I have sold my soul for icon space because I cannot resist icons like THIS.
I have already flailed myself out am apparently still flailing about Episode 10 in the comments of various people's LJs. So I will post instead
1. The fic where Will finds out about Merlin's magic. Merlin can't control it so well, it still explodes out of him inconveniently, so maybe he just turned a squirrel into an apple or he's splayed on his back with a smell of singed hair about him, and Will is staring at him like :-O.
Merlin is thinking, Mother's going to kill me.
When one of them finally speaks, it's Will, and he says, "What was that?"
Merlin ventures, "I don't know."
Will says, "Can you do it again?" and he doesn't sound frightened, or angry, or hateful or any of the other things Merlin's mother had warned him about.
So Merlin says, "Probably."
And Will grins. Merlin does too.
2. Arthur and Morgana SWORDFIGHTING. And Morgana KICKING HIS ASS. Uther says, "Well done, Morgana," and that's when Arthur stops playing nice. He spars with her without mercy, as if she were a real warrior, which is what Morgana has wanted all along. She delights in every blow, and every dodge and parry feels like dancing.
3. Morgana says, "You should learn to fight, Gwen. Every woman needs to know how to defend herself." And Gwen just kind of smiles sweetly and makes benign noises until one day Morgana catches her unaware in the smithy and then it's LIKE THAT SCENE FROM THE LANCELOT EPISODE, YOU KNOW. The male population all gathering and being like, "Ooooh!" In the end it's a draw, and Gwen has to remind herself to smile again, because for a while there she was really into it.
She wipes the sweat from her brow and says, "Perhaps I should've been born a man."
Morgana scoffs. "You are perfect as you are, Gwen."
And it becomes routine. They seek each other out and they practice combat in the night time, in the dusk, in the light of day.
$. Not a secret drabble 'cos I just have to say, Arthur's inspirational speech was LOLTASTIC. "Grow your crops in peace"?! ARTHUR. BEING A FEUDAL LORD. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. <3333 D'awww.
So, guys, the first![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
narniaexchange fic is posted, and it is the one I wrote! It is a Last Battle AU (because I don't have enough in my life already) where the Pevensies sans Susan return to Narnia instead of Jill and Eustace. It's more 'missing scene'-ish, I guess.
The Left Hand of Heaven. Edmund&Peter, the battles they have fought across two worlds. ~3000ish words, PG

animus_wyrmis, and vestarho I hope you like it. :)
DISCLAIMER: Uh, we didn't actually talk like this verbatim, and they weren't actually called Peter and Edmund, but they should've been:
Lassiter: "So is it to say that the motivations for our actions in this world is to be anchored in the other world? In heaven or whatever?"
Peter: "Yes. Our reasons for doing things in this world are created in heaven."
Edmund: "Look, are you left-handed or right-handed?"
Lassiter: "Right-handed."
Edmund: "But you wouldn't want to live without your left hand, would you?"
Peter: "The same can be said of this world and of heaven. What is earth but the left hand of heaven? We must embrace this earth because it has been given to us. We must find joy in it, and the good in it, but we keep our hearts in another world."
And in my head I was like OMFG. They're NARNIANS. Missing the point: I am doing it. NARNIATHOLICISMMM. (Aslan Day Adventists?!) CUE EPIC FACEPALM.
