Rating: PG
Character/s: Mordred, Merlin
Summary: Mordred makes a mistake.

Author's Notes: I hadn’t intended to write more than one piece this week, but this thought came to me as I was falling asleep and I dashed it out. Probably everything I write could fit this prompt.



Mordred coughed, a blow driving all air out of him.

“What did you do that for?”

Tears streamed down Merlin’s face. Mordred staggered back, the weight of his mistake pouring over him.

“You were entirely devoted to him, weren’t you?”

“My whole life was for him. Now it’s ashes.”

Merlin looked like he’d been the one holding armies at bay and had taken the fatal blow.

Mordred sunk to his knees.

“Merlin. That’s not how it was supposed to be. Arthur’s death means freedom for our kind after all these years. That’s all I wanted.” Tears ran down his face.

Thank you! *bounces* EEEEE. Go. Run. Write it now. Do not wait. Will you post it on camelot_drabble, or separately?

Also, do you think that Merlin will kill Mordred here? I thought I'd left it completely open and ambiguous, but rocknvaughn was asking me.

I wasn't actually thinking of writing anything... and I'm kind of avoiding things to do with the end... If I do, it will probably be separately on my journal, but I could always link back here.

I can see Merlin getting extremely angry... which gives potential. But Merlin hasn't really been a 'killer' out of cold blood... so I think it could be taken either way.

Yeah, that was pretty much my line of thought too.

I'd love it if you pm'd me or linked back from here if you do write something. I think I might write something. Maybe.
