7. Gaia - Free Day

The final installment of the Mercelot Week 2022 drabbles from me.

“It was brave, Merlin,” Lancelot said as they walked, smiling slightly as he watched a stag dashing across their path a few paces aheaad, “Going after Gaius’ well. You could have asked someone else for help. Any other deity might have been able to help, and yet you went after Nimueh alone.”

“Alone but for a sheep,” Merlin grinned, “And, you know what they say…where there’s a wool there’s a way.”

Lancelot paused, steps faltering.

He stared at Merlin, “Really?”

Merlin shrugged and, after only a momentary pause, Lancelot smirked and shrugged too, falling back into step beside Merlin.

“I suppose such shear wit is what to expect from the god of revelry,” Lancelot’s smile turned cheeky, the joke and the expression surprising Merlin.

A very happy surprise that drew a startled laugh from his lips.

“And, getting Arthur to defy his father?” Merlin asked, “Is that what comes with being the god of beauty?”

Lancelot’s expression fell, “It is possible to manipulate by beguiling with beauty.”

“So why you wait so long?”

A soft sigh escaped Lancelot’s lips, “You were going to follow me. To become trapped yourself. I loathe manipulation through beauty. By any means, but…beauty is meant to uplift others, their spirits and give them hope. It should not force others to act against their will.”

“So…if I hadn’t tried to go after you…” Merlin frowned, “You would have just let Uther take you?”

“Rather than force Arthur. Yes.”

Merlin stopped, taking Lancelot’s arm gently, “Do you really think Arthur wants to obey Uther? Don’t you think that being given the chance to defy Uther for once was liberating? You gave him the power to do that, even if it was just for a moment.”

Lancelot smiled hesitantly, not making eye contact, “Do you suppose Arthur will be alright?”

“With Uther?” Merlin nodded, taking Lancelot by the shoulder and continuing to walk, “Arthur will be fine. Uther needs him. He’s the only being from the underworld with any semblance of free will who can leave the realm. Uther might be angry, but he won’t do anything to Arthur.”

Lancelot nodded, “I hope you’re right.”

“I am, so don’t worry,” Merlin squeezed his shoulder lightly, “And don’t feel guilty.”

Another smile graced Lancelot’s lips, “Thank you, Merlin.”

“Ewe are welcome.”

Lancelot laughed, the sound bright and lilting, rich and musical.

“How long are the sheep puns going to last Merlin?”

The dark-haired god shrugged, "Until it becomes unbaaarible."

With another smirk, Lancelot shook his head, "I can't imagine you ever becoming unbearable, Merlin."

Grinning broadly, Merlin linked an arm through Lancelot's, starting to talk about other matters, to chat over things unrelated to the underworld or sheep or their mission, in the back of his mind running through all the possible ways he could conceivably make this journey last for as long as possible.

He had barely known Lancelot before this misadventure, and now, he found he really didn't want to let him go.

At least, not yet

Mercelot Week 2022 😉

Day 1. Medusa – Transformations/Curses

But It’s You I Fell Into

Fluff bordering on crack because body swap.

Day 2. Paris – Love Triangle/Choices

I’ve Made Up My Mind, I Ain’t Wasting No More Time

After defeating the Immortal Army, Lancelot is all “should I stay or should I go?” and Merlin provides the answer.

Day 3. Midas – Beauty/Greed

Something that Can’t Be Denied

Merlin is Lancelot’s biggest cheerleader. Dialogue-only teeth-rotting fluff.

Day 4. Icarus – Pushing Limits/Setting Boundaries

The Two of Us Could Run and Live a Peaceful Life

Some things cannot be because their sense of duty always wins in the end.

Day 5. Persephone – Imprisonment/Family (Bonus Prompt: Royalty)

And Nothing Else Matters

AU where Merlin and Lancelot flee Camelot and become bandits Robin Hood-style. Goes from domestic fluff to drama and angst pretty quickly.

Day 6. Orpheus – Commitment/Failure

This One Goes Out to the One I’ve Left Behind

A Very Sad Drabble.

Day 7. Gaia – Free Day

A Santi Triptych because how could there not be.

(Thank you @mercelotweek, it's been a blast!)

Hello all!

Mercelot Week 2022 is quickly approaching and I wanted to give you an update on badges.

Last year I put together cute little edits for each day's prompt, but I do not have the energy to make edits so instead you will all get digital calligraphy!

What does that mean? Just wait and see!
