Wait I'm curious, since Merlance is superior to Mercelot what about merwaincelot or other ship names with Lancelot? Or is it only the Mercelot vs Merlance?

ok ok ok. this is the most important ask ive gotten in my life btw. here are my opinions (which are Absolute Fact but whatever) on all lance ship names (if i hve forgotten a ship. tough. but also lemme know so i will give u my Opinion bc obviously its very important):

merlin/lancelot = merlance (obviously x283992838383. although a strong case can be made for merlot BUT but but but it will only ever come in second place to merlance SORRY but its undeniable fact. mercelot is at the last level of hell)

arthur/lancelot = arlance (obviously x283992838384. arcelot just sounds like arse-a-lot. so. although👀👀—no no. no. arlance. i actually really like arlance as a ship name idk why. it makes Sense to me u know. anyway. arlance is by far the superior lancelot shipname)

gwen/lancelot = gwencelot (but only bc i cant think of an alternative. i was EXTREMELY tempted to say ‘glance’ tho just fyi)

gwaine/lance = gwaincelot (see reason above. logically ik that they cant BOTH be ‘glance’ so thats another point Not in glance’s favour but. whatever. its still COOL)

elyan/lancelot = its just too CLOSE for me to not say elyancelot. what else could it even be. elylance? elyance? ive no clue .

percival/lancelot = perlance? percelot just sounds like purse-a-lot😫

leon/lancelot = leonce . obviously. i dont even need to explain this one

merlin/gwaine/lancelot = i mean. i underSTAND merwaincelot bc mer- and -celot arent attached so ig that ship name works (it sort of makes me think of “wince a lot” so im a bit eh but whatever. the only other thing i could think of was suggesting that we should also consider ‘merlaine’ bc it sounds pretty to me but technically that could just be an alternative name for merwaine so. idk. IT CAN STILL WORK THOUGH. if not we should consider merlaine as the new merwaine ship name bc i like it better personally bUT I DIGRESS) (heres how merlaine can still win—)

merlin/arthur/lancelot = anything i think of for them sounds stupid sorry BUT merthelot sounds a bit like mirth-a-lot like a lot of mirth which is a lil cute imo. in my top three of trios tho so who cares abt every ship name for them sucking tbh

gwen/arthur/lancelot = again, i must concede arwencelot bc everything else to me sounds bad (but maybe if you dont listen TOO closely arlanevere can sound sort of pretty. i just really like the name guinevere and think the last bit is very pretty and should be incorporated in as many things as possible however that means that -evere completely carries that ship name for me so. maybe not that one? still sounds a lil pretty. enough to not completelh ignore. the men continue to give nothing. this unfortunately brings to light the problem that -evere is too pretty for a lot of things and they dont exactly live up so i cant really use many ship names with it at the end but anYWAY AGAIN I DIGRESS)

merlin/gwen/lancelot = the three i can think of are: 1) merwencelot (obviously) 2) merlancevere and 3) gwencelin (which sounds like gwendolyn lol) um. i might have to go with option 1 (again, mer- and -celot arent attached so i dont have anything AGAINST it ig also merlancevere just makes me think of severe which. eh. idk. actually u know what after sitting with it for a minute its sort of grown on me. still id PROBABLY go with merwencelot if forced to on pain of err whatever threatening tactic that would work on me BUT. merlancevere is a CLOSE second now. if i wait a few more mins maybe it’ll even usurp merwencelot’s place! stay tuned for update. i think i just dont like -lot at the end of things bc the t makes itso like. idk. ANYWAY)

merlin/gwen/arthur/lancelot = i have no fucking clue. i guess merwenthurlot ??? i cant think of anything that sounds better (ehehehe imagine merwenthurance sksnsksnkssk makes me think of hinderance)

merlin/arthur/gwaine/lancelot = honestly ive given up at this point with four names. tbh mostly idc. chances are im too busy being confused over all the chaos to even sit down and consider/care abt the ot4 names anyway. its probably merwainthurlot or merwainethurance or sumn. id go with merwainthurance bc it reminds me of maintenance which is apt bc theyd 200% be EXTREMELY high maintenance<3

idk ifeel like im not Creative enough for ship names,, like the name gwart hadnt even occurred to me until an anon brought it up but . as of right now wirh my current knowledge here is where i stand on ship names (dont even get me started on any ship name not exclusive to lance)

#im so sorry u had to read all this<3 #bbc merlin #what do i tag this #lancelot #lancelot x everyone ig IDK #ask

Dead Man’s Cell Phone--Chapter 4

Summary: When Emma Swan starts getting phone calls and texts from an unfamiliar number, she decides to check it out–only to discover the number belongs to a Killian Jones, who was killed in a robbery gone wrong six months ago. With some help from a medium, Merlin Emrys, Emma hopes to find out why a dead guy is contacting her–and why she feels such a strong pull to someone she has never met before.

Rating: K+

Welcome to my entry for the Captain Swan Supernatural Summer! A big thank you to @cssns, the ladies on the Discord! Thank you also to @eastwesthomeisbest, my artist and my beta @veryverynotgood!

Other Chapters: Prologue 1 2 3 Epilogue

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Killian felt as though he were swimming up from the bottom of the ocean. Everything was dark and still, the sounds around him muffled, as though he were hearing them through the water. And then suddenly the water cleared and he pushed through the surface.

The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was her face, her beautiful radiant face looking down on him with hope and perhaps a bit of trepidation.

"Swan, at last!" he whispered past a throat as dry as sandpaper.

How he knew her name he had no idea, but know it he did, just as he had the strangest feeling he knew her--had communicated with her, had a connection with her.

Given the standoffish way she'd treated their one previous encounter, he expected her to pull away, to become defensive at his familiar use of her name, but she surprised him. Instead of shying away, she smiled at him, let her hand linger on his cheek a moment longer and simply said, "Welcome back."

A nurse came in at that moment, and Killian looked around in surprise. For the first time, he realized he was in a hospital.

"What--" he croaked before taking a sip of water the nurse brought him. "What happened?"

"We were rather hoping you could tell us that," replied a handsome black man who stood at a discreet distance.

"Killian, I'd like you to meet Merlin Emrys," Emma said. "It's thanks to him we were able to find you."

