#camelot is a silly place

[oneknightstand-if]

The first thing the mc should do after waking up Arthur and they’ve got some breathing room is to try and explain memes to him. Preferably before Merlin realizes what they plan to do and turns them into another waterfowl.

Cloudcuckoolander Lucid Dreamer MC: I've got you covered and will one-up you by... bringing memes to King Arthur back in fifth century Camelot!

Arthur isn’t exactly stealthy when he sees something he likes.

Those who had known Arthur for most of his life also know that when something captures his attention, that’s it.

It takes over everything.

First, at five, it was horse back riding. He would spend all day in the stables, learning everything he could about the majestic beasts. He would ride as often as his father allowed.

Then when he joined the official knights in training at eight summers, he became thirsty for success. He wanted to be the best, unbeatable.

And so, he was. He became a well sharpened blade neatly tucked into his father’s arsenal.

Nothing came close to his love for a sword until he was thirteen, and he met a girl named Druella. Dru was the younger sister of one of Arthur’s fellow knights, yet still a few years ahead of him.

He would watch her walk to and from town, every day, thinking how beautiful she looked in her finery, how her hair was always perfect, never one out of place.

This love lasted the least amount of time, because while Arthur claimed to himself that he loved her, he’d never actually spoken to her.

When he finally got up the nerve to introduce himself, and she did nothing but sneer at him and walk away, he finally let his silly little crush rest in the dirt under his riding boots.

Years went by. The citizens of Camelot and especially the staff of the castle, continued to watch Arthur grow and mature and come into his own thoughts. His own beliefs.

Still, dancing with his sword held the biggest place in his heart.

That was until a fateful day in beautiful spring time.

There were some familiar faces in the square that day, watching on as a boy intervened with the Prince’s ridiculous bullying.

First, they were thankful for it.

And then they all witnessed the moment Prince Arthur laid eyes on this boy, and that was it.

They’d seen it before, and this was no different.

Arthur Pendragon had found a new obsession.

Uther didn’t know what he was signing the entire kingdom up for when he bestowed Merlin with such a privilege as being the prince’s manservant. He probably thought nothing on it, as often as Arthur fired manservants, surely this one will be gone faster than the others.

Boy, was he mistaken.

Arthur lied to himself about it for some time. Acting as if his servant was the worst he’d ever seen, or how he hated to have to show this boy how to do something simple.

What betrayed him were his eyes, they followed Merlin everywhere in the room. Watching him do every task, standing to aid when it was needed, even if it came with a huff of exasperation for show.

Everyone could see it. Hell, even Leon caught onto it. The only people who had yet to realize were the prince himself, and the boy. Merlin. He was as oblivious to Arthur’s eyes as Arthur was to Merlin’s sickeningly sweet face when the prince’s back was turned.

Merlin was usually very observant.

But when it came to Arthur, he had a blind spot.

Perhaps this is why Arthur found out the big secret a few weeks after Merlin arrived in Camelot.

He’d made a habit of entering his room quietly, so he might see Merlin without being seen himself. Though, Arthur doesn’t acknowledge that’s the reason, it definitely is.

This particular day, practice ended early on account of the storm rolling in. Tiny drops of water were already covering the ground, packing the dirt into stone.

As he silently entered his own chambers, he heard humming. Knowing it must be Merlin. Who else would be in his room humming?

The Prince stayed partially hidden by the chest of drawers nearest the door. Merlin was putting tunics away in the cupboard. His hands were gentle with them, like they were precious. Even if he did it in a bit of a hurry, seemingly.

Merlin must’ve felt a draft or remembered the rain, because he stopped his humming turning to the fire place, and without lifting a single finger or uttering a word, he lights the fire.

By looking at it.

Arthur first thought his sight deceived him but there was no denying that he’d just seen Merlin’s eyes turn gold. A blinding golden light that can only come from something divine.

The Prince tries to even out his breathing so as not to give away his presence. It’s not that he’s fearful, merely caught off guard, which he tried never to be. Arthur was almost a grown man, and he’d met people in his time that told him he could be different than Uther. He could rule a different Kingdom.

And maybe that all starts with this strange boy that fell from the sky into Arthur’s world.

