly. He stumbled down his musty hallway. The carpet was stained from alcohol (and maybe blood).
Will. Freya. Balinor. Lancelot. Uther. Isolde. Elyan. Daegal. Kara. Mordred. Gwaine. Morgana. Arthur.
Thirteen people dead because he failed them.
Arrow. Sword. Sword. Veil. Dagger. Sword. Sword. Arrow. Noose. Excalibur. Torture. Excalibur. Mordred.
Merlin threw out his empty bottle and smacked his lips. He should probably shave. Probably.
Will. Freya. Balinor. Lancelot. Uther. Isolde. Elyan. Daegal. Kara. Mordred. Gwaine. Morgana. Arthur.
To make you feel better, I shall remind you that Merlin probably blames himself for the deaths of countless others. Have fun :)