Killian held out his hand, and shook Merlin's. "You have my thanks."

"You're most welcome," Merlin said with a smile, "but I assure you I was only a small part of the puzzle. You owe your waking to Miss Swan here--to her and to the connection you share."

It was odd, Killian thought, that neither he nor Emma had introduced themselves to each other; it was even more odd that it felt as though such an introduction would be redundant. What had happened to them to make them feel as though they'd known each other for decades?

Soulmates, a small voice inside of him insisted.

"You have my deepest gratitude," Killian said, looking around at the two people with him, "both of you."

Emma took his hand, squeezing it gently. "Do you remember anything about...whatever it was that brought you here?"

Killian thought intently for a moment, closing his eyes to help himself concentrate. "I remember…" He looked up at Emma. "I remember you, love. I remember running into you, quite literally, and then I came across a scuffle in an alley. I tried to intervene and was struck from behind, and then...nothing."

"Killian," Emma said gently, "that was half a year ago. You were declared dead, and your family interred you in the family mausoleum. Do you know how that could have happened?"

Killian shook his head. "I have no idea, love. It is a mystery--"

Suddenly the flower vase on the bedside table crashed to the floor, making Killian jump.

"What the hell?!" Emma exclaimed.

It was me!

Killian jumped in the bed. He’d heard the voice as clearly as he’d heard Emma’s exclamation, but the voice wasn’t in the room; it was in his head.

“Did you….did you hear that?” he asked, eyebrows raised nearly to his hairline.

“Yeah, I think so,” she said. She looked as disconcerted as he felt. “Merlin? What’s happening?”

Killian turned to look at the other man in the room, but he wasn’t paying them any mind. His attention was focused near the nightstand and the shattered vase. For a moment, he merely stared intently, and then he nodded, as though acknowledging someone--or something--neither Killian nor Emma could see.

“Emma,” Merlin said, finally turning back toward the bed, “do you remember when you first came to me, I sensed another spirit with us? An angry and quite desperate one?”

Emma furrowed her brows. “Um...yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?”

“He’s with us now,” Merlin said. “He’s the voice you heard, and he’s responsible for the broken vase.”

“Okay…”

“Killian,” Merlin said, “his name is Arthur. Arthur Pendragon. He says he made a terrible decision. He borrowed a good deal of money from the mobster known as Hades. The business venture he’d gambled the money on fell through, and to put it mildly, Hades was not pleased.”

“Clearly things went rather badly for him after that if he’s a ghost,” Killian said slowly, “but I’m afraid I don’t follow. What does this Arthur Pendragon have to do with any of us?”

It was me!!

This time the shout in his head was so loud it was nearly deafening. Killian scowled, glaring in the general direction of the nightstand where he assumed the spirit was standing--or whatever it is that spirits do when they’re haunting the living.

“Seems like someone’s impatient,” Emma said dryly. “Merlin, how about you stop with the vagueness and just spit it out. Who is -or I guess who was- Arthur, and why does he insist on yelling at us?”

“Arthur Pendragon is haunting you both because he was the man in the alley, the man you tried to save, Killian.”

Killian blew out a long breath. “Clearly my attempts were fruitless.”

Merlin shook his head. “No, you weren’t able to save his life, but he’s here for a reason. Maybe you can help him now, help him move on, help him find peace.”

“If there’s anything I can do to help, I’m at his disposal,” Killian said, “but why the bloody hell does he keep repeating ‘it was me’?”

Merlin turned toward the nightstand and listened for another moment, and then he turned back to the bed, smiling.

“It would seem Arthur Pendragon is the solution to the mystery you face,” Merlin said. “It was Arthur’s body the authorities found in the alley. Your phone, Killian, was found beside him. Given the fact that he was beaten until he was unrecognizable, and given the fact that he bore a rather uncanny resemblance to you in life, it was believed he was you. It was his body that was shipped back to England.”

Emma whistled. “That’s quite the mistake.”

“Indeed,” Merlin agreed.

“So, how can we help him?” Killian asked. “How can we move him toward the light?”

“Arthur wishes his body to be returned back home,” Merlin said, “and he wishes a message be conveyed to his widow, Guinevere.”

“I can manage that,” Killian said. “What precisely is the message?”

“Arthur wishes to tell Gwen, as he calls her, that he’s sorry,” Merlin said. “He knows his obsession wounded his wife deeply, and he wishes more than anything that he’d been a better husband to her. He wants to thank her for her constant love and faithfulness, even when he was not worthy of it, but now she should follow her heart with his blessing. Lance du Lac is a good man, and Arthur hopes they are happy together.”

“I promise you, Arthur,” Emma said, taking Killian’s hand, “I’ll find your wife, and I’ll pass on your message.”

Killian felt a whoosh of coldness pass him, and then it was gone. Suddenly the room felt warmer, lighter.

Emptier.

“He’s moved on,” Merlin said. “Thanks to the both of you, a man who was very troubled--both in life and in death--was able to find peace.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

3 days later

Emma knocked softly on the doorframe, and then stepped inside Killian’s hospital room. He looked up from his seat in the plush chair in the corner, and his entire face lit up at the sight of her.

It made the butterflies dance in her stomach. He was gorgeous when he smiled like that, and she had to admit, the dark-wash jeans, blue button-up and black leather jacket didn’t hurt either. Lying in the bed in a hospital gown he was easy on the eyes, but up and dressed--woah!

His delighted grin turned knowing, and Emma felt her face flame. She was quite sure she hadn’t been this ridiculously attracted to someone since...well, she wasn’t sure it’d ever been like this.

“Looks like someone’s eager to get out of the hospital,” Emma said.

“Aye,” Killian agreed with a nod. “I believe I’ve spent more than enough time in this small room. I’m eager to make the most of my last day in the States.”

After waking from the coma and learning the truth of what happened to him, Killian had made an immediate call to his brother, Liam, paying no mind to the time difference that made it the middle of the night in England.

“Brother?” Killian said as soon as the call connected. “Are you sitting down?”

Emma had gotten up to leave then, not wanting to intrude on a private family moment, but Killian stopped her, squeezing her hand and begging her with his expressive eyes to stay.