The Prince had hardly seen Merlin do anything with that kind of skill or confidence. Arthur had been around enough dark sorcerers to know that even the powerful ones need words, crystals, a big book with lots of words he can’t read.

Merlin had done this like it was nothing.

Just how powerful was he?

You know what would be funny? If Gwaine 'I'm a noble who thinks knights are silly' and Lancelot 'My only dream is to be a knight' were at Camelot at the same time.

Why it would be funny is because you know Merlin would be like 'I have a great solution'

And either convinces Gwaine to 'trade' places I.E. give Lancelot his seal of nobility or convince them to pretend to be brothers.

Which lead to shennanagains where Gwaine has to teach Lancelot how to act like a noble and Lancelot having to act like none of this is new and confusing to him

Also gaslighting Arthur, 'what do you mean that's not the way, I've done it this way my entire life' and it's not a lie it's just a commoner's way.

Gwaine is having the time of his life doing chores with Merlin and flirting with Morgana and generally making a nuisance of himself.

They also both know of his magic so there are those shennanagains going on, Gwaine swearing Merlin was in the tavern with him all night and Lancelot too, of course, he was there, someone had to carry Merlin home because Lancelot and Merlin are both missing, off fighting whatever evil is trying to kill Arthur/Uther this hour of the day.

Just imagine how funny it would be.

my favourite silly little headcanon i have about lancelot is that he's a dagger boy. he has a truly ridiculous amount of daggers on his person at all times, and the funniest thing would be that no one expects that of him. like one day, during the early days of being a camelot knight, they all go on another quest or something and its a sacred place so lets imagine the knights and arthur actually listen to merlin for once and leave all their weapons behind. except when everyone is done just putting down a sword and one or two dagger, lancelot is just standing there pulling out daggers one by one from increasingly ridiculous places and everyone is just staring at him like wtf. (except merlin, cause he's aware of this particular habit of his), and then when he finally seemingly pulls out the last dagger, merlin just gives him a Look. and lancelot stares back a moment before grumbling and pulling out the smallest little dagger from his sleeve or something.

considering that lancelot spent sm time travelling after his village was attacked, and then after leaving camelot, i like to think he takes comfort in having something to protect himself, or anyone else, with him at all times.

This whole story idea was originally just a silly little daydream I liked to imagine while trying to fall asleep. I'm not super into the idea of Sonic and Shadow being parents, but the idea of Galahad being Lancelot's son from a previous relationship and Sonic being a stepdad was intriguing. It would have such a different dynamic, especially if Galahad is already an adult. My friends had to witness this AU Getting Me in real time, and now we're here. It's actually a fic now-

This AU is partially inspired by original Arthurian lore, partially by Sonic lore, and the rest are just all kinds of ideas that popped into my head. This AU is basically just "Since Sonic's Arthurian world doesn't have Guinevere in it, it's only logical that Lancelot would be in love with Arthur instead, right?" and old man yaoi-

Summary: Sonic has reached the ripe age of 50 and is now longing for another adventure. One day, he wakes up back in Camelot, but it’s not the same one he left, as no one seems to remember those events other than Sonic; and on top of it all, they all think that he is the lost king Arthur who has simply lost his memories.

Arthur’s most loyal knight Lancelot is the same age as Sonic and a single parent, who is struggling with his sudden loneliness as his son Galahad has recently moved away. Sonic is enthralled by him, since he’s something that Shadow isn’t; mortal. Given their position as king and his bodyguard, the two quickly become close, closer than their titles would suggest in fact.

Now Sonic is struggling with his new duties and expectations – ones that he didn’t really even ask for in the first place. In the midst of it all, he’s trying to keep his newly blossomed relationship a secret, while also adapting to yet another new, unexpected title; stepfather.

[the-gateway-to-madness]

it's kinda funny and kinda sad to watch the 3Below fandom screaming about how the end, with krel staying and aja going, make no sense

like actually it does make sense if you look a lil closer than "Aja liked earth and made friends easily, Krel had no reason to stay"

First of all, Aja starts out reckless and becomes more humble, more cautious, and more strategic- important traits for the ruler of an entire planet. Krel is neither humble nor cautious, and we never see him use much strategic skill. He was right at the beginning of the series: he's not ready to be king yet just because he's more excited about the job than Aja. And I mean, he's really not! He's explicitly scared to be king, he just likes the royal treatment. The difference between the Tarrons is that Aja becomes ready to be Queen despite not wanting to be. Despite his father's assurance he is ready to take on the burden, Krel clearly doesn't feel ready yet.

