two Merlin drabbles

[sophinisba]

I just wrote two Merlin drabbles! One of them is a dribble-drabble! You guys, remember dribbles?! So much fun! The other one is 50/50. I would still like more prompts.

Title: Done Dreaming
Fandom: Merlin
Characters: Gwen/Lancelot
Rating: PG-13?
Words: 100 (dribble-drabble!)
Notes: for claudia603's prompt "Gwen Lancelot magic"

I'm
done dreaming
about Arthur or
Merlin making me moan.
I found my own knight
when he called me his lady.
Then he left to wander the kingdom
while I wait here wondering in the night.
There's a need where he should be, an ache
that my fingers don't soothe and my fantasies don't fill.
But he'll return to the circle of my arms
as all roads circle back to my castle.
I am no lady waiting for rescue.
I am no witch casting spells.
I call him without magic
but he hears me.
When I come
he comes
home.


Title: Trapped
Fandom: Merlin
Characters: Arthur/Merlin (or Arthur and Merlin)
Rating: G
Words: 100
Notes: for slightlytookish's prompt "Merlin, Arthur, trapped"

It's a dance they do. It's a list of words they avoid saying aloud, that's growing longer every day. The more they practice the easier it is to be close without touching deep, the harder to take a step outside, to say, "I want," "I once," "I am," "I know."

Ealdor was unexpected, a stumble, almost enough to make them break free, but not quite. On the road home they both half hope they'll be caught, trapped, with no escape but by magic. Instead they return to Camelot, trapped in the dance of a day like every other day before.

oooh!!! I love mine! That is so perfect for the prompt! I call him without magic and he hears. *happy sigh*

They are so in love and they don't know about the coming angst! I had so much fun writing that omg!

Both are beautiful, especially the first one!! Lancelot!!!!

[sophinisba]

Aw, thank you. I remember when you watched your first ep, but did you ever get a chance to see the Lancelot one? Claudia and I made some of the girls watch it last night and baranduin was making fun of his haircut the whole time, but I think he's lovely.

I DID!!!! I love Isaac from Heroes and I think Lancelot is hot, hotter than Arthur even!

My memories of canon Merlin are pretty rusty, but did Gwen ended up with Arthur or Lancelot?

[sophinisba]

You mean canon like Arthurian legend? Gwinevere marries Arthur but has an affair with Lancelot, and there's no happy ending for anybody... but it some versions there are threesomes!

I think Lancelot is hot, hotter than Arthur even!

I agree with this! That is, I've come to consider Arthur hot now because I read Merlin/Arthur fic that's hot like burning, but if it were just the characters on the show I'd probably be more into Lancelot. I hope we get to see more of him in season 2, and that he continues to flirt with everybody.

Yep, Arthurian legend canon. Not really sure what to call it since I think there have been many movies and TV series on Merlin? The one that I remember the most is that movie with Richard Gere, can't remember the title - Kinght something?

And in the legend Morgana was an evil witch I think? And was Guinevere a maid in the legend?

Eeep, I love mine so much! Oh boys and their trouble communicating. I liked this line best: The more they practice the easier it is to be close without touching deep, the harder to take a step outside, to say, "I want," "I once," "I am," "I know."

[sophinisba]

Yay, thank you! That was my favorite part too. :)

That dribble-drabble is lovely, and very clever!

[sophinisba]

Thanks! I love dribbles and I'm happy this one ended up being the shape I wanted it to be. :)
