MamzelleHermy: I am SO glad you liked it! ^^

CaptainOzone: Lol, thanks Oz! I already attempted to explain how much you made me smile. :D

ShiverMefunzies: Thank you! I I am actually blushing now. I still don't consider myself a writer. :)

TeganL74 1: Aww, thank you so much my friend! It's great that you loved it. And the style was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. I am very glad you liked it. :D

Jediyam: Thank you! :D

April29Roses : Ah, my friend, your reviews are always amazing. You made my week. :D But believe me if everyone procrastinated the way I do….it would be bad. ;)

Chibitomodachi: Thanks! And yes, doing drabbles is like a breath of fresh air. I can type whatever I want without worrying about anything. I wonder why I'm just starting now?

caldera32: Lol, I'm glad you think that. ;)

Title: Turning Pages.

Summary: A ficlet miscellany inspired by random music/desserts/quotes/movies or thoughts. No slash.

Inspiration: You know all those drabble challenges from The Heart of Camelot everyone's been doing? ( and by everyone I mean Oz and carinims01, although I'm pretty sure the numbers will go up because they are SO FUN.) Yep, I thought I'd give them a try. ;)

Challenge from The Heart of Camelot. 'The Chains that Bind Us.'

A/N: Sherlock-inspired much? ( April29Roses I know you'll get it. *wink, wink.*)

The Chains That Bind Us.

"Merlin?"

"Yes, Arthur?"

"Tell me I'm having a particularly bad nightmare. A hellish one."

"I'm afraid not sire."

"Really, of all the disgraceful ways this could have gone wrong…" Arthur said, sighing dramatically.

The bandits were not quite as stupid as Merlin had thought them to be. They had come up with a plan that ended up being virtually flawless.

"You are exaggerating." Merlin said, trying very hard to hide the fact that he was secretly panicking. "We've been in worse situations than this one."

Arthur raised an eyebrow at him. "Tell me, Merlin, how is anything we've ever encountered before worse than this?"

Merlin didn't argue as he stared down at the manacles that tied his wrist…to Arthur's.

"If we ever escape we will find the key first. I can't be stuck with you forever!" Arthur exclaimed, widening his eyes until they were popping out of his skull. "And I can't drag you along….How am I supposed to wield my sword without you falling flat on your face?"

How am I supposed to save your ungrateful neck if you can't wander away and get conveniently knocked unconscious? Merlin thought, rubbing his forehead with his free hand.

"You are right Arthur." Merlin said after a while, silently admitting his defeat. "This is definitely the worst situation we've ever been in."

Am I the only one who thinks Merlin and Arthur chained to each other would be hilarious? Possibilities for comic relief would be endless...

This may be continued in the near future...as for now, I am going to patiently count the hours until Merlin starts. :D