Second of all, Krel EXPLICITLY makes friends on earth, so the argument he had nothing to stay for at all baffles me. And it's clear he had no friends at all on Akiridion- in There's Something About Gwen of Gorbon he didn't even recognize what friendship was until toby and eli told him yes, we are friends, you gloober- Krel letting go of enough pride to realize he wanted to stay for his friends is an important part of his arc, through the entire second season and, I would argue, the season one finale. He wants to make his mark, but I think what he really wants is recognition and the resultant connections, like how Aja's popularity has brought her friendship.

He trusts humans to help with Varvatos' rescue in Moonlight Run; he starts listening to human ideas in Mother's Day; he begins to consider them friends in TSAGOG; he works with them closely and trusts them and takes them and their silliness more seriously and more in stride in Asteroid Rage. He reassures Toby about the state of ruined Trollmarket without any sort of prompting, showing he clearly cares about him as a friend. By the time we hit his vision in the Deep, where he faces the fact Earth is his home head-on, it's already been made very clear that he has genuine bonds connecting him to Earth that he never had on Akiridion.

If anything I think Eli's and Steve's places should have been reversed. That way, Eli could have gotten more focus and development in Wizards, Krel would have more obvious ties to Earth, and Steve's arc could have built on its existing foundations offscreen- and he could have kept growing alongside Aja. I would have loved to see Eli coming into his own in Camelot.

#tales of arcadia #3below tales of arcadia #krel tarron #toa 3below #Listen the end confused me too! it hurt me so deep at first #Until I realized Aja can build friendships and a home wherever she goes #But Krel clearly can't #Having a place where he can comfortably put down those deep-growing roots of his is so important for him #And after that I began to see how good Earth is for him and how much happier he is on Earth #The boy's so young! let him be young for a while!

[many-gay-magpies]

Magpie, can you rec me merthur fics? Your top 10?

yes ofc i can!! a lot of these are just some ive read more recently but here u go :> top 10 merlin fics, in no particular order (despite what the numbered list may suggest)!

garden or graveyard by shanastoryteller | this one is SOOO GOOD. it's in the longer oneshot category (11k words roughly) and it takes place in an au where arthur also has magic (albeit to a lesser degree than merlin). it's very sweet and heartwarming, while also delving some into the culture of magic in camelot and a magic-having arthur's upbringing within that culture, and the magic reveal scene is one of my favorites i've ever read.

arthur enchanted by platonic_boner | another oneshot (smaller this time, around 5k), very funny and sweet! arthur gets enchanted to obey merlin's orders, which is obviously no problem at all, as a servant would NEVER dare order around their king... lol. this is an "arthur already knows about the magic" fic and i just really love the dynamics throughout!

our lips are sealed by eat_crow | an even SHORTER oneshot at only 1.9k-- it's truth spell time baby!! arthur and merlin get imprisoned by a sorceress and get doused with a truth spell that caused them to reveal, among other things, merlin's magic and their love for each other. despite the seriousness that comes with magic reveals a lot of the time, it very quickly becomes more silly and light-hearted just bh virtue of what else the truth spell reveals (i won't spoil much hfjgbng)

dower the stars by rorounihime | this is a longer, multi-chapter fic (8 chapters and around 40k) that i read a while ago, but remember being super good (ive actually been meaning to re-read it sometime soon). it's one of those fics where the description makes you think it'll be king of funny and lighthearted, but then the fic itself kind of rips your heart in two-- set in an alternate future magic-legalized camelot, where a great druid prophecy/event of sorts states that merlin will find his "other half" (presumably another magic user) with whom he will be all-powerful, and arthur angsts internally while watching merlin court and GET courted by all these other magic users. very nice build up and a very satisfying release/ending from what i can remember; i'm always a fan of fics where character represses their feelings for the sake of character b's happiness, so this one was right up my alley.

