Aletheia

It’s not that Merlin hates being in the middle. Arthur’s bed is big enough for three grown men, especially if one is as skinny as Merlin. It’s just that the king and the first knight always gravitate to the middle, effectively quashing him.

Lancelot would tuck his head into Merlin’s neck, one of his legs trapping Merlin’s. The man is so selfless that Merlin doesn’t have the heart to shove him off, even if his flyaway hair tickles.

Arthur would toss and turn, kicking the blanket off no matter how cool the night air is. Then, lying on top of the covers, he would turn on his side and half-lie across Merlin.

Some nights, Merlin would gently extricate himself and slip quietly next door. Gwen always scoots over to make space for him in Morgana’s bed. Most nights, however, he would lie overheated under his lovers’ embrace, awake and content.

A/N: Cut it down to 150 words. Go me!

In my fanon, Gwen and Morgana keep an extra nightgown* for the nights when Merlin drop by. It's important that they match~ after all.
Also, Santiago Lancelot grows his luscious locks out thanks to Merlin's Pout of Magnitude. The HEA end.

“We have five Harrys and one Albus in our year. I suppose we’re bound to have a Merlin sooner or later.”

Adding a half-stir to his potion, Merlin Emrys gave a noncommittal hum.

“It’s an unusual name for a Muggleborn though.”

“Never knew my dad. Might be a half-blood for all I know,” Merlin said lightly.

“Why are you being so talkative?” He turned to his Potions partner. “I thought Slytherins keep to themselves.”

“Ravenclaws aren’t so bad,” Scorpius Malfoy said dismissively.

Blue-grey eyes regarded him with curiosity. “There’s something about you, Merlin. I can’t put my finger on it.”

A/N: The dialogue flow in this drabble bugs me, but I'm not sure how to fix it =/

Punchline requires knowledge of Merlin 1X01, sry =P

This LJ post will be updated as I write more drabbles in this 'verse. If this ends up being more than 25 X 100 words, I'll give up and write a proper fic set in this universe X_x;;

Because all the cool Merlin kids did it, and I saw givemethebook (IIRC) did a ten-drabbles version & b_hallward (?) did a CONTINUOUS storyline.
This was hard. How did people do it in order, stick to the storyline, and make all of them Merlin/Arthur? =O

Remix of lye_tea's Fairytale Floss for remixthedrabble. I like how this one turned out; I basically lifted phrases from the original and changed the context. The original phrases refer to Light/Misa, Misa & Ryuuk etc., but I turned it around, changed the speaker and the story =3

This is...sort of technically pre-femmeslash, I guess?
In Death Note, after the epic Kira/L awesomeness, the OMGSoObvious pairing is Rem/Misa.

Ron would never admit this to anyone, not Harry and certainly not Hermione, but when he was ten he wrote a letter asking for admission to Durmstrang.

He never did send the letter. When the twins scared him with Giant Squid stories, he would picture that letter, tucked away in a chest under his bed with his old teddy.

Once sorted into Gryffindor, he forgot all about the letter until the Durmstrang delegation arrived for the Triwizard tournament.

He wouldn't trade his friendship with Harry for anything, but just imagine: he could've gone to the same school as Viktor Krum!

When Arthur was six, he faced down a dragon with a wooden sword.

The dragon (a monster as big as a mountain!) took one look at his toy sword and snorted.

"You don't scare me, dragon! Knights always kill the monsters in the end!"

"Prince Arthur Pendragon," the dragon said, as if Arthur had not spoken. "The world will kill and eat you. But not if you eat the heart of the world first."

Arthur frowned. The dragon wasn’t following the storyline.

"Two golden children sharing one destiny."

In the morning, he would think that it was all a dream.

Answers merlin100's sword prompt & writing_game's exasperating prompt
The dragon's prophecy is inspired by Sylvia Plath's poem "Mary's Song" ("O golden child the world will kill and eat.")

“A prince’s favour is a precious commodity,” his father once told him before taking his favourite horse away.

Arthur had taken the lesson to heart, doling out equal camaraderie to noblemen’s sons and equal flattery to their daughters.

Except he had slipped horribly—over Merlin, of all people—and it was no use to protest that he’s mine or you gave him to me, because he had not forgotten that Apple was a present when he turned seven.

