Prompt:

Originally it was Merlin who brought them all together, Arthur, Gwen, and the Round Table Knights. But they all moved up in the world while Merlin stayed a servant. He’s depressed and lonely but… let’s face it, Merlin would never leave them voluntarily.

So when he does leave, it’s not voluntary (but I’ll leave it up to the imagination whether anyone else knows this or not).

Regardless, without Merlin there, fractures the others never realised existed between them started to crack wider, until everything was on the cusp of collapsing.

The only thing holding them together right now is their unified goal to find Merlin and bring him home.

just remembered a fic on AO3 (or more likely LJ because it had that distinct late 00's experimental vibe) that appeared double-spaced oddly, in that some paragraphs would be spaced normally and others would have double or even triple spaces in between. it was about one half of the otp getting over the other's death (or coma, can't remember which), so all the comments were about how poignant the use of visual spacing was as a means to convey all the emotional holes in the character's life.

and then the author replied like... *giggle* guys it's NOT double spaced. try selecting the whole text

and we were all like "no WAY"

but we selected the text, and yes!!!

the "holes" in the story? they were actually lines and actions from the dead/coma character's ghost, rendered invisible to the eye by the simple trick of coloring the text the exact same as the background, revealed by nothing more than a click and a drag of the mouse

a story about the profound loneliness of losing your the partner of your life and having to make do without them, without anything to fill the holes they'd left behind, suddenly became a story about the profound helplessness of seeing someone you love suffer from your absence while you are right there, unable to do anything about it, unable to communicate that you love them enough to suffer unseen and unheard with them, just to keep them company they'll never know about

it was then that I truly realized how *superior* the digital medium is to plain printed paper, how the medium and the format can add to a story.

I think about that fic about once a year. I wish I could find it again

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!! UPDATE HERE

#probable fandoms for it (that I was in at that time): naruto Hikaru no go deathnote maybe? #definitely not Harry Potter or BBC merlin. I can't recall what else I was into back in 2008-2009 #God I miss those Fandom days. everyone was doing such NEAT things both coding and writing wise #fanfic #pretty sure it was LJ #UPDATE: IT WAS LJ AND THE FIC IS BBC SHERLOCK 🤮 #but still worth reading

merthur shippers are always like "tee hee I could take you apart with one blow :) do you know how to walk on your knees?? gay!" meanwhile merlin is going around casually dropping lines like "his life is worth a thousand of mine" and "I know him better than I know myself" and "magic isn't just a part of me it IS me. and of course I use it only for arthur"

#missing the forest for the trees i think #i need to make a list of top 5 insane things merlin has said about arthur. we need to make a poll #merthur #merlin #* #1k

[ollyrewind]

we were robbed of arthur getting to know merlin once again but for real this time

#bbc merlin #merthur #merlin #merlin fanart #i miss them actually

I’m apparently a year late to this concept, however …

#obviously they’re both British so it’s not quite #but with a few tweaks it’s strikingly similar #like there’s that story that Henry makes up about the Prince and the peasant boy #that’s just the plot of Merlin actually #ugh firstprince I miss you #my art #bbc merlin #merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #merthur #firstprince #rwrb #red white and royal blue

[nextstopparis]

obsessed with the scene in 5.02 where they’re crawling up that sewer or whatever thing. merlin is fighting for his life gagging every 3 seconds and arthurs just laughing at him

LIKE??????

#mostly because i think youd expect arthur to be the one thatd be overly concerned with cleanliness and stuff #IDK how to explain ok. its a subtle kind of role reversal to me i am obsessed with it leave me alone #bbc merlin #merthur #i miss them bad guys