you have to chase it by arthurandhisswordbros | let's throw in a modern/reincarnation au for some spice! 8 chapters and 41k words. it's a social media au of a sort, and normally i'm not one for social media aus, but there is just something so... incredibly special about this one. arthur reincarnates and, five years after finding his "place" in the modern world, discovers twitter, where someone appears to be impersonating the legendary wizard merlin... wonder who that could be? the fic is very sweet, funny, and sad/emotional in parts; it's honestly one of my favorite takes on a modern/reincarnation au ive ever read and i find myself going back to it again and again. the character dynamics are just splendid, and watching arthur's progression from just SURVIVING in the modern world to actually LIVING in it was beautiful. 10/10 would recommend

the weight of words by waldorph | a good portion of this already short (4k or so i think) fic is sex, but the arthur characterization is SOSOSO good i love it so much. this is an especially notable instance of me loving it when bbcm fanfic writers take his character and run with it to the point that it's hardly even canon arthur anymore (but still somehow manages to be a beautiful interpretation/spin on his canon self?? idk man i love it a lot.) just gonna copy the author's description for this: "Arthur knows how to use words just as well as Merlin, and he knows about the magic."

linger on your pale blue eyes by supercalvin | longer oneshot; 18k or so. this one is so good-- it's basically an examination into how arthur views himself as a prince and how his body is viewed by himself and others (read: touch-starved arthur, which always slaps), coupled with some very soft and sweet merthur. the magic reveal in this is so low-key, which is something i like a lot in an abundance of fics where the reveal happens in a big, angsty dramatic flare (which are good in their own right, but can get tiring after a time). loved the arthur characterization in this one!

the gold of you that can't be seen by fleetling | another shorter oneshot (4.5k), and a soulmate au! you can see every color except for the color of your soulmate's eyes until you meet them, and arthur can't see gold. i love this one a lot because it shows the progression of arthur's worldview as he ages (from believing that magic is evil like his father taught him, to working towards or considering legalizing it after his opinions have changed a great deal) very well. includes a few heart-wrenching scenes with young arthur and uther, and a very light-hearted magic reveal!

how to love a living thing by polomonkey | the WHUMP. the ANGST. the HURT/COMFORT. this baby is 17k words of it and it is BEAUTIFUL. i'm just gonna copy the author's summary here because it gives you a pretty good idea of what the fic is about: "Guilt ridden and lonely after his confrontation with Nimueh, Merlin slowly begins to isolate himself from Arthur. When two knights take it upon themselves to teach him his place, Merlin finds himself with nowhere to turn. Will he be able to reach out to his prince before it's too late?" forewarning, there is some minor SA and a variety of mild-to-severe violence/abuse in this, but if that's not something that bothers you too bad then i definitely encourage you to give it a read!

strike of lightning by helloearthlings | another good soulmate au to top off the list-- this is one where you have a tattoo on your back that represents your soulmate, and if the tattoo moves, it means your soulmate has magic. arthur's soulmark is a raging thunderstorm, and uther orders him to kill his soulmate the second he meets them. very good and sweet, would definitely recommend if you enjoy/are partial to soulmate aus

(and an edit, because i literally just read this fic after answering this ask and im feeling VERY insane about it)

and with my opened mouth i join the singing light by intothefirewego | bro oh my god. i cannot even BEGIN to explain this fic my mind is still reeling. it stole all my marbles theyre dead gone decimated. nonetheless i will attempt anyways: basically, this is a (mind-blowingly beautiful holy SHIT) magic reveal fic, among other things, wherein merlin is injured in an attack from a sorceress while he, the knights, and arthur are riding back from a venture to an illness-ridden village; merlin nearly dies and arthur bargains with the sorceress that did it to save his life. but its also soso much more than that and i cant begin to explain ANY OF IT without giving major spoilers but basically its just really beautiful and well-written and you should absolutely go read it if you're not squeamish around graphic descriptions of blood (because there is a lot of that). wonderful unpacking of arthur and merlin's characters and their relationship with each other; 10/10 so beautiful i started crying

[crows-home]

hey! i hope you don’t mind me asking, but do u have any fics you recommend reading? (specifically sonic fandom ones)

im so sorry anon but im probably the worst when it comes to fic recs. I just started using the bookmark function on ao3 like last month. There's probably tons of fics that i've read and absolutely loved, but never saved and are just collecting dust in my history ToT

i'm going to shout out a few of my favorite authors whose works i absolutely adore and some fics under the cut!

