Hey look, I wrote a drabble
by me
I had a paper proposal due yesterday, and I didn't want to write it, and suddenly I found myself writing this Merlin drabble instead. It takes place about nine years pre-series and features Destiny (but not Chicken) and hints of Arthur/Gwen.
Once Upon A Time
The first time the twelve-year-old boy who would be King Arthur met the eleven-year-old girl who would be Queen Guinevere, he said, “That’s not a maidservant! Or if she is, she’s the sorriest one I’ve ever seen.” He laughed, and Gwen looked down and blushed furiously. And then Morgana (ten years old, future sorceress) shrieked, “You leave her alone!” and pounced on him, kicking and scratching like a wildcat. He went wailing to his father with his lip bleeding and somehow he was the one who ended up getting in trouble. It was not an auspicious beginning.
