MORE FLAILING ABOUT MERLIN. Who incidentally has huge ears.

So, I watched the first four episodes online, can't yet find a working version of the fifth episode and MAN. I WANT THE LANCELOT PRETTY, NOW. Apparently he was Isaac from Heroes?? I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE, EPISODE FIVE. I will find you and your little dog too.

I wasn't part of the Xena and Hercules generation, but I kind of feel Merlin is this generation's answer to that. To anachronistic adventure fantasy starring a duo drowning in their own hoyay, that is. EVERYONE, COME JOIN THE MERLIN FLAILPARTY.

BED, this shit is kind of up your alley. I hope you watch it.


Hey, cape aside, that's like Pete and Ed's armor Arthur's wearing?

"Is it my imagination or are you beginning to enjoy yourself?"
"It's not totally horrible all the time." ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DO IT, all night long.

"I wouldn't lie to you." ...already? That was fast, guys.

This is episode two and already we have a "Merlin and Arthur against the world!"

The background music of Merlin and Arthur's breakup scene is hilariously histrionic, wtf.

"The heart cannot truly hate THAT WHICH MAKES IT WHOLE"? Are you kidding me. WOW.

Arthur is SO PRETTY. So pretty. UNGH I WANT.

Arthur/Morgana! I want to like it. But something about it is annoying. Though I am a big fan of how she can make him do anything she wants. ARTHUR. Twisted around so many people's little fingers. Like MERLIN'S. And even his father, in the 'I just want him to be proud of me' sort of way.


I am, like, in love with Arthur's panicked facial expressions whenever Merlin does something stupid and noble. WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. Arthur has to step in and verbally abuse Merlin while saving his ass, barely concealing his panic and fear and anger and LOVE. AT THE BANQUET, after Merlin makes his wild accusations, Arthur's all like let me handle this 'cos I already know how he ticks apparently. WELL THEN. And Arthur's THE FIRST AT HIS SIDE WHEN MERLIN FALLS TO THE FLOOR.

Only four episodes in and Arthur's already like, "I will go to the ends of the earth for you, Merlin! I will risk life and limb. FOR YOU."

CALLING ARTHUR'S NAME IN DELIRIOUS FEVER? WHAT SWEET NECTAR IS THIS?

WTF DINOSAURS?? Well, I guess not, but it sure as hell looked like a spinosaurus.

OH MY GOD, Merlin sending Arthur that glowing ball of light thing. Lost in delirious fevered sleep and MOANING and his first instinct is to SAVE HIS ARTHUR-KING. SAVE YOURSELF ARTHUR-KING, don't mind my dying self, and Arthur's like OH I MIND IT VERY MUCH for who will I make out with then, WHO WILL unDRESS ME.

OMG I JUST DIED. "FASTER FASTER ARTHUR" INDEED. That was PROBABLY A FLASHBACK TO A FEW DAYS AGO.

Harharhar, his father being all like, "Why do you care so much?" YEAH ARTHUR, WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH.

"Yeah, it was nothing," INDEED. You're not fooling anyone, Arthur-king. YOU TWO ARE TOTALLY LOVERRRRRS.

i feel we could! hmm, but how do we want to do so? i can do set-up, but if i do set-up, we will then have a plot, a subplot, angst, and a lot of violence, which kind of negates the point. look, i have an incorrigible disease. (no, i am dying for some terrible beastie to descend on camelot and the talking horses to kick their way into the great hall, screaming, "get the hell away from my king!" as the knights of camelot gape and edmund pulls himself up onto phillip's bare back, peter vaulting onto sebi's and turning her around with his knees, raising his sword to fight the, i don't know, something that flies and has ripped off the roof. and the whole talking horses thing may or may not ruin the alliance.)

*cough*

WOAH THERE WILD BILL. i'm just talking about what we've written so far, up to the point right before the edmurlin confrontation, with a few (but not large) additions in-between to make it flow. and maybe more porn. hell yes to angst ('cos this is me here), violence ('COS THAT IS YOU THERE), and subplot, but all the plot i'm talking about is, the kings of narrrrnia arrive at camelot, edmund is all "pete that is a BAD IDEA", pete and arthur-king lustily glare at each other. THAT is our set-up, and then there is porn ever after. eh? eh?

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

*blinks prettily* but i feel we could easily add in an action plot! it wouldn't be any trouble at all!

*cough*

incorrigible disease, you know. yeeessss. the kings of narnia arrive at camelot, and then there is some vague feast-type welcoming stuff. do we want peter and arthur sparring at some point, like you had up above?

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

this isn't to say that we can't ed&merlin (ed/merlin?!) and pete/arthur-king wary circling right here.

yes to sparring! that's all you. you and your medievalry. and uther says amused, "if he weren't already king, we ought to make him a knight." and arthur SCOWLS.

leaving the ring, merlin's like, "good job--"

and arthur raises a hand and snaps, "don't." stomps off to wangst about daddy issues.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

should we take this to e-mail, maybe? since it's going to be, like, actual fic type thingy.

oh, and uther is totally underestimating peter and edmund, because peter really is, like, a couple years younger than arthur and looks it (arthur's, what, in his early twenties somewhere? and peter's, like, eighteen or nineteen at this point) and because they arrived with such a tiny retinue, because they can't bring all their ordinary people with them since they're all MAGIC. and they are trying to forge alliances here.

if this was part of the show, it would be a three episode arc! "the high king of narnia arrives at camelot to forge an alliance!, part one." "arthur and peter argue, while merlin tries to figure out why edmund is sneaking around, part two." "narnia's secret comes out, and camelot is attacked!, part three."

hmm, you're right. TO THE BATCAVE.

and by batcave i mean inbox.

i'm gonna copypaste this shiat into a word document and send it over. DAMMIT we'll have to use PROPER CAPITALIZatiOn!

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

sweeeet. uh, i'm going to dinner, but i shall be back shortly!

also, how do you want to play the co-writing thingy? i write a bit, you write a bit? that sort of thing?

[puckling.livejournal.com]

So I followed some random links to get here, and you have no idea who I am, but for the record: I WOULD TOTALLY READ THIS. And love it a lot. Really a lot.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

AHAHA i am so glad, 'cos peter/arthur THEIRLOVEISSOBLOND and full of boyish shenanigans! and peter is pretty much the arthur of narnia.

we've been passing the fic back and forth in email (now with more swordfighting!), though who knows when (OR IF??) we'll finish it. but when we do, it'll probz be on merlinslash and narnia_slash. thanks for caring, seriously <33 XD

[puckling.livejournal.com]

SOBLONDANDFLOOPY! And the armor. *swoons*

and peter is pretty much the arthur of narnia.
You know, I had never thought of it that way, but you are totally right.

I can't wait to see the finished product.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

AND THE ARMOR, totally. and their ability for compelling shock-and-horror faces! and how i want to run my fingers through their hair foreverrrr.

peter and arthur, DOOMED KINGS. oh the long beautiful fall from grace!
