I need a fic where Merlin doesn’t know he’s Emrys and doesn’t know about his destiny, he’s just a good person who sees someone constantly almost dying and saves him because he can’t just sit and do nothing.
Kilgharrah doesn’t exist. Plot holes aside, the bitchy basement gecko can go to hell.
Anyway.
This all takes place during The Beginning of The End episode.
Mordred doesn’t call Merlin Emrys, he just cries out for help (and for his dad). Merlin steps in, the rest of the episode is the same but Merlin is determined to help the druid boy he found. Without crusty dinosaur harping on, he gets to choose the right thing for his own morals and critical thinking. Gaius is unsurprisingly resistant, so Merlin is being extremely careful, then Arthur finds him in Morgana’s chambers while he’s healing Mordred.
Let’s go with Morgana already knows about Merlin’s magic and he’s been helping her too against Gaius’ advice.
Arthur feels betrayed and is upset because Merlin can’t seem to give him a straight answer about anything. It’s all still new to him, but he’s learning that Merlin is good even if he doesn’t answer any of Arthur’s questions about magic or why he doesn’t use spells or anything like that. He’s angry but he can’t punish Merlin and free Mordred without being hypocritical, so he mostly sulks.
In all the perceived lies, Arthur snaps and instead of punishing him, he doesn’t let Merlin leave his side until he tells the truth.
So when Arthur takes Mordred back to the Druids, Merlin goes with him. Iseldir greets them as “Emrys and The Once and Future King” They’re both confused, but obviously Arthur is the future king so Arthur asks who Iseldir thought Merlin was.
Iseldir reveals their destiny that Merlin is the god of magic. Merlin is silent and Arthur is so confused and hurt about why Merlin didn’t trust him.
Iseldir answers all of Arthur’s questions about destiny and the prophecy while Merlin doesn’t say a word. He takes it to mean Merlin is ashamed or something similar about the truth coming out, meanwhile Merlin is grappling with the fact that he supposedly isn’t human. After days of Arthur picking on him for “lying” and all the unintentionally cruel jibes, when Iseldir tries to say Merlin was blessed with his power and that it was something he should be grateful for.
Merlin breaks down in a Percy Jackson style “I’m not a god! There’s something wrong with me! I get that whatever I am isn’t supposed to happen, I know I’m a monster, believe me. I never even learned magic and every time I’ve tried to get rid of it, it’s almost killed me! So don’t tell me that this is a blessing, that this curse is something I should be happy about because it’s the reason I’ve spent every single day of my entire life terrified!” Then he stops for a second and the tears roll down his cheeks, “I’m sorry, but I’m not what you think I am. You need to find someone else to believe in.”
(Skip to the end for a happy ending, this is angsty. Warning for dark!Arthur and major character death)
Arthur thinks Merlin is lying and banishes him on the spot. Iseldir warns against it, but Merlin is just so tired so he doesn’t fight it. He’s left broken and believing he’s a monster, so be leaves to protect his friends.
Until a month or so later Arthur is on a hunt when he gets separated and lost, then injured by bandits. Merlin finds him, (he’s been sent off by the druids for failing this destiny he knew nothing about, in search of a solution but they’re not very forthcoming with information) and Merlin heals him. Then they get all the diamond of the day moments while Merlin is nursing Arthur back to health until he succumbs to infection.
Merlin gives his life for Arthur, knowing that he’ll be a good king. This leads Arthur to become really dark, he kills his father and takes over Camelot, welcoming magic but killing anyone with a different opinion. No one is safe, war breaks out and Camelot falls. When Arthur dies, young and during an uprising, he meets Merlin again in Avalon. Merlin doesn’t recognise Arthur with all he’s become, and Arthur is punished to watch all his people suffer with his old mind while watching Merlin continuously pushing him away because “he’s waiting for Arthur, he shouldn’t be alone when he gets here. He would’ve been a good king, he needs someone to take care of him now.” And it breaks Arthur’s heart to hear it every time.
That’s all I got so far, it could be that they’re both driven mad waiting, Arthur by watching his people and Merlin by waiting for a man he’s doomed to never recognise again. I’m not sure, I haven’t gotten that far.
Or for less angst, hurt/comfort where Arthur has to realise that Merlin is just as in the dark as he is, he really doesn’t know any of the questions Arthur had and he’s probably been looking for answers a lot longer. They work together to fix everything and while it’s difficult, Merlin still has issues with lying to protect his friends (intent/outcome issues) Arthur is too trusting still and they have to deal with Morgause and all the other threats but they overcome it together. Albion is united and they live happily ever after.

Hi! Okay so you seem like a very well-read person and I’d love to know if you have a list of your favorite Merlin fics. I just bookmarked all the ones you recommended in relation to the 10 best episodes and now I need more! I’m going on a training camp and would love to have something fairly long to download to my kindle so I can read on flights and when I don’t have data 🥰
Thanks so much in advance!
(Also, I LOVE your writing, I’m so glad to be part of this fandom with talented people like you!)
Hey! Thank you so much for your kind words! OF COURSEE I'd love to recommend you some fics! Likewise— the creativity of this fandom never ceases to amaze me :)
*cracks knuckles and pretends my eyes aren't lighting up rn because my time has finally come*
Long fic recs (50K-100K+)
1. to the world that never let you be by ImperialMint. Look. I'll hand out my own throat so willingly to any scar reveal fic. The trope is just so dear to my heart, and this one in particular was something else. It broadly covered every single feeling you might be looking for in a Merlin fic, and its characterization of both Arthur and Merlin was top tier. I basically sell my soul to any fic that does justice to their characterization, and this one did so much more than that.
2. What I'd Have Done by @flight-of-fantasy. I solemnly swear you will never read something like this fic. I read it in one day from how on edge I was all the time. I had to recount it to my friends in the timespan of three hours because of how much screaming and dramatic pauses there was. Simply, the brilliance of plot here is unmatched. Arthur's characterization as a strategist shook my innards, and Merlin's unapologetic nature was chef's kiss. It's so hard not to give away the plot while recommending this so just.. just read it.
