The Spoils of War

It had been nearly a year, and still Merlin couldn't quite get used to living in the grandeur of Camelot. After the small settlement where he had grown up it still seemed far too much, more than anyone could need.

He gave a tired smile as he passed Will and Freya in the corridor, bickering noisily over some imagined (or not) wrong that Will had

What a dark, intriguing universe. Merlin may be King but he's not really in control of his subjects. Arthur suffering abuse at the hands of the guards and servants is terrible and there's nothing Merlin can do to protect him. The sorcerers took revenge on Uther and now Arthur is biding his time until he can take revenge on the sorcerers. It's wearing Merlin to the bone.

This can only end in bloodshed.

I think you're right. I'm not sure I'd ever want to go back to it, it's pretty grim and as you say it can only end badly.

Really loved it, thanks. Would love to see more.

Thanks, glad you liked it. No more planned on it at the moment though.

Aww, this is so sad! Poor Merlin who never asked for what he got, who honestly thought he was protecting Arthur. And, yeah, it doesn't seem like there is anything Merlin could do to make things right between them.

Yeah, I know, it was very grim. It's sort of depressed me for the week I think! Fluff in future, definitely. Thanks for reading and commenting :)