There's definitely more authors and fics i missed, but this is what i was able to come up with!! in general, the sonic community is full of so much talent and i'm just really happy to be here :)

@cozyqueerchaos - I love every single piece they put out honestly and these fics are the reason i dipped my toes more into the sonic fandom years ago. they're THAT good. love them all.

@phantomruby - another wonderful fic writer that everyone should check out. "Slipping Away" makes me cry fr, although i haven't caught up on the latest updates. everything just makes my heart go oshfdsfhd

@chaoxfix - sonic fics are wonderful sonic takes are top notch i dig everything. the understanding of the characters and archie is just phenomenal.

@teamxdark - fell in love with the Tales of Avalon series and fell harder in love with the team dark Boomtober fics and dynamics and aaaaaa, wonderful writing and style.

@rubyiiiusions - every fic is a joy to read and every story really just gets your attention and keeps it till the end. i've bookmarked a few of them since last week :)

I went digging through my history and here are some of my personal favorite Sonic fics!

radio silence under a yellow sky by chaox Summary: Sonic finds out Tails is missing. And more importantly, that no one's been looking for him.

A gen fic about Sonic finding out Tails was MIA during Forces it's so so good i think about it a lot

falling by sonosuke Summary: Shadow likes a boy

sonadow during SA2 I'll cry. so angsty but it makes me :')

Birds of a Feather by SonicaSpeed123 Summary: Sonic has been trapped in Camelot for three years, but he's started to make a place for himself that he can finally be comfortable in with his beloved Lancelot Something has been bothering him, though: If all the people of this world look like the people back home, where is Sonic's lookalike?

Lansoni. Part of a series of SatBK mini fics that i really love, but this one especially because it answers the question of 'what about the Sonic doppleganger?'

you can hardly swallow your fears and pain by chaox and sketchjii Summary: Shadow is usually better at putting up that cold, unfeeling front, isn't he? Or maybe that's him. (or: sonic doesn't need to be in touch with his feelings if he pretends they don't exist in the first place)

One of my all time faves i love it so much i dont think i have the right words. shadow tries to give sonic mental health advice. it does not go well. takes place some time after Forces.

the time has come again for stars by rubyillusions Summary: (five times someone notices sonic and shadow are in love and one time they do something about it)

sonadow, Teen. obsessed with how the characters are written here and the way all of their friends interpret their relationship it's just so cute and sweet and shit and i love it a lot.

against every odd by eggskie Summary: "We're friends?" Nine asks, small and timid, and oh, doesn't that break Sonic's heart. "Of course we are. We always have been. Or we always should have been." Or: Nine isn't used to being cared about

wanna see how hard i can cry? Gen, Sonic Prime fic about sonic and tails and what they should have been.

Dreams Don't Come True by Skyblaze Summary: Short, mildly humorous fic with sonadow flavouring. It also takes the mickey extensively out of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 Next Gen game. Warning: not to be taken seriously.

This fic is just really silly i like it a lot :)

A largely platonic cave by mousewritings Summary: "You know I uh, love hanging out with you and all, but do you think we could go somewhere that's not a cave for once?" Shadow stares at him. "What do you mean, go somewhere that's not a cave? Think you're too good for caves?"

Sonic Boom Sonic and Shadow (pre-slash sonadow) my beloveds <3<3 this fic is so funny they're so insufferable

Also, uh. I know you said only Sonic fics but i'm going to add a few more fics that i really really love from different fandoms because i reread them a lot, i hope you don't mind! ^^

Our way by shpeeper Summary: Overall, the mission was pretty simple. Sniper was instructed to track the spy for a week, figure out his daily patterns, then put a bullet in his brain when no one is around. No one told him there would be a kid. An AU in which Spy raises Scout alone, and Sniper is hired to kill Spy.

Oh my fucking god i could go on about this fic. Sniperspy, Teen, TF2. filled with action and danger. Every time a new character would get introduced, i would have fun piecing together who they were in my mind. the first chapter already had me emotional, it's been in my brain for YEARS. And don't even get me STARTED with the twist at the end. holy shit.

