The latest episode of GOT was amazing. I love Olenna, and I hate Cersei.

Disclaimer: Stop disclaiming yourself.

Prompt: From parimalik: Post Camlann : Arthur's ghost comforts Merlin who thinks he's a failure.

Rating: T

Genre: Tragedy/Angst

Characters: Merlin, Arthur

Time Frame: The Victorian Era (Post Season 5)

Summary: Every year, once a year, it is the same. Merlin blames himself. Arthur doesn't want him to.

Let's Go On An Adventure

Merlin's room became as cold as ice. Not that the warlock even noticed. He watched the bustling streets of Victorian Europe, uncaring about everyone and everything.

It was Christmas Eve, a day that should have been marked with joy. Instead, Merlin had a bottle in his hand and many more stacked on the table.

It was the anniversary of Arthur's death.

"Merlin."

Merlin scoffed. "Now I'm going crazy." He took another swig of his alcohol.

"Merlin, listen to me. Stop blaming yourself."

"Sure, whatever you say."

Merlin didn't see Arthur's ghost watching him sadly.

"Please."

Enjoy the angst? I know you did!

The reason why I chose the Victorian Era was because of A Christmas Carol. That one night with Scrooge had many ghosts, so why should he be the only one with visitors? I think that Merlin is visited on this night every year by Arthur, but he doesn't realize it.

Of course, the reason I chose Christmas Eve was because that was when the finale aired.