3. Redemption by flakedice, Zerda. Soon, you will find a parallel post to the best 10 episodes with the worst 10, featuring first and foremost The Disir. Honest to God, I could literally go on ages ranting about how much agony this episode brought me. It was the blow that awoke my eyes to the possibility of fuck, this show isn't going to end well. I once thought about shitting on that episode like I did with 5×13 in My heart is readily yours, but fics like these hold me back because they already gave us everything. It gave us the ending we deserved. Gold. Everything in this was gold. The world building, the character development, the fact that Arthur has been given time. Truly a fix-it that fix-ed my heart.
4. Talking about deviations from The Fucking Disir, The World I Built for You by Fulgance is a must. It was the first fic I've read from the How They Didn't Find Out (magic reveal one-shots) series, and from then on I was * s o l d *. Whichever fic you decide to read from this, I guarantee you, you will have the time of your life. Fulgance is the one author I will always recommend without a shadow of a doubt. There is not a single work of theirs that will disappoint you. They will only break you.
5. Deep In My Heart I'm Concealing by @citharaposts. True story about this fic, I squealed when I read its summary. “I'm not standing here as a king, Merlin!” was the quickest catalyst to ever make me start a fic. I specifically wrote a spoiler-free comment for the author and left it in the first chapter so that anyone who's thinking about whether or not to go into yet another 100K fic will rest assured that it's an amazing ride. Have real fun with this one.
6. It Was One Kingdom, Once by queerofthedagger. Two things, if they happen, you leave everything behind and go thank your God for blessing you with it: @queerofthedagger posting a new Merlin fic, and it being a Royal Hanahaki AU. Like so many other tropes the author has nailed, this was the best Hanahaki I've ever read (across fandoms). It's so intricate and detailed and the world building is on another level. If our world was burning and I had only one thing to save, it'll be the works of this author.
Hope I helped, and hope you have so much fun in your camp!◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕

❝FIREWHISKEY.❞
Tumblr media
(not my gif)
summary: liquid courage - that's firewhiskey. a drink you and george can both overindulge in, sometimes, but it always seems to bring you closer together.
warnings: fluff central, alcohol (obviously), underage drinking, hangovers, mentions of vomiting, just a disclaimer, it’s been several years since i last picked up the harry potter series, you can probably guess the reason why, so i SINCERELY doubt everything will perfectly follow the timeline. my friend asked me to write something for the twins for her birthday and gave me her blessing to post, please know i’m trying my best lol. this is set loosely during the summer where the weasleys and friends attend the world cup. (google confused me on the twins’ ages so they’re seventeen, not sixteen.)
word count: 1k
tag list: @mizu-soup
a/n: happy birthday fred and george! psst...when i first posted the sneak peek of this fic, i said i had written SCENES for george, not just this singular one you'll (hopefully) read after the "read more" line. i'm planning to post these scenes as a little ficlet series eventually and develop george and reader's relationship more (firewhiskey is the main theme in all of them, as you can probably guess) but my life is a total dumpster fire at the moment, so who knows how fast that'll happen. please enjoy for now :) i love you
//////
Up on the highest floor of the Burrow, the window was a thin, uncurtained rectangle stretching up to the roof, and early in the morning, if, say, you’d gotten so drunk on Firewhiskey the night before you’d blacked out and subsequently forgotten to hoist Ginny’s old mattress up against the wall to cover it, the sunrise nearly blinded you and every other occupant of the room come 7 AM.
Not the most pleasant awakening one could have in the early morning.
“Merlin,” Fred moaned, wincing at the stream of sunlight and shoving his face into the pillow. “Ron, get the bloody mattress.”
“Why does it have to be me?” Ron cried, bounding up from the misshapen heap of blankets on the floor.
“You’re closest, you moron!” George snapped back. “Dunno about Fred, but my head’s pounding, Y/N woke up with her head in the bucket…”
“I’m awake, George,” you bit out from the opposite side of the room, absentmindedly grabbing onto the rim of the bucket in case you were to throw up again: your mouth tasted like something had died and rotted in your throat, and your voice sounded rough and gravelly from the dehydration. “Fuck, that’s the last time I’m drinking Firewhiskey…”
“You lot okay?” Harry whispered from opposite Ron on the floor. You didn’t think anything of it at the time, but he was clutching his forehead, gently rubbing his scar. Regardless of what it may have meant, you felt pity for him: you, Fred, and George might have just turned seventeen, and had drank Firewhiskey plenty before you’d legally been able to, but Harry was fourteen, much too young for a hangover. God, he’d only wanted a sip, why’d you let it go this far?
“We’re alive, I think,” Fred groaned as Ron got up to block the window; his voice was still muffled from his head in the pillow. “Mum will have everything in the pantry for a Rejuvenation Potion, right?”
“Reckon we can nick the cauldron from Percy’s room?” you put in tiredly, rolling over onto your back to stare at him.
George snorted and rolled his eyes. “Oh, no, Y/N, that’s gonna be impossible.”
You’d opened your mouth to hit him with a snarky remark of your own, but too late: in a blink of an eye, George had vanished.
Before you could even roll your eyes at how abruptly he disappeared— and how clever he obviously thought he was as you’d failed your Apparition Test three times in a row and still couldn’t legally do it — he’d Apparated back into the room with a small rusty cauldron in his hands.
“Percy’s in the kitchen,” he told the room, his grin as smug as ever. “Go down and distract him for me, will you? Look alive, you lot.”
The sunlight no longer a threat to his wellbeing, Fred rose from the squashed, broken mess of a couch, rubbing his eyes. “I’ll see what Mum’s making for breakfast.”