Desmodontinae by Romiress Summary: Kirk wakes up in a Gotham that is not his own. A what-if, where Gods and Monsters Batman winds up in the DCU. Originally intended as a short oneshot, and expanded out into a small story, exploring the differences, struggles, and conclusions. Focuses primarily on Kirk Langstrom (G&M Batman), with a side or Hernan Guerra (G&M Superman), Damian Wayne, and Bruce Wayne. Guest appearances by various other Robins, Clark and Jon Kent, and several others.

The Gods and Monsters DC team means so much to me and oh my god this fic was made with so much love and care for the characters. It's been a while since i read it, but i remember this fic had me staying up literally all night, eagerly going through all the chapters, one at a time. i was in bed kicking my sheets quietly irl lmao.

#answers #fanfiction #fic rec #btw if youre an author and dont want to be tagged lmk! ill remove it no questions #also im so sorry this has been sitting in my drafts for so long anon. i spent a week clicking through my history #to find fics and then trying to figure out how to format this lmao. #i dont mind these asks at all i just wish i was better at answering them! #anyway go support all these authors and more if i could there would be so many people i'd tag and gush about but i dont want to make #this post longer than it already is so ill stop here

Masterlist

The wind ruffled the trees forcing the leaves and the petals from the flowers that grew at the top, close to the sky, far away from the ground to abandon their place and fly away to find a new home somewhere far away from the world they knew.

The woods were quieter than Arcadia Oaks Park. There were no people, no screaming kids, no strange dogs trying to eat or play with Archie or Al without supervision or at least that was what Y/n would say to herself and everyone who would ask why they would go that far to spend the afternoon.

She had spent most of the afternoon laying on Douxie’s lap observing his beautiful face. The way his left nostril would flare up when he frowned, his red cheeks that accentuate his freckles after the sun had kissed them all afternoon. She cursed him for closing his eyes to enjoy the sun and denied her the blessing of observing the hazel eyes where she wished she could be buried.

From the corner of her eye, she could observe the spectacle of the banished leaves. She saw a roge purple petal fall on Douxie’s soft hair and smiled. If she was an exiled she would try to find refuge in Douxie too.

Y/n stretched her hand, pulling the petal away and returned to enjoy the silence of the evening.

“Mmh?” Douxie straightened up against the tree he was laying on “What happened?” He blinked slowly.

Y/n felt her insides slowly melt at the sight.

“Nothing…I pulled away a leaf” she smiled, pulling herself closer to him.

“I think I fell asleep” he yawned, pulling her closer, cradling her in his arms.

“You did” Y/n laid her head in her chest, listening to Douxie’s heartbeat.

Y/n closed her eyes feeling the soft wind caressing her face and the warm irradiating from Douxie’s body transporting her to a plane where she could only feel peace.

A sigh escaped Douxie’s lips quickly bringing Y/n back to this troubled place.

“What is it?” Y/n looked up.

Douxie was frowning, his mind was far away.

“Mmh?” He said after a moment, looking down at her.

Y/n let go of the embrace and sat up. She softly grabbed his cheeks and made him look at her. Instinctively, Douxie leaned into her hand.

“Are you okay?” Her eyes were full of worry.

“Yes, darling, of course” he smiled, grabbing her cheeks and kissing her nose.

“Doux” Y/n pouted.

“Is just…silly” he chuckled, letting his hands fall down on her lap.

“I like silly”

Douxie nervously laughed:

“It’s just…these flowers grow in…these flowers used to grow in Camelot” he voice got weaker as he spoke.

Y/n looked down to the blanket where they were laying, it was covered by these mysterious purple flowers, she picked up one and smiled. It smelled the same, like home. Douxie was right. She remembered the flowers. She remembered climbing the endless trees to picking them up for her father’s birthday, for Morgana after a rough discussion with the King, she even remembered gifting one to Guinevere when she was really small. They were convenient but beautiful flowers, they’ll grow in the top of the trees and will fall when the wind decides it’s ready to leave.

“Yeah, they did” she twirled the flower in her hand. She turned to him “Do you miss it?”

Douxie sighed. They would tip toe around the topic but never really talk about it. Walking around the abyss, scared to fall into the pitt of nostalgia.

