Fic: Myth, Memory, History (a drabble)
Title: Myth, Memory, History
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I own nothing but an overactive imagination. And a computer.
Summary: Merlin considers the future and Arthur's place in it.
Warnings/spoilers: None
Words: 100
A/N: Not beta-ed.
History will remember Arthur as a great King.
Some will speak of his skill with the sword, his seat upon his horse, his fearless leadership and his brilliant strategic mind. Others will comment on his benevolence, his generosity, and his fairness. Poets will pen wistful sonnets about his beauty, his charm and his infinite capacity to care.
None will speak of him as he is now. Asleep in my arms: vulnerable and tender and boyish even in his advancing years. Stripped of the pomp and ceremony and armour.
History will remember Arthur the King.
I will remember Arthur the man.