He Disapparated, but not fast enough for you not to spot his identical grin. You had to glare at the wall. They loved teasing you, and no matter how much you may have loved them, you’d never hear the end of it.
There was an awkward silence as everyone seemed unwilling to move.
“Ron, get out,” George said, looking over at the misshapen heap of blankets that bore a wincing Ron.
“Fuck you,” he shot back immediately, and George grinned.
“You better not let Mum hear that sass. Harry, I love you mate, I don’t want to sound like I’m kicking you out, but can you leave me and Y/N alone for a moment? Potion’s gonna take, like, fifteen minutes to brew.”
“No problem,” Harry groaned, reaching for his glasses as he climbed to his feet. “Ron, c’mon.”
Much slower than either of the twins, Ron got up, wobbled to the door with his best friend’s aid, and with the loud CREAK of the door opening, they were gone. George was already taking the ingredients he’d gathered out of the cauldron: you saw several packets of herbs, tiny vials of juices, and a large stirring spoon.
Working deftly, he pointed his wand at the pan underneath the cauldron. “Incendio.”
A fire ignited immediately.
“Do you think you’re gonna vomit again?” he asked you as he ripped a packet of herbs open and dumped them into the cauldron. His voice was so gentle you almost didn’t register he was talking to.
You probably weren’t going to, so you finally let go of the bucket. “I don’t think so.”
“Last time she’s drinking Firewhiskey, she says,” he mocked you, wiggling his shoulders sarcastically. “That’s what you say literally ever morning after, you know.”
Slightly above him on the only bed of the room, you pinned him with the most searing death glare you could manage.
George grinned at you - his real grin, completely free of sarcasm or smugness. “Hang in there, love.”
A small silence fell as you watched him.
“I think if you had any ounce of ambition, you’d be a Healer at St Mungos,” you told him absentmindedly.
“St Mungos!” he gasped, his eyes jumping up to yours as he uncorked a small vial of a mysterious reddish juice. “How dare you, Y/N! You want to set me up with Snape for a few more years?”
You laughed, even though it upset your stomach, which was already growling incessantly. “No, I - I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Jesus, I need some of Molly’s scrambled eggs.”
“Go on without me,” he told you, eyeing a measurement of an equally mysterious brown powder that your Muggleborn background likened to hot cocoa mix. “Tell Mum I’m sleeping and am not to be disturbed. And tell Ron if he rats us out about what happens last night, he’ll wish he was never born.”
“I don’t think he will,” you said tiredly, rising. “But I’ll tell them nonetheless. I love you.”
“I love you too,” he responded. “Stay alive for me.”
You smiled gently; your head was still pounding, and now that you were on your feet, your whole world was spinning. “I’ll try.”

I'm on my nth re-read of books 1-4, and I keep finding new things to be delighted by, on top of the old reliable lines that make me giggle every time. Like in book 4:
“Yeah,” said Harry, whose success had overdosed him with optimism. “Hey, think about this: you reckon I can just Banish the water and walk down?”
“Oh, bless, he thinks he’s Moses.”
How does (presumably pagan-ish or non-religious based on holiday celebrations) Draco know about Moses? Does he think Moses is a wizard??? I mean... he DID accomplish several miracles with a big stick. Any of the implications here make me cackle
Oh this is awesome, I've been wanting to talk about this for ages: I think wizards know what the Bible is! And Christianity, and Judaism and Islam, and I think there are practicing members of all of those religions (and more!) in the Wizarding World. Here's why.
The Bible (Old Testament specifically — Draco's references lean towards the OT because that's the broader cultural referent, it's the common glue of the Bible/Quran/Torah and if wizards know any Abrahamic text, it's that) is a huge, ubiquitous, world-shaping cultural text that was thousands of years old before the International Statute of Secrecy. The date of 1692 for the SOS means that any muggle culture before the 17th century is fair game, even if it's not accepted by wizards. So that's why I think atheist/agnostic/pagan wizards should still have at least referential familiarity with it.
The fact that wizards celebrate Christmas (NOT Yule, although obviously in Lionheart they do both) tells me that there is at least vestigial religious belief in the population. Expressions like "Merlin" in place of "God" tells me that wizards probably have a different relationship with it — Merlin's generally treated as a kind of prophet? — which is giving "splinter sect of Christianity defined by the emergence of Merlin as a separate prophet for wizards," but I'm not gonna spiral too far into that headcanon, because this is a lore analysis post. But that's my working idea, here.
The first-order response to the "what about magic?" problem is: Not everything that happens in the Bible can be explained by the Harry Potter magic system. Water into wine, sure. Resurrection? Impossible, as far as 99% of wizards know. Harry Potter is the only person we know of to be fully resurrected, and even he's never technically full-dead. Moses parting the Red Sea? I mean, we can imagine spells that would do it, but think about how much water is in the fucking sea! We don't see anything of nearly that scope happen in the series. And what about manna? We know for a fact that you can't use magic to make food!
But let's sidebar that, and drill down on what you can explain. Water into wine. Curing the sick. Okay, cool. There's still a big difference between "established in-universe ability that has been ritualized and turned into technology" and "literal miracles." Walk on water? Sure, you could probably perform a spell for that. But does Jesus? Do we know, for a fact, that he had a wand, or that he cast a spell? Had the spell for that been invented yet? Are you even sure he was a wizard? Can we prove it? Moreover, would it matter?
This leads me to my bigger point about the nature of religious belief: if you believe the dude's divine, having magic doesn't change anything, right? Because he's still the son of God. Christians don't believe Jesus was divine because he performed the miracles; they believe he was divine and so performed the miracles. There are many different IRL-theological stances on how much of the supernatural stuff in the Bible "actually happened," and you can be a skeptic about the scientific facets while still subscribing to its broader philosophical and religious claims about God.