Liam had offered to jump on the next plane to the States, but Killian had refused. “It’s been six months, Liam,” he’d said. “If my calculations are correct, my small niece or nephew is to be born any day. Elsa needs you now more than I do.”

Killian listened for a moment before grinning at Emma and rolling his eyes. “Stop fussing, Liam,” he murmured affectionately. “I’m not a lad anymore. I can manage alone.”

“You won’t be alone,” Emma said with conviction. “I’ll be with you every step of the way.”

And she had. She’d spent every free moment here with him at the hospital over the ensuing three days until the doctor had agreed to release him. Emma had long since stopped wondering about the connection she felt to Killian, had stopped fighting against the pull she felt toward him. Whatever odd twist of fate had brought the two of them together, together they were, and Emma found she had no desire to fight against the warmth and happiness being with him brought.

But now, well now, it was all about to come to an end. Killian’s flight was first thing in the morning, and afterward, there would be an entire ocean between them.

Emma’s heart plummeted. There were far too many obstacles for a “relationship”--or whatever you’d call what they had--that had lasted all of a week. She didn’t even know if he felt the same way about her that she did about him. In less than twenty-four hours, she’d have to say goodbye to the man who had somehow managed to burrow his way into her heart, and for all she knew that goodbye would be permanent.

“The doctor should be here any minute for a last check, and then you’re out of here,” Emma said, forcing the dismal thoughts from her mind. Killian being released from the hospital was a good thing. She wasn’t going to ruin the moment by being glum.

“I must admit, I’ll be pleased to be rid of this place,” Killian said with a wry grin. “How the devil is one expected to convalesce and get his rest when the nurses come to poke and prod every five minutes?”

Emma laughed. “Quit complaining,” she said. “You know you had all the nurses eating out of the palm of your hand.”

“They seem to have adopted me as their pet over the past few months, haven’t they? Even if the brigands who attacked me rather knocked the handsome out of me.”

Emma grinned. “No one’s that powerful.”

He enjoyed her flirting, if his pleased grin was any indication. After a moment, he sobered. “I want to thank you, Swan, for saving me, pulling me from the coma.”

She smiled gently. “Did you really think I’d let you waste away in here if I could help it?”

“I’d hardly blame you if you did,” he answered. “After all, we were strangers. Not one person in a hundred who received a phone call from a dead man would put in half the effort you did to track it down.”

Emma shrugged. “It was weird. I had the strangest feeling of connection to you, even though as far as I knew at the time, I’d never even seen you before. No way I could have just let you languish here.”

The doctor came in at that moment, and their conversation was put on hold as he did his final examination before declaring Killian fit to go about his normal life.

“So, I went ahead and booked you a room at Granny’s Bed and Breakfast,” Emma said when they were once again at home. “Granny put you in the same room you’d been in during your vacation, before, you know, everything happened.”

“I greatly appreciate it, love.”

“I guess, um,” she said, “we should go. I’ll drop you off and let you enjoy your last day in Storybrooke however you’d like.”

Emma turned to leave the room, but Killian stopped her with a hand to her arm. “Do you know how I’d most like to spend my last day in the States?”

She shook her head.

“I’d like to spend it with you,” he said with a gentle smile. “Would you allow me to buy you lunch?”

Her heart pounded. “Are you...are you asking me out?”

He nodded, taking her hand and lacing their fingers. “If you’re amenable, aye, I’m absolutely asking you out. What do you say?”

Emma stepped into his space, cupped the back of his head with her free hand, and brought his lips down to hers. If he was surprised at the kiss, he didn’t show it, responding as soon as her lips touched his.

And gods did he know how to kiss. Emma was more than tempted to scrap their lunch date and simply stay here making out all day. Food was overrated compared to this.

“Alright, Mr. Jones, you’re good to--oh, I’m sorry! Let me just leave this with you--”

Emma pulled away, grinning as the embarrassed nurse laid a handful of forms on the bedside table and then scurried out the door.

“That was a yes, by the way,” Emma said when they were again alone. “How about we go get that lunch you promised me before we scandalize any more nurses?”

Notes:

--Well there you have it! Mystery solved and happy endings all around.

--All that’s left is a fluffy epilogue in which a few surprise guests show up at an important event in Emma and Killian’s lives.

omg the feast back in camelot. when merlin falls and lancelot is the one who runs after him??? and arthur ?? Idek what kind of reaction that's suppose to be. right off the bat it looks annoyed?? but it could also be 'oh i'm the prince, but also i'm worried that's merlin, jeez keep your composure man. come on now, overcompensate so no one knows how you're actually feeling'

again, it's only lancelot and gaius with merlin after he passes out.

merlin wrapped in a blanket like a little burrito is just 🥰 he's talking about the dorocha but still

also they mentioned samhain and i want to talk about but not here. anyways, i'll get back you to guys on this note.

MERLIN WAKING ARTHUR UP. stop that was so homely and i loved it.

oh haha when the gang rode out to the girl's village and we get jump scared by the chicken?? yes, yes i did get jump scared by the chicken

gwaine and his apples?? yes pls

i just kept on thinking that the dorocha kept reminding me of dementors. idk it's not exactly the same because dementors sort of suck your happiness and merlin couldn't use magic against the dorocha, but still idk i just felt connection vibes

literally angel is so pretty. and then gwen goes to check on the soldier despite SO MUCh danger?? i love her.

omg when gaius goes "no mortal has ever survived their touch" and i'm just thinking. MERLIN MERLIN MERLIN MERLIN MERLIN. anyways

FRICK MY LIFE. when arthur gave agravaine the seal it reminded me of the deleted scene where arthur gives merlin the seal and i just get MAD again that they cut it out. PLS

merlin's whole speech about dying for arthur. i mean, we all knew it was coming but still. and gaius. gaius sucks but still, merlin is practically his son at this point, and gaius just has to let him go and i'm crying

fricken hell the knights in their capes?? i can't handle that they look so noble omg

AHH GWEN AND LANCELOT. FIRST SANTIAGO LOOKS SO GOOD BUT LANCELOT'S SMILE WHEN HE SAYS HER NAME.

until the line where gwen goes 'will you grant me a favor' i completely forgot about this heart wrenching fic that I read. Die for you in secret by @emrysofmagic ?? dude your fic absolutely ripped me to SHREDS and i completely forgot about it until the one line and i PHYSICALLY screamed. good on you you're the best.

anyways. i'm dying at this. when lancelots says he'll protect arthur with his life and that gwen has his promise?? pls.

literally, any scene of just lance and merlin reminds of that fic now. whenever i see lancelot looking at merlin i just think he's pining and i'm crying.

