A/N ~ Wow! I had no idea you guys would like this idea so much. Ha ha, ha ha. So anyways, this is for the first request I got for this fic, through PM.) I didn't know if you wanted this generally set but I decided it would fit The Diamond Of The Day Part 2, y'know, when Arthur's dying on the banks of Avalon.
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin Friendship
Song: Sinking Friendships by Jonsi
For: StarWritingFlute200
They were swimming in the blue, nigh misfortune, unlively like a glue. Yes, the life drained out from the good man, the good king, that he had been proud to call his friend. His eyes were soaked all the way through, as he could do nothing but watch.
This sinking friendship... It would drown them all.
Merlin sad a sad tune. Is that all he could do? Is that all he could do? So much power, yet he could do nothing to save Arthur. He should've worn to lifesaving layers. They should all wear two. Merlin was one, and now, on the shore of Avalon, one was not enough.
And nobody knew Merlin until it was over, Arthur gone. They knew nobody true till it was over. Because Merlin was the loyalist and most truthful of them all, yet he had not been at all. His life was a lie, until Arthur was condemned, until it was too late, until it was over.
Is this all he could do? Is this all he could do? It was cold, here, and his lips were pale blue. He couldn't care. His shivering half-moon, this last night, Arthur had lost his tune. And Arthur's taking his last breaths. It's the end of the end of the end.
Is this all he could do? Is this all he could do? Stay to the end, by his side as he slips away. Everyone should wear two lifesaving layers. All wear two. And what hurts the most is that Arthur never knew him till it was already over, knew nobody true until it was over.
Is this all he could do?
Is this all he could do?
A/N ~ Hope that worked for you. Keep sending these in, guys, you're great. :-P