Even if you take Jesus and other Abrahamic characters out of the question, there's still a place for religion in wizarding society, because of the afterlife. With the exception of ghosts (who by their account have never been fully "dead," and so don't know it) and inferi, the relation between the wizarding world and the afterlife is a one-way conduit. That means there's still plenty of room for wizards to adopt religious beliefs specifically about the afterlife, and religion would still play a social role in defining how people approached those topics.
Finally, the pagan elements of the Harry Potter series read less to me as an espousal of sincere religious conviction and more as a ritualistic vestige of prehistorical magical practices. Since the universe's magic draws heavily on pagan ceremonies — especially in the realm of potions/herbology/magical creatures — ironically, I can't imagine paganism as a religion in the universe of Harry Potter. Like, it's just straight-up true! It would be like starting a religion around meteorology, or chemistry. There's no element of mystery or divinity involved for faith and belief to fill in the gaps; you know how magic works, and you can be good at it.
What JKR did with the magic system — apparently on accident — was to textually validate huge volumes of pagan practice without invoking any of the associated spiritual or religious beliefs. And since we live for seven years in the mind of a competent, practicing wizard who does tons of magic without seeming to believe in any particular god at all, I have to infer that you don't need to. Rowling has, again, likely not on purpose, built a universe whose central conceit is: "what if the pagans were just straight-up right?" and revealed the answer to be: "well, then it wouldn't be paganism anymore."

Hey, Draco
I got this idea today while listening to "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's because I am nothing if not a fan of 2000s music. Enjoy! (also this is exactly 1k!)
beep
"Hey, Draco—you wanted me to call when I landed. And, er, I landed. I also wanted to say... I know you said that our randomly reconnecting and—what did you call it? 'sharing a night of passion?'—while I was in New York for a holiday is not enough reason to pack up and move over there with you immediately. But I'm just so bloody excited. I've never turned a week's vacation into a month before. I've never gotten off a plane only to want to turn around and buy a one-way ticket. But it's okay. You didn't say no. You just want to take it slow. I can wait. I know I can. As long as it takes."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I just got off work. I'm so bloody tired. Sorry I couldn't call until now. Well, I guess I'm not that sorry, since you're clearly occupied anyway. Because I'm talking to myself. Well, to myself and to some future you who's listening to this. I wonder what future me is doing while you hear this. Probably waiting for you to call me back. What are you waiting for? Call me back already, you git!"
beep
"Hey, Draco—Merlin, I'm tired. It was a long fucking day. It wasn't even the good kind of tired. You know how sometimes after a long day you feel, like, satisfied? I don't think I've felt that way in...I don't remember. My brain is scrambled eggs. I need to go to bed. But I wanted to call you and say hello to your voicemail because I don't have the energy for a normal human conversation. But let's please talk tomorrow. I miss the sound of your voice, and your outgoing message is only so comforting."
beep
"Hey, Draco—last night was so fun. I haven't laughed like that in ages. I'm just glad you couldn't see me cry-laugh like that through the phone. I miss you already. I'm about to make dinner, but I'll call you when I'm eating."
beep
"Hey, Draco—sorry I couldn't talk last night. Ron and Hermione dragged me to the pub and basically interrogated me about why I seem to smile randomly at nothing during the day. I tried to remind them how completely, obnoxiously gone for each other they were at the beginning of their relationship, but then they started pestering me over if I was seeing anyone and who it was and it just—it just came out, okay? I know we said we wouldn't tell people yet but I just. I couldn't help it. My friends said they'd never seen me so happy, and I have a hard time hiding things from them. I hope that's okay. Call me when you get this. Please."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I hope you're asleep right now. I know you had a long day. I just wanted to leave you a message for when you wake up. To tell you I've been thinking about you for—well. Ever since we bumped into each other in line at that coffee shop after not seeing each other for years and you said 'This can't be fucking happening to me,' and I just laughed. So I haven't stopped thinking about you in weeks. Which is a blessing and a curse, really, because thoughts of you distract me from the utterly boring parts of my work day, but when I'm done daydreaming I have to remember that I'm at work and not with you, wiping up spilled coffee and wondering if it's too late to change my flight. I'd much rather think about you all day than do work for even a second."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I thought more about what you said last night. I'm sorry I got...well. I think you'd call it my 'defensive and Gryffindor ego' but I like to think of it as my endearing stubbornness, thanks ever so. Still—I'm sorry. And I thought about it and I think you're right. I'm tired all the time and I'm not having a fun enough time at work to make it worth it. Can you talk? Call me when you can."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I'm doing it tomorrow. Wish me luck."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I did it. I did it, I finally fucking did it. Merlin, you should've seen the look on Robards's face! I'll have to pensive it for you later. God, I have so much adrenaline! I've got the rest of my life to do whatever I want and all the inheritance money I could ever ask for—why on earth did I ever become an Auror? Anyway, call me!"
beep
"Hey, Draco—y'know the thing about being unemployed is that you have a lot of free time on your hands. What am I even supposed to do with my days now? I'm so bored, but at least I can do something about it now. Even though I'd rather do something about it with you."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I don't want to pressure you at all, but it's been six months and I can only handle so many plane rides and portkeys before I start to go a bit mad. Can we please talk about this? I'll still give you time, if that's what you need. But just—let's check in again, okay? I still—my feelings haven't changed."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I really hope you were serious last night. Because I'm buying a ticket right now. I'll see you in a week—thank Merlin for packing spells."
beep
"Hey, Draco—I landed. I'm walking off the plane. I'm in the tunnel thing—the thing you walk through to get on and off, y'know? I'll get a cab and meet you at your flat. I hope the traffic isn't too bad, because I really can't wait to see you and I—oh. Wait, is that—you're here? You're here! You're here at the airport and waving at me. And—and I'm going to hang up now."

