They make me push the pram a lot.

Prince Arthur = fanon Draco? He's not a bad guy, just an asshole with an angst-ton of daddy issues who is full of himself. He's a little misguided, having a sociopath for a father, but he's not stupid and his heart is true. Really, all he needs is someone to help redeem him and guide him, someone who calls him out on his bullshit, ~~and also some buttsex,~~ and he will do great things.

OKAY SO. Was it just that I had been drinking all night before (and, uh, during) watching THE BEGINNING OF THE END (omg), or was the plot actually... compelling? Arthur's face (OMG HIS FACE <3333) isn't even the only redeeming thing, nor was the hoyay redeeming, being KIND OF NONEXISTENT. BBC WHERE IS OUR GAY. BUT. On to the hooray. Threats to kill dangerous children! Morgana kicking so much ass! Arthur being all noble and taking care of kingly business, and also saving people (who aren't even Merlin)! Capable and valiant Arthur is my favorite!

I was watching it with my friend, to whom I had been building up the hoyay sooooooo much. I felt fairly cheated when, AGAIN, IT WAS NOT THERE. But then she brought up a good point: "I'm feeling lots of Uther/Morgana here." UH, YEAH. It is kind of a creepy ship, but since when has being creepy ever stopped me doing anything. Uther/Morgana and its power games and mindfuckery, oh I would read it.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT. MERLIN/MORGANA. ALL OVER THE PLACE. I... think I like it?! Merlin and Morgana, fighting injustice and keeping their boundless magical powers a secret OR ELSE THEY WOULD DIE. 'Kay, I don't do official recs anymore 'cos ya'll should just check out my delicious, but while we're on this subject, there is awesome Merlin/Morgana fic this way.

Arthur/Morgana/Merlin: best thing or BESTEST THING?

My friend called the kid being Mordred. I kind of didn't figure it out until ten seconds before the revelation. Ya, even with the episode title and all.

Can we really not escape our destinies? This show is so fucking campy, I have a hard time imagining the tragic endgame that we all know is to come.

Why are my best-beloved fandoms British-esque and set in the past? "Write what you know", I'm doing it wrong.

The internet gave my computer herpes because I was superdumb and looked for Episode 8 in some seriously sketchy sites. A typo-ridden message keeps on offering to download spyware for me, and sometimes it starts to before I'm like OH NO YOU DON'T. I think have gotten rid of everything except the .dll file, because I can't delete it if it is in use... YEAH, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE. So I guess I'm going to the IT helpdesk tomorrow.

ETA: I've changed my Merlin icon for completely superficial reasons.

Son of ETA:

kingandward, an Uther/Morgana community. THAT'S RIGHT.

MERLIN/MORGANA, I AM NOT ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE. OR AT LEAST IN THE SHIPPERY OF BAD BRITISH TELEVISION. I agree with the creepiness of Uther/Morgana but creepy not technically bad?

I haven't watched episode eight yet, so I have no idea how they're going to sneak Mordred into the plot but wait, isn't he supposed to be Arthur's lovebaby? Arthur's inbred psychologically-fucked lovebaby? *is intrigued*

I blame every fandom I am currently in on Narnia. Back in the day, I wrote about skinny boys who play guitar and fondle each other on stage and NOW LOOK WHAT I'VE BECOME.

everyone in merlin seems to want to sleep with each other! except arthur and gwen?! OH SHOW.

there is an uther/morgana community out already!

YEAH DUDE SAME HERE. i sort of wrote fic before discovering fandom, and i discovered the winning fic/fandom combination through, uh, weezer. waaaaaay back in the day, when ffnet still allowed nc17 rps.

Well, because Arthur is too busy trying to please daddy and Gwen is spending all her time figuring out how to find herself in the middle of a Merlin and Morgana sandwich. Ohmanthatneedstobewritten.

Weezer has/had fic?!

merlin/gwen/morgana is pretty much canon. weezer had fic! there are a couple i wrote in my memories, but oh dude, sometimes i miss the Bands section of ffnet (covered by mary sues though it was). the cure fic! u2 fic! ben folds five fic! (okay so i was the only lame-o writing ben folds five fic, but still.)

the cure fic?! jesus, i feel like i have missed out on an essential part of life.

and there were metric tons of green day and blink 182 fics for sure. she wrote my favorite the cure fics (http://love.less.as), back in the day.

