"They won't tell us to do something we can't do," Arthur insists. "They're knights after all."

"Of a sort," Merlin adds dubiously.

"Look, I think the trunk is starting to give," says Arthur, and gives the tree another mighty smack with the herring.


Only a Model
Merlin, with apologies to Monty Python. Arthur, Uther, Morgana, Hunith, Merlin, Gaius. G. With spam, egg, bacon, and spam to [livejournal.com profile] marycontraire for enablementation. Spoilers for episode 10.
Let's not go to Camelot. It's a silly place.


this probably won't make sense if you haven't watched 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' )

I've never had an animated icon before, but I'm fair pleased with this one.

This drabble is brought to you by a bottle of Yellow Tail and a conversation about the most efficient way to kill the mood.


Doing It Wrong
Merlin. Merlin/Arthur. PG13.
The one where Merlin is bad at dirty talk.


I thought you wanted to be degraded. )

So I won't clog the February free-for-all prompt post with spastic commentficcing, I'm gonna post these here. This is a working post. The rest of the story is here. Unrelated snippets from the AU in which the Pendragons are hunters, starring Dean!Arthur, Sam!Morgana, and John!Uther.

I plan to post more snippets of this to this post should the inspiration continue to strike. So, this post is gonna be edit-prone. If you wanna leave me prompts, go ahead and I'll see what I can do with them. No promises, though.

...as if she hasn't spent the last handful of years trying to forget them, as if she never left at all. )

ALL RIGHT. I know I said I wouldn't be posting until the end of the month but CLOSE ENOUGH and ANYWAY I am doing this in the name of PORN. 'Cos if you haven't dragged your butts over to the Porn Battle then WOE BETIDE YOU. Also, if no one writes Sophie/Tess (Leverage/O11) or Mickey Bricks/Rusty Ryan (Hustle/O11), I will cry. Other interesting prompts include: Arthur/Merlin/Luke Skywalker, Arthur/Bradley James, Tim Roth/Gary Oldman, Angelina Jolie/Jennifer Anniston, Abraham Lincoln/Barack Obama, Ann Coulter/Barack Obama, Rahm Emmanuel/Barack Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel/Vladimir Putin. Quick, you can only participate until Feb 1! MAKE IT WORK, PEOPLE.

What a wonderful testament it is to the Merlin fandom that I wasn't the only one who suggested Merlin/Merlin RPF crossover prompts.


Two Prats Are Better Than One(?)
Merlin/Harry Potter. Merlin/Arthur/Draco. NC17.
Written for the prompt "Arthur/Merlin/Draco, brat" at Porn Battle VII.


Once Arthur and Draco got over their initial headbutting, they found themselves in a fast alliance. )

fgsjkjkd [livejournal.com profile] lettersandliars wrote me Morgana/Lucy because she's that awesome. omg. El Otro Cielo, Morgana learns magic from Queen Lucy and things go quite wrong. Merlin/Narnia crossovers are gonna take over the world.

In other news, I've always wanted to write swordfighting!Morgana fic, so I finally did. I also squeezed in bits of my beloved ‘Arthur vs. Morgana for Uther's love’, but there’s more of the sword thing because OH EPISODE TEN. Oh Morgana, and your awesome, and how you have a stole for every occasion.

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 three fics Episode 10 has made IMPERATIVE THAT FANDOM WRITE. )

So, guys, the first [livejournal.com profile] 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
Thanks for the beta [livejournal.com profile] animus_wyrmis, and [livejournal.com profile] vestarho I hope you like it. :)

The conversation that led to the title-- )
whynot: etc: oh deer (Default)
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."

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.
whynot: etc: oh deer (PEVENSIES)
They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said--

1. If you've ever wondered where the drabbles are at for Arthur/Susan, Morgana/Edmund, Uther/Lucy, Susan/Morgana, Lucy/Merlin, and the Dragon/Aslan (and Pevencest is a given), maybe you should look here. Part of my and [livejournal.com profile] bedlamsbard's ongoing mission to have the Pevensies sleep with everyone ever.

2. I never posted actual links to the following, and they do go with the overall theme of this post, so what the hell. In terms of Stardust crossovers, this is the one with Last Battle revisionism, and this is the one with Ben Barnes/Ben Barnes Caspian/Dunstan.

3. Here is that meme where you pair up the characters of the adjacent icons on your icons page and write a drabble about it.

Virgil Malloy (of O11) & Donald Duck, Miraz & the Beatles )
whynot: etc: oh deer (it is a silly place.)
Guys, look at the things wot I can haz! I can haz new Merlin icon! See those two guys in my icon? They DO IT ALL THE TIME. All the time. I can haz delicious account! Someone there already took the name 'lassiter', but if you go to the delicious of 'lassiter', there are actually no bookmarks bookmarked at all. What a waste! HARRUMPH.


Anyway. FOR MY FIRST TRICK, I and my lovely assistant [livejournal.com profile] bedlamsbard will go straight for the crack and write Peter Pevensie/Prince Arthur. Rated, uh, somewhere between R and NC17? I dunno. I think it's trying to develop plot, but don't worry, we've got a big stick ready in case it tries anything fancy.

Apparently I only write fic in comments now?


ALSO. My demography professor recommended to us a documentary series called Up, directed by Michael Apted. And I was like, "Michael Apted, Michael Apted... why does that sound so familiar?" Oh, could it be that he's the dude directing Voyage of the Dawn Treader? Narnia, I can't escape you if I tried.

But, see, this kind of gives me hope that Our Heroes in Dawn Treader will kick even more ass. The entire premise of the Up series is that it follows the lives of 14 people, starting from the age of 7 (7 Up, released in 1964), making a profile every 7 years until -- well, it's still ongoing. The latest installment is 49 Up was released in 2005. It's supposed to illustrate how circumstances have affected the way these people grew up. How can this project not inform Apted's feel for character continuity? I wager he'll have a feel for portraying how people grow, recover from heartbreak and triumph, and lose and find grace.

Dear Michael Apted,
Please awesomize Our Heroes from PC the way that PC awesomized Our Heroes from LWW. I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Seacrest out.