Rusted Sword AU 2.0

remember the original Rusted Sword AU? canceled. here’s the new and improved version.

okay so Excalibur is iron. when it’s thrown into the lake it becomes tarnished, which is where the AU gets its name.

most of the basics are still the same:

Gwen and Leon are part of a secret pro-magic resistance

Elyan left because he has magic

Uther is the main antagonist & physically abusive toward Arthur/Morgana

Balinor was able to hide in Ealdor until Merlin was ten, at which point he left to protect Merlin. Merlin thinks he died until he meets Kilgharrah

Ealdor was attacked by bandits and burned. everyone was killed except for Will, who later died from his wounds. he and Merlin were traveling through the forest trying to get to Gaius.

Merlin gets arrested while burying Will’s body because Camelot Patrol thinks Merlin killed him, which is how Arthur and Merlin meet

Merlin is basically an accidental arsonist. his magic is directly connected to his emotions, so when he gets upset, things light on fire.

the ships are still Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, and Elyan/Gwaine/Percival. Elyan, Gwaine, and Percival’s lovestory isn’t really part of the main plot but it’s happening in the background while everything is going on.

also,,, the timeline of this makes no sense, but just ignore that lmao

NEW STUFF:

Nimueh is the Lady of the Lake, not Freya (Freya has her own role, don’t worry). when she left Camelot, she used her magic to create a safe haven for herself in the lake. she ended up raising Lancelot. she has no idea how she ended up with a son with such a strict moral code.

when Lancelot rolls up to Camelot, he’s not only lying about being a noble, but ALSO that his mother figure is. y’know. one of Camelot’s top ten most wanted. he doesn’t actually have any magic but he IS sensitive to it so he can easily recognize sorcerers (i.e., Merlin). Merlin knows he was raised by a sorceress, but he doesn’t know anything about Nimueh (until later)

Lancelot is trying to subtly find out more about the resistance so he and Nimueh can help them. he and Gwen immediately flock to each other (they recognize the “responsible with a love for hijinks and tomfoolery” personality type) and Gwen goes. “hmm. yeah alright i could use this himbo” and BOOM, Lance and his secret sorceress mom are part of the resistance.

SIDE NOTE: the resistance’s thing isn’t just fighting Uther. they also help those with magic/those who have been accused of magic get out of Camelot. this is how Freya fits in. she’s one of the people they help escape. SHE SURVIVES and goes to live in the lake with Nimueh. Nimueh can’t undo the curse, but she CAN give Freya free will. so now Freya’s in control over her actions when she transforms.

Merlin still decides to teach Morgana about magic. at first he’s trying to set up actual lessons like Balinor did with him (remember, Balinor left when Merlin was ten) but then he quickly realizes uhh. the reason Balinor’s lessons didn’t work was because Merlin’s magic is connected to his emotions, and thus WAY TOO POWERFUL, and Morgana is,,,, basically the same.

they’re still doing lessons and plotting against Uther, but it’s less “Merlin teaches Morgana” and more “let’s gossip while trying to piece together magic history, heal from our trauma, and figure out how to control our magic.” it’s the literal definition of “let’s fuck around and find out”

enter Morgause. they think she’s like Nimueh and wants to aid the resistance, but she just tries to manipulate all of them. exit Morgause.

Balinor dies at some point (it’s a personal problem) and Merlin becomes a Dragonlord. before that happens though Merlin and Kilgharrah are just. CONSTANTLY yelling at each other. it’s like their canon dynamic but funnier because this time, Merlin DOES actually know what’s going on.

there’s some sort of interlude ghost plotline. Merlin realizes, hey, my parents are dead but they’re happy in the afterlife, and no one blames me for their deaths (which is great). but something fucks up, and now Will is just. a ghost. they find his body buried somewhere in the forest, and use magic to basically make him a zombie. he goes to live in Nimueh’s wayward lake home (which is now a base for the resistance. a lot of sorcerers are relocated there so they’re out of danger)

Gwen and Merlin launch Operation Woo the Royals at some point. at the same time, Arthur and Morgana launch Operation Woo the Servants. these plans conflict with each other and ultimately cancel each other out, to the frustration and confusion of everyone involved. it eventually works out though because before the Final Battle™, Morgana and Gwen confess to each other. because they’re dramatic, Merlin and Arthur confess after one of them nearly dies

AT SOME POINT they all get involved the resistance, Arthur realizes Uther is bad, they start planning, etc. all of the main knights are spies (Leon is their biggest one)

Aithusa is born and Kilgharrah is released at some point. Kilgharrah and Arthur meet and because Arthur is pro-magic at that point, they have a tentative alliance.

when the Final Battle™ finally happens, there’s a whole bunch of shit going on, but basically all their allies show up. Morgana/Gwen are leading a team and so are Merlin/Arthur. the dragons are causing problems. Freya, Nimueh, Will and Lancelot are ALSO causing problems (are Freya and Lancelot a thing in this AU? i’ll let you decide). Mithian and Elena show up and help out.

Uther dies in a thematically appropriate way (not sure who kills him, but i feel like it should be Morgana). Arthur, Morgana, Gwen, and Merlin become the new rulers of Camelot.

Morgana is the high priestess. she works with Nimueh, Merlin, and the Druids to try to recover all the knowledge, culture, and religion that was lost during the Purge. she also tries to reintegrate magic back into Camelot and make records of everyone who died.

Merlin is the head court sorcerer, head court physician, AND the last Dragonlord (he’s very busy, but basically he’s not the only physician or sorcerer, he’s just the Main One). his first students are Daegal and Gilli and they work with Morgana to recover old healing spells, make new ones, etc.

Gwen is both the leader of Camelot AND the leader of the resistance. the resistance still exists, but it’s now more about reform and reeducation. she helps weed out anti-magic nobles, creates programs to make sure citizens are being educated and fed properly, etc. she also helps find family members/homes for magical individuals that were forced to flee.

