Author's notes: Thank you for all the lovely comments on 'Flames', I hope you'll also like this one. I didn’t want to post this, because I don’t like it personally, but I thought what the hell. The style I used here is totally strange for me, never used it before, I can only hope I could make it work. I can't say I'm totally satisfied with it, but here it goes.

Promises

’I’m happy to be your servant, till the day I die.’ Tied by fate.

„…for the crime of betrayal…” Arthur’s voice booms across the courtyard.

You deceived me for as long as I have known you!

Banishment.

„…leave and never return to Camelot on the penalty of death.”

His lips ghosting Arthur’s chest drawing a soft moan. Bound by love. Forever.

His eyes told everything: ’I don’t ever want to see you again.’

Merlin’s nails dig deep enough to draw blood, he’s sure it’ll leave a scar, cutting deep into the life line of his palm. Destiny written in scars.

Right. Well, drabbles are not for telling long complicated stories. You can certainly tell a type of story in a drabble, but it's not going to be long.

Yes, I love the poetry in drabbles too.

I think you write very well, especially considering that English is not your first language!

Thanks:)
Drabbles for me are more like just a thought or a feeling, not really a story. That was why this was a bit different than usual, cause a bit of 'story' got poured in it.

I think you'll find that happens from time to time. My "scar" drabble has a lot more story in it than most of my drabbles.

I only did that with my drabble series so far, which was one story with chapters of 100 words. You're scar drabble was amazing. But I already told you that:) That comparison was fantastic.

Thanks, again:) I love playing with the drabble form. I have written over 30 at this point. Not sure of the exact number. I enjoy playing with the different effects you can get though.

I would love to read all of them:) I just started to write drabbles 3 weeks ago, so there's not many. I wrote a 20 piece series, and 5 standalones so far, including the two for this prompt, but planning on writing more.

You can find all my fic on AO3:) Knock yourself out. Where is your fic?

[neyah444.livejournal.com]

On ffnet, under the same username. Strange that I've never heard about AO3 before, but I found you. Wow, you have many fanfics:) I'll find time to read them all. Promise. I'm intrigued. Thanks.

[jelazakazone.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I'll check them out.

*blush* Really, you do not need to read them all. I am actually planning to do a post tomorrow (most likely) on my favorite fics that I've written. Start with the ones with a high kudo count, if you are really aiming to read everything:D

Well, you should know something about me. *leans closer* I'm a reading addict, I can't help it. So yeah, I'm really planning to read them all.:) Just watch me! *insert wicked grin*
