Diary of a commoner living in Camelot

by livesofsubstance

Tommy is a stableboy in the castle. He started keeping a diary a few months ago, it is his most precious possession. Gently poking fun at Merlin plotholes and a fun imagining of what life must have been like for a commoner in Camelot, dealing with the occasional dragon attack and escaped prisoner. Very roughly corresponds to the episode order

3. Chapter 3

Entry 35

My neighbour died last night. The plague's come around again and people are dropping like flies. When it gets you you turn all white and frothing and dead in a few hours. There must be a curse on this land. I wish the King would do more about this. Johnny got sick. I was scared he wasn't gonna make it, but the bastard came around.
