So, I picked up the gauntlet and accepted

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 fourth:

‘You judge wrong, by Saint John,’
he said to her, and smiled.
‘There is no other one
and won’t be for a while!’

“You know you love me.”

He said it with a smile, the twinkle never dying from his eye.

“More’s the pity, I do. But a fool is as easily gotten as replaced.”

“Merlin! You wound me. I, as you well know, am one of a kind. The mold is broken and never shall another be made.”

“The mold may be broken but who’s to say it can’t be mended?”

“Would you wield your power thus?”

The sorcerer sighed.

“For you, Gwaine. I’d sunder the veil itself and drag you screaming to my side.”

“Don’t think I’d fight that hard.”