where you are, there am i merlin/arthur, ensemble. modern au wedding. originally writting in 2011 because i'm all about reviving and clearning up old fic! wherein uther was brow-beaten and bullied into giving his blessing, arthur thinks he's hilarious, merlin has no idea what goes into a modern royal wedding, thanks, and gwaine is the worst friend in the world (but not really).
"I think I'm going to be sick," Merlin said, keeping himself out of view as he tried to peek through the billowing curtains. He could hear the crowd even if he couldn't really see them and oh god, he was actually going to throw up on his suit and he would have to walk out there in soiled clothes. The headlines would be mocking him, Arthur would never let him live it down, and Uther would have him locked in the tower of London or set on by dogs. Someone was laughing and Merlin knew immediately that it was Gwaine, because apparently he was the worst friend in the world and seemed to enjoy every moment of Merlin's discomfort. "I think you could walk outside after rolling in horse manure and the people would still love you." Merlin gave him a withering look and shifted uncomfortably in his suit. Almost immediately, Gwen was on him, straightening him out and glaring. "If I have to fix this one more time, there won't be a wedding because I will have killed you." "You're just upset because I wouldn't wear a veil."

NOOOO i'm thinking about a post-camlann au with romantic merwen turned romantic mergwenthur 😭🥺 because merlin comes back to camelot after arthur dies and he and gwen struggle with their grief together. they get closer than ever before and navigate this new relationship, but they both automatically leave a space for arthur as if he were there. they both love him dearly and they love each other too and there's a moment when gwen says, "i feel like i'm betraying him." the again, goes unsaid, even though merlin told her that she was enchanted when she kissed lancelot's shade. she still feels like it was her fault. so then merlin takes her hands in his and kisses them tenderly and says, "the thing arthur wanted most in the world was for you to be happy, gwen. are you happy?" and it takes a long, long moment for gwen to answer. she reaches up and traces' merlin's features. "i am." they both miss arthur so much it's like a lost limb, but they love each other enough to make it through the ache of arthur's absence.
BUT THEN. ~magic~ beyond merlin's capabilities brings arthur back to life earlier than planned. but the twist is that while he's dead and in avalon, he watches merlin and gwen get together and he's surprised that he doesn't feel jealousy. just this... undefinable pang in his heart. because merlin's right. he wants gwen to be happy, but the thing merlin missed is that he wants merlin to be happy as well. and if the two people closest to him find comfort between themselves, he gives them his blessing. the only thing he really feels is loss. because he loves them—both of them—and he can so easily see himself slot in the spaces they left.
and then BAM! arthur's back in the living world (don't ask me i'm just here for the drama i can't do logic rn) and then he comes back to camelot and after merlin's various tests on his person, he's home. there's this tension amongst all of them because arthur knows that merlin and gwen are together but neither of them know that arthur knows, so they're trying to keep it a secret or fully stop their relationship which then makes them depressed because they do love each other. and then arthur finally snaps and says, "i watched you two get together in avalon! merlin, if you want to kiss her so badly, do it." and merlin and gwen look at him in shock and merlin's like, "she's your WIFE!" and arthur just rolls his eyes and pulls merlin by his tunic and kisses him. then he lets merlin go and says, "she is. and she loves you and, gods help me, i do too." and gwen comes up and links her hands with both of them and !!! happy polyamorous golden age <3

first and formost, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY <33, you’ve been blessing all of us on this app with your writing for a year now and i’m beyond happy to get to read your work
if at all possible id like to request a 💄 dialogue with draco (i’d be more than happy with a little nsfw if you want but not at all picky) trying to study with him but he has absolutely not attention span and is focusing on anything but his actually work
i know that’s super basic and probably over used but anywho, major congratulations!!
you’ve always been so so sweet and supportive to me ilysm baby thank you <33
join blog anniversary
“Draco! Draco, are you listening?” The snap of your fingers in front of his face get him back to reality as he just focused on nothing but your bare thighs that showing because your skirt has a little effort of covering them due to your position.
“Y-yeah. Yeah ofcourse. I’m sorry.. Zoned out a ‘lil bit” He answered shortly, averting his gaze away from you. God what’s wrong with him. You were here trying to study with him but his sinful thoughts get the best of him, he was just thinking about spreading you on his bed and get in between your legs.
“I’m being serious! We need to pass this test, okay?” He nods but the second you were back to your book while explaining things to him he doesn’t care about, his previous thought coming back to him, the tent in his trousers are growing tighter as he stared at your lips, imagining how good it would feel to fuck your mouth.
“Merlin! What the fuck is wrong with you?” He looked up to your eyes trying to mutter another lie but before he can do that he saw the smirk on your face as he realized you just caught him on the spot.

Merlin's love language is acts of service, and for some reason, that includes risking his life for Arthur every week even when he doesn't need to
it’s like you’re in my head or something, i was literally just rereading one of my little ficlets, thinking about their little three way dynamic of merlin, arthur and death after todays rewatch.
merlin’s a menace all the time and that only naturally includes his love language, but, really, i think my favourite part is how much arthur doesn’t get it. yeah, sure, he knows acts of service, but who in their right mind could get the twisty way merlin’s going about it. my guy could divert an arrow heading straight for arthur with one swift flash of gold and still try and jump in front of it afterwards. i mean, good for him, that’s dedication, but, god, does he need a break. get that oxygen flowing, set things back to normal (well, as much as that can be done). bless his sweet, sweet, slightly concerning soul.

(CW: Religion Talk)
Miss Thunder: Well, the Wheel of the Year spins around again to my favorite season: Fall with the Autumn Equinox! The crisp air, the leaves changing color, and all the seasonal scents and flavors, I love it!
Although I'm gonna share a playlist of some seasonal-inspired music as I always do, I want to take a moment to share some thoughts about where I am in a spiritual sense.
You see, I've been posting these playlists for a while now during the Solstices and Equinoxes. I suppose it was only a matter of time but Cassie asked me recently, "Are you a pagan, Penny?"
