Title:Silver line
Rating:G
Pairing(s):Merlin
Summary:Merlin remembers
Warnings:none
Word Count:160something?
Prompt:Scars
Author's Notes:none






Merlin traced the silvery line that ran across his upper arm and the left side of his chest.

He remembered the day well. The day when he had revealed his magic to Arthur. The little blue flame in his hand, the look on Arthur’s face. The shock, the horror, the hurt.

The next thing he knew was the pain flaring up in his left chest where Arthur struck him down.

For a few weeks he was somewhere between life and death, but magic hadn’t allowed him to die. So he kept existing, wandered the woods of Albion and helped with his magic where possible.

He wore the thick ugly scar Arthur’s sword had left as a reminder for his actions for a couple of years before he had performed the magic to reduce it to a line that was just slightly lighter than the colour of his skin.

If only he could heal the scar on his heart so easily.

As much as I want Arthur to accept Merlin's magic, I love stories like this as well. Because let's face it; Arthur doesn't always think things through before acting, especially when he considers himself being betrayed by people close to him.

That being said, this piece was absolutely beautiful and heart-wrenching.

You were much more coherent and articulate in your comment than me. Well done:D It sums up what I should have said.

I could see Arthur doing this, reacting first and thinking afterwards. Loved the last line!

No!!!!

That is not how the reveal supposed to be. I want to hug Merlin and kick Arthur's ass for hurting HIS Merlin like that!

That's awesome. As much as I love the pair of them, I love angst, too, and I can absolutely see Arthur doing this, and Merlin just wandering the land until he dies, just surviving, always grieving. <333

It's so sad! =( very heartfelt. How could Arthur do that to Merlin... I wonder if Arthur regrets his actions...
Wonderfully written though =)

I love this piece. Probably he's forced to like Balinor.:( So sad. I wonder if Arthur could forgive him with time. Well done!