Arthur is the technical Official King™. he does knight stuff. icon ❤️

most of the main characters either end up living in the castle or in Nimueh’s lake, and EVERYONE SURVIVES (except for like. Hunith, Balinor, Morgause, Cenred, and others).

SO YEAH. that’s the Rusted Sword AU 2.0!!!! i just spent like two and a half hours typing all of this out lmao. according to google docs this is over 1200 words so uh,,,, yikes

2x04 Lancelot and Guinevere

From a fake kidnapping to a real one

Morgana is so often right and yet so often portrayed as hysterical

Lancelot is so dreamy.

More GoT actors in this ep too. The wilddoeren is so nasty.

I'm sorry but Gwen/Lancelot is the superior het ship on this show. I mean no disrespect to Arwen shippers but I really see zero chemistry between them. Gwen/Morgana makes so much more sense to me, but canon/het ship-wise it's Gwen/Lance for me.

Merlin is so supportive of Arthur's feelings for Gwen, even tho Arthur was a jealous punk when he thought Merlin was crushing on Morgana.

WHY would she leave that beautiful cape behind? Stupid.

Ok cinematically speaking, the Gwen/Arthur kiss with this beautiful backlit sun symbolizing a new dawn, everything good and beautiful in the world, etc, contrasted with the Gwen/Lancelot kiss, in the dark, mostly obscured by shadow symbolizing the hidden/secret doomed nature of their love- is genius.

Why are all these people so dirty

I love costumed Merlin. The casual chit chat while trying to slay the wilddeoren

Arthur and Lancelot competing for dumbass of the year award

Nobody even thinks to ask what Gwen wants. Just "I love her but I must not have her for my father would never understand" and "I love her but I must not have her because my boy whose father kicked me out of their kingdom also loves her and my mental gymnastics assure me that I mustn't come between them and that instead the honorable thing to do is slink off while they're sleeping knowing full and damn well I have no permanent address and therefore no way for any of them to contact me."

Why not Lancelot and Morgana? He's cool with magic, good with a sword, and doesn't really have a whole lot else going on. Although I guess Uther never would've allowed that to happen. Anyway.

Commentary with Bradley and Colin which means I'm going to be laughing forever again

My favourite thing about the commentaries so far (and there have been a LOT of commentaries for this show) is Colin is telling us the horse's names and personalities. Cora is a lovely name! I'm guessing at the spelling.

Can't believe noone brings up Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They must be forbidden from mentioning it.

Bradley is so goddamn pleased with the jawbone he found in a cave that the costume department turned into bad guy jewelry

I have no idea what's being said for a few of these scenes, and not just because the boys are trying to say things in French.

They're talking about a magic circle and Colin being hypnotized and frankly I'm not sure I wanna know.

The way these boys cackled when Merlin fell asleep and fell off his horse

The whole time they've just been cracking up so when we get to the big scene where Merlin confronts Arthur about his feelings for Gwen, I expected them to make jokes the whole time but it's one of the few moments where they actually discuss what's happening seriously😂

They're picking up on the parallels between Gwen/Lancelot in this ep and Gwen/Arthur in a later ep but they don't mention the lighting contrast in the previous one.

Bradley: I think if anything, Lancelot is really the better choice for Guinevere.

And on that bombshell I'm going to call it a night. The next episode is a two parter and one of my favorites in the series, I'm really disappointed that there's no commentary track for it. But I still want to save it for tomorrow when I can watch it when I'm sort of like, fresh and alert, as I expect I'll have a lot to say.

Even if it means lying about his identity and obtaining work behind the scenes. Little does he know, Mr. Ambrose has a secret of his own. OR: The gay Regency romance fic nobody asked for. FIC: linorien wrote A Week in Your Shoes for ajsrandom (Merlin/Morgana – PG – 14.5k) Summary: When it all became too much, Morgana and Merlin just wanted a week off.

Emrys was no angel, he was magic, able to manipulate and manhandle Arthur, using magic to gods know what nefarious purposes, yet Arthur could not get him out of his mind. Arthur almost wished for clashes between his patrols and druids, so that he may request another meeting and fit his arms around that lithe waist and lose himself in taste, scent and otherworldly sensation again. FIC: fractionallyfox wrote Strength of the Land (The New Growth Remix) for linorien (Gen – G – 2.8k) Summary: Gwaine takes his promise as Steward of the land very seriously, as seriously as he guards his friendship with Merlin and his oath to Camelot.

Remix) for digthewriter (Arthur/Merlin – PG – 1.2k) Summary: Merlin has gone. Arthur finds him after searching for him high and low. Will Merlin forgive him ART: digthewriter created Tarot Cards for altocello (Arthur/Merlin – G – ART) Summary: The Magician and the King of Swords.

8, 19, 27

8. what is each of your muses otps? notps?

this is gonna get super long but I’ll only touch on the basics. Graham’s OTP is obviously Graham/Emma but I also really ship Graham/Ruby while Graham/Regina is the biggest NOTP to ever NOTP. I don’t have a lot of NOTPs for Charming other than the obvious incest ones I’ve seen around but my OTP is definitely either Charming/Snow or Charming/Ruby. I don’t care one way or another about Oberyn. Jaime’s NOTP would be jaime/brienne while I really enjoy Jaime/Aurora I also gotta go with the old favorite Jaime/Cersei. Han’s OTP is obviously Han/Leia and the NOTP would be luke/han. I don’t ship Vaisey with anyone but a HUGE NOTP is Vaisey/Guy. No thanks, get that out of here. Robin Hood’s OTP is Robin/Marian but I also shipped him with Guy in a very rival!mance sort of way. But I don’t know if I liked it enough to be considered an OTP. A NOTP for Robin would definitely be him/any gang member. Marian is MARIAN/GUY THATS THE ONLY SHIP THAT MATTERS. Though I also shipped her with Djaq.

