July 4: the day to commemorate when a bunch of old guys wearing powdery wigs got together and decided to commit treason just for the sake of it. Now I get to hear the whistle of fireworks again. I'm in the dining room, so I can't see my cat. However, I'm sure that she isn't happy.

Disclaimer: I am a disclaimer. I have disclaiming magic.

Prompt: From MythologyStar: Is there going to be a follow up? (referring to "With Pleasure")

Rating: T

Genre: Angst

Characters: Gwaine, dead bandits, mentions of Merlin

Time Frame: Post Chapter 150 "With Pleasure"

Summary: Gwaine "takes care of" the bandits who tortured Merlin.

Let's Go On An Adventure

"This is for Merlin you bastards!"

And with that call, Gwaine cut down the next bandit in his way with one swing. The bandit's eyes glazed over immediately, unseeing and cold. His companion took one look at Gwaine and his bloody sword and turned to run. However, Gwaine caught him by the scruff of his neck and ran him through.

No one else charged on Gwaine.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, his eyes burning. The sight of Merlin, broken and swaddled inside of a Camelot red cloak, would forever live in his mind.

"That was for you."

Never hurt Merlin if you value your life. A PSA by Lya200.
