I really enjoyed this! ♥ Love how you've put Mordred into the story, he's one of my favorite characters and I adore it when people write about him. To me, what he did to Arthur was completely understandable; I'm not saying that Arthur is a bad teacher or anything, but I guess it'd be hard for him to understand that humiliation (even an unintentional one) is just about the worst thing you can inflict on a teenager. I'm glad Mordred is getting professional help now. *gives him a hug <3* And the red-eyed duck of doom™ is awesome. Also, I laughed so hard when Arthur told Merlin to "walk it off"--yay for random references to the audio commentaries, I say! :P
...Feel free to disregard this because I'm probably just an overeager fangirl missing the point, but... based on the doodles, I'd say that Mordred might have had a bit of a crush on Merlin, what with him 'saving' him from Arthur all the time? THAT IS SO CUTE. Cute as in I'm-going-to-give-him-a-hug-if-he-gets-any-cuter!cute. I don't even. X//D Really, it just makes me go "awww" and feel sorry for Mordred, rather than yelling "Die, evil bastard!" which is probably the reaction you were going for. I'm very good at missing the point like that. :P Actually, I find myself hoping for (pfft, who am I kidding--ready to bribe you into writing with virtual cookies, I should say) a sequel of sorts... maybe Merlin could pay Mordred a visit to see how he's doing, once things have calmed down a little, and find out about Mordred's feelings and be traumatized? I'm sure Mordred wouldn't actually say anything, given his rather private nature, but maybe he's so happy about Merlin visiting him that Merlin puts two and two together. Cue an incredibly awkward scene of Merlin trying to tell Mordred that he's flattered, really, but is quite happy with Arthur if you disregard the fact that he can be an utter ass (nevermind Mordred being like, too young, and also Merlin's student), and Mordred being really dejected and hiding it poorly, and Merlin feeling horrible and guilty about the whole thing. Bonus points if he tells Arthur about it later, still guilty and things, and Arthur is weirded out. Hilariously. ... Er, of course you don't have to, it's just an idea! ♥
Um... sorry, that was just my giant soft spot for Merlin/Mordred talking. I'm not actually sick in the head, I swear! Again, feel free to ignore me! ^^;