And I think my answer is "I think so? Maybe?"
Not that I blame her for asking. All these posts and my extensive New Age/Metaphysical book and music collection would make anyone curious.
I've been raised Christian (Anglican specifically) more-or-less my whole life but my family has never been super religious. We usually only went to church for holidays like Christmas or Easter or for special events like weddings and baptisms.
However, as you know, my family is in a rather peculiar spot when it comes to spiritual matters. Being the physical Avatar of an ancient goddess makes going to church feel rather...off. My Nan confided in me that she also felt that way when she was Miss Thunder and has also slowly drifted away from Christianity over the years, especially as she's been gathering more and more research about the Goddess.
Not that I'm gonna start burning down churches or anything rash like that but...I don't know. It's not like I don't appreciate attending mass while growing up. Even now, if I feel genuinely fearful or frightened, I'll still say the Lord's Prayer to meself to settle my nerves from time to time. But lately, perhaps as I become more attuned to my powers, I honestly feel more spiritually connected, if you will, away from the church and out in the wilderness.
Now that I think of it, even before I received my powers, I've felt more of a connection to the ancient pagan sites of England. I still remember vividly my parents and I went on holiday to Stonehenge when I was in secondary school. I swear, I could've stayed in that circle forever. I just felt so at peace with myself amongst those giant stones, imagining the old Druid rites that must've taken place there. Perhaps even old Merlin himself stood there, gathering strange and mystical powers on a cool Autumn Equinox night.
As I read more and more about Neopagan traditions, (like Wicca, Witchcraft, Shamanism, etc.) there's just something more, I hesitate to use the word "pure" because of negative connotations but something more authentic, I suppose, about these faiths. To me, at least. There's no dogma to obey other than "Don't be an arse", there's no book that somebody with a chip on their shoulder can rewrite for their own agenda. There's just you and the Other, be it a goddess, god, spirit, Fair Folk, Alien, or whatever feels best for you.
And if I'm being honest, I've never felt more alive and spiritually centered than when I'm in the Goddess' domain, be it amongst the old trees at Hamilton Park or on the beach, listening to the waves pound on the shore.
Well, that's enough of my rambling. I apologize for making you read all that but it's been on my mind for a while now and I just felt like I had to get it off my chest. As promised, here are some autumn-inspired tunes for you to enjoy! Curl up with some warm cider and Blessed Be!

Eloise,
I just wanted to say thank you for your blog. This is going to sound insane but the pipeline to finding your account went like this:
I've been struggling with lots of stuff ranging from my girlfriend of a few years breaking up with me to me heavily struggling with being sexualized by people close to me. All in all, I was looking for posts about womanhood and the like but as a femme sapphic woman, I felt so connected to your account. The aesthetics of it just really made me feel at ease and happy.
I was just curious, do you have any favorite pieces of media like books or movies you really love? I'm just trying to surround myself with stuff like that to help me feel better.
Sorry for all of that, just wanted to spread some love and appreciation. :))
- 🪻
Hello you gorgeous soul, thank you so much for taking the time to write this, you've made my day 💖 This blog is truly just me compiling pretty things that bring me joy, so it's lovely to think that it can have a similar effect on others.
I'm sorry you're having a rough time, in addition to sending you virtual hugs and kisses (xoxoxo), I have no shortage of media recommendations (especially with themes of sapphic womanhood) to offer you:
Anne with an E (2017-2019)
This is my go-to whenever I'm feeling anxious. Not only are the aesthetics absolutely gorgeous, but I adore the way it focuses on female friendships and finding your own identity. It's not afraid to address dark topics but always has an overall message of love and acceptance. I especially love how this adaptation represents queer identity too (Anne and Diana are girlfriends to me. and god bless Cole and Josephine).
I highly recommend the original novel Anne of Green Gables too! The show definitely captures the vibes perfectly so if you like one, you'll like the other.
A League of Their Own (2022)
I couldn't care less about baseball but I do love queer found family and women solidarity, and this has it in spades. All the characters are so loveable and it's just a nice heartwarming story (and very sad at points, but definitely uplifting as a whole).
Heartstopper (2022–)
Truly the ultimate queer comfort show. I don't have any particular thoughts about it that haven't been expressed by other people more eloquently. But my opinions can be summarised simply as: it's good, it's really good, it's so wholesome, the characters are so loveable, I love it.
Emma (2020)
This film is so goddamn pretty. I could watch it on mute and still have a great time just from all the beautiful costumes and cinematography. But the plot is delightful too. Dare I say that this film captures Jane Austen's wit and satire better than any other adaptation. I love how all of her novels portray women finding their way in the world and navigating relationships with friends and family, but I think Emma is especially great in this regard. (Also, Emma and Harriet are girlfriends to me).
Again, I would also recommend the novel Emma. It's quite a challenging read if you're not used to the writing style, but delightful once you get into it. And if we're talking Jane Austen novels, Persuasion is also a favourite of mine (definitely don't watch that film though).
Dating Amber (2020)
This is a tragically underappreciated Irish, queer, coming of age indie film. It's basically about a gay guy and lesbian who pretend to date each other in high school in 1990s Ireland. It's very funny (also sad at times) but ultimately very heartwarming.
Because I'm a sucker for a gay/lesbian beards found family trope, I also recommend these book: The Inverts (1920s lavender marriage, very funny, Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo vibes) and Gwen & Art Are Not in Love (Arthurian legend beard relationship, also very funny and camp, BBC Merlin vibes [if you get me]).
And if you like Dating Amber, you'll probably also like Handsome Devil. Another Irish, queer, coming of age indie film (but mlm-centric). It stars the same actor as Dating Amber (Fionn O'Shea), alongside a baby-faced Nicholas Galitzine and Andrew Scott. Imagine Dead Poets Society vibes, except instead of being about Romantic poetry, it's about New Romantic music. And explicitly gay and with a happier ending. (Sorry, this is like four recommendations in one).