His father had no rights on his manservant (his friend, his favourite), and still he left marks of possession on Merlin’s skin.

"I shouldn't have kissed you."

"Sorry?"

"I'm sometimes bad at receiving other people's signals. Not as bad as you, obviously—"

Merlin gave Gwen a confused little smile.

"And with what you said about Prince Arthur last night, I realized you only feel that way for one man in particular."

He opened his mouth to ask What way?, but Gwen went on, "I'm glad we can be friends."

She was looking at him with a painfully earnest expression, and he couldn't bring himself to correct her—that this was not the secret that he was keeping from her.

"...Thank you."

“Do I really have to come out to my parents?” He wheedled.

“If you want this relationship to work, then yes.” Of course his boyfriend would prove unmovable on the subject.

Al pouted. “Why aren’t you the one panicking? Being the sole Malfoy heir and all that.”

Scorpius lowered his glasses and gave him a look. “Unlike your parents, my parents were perceptive enough to guess that I’m gay back in fourth year.”

Al blanched. “You mean—”

“When my dad said, ‘I’m glad my son has you to take care of him,’ he didn’t mean it platonically,” Scorpius said.

"'He' was a girl!" were the first words out of Draco’s mouth when he returned from his Prefect rounds near the greenhouses.

Pansy couldn't help it; she broke into giggles over Draco's flabbergasted expression.

Under Draco's reproachful glare, she finally got herself together and asked, "Who are you talking about, and how did you find out this fascinating information?"

He tried to fake nonchalance, but the blush across his cheekbones was unmistakable. "It’s that quiet Ravenclaw Fifth Year who smiles a lot. We were walking past the rose garden, and this vine came out of nowhere and tripped me—"

In other news, even though Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) is a cheap, loli-shota knock-off of Kaori Yuki's Count Cain, I did enjoy the Bengali Prince arc, because no manga is complete without SURPRIZE appearance of South Asian/Middle Eastern/teeny European Kingdom royalty.

Also, can't help but be amused by the American chef (An American chef in a British household? lololol).

Okay, I lie, my fav. character is still the Bengali prince's servant.

He got up and kissed her on the cheek.

"You worry too much, Mother," Draco murmured. "Things will work out, you'll see."

Narcissa grasped her son's hand in hers. "But you are sure this is what you want?"

He looked at her steadily. "Yes, this is what I want. Being with Harry, spending the rest of my life with him, it wasn’t a decision that either of us took lightly. I know it's not what you and Father have in mind for me, but—"

Narcissa's expression softened. "Oh Draco. As long as you're happy, I'll always support your decision."

“Draco, Pansy’s your guest,” Narcissa said. “You should be gracious to guests.”

“Let her play with it for a little while, darling. When you visit the Parkinson Estate, you can play with Pansy’s toys.”

“Don’t want stupid girl toys. The broom’s all mine! Daddy said so.”

Narcissa arched an eyebrow. “All right. But you’re not having any guest over until you learn hospitality rules.”

Draco frowned.

“Pansy is a lady. You should be nice to ladies.”

1. What Dreams by suaine, PG
Summary: There was always a price. The balance of nature was transactional - one thing of a certain value required the sacrifice of equal value given up by the one who asked.

But Arthur never finished those thoughts, kept all of his heart locked up tight. Merlin knew what he was going to say anyway, knew of the way Arthur kept looking over his shoulder when he thought no one was watching. Arthur had nightmares, dreams of a world without him in it, all the more terrible for their warmth and muted beauty, hitting like a physical blow when he woke up.

"Well, this is awkward," Merlin said from his kneeling position on the floor.

Gwen let out a helpless giggle behind her hand. Lancelot, ever the gentlemanly knight, kept his eyes on Merlin's face. He was favoring his left ankle, Merlin noted. A sprain from training exercises, perhaps.

Arthur, red-faced and flustered, pulled on his long red tunic. "You're giving them the wrong idea!"

"Right, of course," Merlin said distractedly. "I wasn't performing any...extracurricular service. I was merely giving the king a physical examination."

"Oh, is that what they're calling it these days?" Gwen said with a smirk worthy of Morgana.

The first time Merlin kissed Arthur, they were standing on an ocean of grass.