And of course Robin. Isabella I don’t really care one way about but she’s a lesbian so ... give me all the girls. For Derek I enjoy both Derek/Meredith and Derek/Addison. A NOTP would definitely be Derek/Mark. Indiana’s OTP would either be Indiana/Marion (duh) or Indiana/Lara. I think any NOTP would be any slash paring because in my head Indy is a hardlined heterosexual. Ned, I obviously ship Ned/Chuck but my biggest OTP is just Ned/Happiness. As far as a NOTP, Ned/Emmerson because I’ve seen that one around.

Lancelot’s OTP is Lance/Gwen .. as far as a notp goes probably lance/elaine. I don’t really ‘ship’ the bnha kids since they’re well.. kids, but there are a few I think are cute together. We’ll leave it at that. For prompto my biggest OTP is Promoto/Ignis. Like, pry it from my cold dead hands. I guess a notp would be prompto/noctis because i’ve always seen noct with gladio. Dutch’s OTP (the way we write it and the way we write it only) probably Dutch/Arthur. I also highly ship Dutch/Molly but .. its toxic. As far as a notp goes, Dutch/Hosea. I don’t really have an OTP for Watson, but a notp would be Watson/Holmes. I know its a popular one but I don’t ship it at all. I ship Septimus with power. A notp would be Septimus and death.

19. for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them?

THIS IS GETTING SO LONG. I’m just gonna name the ones I wish were around. Obviously for Ned, I wish there was a Chuck but we’d have to have major chemistry for me to enter a ship. For Dutch, a Hosea. I mean some of these there are blogs out there, I’ve just been too lazy to find them. I love the Jaime and Tywin dynamic so thats a blog I’d love to interact with. Oberyn and Tyrion. Bakugo and Deku. A leia for Han obviously. A marcus for Indiana would be really fun.I’d love to see a blog for Vaisey’s sister? It shows a side of him we don’t normally get to explore so that would be great fun. I’m sure there are others but this is getting long enough already.

27. is there a rule that someone keeps breaking for your muses?

NO FORCE SHIPPING. I’ve gotten a lot of force shipping. Even if it goes no farther than IMs in some cases or one reply, it makes me very uncomfortable when people assume things. I have a hard time writing romance, etc with partners I haven’t written with for a while so when new partners jump right on that train and bombard me with things it can be a little overwhelming. Also when people don’t specify muse and make me work for it. I’m always afraid I will choose someone they don’t know/don’t want to interact with. So, unless I know you and we’ve spoken, choose a damn muse. Please.

#long//#twistedbutpretty #you gave me the longest damn ones i s2g #also hi i love you #its too freaking early in the morning for this #twisted-but-pretty

Season 1 Episode 5 - Lancelot<3

- YES BBG’s IT'S MY BOY LANCE

- he’s one of my fav characters u guys don't even KNOW

- like yah okay, i've only seen hiM FOR ONE EPISODE

- but he’s the light of my life

- and he may not even come back but he looks like a character that would come back especially if the fucking ep is named after him

- oh damn, i sure hope he does

- and goes into arthurs posse of knights or whatever, replacing val

- or what valerie was gonna be

- idek, lets get to it bc i could go on for days just picturing lance as a main character while continuously expressing my love for him

- BUT NOTHING ELSE OBVIOUSLY BC THIS IS NOW A CATHOLIC WEBSITE

- tumblrs trynna urge me to go with them nasty thoughts

- you wish tumblr

- you WISH you can ban me

- u can't live without sucking dick >:(

- wow slow down shev... wow okay sorry. christianism. i forgot

- it got the best of me

- back to the episode!

- omg it's buckbeak why he making a cameo in merlin??

- my inner potterhead(uwu) is coming out i hate this

- bet you can't guess which house i'm in ;)

- it's fucking slytherin, it's literally so obvious

- hissshiss motherfuckers

- ew guys

- this is so hard to type considering my fucking ‘-’ button (called a dash for u furries who only see a face) is broken and i have to literally smash it to make it work, so i'm just insanely typing up the next dash by screaming at my keyboard that i can't fucking fix

- and i have so many dasHES TO DO!

- that made no sense bc yall aren't living in my socks at the moment

- BUT I'M DYING IT'S SO HARD TO JUST GET IT TO PRESS

- fuck it copy paste, my best friend, you always come when the time is needed

- LANCELOT LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL

- lowkey looked like that guy from the 100 though

- but better

- nothing against baloney of course

- lancelot literally just introduced himself, the camera panned in onto his chest, then he proceeded to faint or some shit with the camera still zoomed on his chest, and merlin reached up to grab his shirt, probably to yank it the fuck off and the opening credits rolled up. wtf was that scene.

- WAIT I REWINDED IT

- it's not supposed to be a zoom in of his chest lmao, my hoe ass thought we had a little fanservice for a second, but there's a big mushroom-looking blood stain on his shirt which i guess is supposed to mean he's fucking dead so it's not all that confusing anymore

- when was he stabbed tho?

- whatever. shit always goes down in BBC that's often unexplainable.

- “it had claws, wings…” arthur stops his sentence melodramatically while uther looks terrified. “and.. what?” WHAT UTHER?? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?? YOU THINK ARTHURS GONNA BE LIKE “FANGS, STEVE BUSCEMI'S EYEBALLS, DANNY DEVITO’S HAIRLINE, TALKS LIKE JOHN MULANEY?? I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT I SAW, NOT WHAT I IMAGINED. FATHER”

- but no… livestock apparently

- that’s what uthers shocked by

- not that theres a fucking griffin living in his world

- wait theres magic, means theres magic creatures doy

- but still, even if we all had magic here, i think it would be a little shocking seeing a griffin come for buckingham palace randomly

- or i guess if youre reading this and are in america, in the white house

- oh and it took only people apparently

- i guess that’s a little more severe but i stand uncorrected

- they be having a wild time in the hippogriff’s house ;)

- honestly sounds like a fucked up hogawart house

- here we have slytherin, hufflepuff, ravenclaw and... *looks at smudged writing on hand* hippogriff

- okay, who tf has a dream of coming to camelot when it's the most feared place, with banned magic and an asshole king with his hot bitchy son and a sorcerer who just brings chaos to the land