I am just SO SAD that Mordred isn't Arthur and Morgana's lovebaby, because dude, y'all have to love the canon incest lovebabies with daddy issues that lead to the downfall of a kingdom. HOW COULD BBC IGNORE THAT?

But seriously, this is, like, epic tragedy. Arthur's tragic flaw! Merlin's other tragic flaw! THE END IS COMING! You cannot escape your destiny!

Hot damn, and YET.

Also, I want Arthur/Susan and Lucy/Gwen. *apologetic*

i mean, it went and ignored a hell of a lot of other things.

i have difficulty reconciling the tragic end with the mess of flail that the show is now! i'm half-expecting BBC to be make them all live happily ever after, even when mordred doesn't die. make some statement about how you make your own destiny.

oh dude, susan/morgana. speaking of crackovers, i'll get to cross and grail, uh, sometime this week?

yes, but the EPIC TRAGEDY.

oh, i know. i think half the thrill is that everybody knows how it's going to end, so some of the injokes are just -- oh, you know, like gwen being all, "i will never have to choose between lancelot and arthur! don't be ridiculous." but there are points when it just hurts, and merlin walking himself into the end is just...*flails wildly* but me and tragedy, you know.

SUSAN AND MORGANA. YES.

(you know, a few years after crosstree and grail, when they're all, "hey, narnia's coming by again," and arthur expects it to be peter and edmund, and instead it's peter's gorgeous younger sister, and morgana and susan are sizing each other up and arthur is like, "i am hoping for a catfight YES I AM," and then walks in to see susan and morgana commisserating over stupid men and glasses of wine.)

there is probz that scene where arthur approaches susan from behind and thinks it's morgana until susan turns around and arthur is like OH PARDON ME. and then they flirt. at some point she'll probably be like, "you remind me of my brother." which may or may not, you know, weird arthur out a bit when later they start DOING IT.

UMMM SUSAN/MORGANA/ARTHUR: bestestestest?!

OMG YES. (susan/arthur/peter?)

and arthur is nothing if not amused by the fact that susan carries a bow and quiver until they're on a hunt, and the boar startles her horse into throwing her in its panic. on her feet, alone, with the boar charging at her, susan draws bow and arrow, as calm as if she's sitting in her bower.

arthur cannot reach her in time. the world seems to slow and stop.

she draws, looses, has another arrow in her hand almost before the first is in the air; there are three buried in the boar's chest and a fourth between its eyes when it falls to the ground practically at susan's feet and the world has started again, the ground shockingly hard beneath arthur's boots as he vaults from his horse's back, his sword in his hand.

susan leans down and pulls her arrows free, straight out and not twisting them, and cleans the on the sleeve of her gown before replacing them in her quiver. she turns and smiles at arthur. "i can," she says, "take care of myself, your highness."

<33 YAY

hell, arthur/susan/morgana/peter. everyone in both narnia and camelot are already sleeping with each other anyway. edmund/morgana: DELICIOUS.

"i thought you would know by now, sire," susan muses, "not to underestimate narnia."

and arthur is disinclined to reply, because susan is right, and also because now doesn't seem like the most opportune time for chitchat, what with trying to get her dress off and all. his mouth on her neck tasting the bitterness of her perfume. he's a little busy.

"uh-huh," arthur mumbles, before the world suddenly turns upside down and he finds himself winded on his back, the queen of narnia astride him, taking her dress off herself.

uhhhh, i should add an LJ interest that says 'throwing arthur to the bed'?

HOORAH WE ARE AT IT AGAIN.

also OMG YES PLEASE. to everything.

"you're up late," morgana says. she closes the door behind her.

edmund sets his quill aside. "so are you," he notes, looking up at her. "something i can do for you, my lady?"

morgana reaches behind her, struggling to get at the ties of her dress, and edmund gets up. "let me help you," he says, and his fingers are quick and light on her back, her waist, his breath warm against her neck. he doesn't ask why she's here. he says, "i've done this for my sisters back at cair paravel."

morgana turns around to face him, holding her dress up at the shoulders. "have you done this for your sisters?" she asks, and lets her dress fall to the floor as she kisses him. they're of a height, and edmund doesn't have to bend his head to kiss her back, his mouth warm and sure against hers.

"you might be surprised," he murmurs into her skin, faintly bemused, as his hands settle onto her hips.

hmm. merlin/lucy?