“Everyday” he whispered, throwing himself into it without fear of what could happen.

“Me too” she sat next to him, her back on the tree, looking down at the purple flower “I miss the city, the food… not so much the people”

Douxie laughed.

“The food” he closed his eyes thinking of food he would never taste again “Remember those little pies they would sell in the bakery by the fountain”

“…the bakery by the fountain” Y/n remembered at the same time, the smell coming back to her like a brother coming back from war, like a tragedy “those were good. I love Jim’s cooking but nothing compares to those pies” she laughed.

They sat there, their eyes lost in the memory of a home that they could never go back to. Two orphans to a place that no one, really, remembers.

“Sometimes I sit here and pretend I’m back home” Y/n confessed, her cheeks flushed.

“When you get away from the highway and the dumpster, it looks a lot like the forest in the back of the castle” Douxie nodded.

“I take what I can” Y/n laughed.

Douxie joined her.

“If you could, would you go back?” He asked, his eyes focused on the leaves falling from the trees.

“I don’t know. Maybe for a while” Y/n kept observing her flower “I don’t know if I could lose everything again”

“Mmh”

“What about you?” She turned to him.

He looked at her, grabbing her free hand. A flash of hurt was washed over by the love he felt for her like a wave.

“I couldn’t survive losing you again”

A/n: hello!!

Is a little short and not really a chapter buuut is something huh? I hope you enjoy it!! I’m going back to bed 🫡 Mila out

I love miniatures and also Merlin and I was stress online shopping whilst in the middle of life things and found this miniature model of the Chateau de Pierrefonds where they shot Merlin and I couldn't resist buying it.

It's almost like I have an official Merlin Camelot castle statue except it's probably much better quality than that show merch would have been if they had made one of these babies. It's also very nice and pretty and I like looking at the little stairs in the middle bit because those are in the show all the time.

And I just love knick knack things to put on a shelf and look at because I have a goblin heart for hoarding little silly objects. My knick knack shelves are my happy place.

In the show for comparison

“Surely one of Camelot's fine young men has caught your eye.” She bites her smile but it fades for her soon. “Perhaps you'll even marry,” Uther continues.

Or

Over the years Morgana can't find herself to care for trivial things which she finds soon rears it's head on her twenty-first birthday.

It was always there, the part of the garden reserved when Morgana came to Camelot. For a tree, Uther said. Wasn't till three summers into her stay when the gardener showed her the seed and planted it.

Though it wouldn't bear fruit; not for years. The garden was new, and she was impatient.

She's a woman, as all the castle whispered. It's at the feast celebrating those twenty-one summer's that Uther rambles on, consumed by wine.

“Surely one of Camelot's fine young men has caught your eye.”

Arthur makes a face, sticks his tongue out and lifts his fork to continue his meal. She hasn't even begun to eat.

She bites her smile but it fades for her soon.

“Perhaps you'll even marry,” Uther continues.

She places her fork back and brings her hands to her lap. She listens and doesn't speak as he drones on about the different Lord's son's and newly knighted men.

The feast can't end quick enough before she's back in her chambers.

“Here, my lady.” Gwen hands over an orange. It's peeled and she can see the white pith from the peel is stuck under her nails. “I know you didn't eat.”

She takes it. It's not sweet, not savory, not anything perhaps. She smiles as she feels the skin break and the pulp burst between her teeth. It's bitter. She eats the whole thing. Her fingers are sticky and she feels full despite it all.

She still smells the fruit on her hands as she sits, embroidering the next morning.

Gwen runs her hand over wrinkled sheets. “Attending the tournament?”

“I have to. Uther's holding it for me.” She pulls the needle up and through and feels for the underside. “I can't see why.”

“For potential suitors,” Gwen replies matter-of-factly.

The cloth leaves her blind as the needle pokes through and breaks her skin. It's coated red and blood pools on the surface of her finger as she gasps from the sudden pain.

“Are you alright, my lady?”

“Yes. Silly me.” She licks the blood from her wound. It's rotted, it's been for years.

It doesn't leave her mouth. The same as Gwen stays in her eyesight as she sits for dinner that night.

“You've caught the eye of Sir Bertram,” Uther remarks as the plates are laid before them.

“Have I?” She isn't hungry. Why isn't she hungry?