- well i mean, me

- bc of the hot bitchy son but whatever

- camelot? more like cameNOT

- arthur calls himself the ultimate killing machine like the edge lord he is

- ARTHUR FUCKING KO’D THE BITCH

- knee to the nose and all wtf man

- this is probably foreshadowing smth with the “only noble blood can swoosh like a knight” thing, like somethings gonna happen and poor people are gonna revolt and uthers gonna be like “GEEZ fine, okay, no nobles can become a knight”

- merlins such a shit stirer, telling lance he can be a knight and telling him arthur would love him when we really know whats gonna happen bc of that rule

- and here’s gaius like uhh u liar wtf, crushing lance’s dreams while merlins just like wtf gaius, live in the moment, we can do anything, this is OUR show

- literally their such good friends and have known each other for a solid 10 minutes only

- i'm not that big into beards but id love to rub my face on lance’s

- HOMEWORK IS MERLIN’S EXCUSE, MERLIN UR LIKE 20 IN A WORLD PROB WITHOUT HOMEWORK

- haha little fault there, or like a minor inconvenience which isn’t important but i like to pretend to be smart: middle ages or well the show’s era was more in “AD” (476-ish is the start of middle ages, while the arthurian legend is supposed to happen in the 5/6th century so yeah, technically 400/500 AD), and homework supposedly only started up in 1095 so BOOM BBC GOTCHA

- no, merlin’s not gonna perform magic right in front of the librarian

- does he not know the wrath of librarians???

- our librarian at school literally kicked everyone out of the library once for the whole semester because there was an apple core on the bookshelf. this was during exam week. do u know how much i wanted to kill the person who didn't admit to their mistakes and let everyone suffer. WE COULDN'T ENTER TO EVEN STUDY

- OH GOD, HE'S DOING IT MERLIN IS A FUCKING MESS

- gwen and lancelot are my favourite thing, i literally want them to be together by the next episode

- or the next one with lance

- WAIT LANCELOT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MAIN CHARACTER ISN'T HE BC I KNOW VAGUELY THE ARTHURIAN LEGEND AND LANCELOT WAS A KNIGHT WASN'T HE???? HE WAS A FUCKING KNIGHT AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NEXT TO LIKE IDK BEDEVERE OR SMTH THIS IS AMAZING NEWS GUYS I LITERALLY COULD BE A DETECTIVE

- !!!! the only heto ship on this show i actually adore !!!!!!

- i mean i only love two things: merthur and glance

- idek what gwen and lance’s ship name is so its now glance

- merlin would be the best wingman for them by being gwens bestie

- “you can start by cleaning out the stables” *lance looks to merlin while merlin gives him the biggest smile and thumbs up* this fuckING DORK

- harry potter au where everything is the same but that grim reaper looking human creature in the prisoner of azkaban executing buckbeak is actually lancelot in the future

- for symbolism purpose, not saying lance is like an animal killer but yknow

- same thing with the griffin yknow

- the two prettiest dudes in my world fighting against one another while sweat is glistening down their forheads is my new favourite aesthetic

- BUCKBEAK HAS COME

- oh wait no, people having been attacked by buckbeak have come

- netflix fucked up by subbing arthur as “orther” and i never laughed so hard

- don’t make me fucking laugh when there’s an ambush, netflix, this is not christian

- annd arthur’s pride is gone, and he goes up to chop lance’s fucking head off

- OH SHIT THAT TRANSITION THOUGH

- i'm so proud of my bb like genuinely so proud, lance deserves so much and here is is!! a knight!!

- MORGANA APPEARS THE LOML

- the three lomls in one room?? seriously bbc?? you really doing that to me?? for once im actually impressed and happy

- he's gonna get caught, i mean i KNOW that, but like it's still stressing out

- ewewewewewewewewewew

- arthur called morgana “isn't she so beautiful??” with a lovey dovey face pls don't lead this to that stepsibling porn bullshit i'm going to fucking puke

- i hated that shadowhunter bullshit like they seriously going to hit me with the indirect incest?? i was so done. i hated jace and clary, idc if theyre like the most popular couple, like wheres my raphael lovers at bc that's a boy i can enjoy

- “so if you could choose one... lance or arthur?” merlin subtly asks gwen like he doesn't have an answer himself

- it would have been so perfect geez, gwen and lance, merlin and arthur, myself and morgana

- i really wanna know what lance, merlin and arthur look like drunk bc that's a hell of a hangover they got the next morning and they probably cut out most of the soiree so like what did they do?? was there any drunk dancing and flirting??? bc i literally want to see that happen

- ik it's a bad thing but those drunk tropes where someone confesses their love to the person they like while under the influence is my favourite thing bc it's both hilarious, genuine and the other person often helps them to their feet and gets them to a safer place to rest and that's fricken adorable guys!

- not the drinking obviously, thats like a thing you can enjoy if you want but ya girl does not like drinking. or, well, she likes drinking with a limit. you can tell who likes to be the designated driver lmao. people here be drinking flat out whiskey and i tried it once and it burned by fucking throat

- merlin fucked up

- and this is technically his fault

- THEY GOT CAUGHT LMAO IT IS HIS FAULT

- hungover and caught this won't bode well

- “not worthy of a knighthood”

- hey so how do you retract a knighthood?

- do you like reverse the shoulder tapping

- like if you're christian, bc you know, we, as a christian group on this tumblr site, should already know about it... but when we do that cross thing on our shoulders, it means like a direct call with god or some shit. and if we do it the opposite direction it's considered the antichrist so is it the same for knighthood?