The House in the Cerulean Sea
This book is described on the cover as 'like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket', and that is a very accurate description. Imagine Good Omens except it's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (I'm half convinced it's ineffable husbands fanfic tbh). This book made me cry happy tears, it's so incredibly heartwarming and uplifting. Top-notch found family and agonisingly slow-burn pining.
Other honourable mentions:
Please Like Me (2013-2016)
One Day at a Time (2017-2020)
Gentleman Jack (2019-2022)
Little Women (2019)
Pride (2014)
Ladybird (2018)

CHARACTER INFO SHEET
tagged by: @ofglories tysm! tagging: whoever wants to do it!
Tumblr media
Name: ritsuka fujimaru Name meaning: okay looking up the meaning of their name did not get me anything useful except the fact that fujimaru is a pun on fgo (which i knew already). sorry Alias: "gudako", master of chaldea Ethnicity: japanese
THREE HEADCANONS YOU’VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE:
even during the year when things were more or less back to normal during epic of remnant, she didn't get in touch with her parents or friends back home, even once. on some level, it might be for the best--chaldea is a secret organization, she couldn't exactly tell them what she'd been up to--but the idea barely even crossed her mind. normal life is so distant now, it almost feels like a different person's life. chaldea is her real family.
when she can't sleep, she'll often just say something to start a conversation, hoping there's someone there to answer (and there usually is). those servants who watch over her dreams or otherwise keep her safe through the night have heard all manner of random thoughts from her at this point.
orange is her favorite color and also her favorite flavor! she's so fucking ornj god bless
THREE THINGS YOUR CHARACTER LIKES DOING IN THEIR FREE TIME:
gunpla babyyyy
learning random things from servants--there's an entire world of knowledge in chaldea, after all!
just generally hanging out with people. she's a people person through and through!
SIX PEOPLE YOUR CHARACTER LIKES/LOVES:
romani archaman; a father figure to her, and the one whose memory keeps her going even now.
mash kyrielight; her first servant, her partner through it all, her best friend (and maybe more...?).
leonardo da vinci; the da vinci who was with her from the start may be gone now, but lil vinci is just as important to her.
gordolf musik; he took some time to grow on her, but now the only reason she doesn't consider him a father figure is the fact that they're almost the same age. he's certainly a dad friend, at least.
the rest of chaldea's staff!
and, of course, (almost) all the servants. even the ones she can't help but pick on, like merlin or jason.
TWO THINGS YOUR CHARACTER REGRETS:
being unable to save olga marie. i often focus on romani when talking about things that severely traumatized ritsuka, and while that's certainly true, he willingly sacrificed himself. he wasn't screaming, sobbing, desperately begging for someone to save him. olga marie was different. the discovery of the foreign god's identity only exacerbated this, as now ritsuka can't help but wonder how things might be different if olga marie hadn't died that day. would the bleached earth and the lostbelts still have happened?
in general, everything that went wrong during the seven singularities. kadoc was right when he said that ritsuka wasn't cut out for this hero thing, that he and the rest of team a could've done it better, faster and without nearly as many casualties. so many lives were lost because of her incompetence.
TWO PHOBIAS YOUR CHARACTER HAS:
fear that her actions are meaningless, which as far as i know doesn't have a specific name? there's no telling if removing the seven lostbelts will return the earth to normal. in her heart, she thinks it probably won't. but the possibility that it will is the only thing keeping her going.
fear of being replaced. imposter syndrome, if you will. kadoc's on chaldea's side now, and he's far more qualified than her. it's a quiet, subdued fear, one she can usually ignore, but it's there nonetheless.

gacha game anon - god you said it with the events. fgo is brutal in so many ways. i think now that you mention it ive gotten a lot of my mats from event stores rather than grinding. it would be a million times less frustrating if they had an option to skip the fight on stages you've already done, but unfortunately no dice. which reminds me I need to grind for the saber wars ii rerun that's going on right now haha.
leveling those two is a great idea. jalter actually has the highest attack stat in the game, and avengers are always useful. merlin for his part is one of the best supports in the game. they are both amazing servants when fully leveled, and I think leveling their skills is also totally worth it.
whenever i think about gacha game grinding i feel so overwhelmed, im kind of blessed that i play ff14 cause i just do my weekly savage raids then log off for the entire week, im going certified snooze mode. every time an fgo event comes around everyone i know that plays it goes hard on the material rgind cause it really is worth it if you play often since they bridge so many power gaps
i wish i was better at reading quickly so i could get through fgo events faster, but my adhd brain makes it tough to be motivated for that sometimes unless im on the caffeine. i should try and get some of the current missions and stuff done at least v_v. atp im half considering saving up for prototype saber even though i know hes not good, i just like him and his NP is a reference to kamen rider blade, it's so sick i need it LOL

I writing this shit down so i DONT forget it 😭
OC stuff
magician phantom thief (not kaito kid)
Phantom thief guy… his name is dandy. I made him as an oc for smth else but his concept is banger (thief using actual music to steal). The guy steals cause he thinks its fun
fortune teller
Fortune teller is blessed by the gods like literally, luckiest guy on earth, and dandy’s friend..
He’s dandy’s friend cause dandy won’t leave him alone as a kid but now its been reversed lmaoo oh also he’s rly good at divination/smth like holy magic
great witch (merlin level amazing)
Great mage… is dandy and fortune teller’s mentor. Like legit merlin fgo powerful. She never stays in 1 place and slacks off
The mage is like old but we dont talk about that. She cares for her students greatly… she just flakes and ditches them lmfao
2 witches of time
The 2 witches of time who coincidentally look like each other but they are not twins NOR are they doppelgängers. One is the with of the past and one is from the future. They each have a monocle that when combined form the glasses of time
witch of knowledge (librarian)
Witch of knowledge runs a living library with every book in existence. She has the same power as raziel but is also able to summon beasts/ppl from books too.