Merlin trembled a little, and the kiss remained chaste until Arthur pulled at his stupid scarf—trust Merlin to be wearing a scarf on a glorious summer day—and plundered Merlin's lips.

The grass was heavy with dew, and later Arthur would find mud dotting the back of his jeans. But right this moment he could only listen to the tiny sounds Merlin made at the back of his throat.

The first time Arthur kissed Merlin, just two nights ago, he had thought Merlin was asleep.

[ LJ | IJ | DW ]

isiscolo's Remixy meta (for remixthedrabble):

The great thing about very short forms is that at their best they concisely express one single idea. A true drabble has to encapsulate set-up, crisis, and punchline in a mere hundred words. So it's a natural transformation, I think, to take a story and distill it into its essence, when one has only a few hundred words to work with - I think it's easier to get sidetracked when you need to write a longer story.

I've signed up both as remixer and remixee =) It's a Drabble Purist Round this time.

If the idea of remixing intrigue you at all, consider offering your fic up to be remixed. You don't have to write anything to have someone else remix your fic. (You only need to have written five drabbles in one fandom to qualify!)

Sloth & Pride are companion drabbles. Everything else stands on its own. I'm not cool enough to make all seven drabbles related, sadly.
I want to do another sins set in the future (with different characters & prefferrably an interconnected storyline) because these ones come across as sympathetic & rather tame.

"Gluttony" - Gaius, G
( Gaius grew up in a small village where going hungry during lean winters was a fact of life. )

"Wrath" - Uther, Igraine, G
( Given time, perhaps his queen could have tempered his iron grip )

"Envy" - Morgana, PG
( If only she could trade her visions )

"Sloth" - Merlin, Arthur, G
( If he had polished Arthur's armour by hand, this wouldn't have happened. )

"Pride" - Arthur, Merlin, G
( Arthur had always prided himself of his judgment. )

"Lust" - Lancelot/Gwen, Arthur, PG-13
( The first time it happened, they were young and carefree in love. )

"Greed" - Mordred, Arthur, G
( 'Your precious prince, now grown old to be a pitiful king.' )

1. Is there a Merlin LDWS comm. somewhere? We have Merlin tweetfic comm., there should be a Merlin LDWS, yeah?
LJ, IJ, DW, doesn't matter.

2. Also, LDWS comm.s, why the high upper limit? 499-word = flopsy, not a drabble. And 1K words = ficlet, not a drabble.
This is what modding a drabble community get you, you turn into a purist without realizing it =P

3. You know what Merlin pastiche hasn't been done yet? Merlin/FMA. So, Merlin characters in an FMA-like world.
Consider this: magic ~ balance // alchemy ~ equivalent exchange.

Merlin saves Arthur's life but Something Goes Horribly Wrong. Arthur comes back to life, but now he's caught in a never-ending loop of Saving the Day and Dying a Bloody, Tragic Death at a Terribly Young Age.
After the however many times Merlin had Arthur dying in his arms, Merlin swears to break the circle. But what does Merlin have left to offer up in exchange (and not having Arthur die on him again?)

Depressing plotbunny is depressing.

"I saw him first!" Merlin protested.

"He smiled at me!"

"No way is someone that gorgeous straight."

"Contrary to what you believe, Merlin, people can be attracted to both genders."

"Uh-huh, they’re called Closet Cases," he said with a straight face. "Or, Morgana-is-just-a-roommate-nothing-happened-Merlin."

Predictably, Gwen smacked his arm.

"Oh God, he's coming over here. What do I do?" Gwen hid her face behind a cupped hand.

"Did you change your mind? Can I have him?"

"Merlin!" Gwen couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll keep his blond friend distracted; you go and dazzle him." Merlin slid down his bar stool. "Good luck!"

2. [identity crisis] On Race, or Privilege, Or Just Being Human

Rights, I guess, equals entitlement, equals a demand for privilege. It's hard for me to think of a right to be free when I've grown up in a family and a society where my family members - and country members - have sacrificed everything they are (in "Western terms") for their family. Their time, all their income, every inch of their soul and being, in family. Their children are their assets, their stability is their bedrock. Whatever right one has to be something less than practical, to leave the family home, that right gets overwhelmed by other desires. Same as freedom. The desire to see parents happy, or the wish for a smooth life, even in exchange for doing what one loves.