- OMG I JUST HAD AN EPIPHANy

- okay with christianity it's tapping the head the stomach, shoulder then shoulder, right? but the reverse is the anti cross like shoulder to shoulder, stomach and head. but… what if it were tapping the stomach, crotch, hip to hip? it would make sense right??? since the cross is upside down… it would lead to the dick and not the head. THAT'S WHY IT'S AN UPSIDE DOWN CROSS. BC YOU AINT SUPPOSED TO GRAB THEM BALLS UNTIL MARRIAGE!!! I SEE OMG I SEE YOU JESUS, TRYNNA HIDE UR FLOURISHING SEXUALITY

- omg guys, don't grab ur fucking balls in this blog post, it's considered the antichrist

- “you never will be” lmao he's gonna come back, he's lancelot, that's a main in the og legend

- how pissed will lance be with merlin

- i hope big time bc like... angry lance *dries off sweat with hands*

- aw damn lance isn't mad he's like “this is my punishment. mine to bare, mine to bare alone. stop blaming urself. i put this on me” this fucking goof is making me swoon once fucking more

- NOW BUCKBEAKS BACK

- he's a real goat x3

- buckbeak can literally fuck shit up in the air, camelot has nothing on him

- ARTHURS FUCKING DEAD LMAO

- oh wait he aint, just a few of his knights

- imagine being an extra and playing as one of those knights. having to fight next to bradley james, and have him look at you when someones doing something stupid like you can mentally agree with him and then pretend to die on camera. that would be my dream. make-a-wish better do me some good when i get diseased that will prob be named after me

- hoephagus

- stupidolis

- nah thats stupid

- ;)

- i now understand mulans will to pretend to be a guy and join the army bc i would literally do that if i could stay with arthur fucking pendragon

- aw it's called a griffin not a hippogriff

- i'm saddened

- harry potter has taught me WRONG

- this looks to be the climax where merlins like “fine guys, geez, i'll kill the griffin bc i'm magic!! wow!!! but arthur obviously knew, and i thought gwen was gonna know but she shocked me even more when she didn’t like fucking hell everyones oblivious. but since you can only kill buckbeak with magic, sigh, i'm exposing myself ig” even if it's like halfway through season 1 with 5 seasons altogether, this looks to be the right time

- this really sounds to be what we are waiting for, what kilgarah said about the destiny merlin will have

- WAIT WE HAVEN'T SEE THAT BITCH IN A WHILE

- wheres the dickwad gone lmao like was the actor busy the last few episodes or what?

- OMG ARHTURS BREAKING LANCE OUT OF PRISON SO HE CAN BE A KNIGHT

- how is the “arthurs pretty gay” theory not popped up more times on here

- like we all know merthurs pretty great and all

- but CANON wise arthur seems super gay to me

- like he just told lance to get up his ass because “i need… uhh... camelot needs” like he was just about to say he needs lance in his life

- have you not seen the glances??

- fucking hell

- arthur slowly comes closer to lance pretending to talk about what he knows about the creature

- lance also coming closer to ask if he truly believes that, with a raised eyebrow

- thought this shit was only in books and fanfics

- but no guys, we got a gay eyebrow raise

- bc we all know only the gays are capable of eyebrow raises

- fucking hell this is gay i cant even explain it

- like its subtly gay, but out of context youd think this is something out of a fansite

- and merlins not even in this scene

- “take the horse and never return to this place” OKAY NO FIRST OF ALL SECOND OF ALL FUCK OFF LMAO THIS ISNT GAY ANYMORE

- i mean he’s doing it out of the goodness of his heart, saving him from prison and all but lance wants to like… be a good man and you aint letting him do that

- OMG LANCE IS SAYING GOODBYE TO GWEN

- LANCE BETTER FUCKING KISS HER

- I LOVE GWEN AND LANCE TOGETHER #STAN

- fucking kiss you fucking bafoon

- THEY DIDN'T FUCKING KISS WTFUCKINGFUCK

- merlin looks so dumb holding his dagger as if he doesn’t know what to do with it but i love that for me

- WAIT I THOUGHT LANCELOT WAS LITERALLY GONNA GO YEET OUT OF CAMELOT NOT TO FUCKING SACRIFICE HIMSELF AND FIGHT THE GRIFFIN

- bafoons, all of them

- big bouncing bucking bafoons

- arthur looks so scared i've never been so in love and want to PROTECT

- omg for all merlin and lance know, that scream was arthur fucking dying- OMG IT WAS ARTHUR

- HE'S FUCKAN DEAD

- nvm he's alive but like yall not think to check for some arterial wounds bc he could be alive now, but in 5 mins he could legit not make it

- slow music means death

- lancelot you were the best husband i've ever had, rip

- i would be crying more if i didn’t know what happened, but since i already spoiled myself on the first season by watching this about a year ago, i'm not that sad but its still getting to me slightly

- hahahaha so happy everyones okayyy

- ARTHUR AND LANCE TiME!

- arthur looks so happy for lance literally crack ship right there

- why does nobody talk about this wyd

- and here’s arthur defending lance’s honour

- but uthers being a bitch

- omg that transition from lance being told to wait outside, the camera following him out of the room and the doors slamming behind him just in time to hear uther yell at arthur from next door is what gives me chills

- uther better fucking accept lance

- “the law is the law” yeah but the law also says to stop being a stuck-up bitch, uther

- literally lance is the only fucking person to not see through merlins blatant magic tricks

- like he saw that shit, called it out and was not like “oh what its a trick of the wind, surely”

- and he's not fazed at all, u see merlin it aint that bad to tell some people

- the only thing he is worrying about is the credit he says he doesn’t deserve bc merlin killed the griffin and not him

- see how fucking great my husband is, guys

- he better not be like “sucks to suck, i lied again! it aint me, chief” to uther and arthur

- NAH OKAY HE’S JUST BIDDING HIS FAREWELL IM GONNA FUCKING CRY IN THE CLUB

- he better fucking come back soon >:(

- seasonal guest star at least

- main characters, big bonus

- we barely saw morgana this episode and i'm not okay with that, but at the same time it was more lance-centric so i'm aight actually. we got all the time in the world for my baby girl, but lance :’( good luck man

- literally everyone is so gay for lance

- gwens into him for sure, and i love that the most (guess thats not gay but whatever, beggars can't be choosers)

- arthur has a little crush ngl

- and merlins full out in love with him

- not to mention MY FUCKING SELF

- i mean, i won't deny that he’s literally perfect in every way and i've only known him for one episode, but i agree whole heatedly with these crushes

- “till next time, sir lancelot” merlin whispers with a smile

- yeah that's me right there

- BC I'LL BE SEEING HIM IN THE FINAL EPISODE OF THIS SEASON!

- greeting us all with the news on being cast full-time for the show, being the best guard around and a lover boy to all

- guys i feel like i'm on aphrodisiacs but instead of desire for sex, it's love for lancelot

- send help

#this is a long one yall #maybe bc i found a new crush but yknow #merlin #merlin bbc #merthur #s1 #s1ep5
