*FLAILS*

1. In the realm of LOLWAT, theyr in ur internets, pr0ning ur president. It will only be a matter of time before Obama/Putin/Sarkozy. OR SO I HOPE.

2. They were filming Life On Mars outside where I was having lunch yesterday. I don't watch the show at all so I didn't care much, but it did make me vaguely wish that shows I care about film here, except not really. It's not like Uther and Arthur are ever going to show up on their horses in Manhattan with a retinue of knights to try to negotiate an alliance with Mayor Bloomberg. ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. (Merlin gets lost on the subway, and Morgana and Gwen wander happily in Chinatown shopping for cheap perfume.)

3. There is one request on Yuletide for Johnny Maxwell fic! And thirteen offers! OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE OH PLEASE.

4. I watched Episode 8 sober and I have ( further thoughts, and by further thoughts, I mean CAPSLOCK. )

5. Further thoughts on ( ARTHUR PENDRAGON CROWN PRINCE OF CAMELOT & HOW HE WILL CUT YOU. )

6. EVERYONE. EVERYONE. YOU GUYS, I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE. Please tell me in comments about all the other shenanigans that happen in this reality show. I NEED TO KNOW.

"Just Lie Back and Think of Camelot." Merlin (BBC). Arthur/Merlin, rated R (i think).

I was scribbling parts of this in lab while my TA babbled on about the stepwise regression method and I thought to myself, "Oh yeah! Things that are not angst. I remember those." Man, when was the last time I wrote slash that wasn't angsty? Not since LOTRips, I don't think. (LOLOLZ, REMEMBER LOTRIPS, GUYS? Oh man. Good times.) And I've written, like, one happy Narnia fic, because Narnia is fucked up.

'Merlin', however, is the good crack. I do at some point want to write about the future encroaching and Arthur stumbling towards kinghood, watching in horror as Uther and Morgana are consumed by their own crazy, but for right now I can only offer Arthur being a smug bastard.

LOL @ how the phrase "lie back and think of England" has its own Wikipedia page. Oh, Wikipedia. <3


Just Lie Back and Think of Camelot
Merlin. Arthur/Merlin. Rated... R or M? Spoilers: Episode 4, "The Poisoned Chalice." Tip of the hat to the fabulous Bedlam for beta duty.
Or, "Four Ways Merlin is a Crap Servant and One Way He Isn’t Oh, Who Are We Kidding. Five. Five Ways."
