Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Drabble Challenge, part 3
So, I picked up the gauntlet and accepted ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hermitknut's challenge to write a series of drabbles based off Simon Armitage's translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This is 1 of 5 that I did for the challenge.
Each drabble was to be based off a four-line rhyme taken from the larger poem This is the third:
the strike he must receive,
as cruel fate decrees.
The lady begs her leave –
at once Gawain agrees.
“You’re really gonna go through with this?”
“You know I have to.”
“Of all people, I never thought you would be this stupidly noble!”
“Merlin..”
“No! If you’re determined to kill yourself, I’m not going to watch and I’m damn well not going to mourn you!”
“I don’t want you to do either.”
“You stupid wanker! Don’t you know I love you, you son of a bitch?”
Merlin hurls himself at Gwaine and slams their lips together in a bruising kiss before he whirls away and storms from the room.