Uther smiles, nods, favoring the honied fruits.

Grimacing, she pushes her plate away from her.

“Aren't you going to eat?” Arthur talks; mouth full and crumbs all around it.

She shakes her head. “Not hungry.”

She's made up her mind as a servant takes her plate away. Not more or less. Just something different.

So she walks where the seed was planted. Red cherries hang on the branches that have taken years to grow. 

She rips them from their stems. They stain her fingers and stain her lips as she bites into them. 

She smiles; their bittersweet. 

So she cradles her hunger and indulges it.

Can y'all help me find a merthur fic where Merlin went into some tower or something to get a cure for a curse that hit either Gaius or Gwen (I can't remember) and he was ready to sacrifice his life, but then Arthur also went there to get the cure and they got trapped inside and the only way for them to get out is by fucking, basically they did the nasty in front of an altar just to get out of the place and bring the cure to Camelot.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR LITERALLY 6 HOURS AND I HAVE SCOURED MY ENTIRE BOOKMARKS AND IT"S NOT THERE! I JUST WANT MY SILLY KINKY MERTHUR FIC 😭😭😭

Hello! 🎨 anon here! Just so you know, I have huge brainrot for these two, I will be doing plenty of Gem x Wels asks!

(This one in particular, is forbidden love, but only Wels thinks it is. The world and Gem don’t think so.)

—

Why was Wels like this?

He’d fallen for the supposed Princess of Camelot.

He’s a mere knight to her, it wasn’t right. It couldn’t be. He couldn’t have fallen for her so quickly. He’d known her for about half a season!

But can he even blame himself when her eyes shine as bright as emeralds under the shining sun. When her dress is swept by the soft west wind.

When she’d stare out of her treehouse in the early mornings. When she’d beat almost all of her fellow hermits in a duel.

He knows he’s not ruled by King Arthur anymore. He knows that. But he can’t help feel like he’s breaking an oath. He can’t help but feel like he’ll be punished for even wanting to pursue a romantic relationship with his heir.

It felt wrong.

—

Gem was confused.

Sure, she was a supposed heir to King Arthur of Camelot. But she wasn’t a princess! That kingdom was gone long ago.

She lived in a humble treehouse with flora decorating the place. She’d wake up early in the mornings to gaze at spawn.

No!- She didn’t change her sleeping schedule just to see Wels do his morning jog. Where did you get that idea from?!?

Regardless, she was confused when she’d confessed to Wels, and said he ‘couldn’t’ date her.

—

“Wels, I.. like you, romantically.”

Gem confessed, her cheeks stained the same color as the poppy she was offering him.

Wels stood there, not knowing what to do, what to say. He didn’t know she’d liked him back! This was even more complicated than he’d thought!

“I…”

He managed to utter, holding Gems hands in his own.

“I like you too, but I don’t think we can be together…”

“Oh,,” she whispered underneath her breath. “Can I… at least know why…?”

“It’s just, you’re the Princess of Camelot by blood! I’m- just a knight. I can’t fall in love with you. King Arthur decreed that knights aren’t to fall in love with royals after the whole Guinevere and Lancelot incident! I-“

Gem shushed him.

“Is that it?” She stifled her giggle. “Princess of a kingdom in ruins you mean.”

She placed the poppy into Wels hair, and held his hands gently.

“I’m not a princess, and you’re no longer King Arthur’s knight.” She leaned in a bit closer, “we’re normal people in the present day.”

She smirked, “So, with that in consideration, will you marry me?”

Wels stumbled backwards in shock, “we’re not even dating-“

“Eh, I’d marry you regardless.”

Wels’ cheeks flared, “let’s start with the dating part first?”

“Sure,” her giggle roped it’s way into her reply.

Yep. He had fallen hard.

Gem, honestly, considers it an honour to be dating one of Camelot's knights! Wels is an honourable man, but he's still funny, and joins her to be silly. They work together on ideas, holding hands and giggling like children.

Gem enjoys sitting with Wels as they style each other's hair, kissing one another's cheeks when they get close enough. Or duelling together as the sun shines upon them. Wels will place his helmet on Gem's head, dramatically proclaiming her a better knight than him whilst Gem laughs, pulling him up to kiss.
