I can so see this happening...and now you have me thinking...

[jelazakazone]

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.

[inspired_being]

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.

[jelazakazone]

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.

[rocknvaughn]

Well, I think he would. He killed Nimueh for less. A nice lightning strike oughta do it... *winks*

[jelazakazone]

*sporfle* Heh. I might have to write a sequel to this.

[rocknvaughn]

Yay for sequels! \o/

[jelazakazone]

Hey, I didn't make any promises there....Actually, if we are lucky, inspired_being will write something so awesome I won't need to follow up on this. My success at adding on to drabbles has not been good to date.

[k_nightfox]

Damn, now that is what I call misguided.

Great job on this, bb!

(And yeah, I think Merlin would wipe Mordred off the face of the planet. Hell, he might even go farther than that...)

[jelazakazone]

Did you read alba17's fic this week? *shudder*

Thanks! I am going to have to think about it. I think that the show has turned Merlin into something he's not.

[k_nightfox]

Let me seek clarification. You think that if Mordred killed Arthur that the Merlin from a prior season wouldn't kill Mordred in retaliation?

[jelazakazone]

Ok, first of all, I don't believe the Merlin we see on the show any more. That's not my headcanon. Having said that, I'm not even sure this Merlin would kill Mordred after Arthur died. I mean, Arthur's dead. He failed. He kills people because he believes Arthur is in danger. I'm not sure he would kill because Arthur's dead. Does that make any sense?

Damn, I wonder what inspired_being is going to write. Part of me is feeling like I need to write a follow up to this to see what would happen, how my headcanon would play out.

[weepingwillow9]

That was so painful! And so like how the actual show could go...

[jelazakazone]

Thanks. Sorry to cause you pain, I mean, but I can't get Mordred out of my head. I keep trying out different scenarios, trying to work out what would happen.
