No, because I just remembered this episode now and I'm howling with laughter.
Can we talk about how the guards didn't find it strange that Merlin had to go into Arthur's chambers in the middle of the night? And can we talk about how the guards didn't find it strange that Merlin hadn't come out of Arthur's chambers at all, even though it was already morning? Can we talk about how not a single soul in the whole castle questioned this behaviour? Can we talk about that??

Summary:
Klaber would do anything, be anything Voller needed. Voller once said anything was a dangerous word. Klaber wasn’t aware it was dangerous. He’d burn his body in the flames if he meant he could keep Voller warm with the heat. He’d never touch him again, if it was what Voller wanted...
On-going series where @blueeyedcitadel and I write something and we do the pov of the other for each fic.
Having a conversation with my sister who has never seen Hannibal is like:
"Why is the girl missing an ear?"
"Oh, well. You see, Hannibal cut her ear off, then drugged Will and forced it down his throat. And when Will threw it up and saw it in his sink, and the DNA matched the girl's, logically, he feared he had killed her and just didn't remember it, since at this point he had already been losing track of time because of his encephalitis that Hannibal knew about, but let it spread instead of treating it, because he was curious what Will would do."
"..."
"You should watch the show, by the way. It's fun. :)"
Why are you shipping Nazis? Like, I understand they're fictional characters, but what could possibly make you like actual, literal Nazis enough to want to write them happily romancing each other or whatever? You know they're Nazis, right?
Hello!
Obviously I know they are Nazis, it would be kind of hard not to notice. And why do I ship them?
Well, you see, the ship is not primarily about Nazism. I saw Voller and Klaber interacting and giving each other intense stares and I got intrigued by their dynamic. (And I also have a soft spot for Mads Mikkelsen and his roles.) As you yourself said, you understand they are fictional characters. And that’s all they are for me as well; fictional characters. And just like liking a fictional character that is a killer or cannibal doesn’t make one a real-life killer or cannibal, liking a fictional character that happens to be a Nazi doesn’t make one a real-life Nazi. What one enjoys exploring in fiction isn’t necessarily the same thing they would approve of in real life.
And I believe the same generally applies to people interested in history, by the way. Just because someone’s favourite time period to learn about is WWII, it doesn’t make them a Nazi. It’s all about being able to distinguish between fiction/theory and reality/actions. And one’s morality should be judged by their own actions, never by the actions of their favourite fictional character. And I genuinely don’t think my actions – me shipping two fictional Nazis – are wrong. Because I may be writing fics from Voller’s POV, I may be exploring his character and backstory to find out what influenced his present behaviour and motivations, but I’m not justifying his actions or ideology. Never was. And never would. I don’t support Nazism. I simply find these characters and their dynamic intriguing and that’s why I ship them.
Also, a quick side note, because I’ve seen your post. My username is not related to Nazism. I’m really putting an emphasis on this, because I understand where you’re coming from. I had this username long before this one Indiana Jones movie came out and before I even knew these characters existed. The name is sort of a word pun and I came up with it after I started watching Merlin. So, no, it’s not related to this particular ship. And it was never meant to upset anyone either, because I am not a (Neo-)Nazi.
Mads: (Well, he's an obstacle to us but- but I do know who he is and I met him and I learn later on what he's been up to. So, he's a colleague. There's a certain admiration of Indiana Jones for my character.) Maybe, maybe, he would be the only one around here that would understand what my plan is. And appreciate it. I'm surrounded by people like him, who might not get it.
So, I indoctrinated my sister and now she's shipping Vollber too. And she made an edit that I absolutely adore. But she gave the credit to me, because she doesn't want to be associated with these two, which is kind of understandable. Anyway, please, enjoy! ^-^
I love how Arthur catches the bounty hunter Halig about to beat Merlin and he goes like, "Leave him alone. Merlin is my servant. He has my absolute trust. If you have a problem with him, you come to me. Do you understand?" And it's the same servant that told him he was fat and stole his food twice that day, and also nearly boiled him when preparing his bath.