Ive been wondering if i want her to be the actual owner of that domain or the assistant of the actual owner but actual owner where??? (Also wandering like the great mage) lmaoo
witch of possibilities (treasure hunter)
The witch of possibilities is an offshoot of smth else i wanted to do with her and i like rly wanted a steampunk aesthetic for her lol
Her powers of possibilities is a very restrictive form of controlling probability. Alternatively, she is also seen as the witch of hopes/dreams
Her original concept is that ppl in her world have endless potential, which can be taken away by monsters or bad ppl. Potential when extracted from ppl take the form of crystals and other shiny things. Losing them will make u lose ur motivation in life
She sorta goes around as a rouge savior who sometimes helps ppl out with that, hence why she’s a treasure hunter. The base for her is from a DIFFERENT story i had about someone who can steal dreams
So as a treasure hunter, she does take ppl’s potential but only the amount they paid as collaterial for a request. So she doesn’t get greedy and ppl can regenerate their potential power if u dont take too much/the important part of it
It Can be destroyed by ppl btw! But it can be gained back to some degree or fully as well since it isnt as if u destroyed or stole the core of their potential.
There was a story with her where there are others with this power too but there’s obv bad ppl who do it for profit/gain
It was basically about stealing and crushing other ppl’s hopes and dreams. A story about finding her core and not giving up on ones hopes and dreams.
There’s a bunch twists for her but yeah that was a short traintrack shift rundown of her concept
magical items antique shop owner
The antique owner is from another story i had with a cursed camera (soul shutter, my beloved). I gave him an honorable mention because i think he’d fit it rly well in a fantasy setting too.
His story is uh… his bestie sacrificed herself to seal the cursed camera so now he watches over the camera while also running a store of antique goods… he’s searching for a way to get her out of there. It’s been years since the incident and he hasnt found any leads
they like each other but its like theyre besties so it isnt fully romantic? If one of them asked the other out, they’d give it a shot sorta friendship. (It was originally romantic but i’m scrapping that lol

How would Ozymandias + Lancer Cu react to a female master who due to a spell gone wrong, now has cat ears and a tail and some cat like behavior too!!
Oh I like this trope! Let's go!
Pairing: (not seperate-ish) Ozymandias + Cu Chulainn x fem!Neko!Reader
TWs: none, I think.
Let's be clear - Merlin is at his shenanigans again.
It was supposed to be a test of his to see if enhancing humans with animal traits with quick spell usage, instead of manipulating bloodlines is possible.
Who allowed him to make Chaldea's master his guinea pig? We'll never know. Though a certain British Saber servant is currently the Prime suspect for not keeping him in check.
"This... Was absolutely not something I planned would happen."
Merlin sighed, looking at his results. Or lack thereof.
He promptly escorted you to your room after shuting down the experiment. You fell asleep very quickly after that, but after an unknown ammount of time, you woke up to a knocking on your door.
Ozymandias
So, you know how in ancient egypt cats were sacred and were thought of as Divine? Yeah, he still follows that belief.
The knocking it seems was caused by none other than Ozymandias himself!
"Master, there are pressing matters I and Pharaoh Nitocris would like to discuss-"
You stood in silence. Both of you.
"Well what is it?? I'll do my best to *Nyaaawn* help."
He started chuckling a bit.
"Master, you never told any of us you were blessed by the Gods. That makes it much more of an honor to work with you. I admit, you cought my interest even more." You looked at him dumbfounded. You? Blessed by the gods? With average magic circuits? Nah. "King Ozymandias, what on Earth are you talking about? Me? Blessed? Not by a longshot." He sighed, and pointed to your room's mirror. There, you saw it - Cat ears, alongside your human pair, a tail. And a desire to be more active at night, and sleep your day away. "I'm gonna- No, No, Calm down (Y/n). He's not worth your rage. Anyway, let's go to Nitocris, shall we?" Ozy nodded, and after hours upon hours of tiring planning of the next Halloween event in Chaldea with Nitocris and Ozy (That sounded more like "Egypt worshipping day") You just passed out in the cafeteria, purring lightly as your hoodie spread your body's warmth accross the torso to the arms, then legs - Is there a feeling more godly than this? Lancer Cu Chulainn - Frankly, he finds the whole situation hilarious, but adorable in a way. "Master! Maaaaaster! Wake up!" The Ireland's child's of light unmistakable voice shook you awake. "Nyoooan, I want five more minutes...!" Seconds later you were picked up, which awoke you fully. "Da Vinci wants you on the bridge, and sent me." As if on instinct, you hissed, trying to wiggle out of his iron-strong grip. If you weren't asleep recently, you might have succeeded. After few minutes of walking, the Lancer in blue had set you down, and overlooking the bridge of Chaldea, your attention span went from Focused to that of a 3-year old. As Da Vinci was speaking about some planned small-scale reyshifts, your target was clear - Meuniere's coffee mug. Through sneaky Absolutely obvious movements, you got close. "Hell no, you're not doing that, cat ears or not." Said Cu Chulainn, spotting your ploy from a mile away. "But Laaanceeeeeeer!!" "No." "Stop it already you two!" Da Vinci shouted, clearly upset. "Before we do anything - We need to find Merlin and undo that damn spell... Until then, Lancer, take care of our Master here... Gods know what her cat instincts might push her towards." However, to Chaldea's dismay, Merlin was nowhere to be found, so instead, All the Casters in Chaldea were grouped up to solve the issue. ---- Fin I am sorry, if this didn't quite fall into your liking Anon. I also apologize for the clear change of Style in the Lancer part, Tumblr on PC is... Weird. But, I hope it did! And that all of you, who read this, enjoyed. (Open for part two...?) And yeah, I'm glad to be back! - Rami
