#Lancelot and Arthur sass each other

[sasha-br]

I go through periods where rereading some of my old King Arthur fanfic reminds me how much fun I had doing it - and how much I miss the time when the fandom was in its heyday (even if it was a tiny fandom). Bless everyone that still kudos, comments and reads my work. I love every version of Arthur and Lancelot so much.

[squeiky]

*The multiverse opens up thanks to the phantom Ruby*

Blaze pops out of the dimension portals first.

Then Classic sonic and tails pops out, as well as versions from the story books, and extra media.

Everyone is talking with alternate versions of themselves.

Shadow, talks to all the other shadow types as well. We've got captain Shadow, Sir lancelot, and mabye movie and boom shadow.

They talk to eachother, seeing how each shadows live differently from one another.

Boom shadow lives in a cave, and fights sonic per usual. Shadow is not surprised by this. (Let's assume he's somewhere else for the sake of the story.)

Movie shadow? Not much is known yet so he's probably stuck in a wormhole or something.

Leaving shadow with Captain and Sir Lancelot.

The conversation goes as followed:

Shadow: "So what's your life like?"

Sir Lancelot: "As Knight of the round table, I pledged my life to serve King Aruthr. For the most part, I train to keep my skills sharp while protect the King and follow his orders whenever is nessesary."

Captin': "Tch- how noble of ye' but I ain't goin' ta be praising a bootlicker to some here King- "

*Sir Lancelot draws his sword*

Sir Lancelot: "Do not talk about me or my king in vain you scurvy harboring pirate."

*Captin' puts his hands on the sword and lowers it down away from him. Sir Lancelot then puts his sword away. *

Shadow: "Calm down, we wouldn't want to be attention to us. It's kind of annoying how loud everyone else is being about this whole event anyways.

Captin': "Ay, hes right..Yer not the Captin' here. Besides, if you ask me, my life full of tis here adventure! Me and me partner sail the sees looking for treasure, and perhaps some new crew."

*Captin' laughs*

Captin': "You'd be surprised how I got a sea-sick hedgehog to part of me pirate crew Hahaha! We're a swashbuckling duo him and me!harhar!"

*Shadow raises an eyebrow towards Captin'*

Shadow: "Wait.. hedgehog?"

Captin' "Ay."

*Captin' notices something behind Shadow and waves*

Captin': "Here he comes right now!'

*Pirate Sonic playfully spin dashes towards Captin'. He catches him in ball form, then P'sonic goes out of ball form and wraps one of his arms around Captin' while Captin' is standing in the usual crossed armed formation. Captin' has a slight smirk.*

P'Sonic: "Yo! What's going on here ey?"

Shadow(angry+flabbergasted): "W-Wait- SONIC??!"

P'Sonic (sass): "Ay, and yer Shadow."

*P'Sonic looks at Captin' confused and points to Shadow with his thumb*

P'Sonic: "Does he need to get his ey' checked too?"

Captain'(slightly insulted): "Oy, What about me eye?"

Shadow(digusted+mad): "Wait a minute, Sonic is your partner?? he's the seasick hedgehog?!?"

*P'sonic looks at Captin' angered. His arm is off of Captin's shoulders now.*

P'Sonic: "Oy! I told you not to tell anyone that!"

Captin': "I never said I wouldn't, sides it's a kneeslapper hahhar!"

*Shadow looks towards Sir Lancelot who seems unphased by all this.*

Shadow: "Don't tell me King Arthur is-"

*Before he says anything, another blue blurr come by. This time, they jump out of their spin dash to approach Sir Lancelot in a calmer manor. They wave towards the trio of shadows and the hyper pirate sonic*

King Arthur: "Greetings Sir Lancelot!"

*Sir Lancelot goes on one of his knees, bowing down to King Arthur(the true king, Sonic) before rising once more. King Arthur is a bit emberassed by all the formality. Shadow is having a existential crisis throughout all of this.*

Shadow(quietly to himself, in pure utter disbelief): "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Sir Lancelot: "A pleasure to see you once more my King."

*Sir Lancelot looks around, then back to King Arthur*

Sir Lancelot: "Your highness, If you do not mind me asking... what exactly are you doing here?"

King Arthur: "The other versions of me got an idea to visit all the others to see what they're all like."

*Pirate Sonic interjects.*

P'Sonic:" Ay! The 3 of us went to go n' visit ya first! Then we're off to see the others!"

Shadow(mentally recovering): "Hold, hold on- 'three of us'???"

Sonic: "YUUPP! SUPRISEE!!"

Shadow: *sigh* "of course...Hello Sonic."

Sonic: "and hello Shadow! and... Shadow's!"

P'sonic: "Oy Sonic #2! Let's go visit that Bat lady next!"

Sonic: "Aww but I just got here- wouldn't wanna miss seeing-"

*sonic looks around for a split second. There's Shadow standing looking at him, with the usual crossed armed stance. Then there's Sir Lancelot whose taken the role of protector for King Arthur by standing ever so slightly in front of him, with him holding as if he is secretly readying himself to deflect any attack at him or King arthur. Then there's Pirate Sonic and Captin' who are chatting about treasure hunting and ideas for the usual technically illegal pirate activites like murder. They're enjoying eachother company.*

Sonic: "-how...the other Shadows..."

*Sonic turns his head slowly towards Shadow. A devious smirk slowly grows on his face and he slowly raises his eyebrows too. He then looks directly at shadow, who's avoiding eye contact."

Sonic: "Are.....?"

*Sonic throws his hands up and sighs*

Sonic:"Welp! I think I have my fill, let's go meet the Rouge then, see what she's up too."

P'Sonic: "Ay-Ay!"

&

King Arthur: "Alright!"

*The two Zoom off before sonic does. Sonic looks back at shadow, and Shadow quietly speaks to him while the other Shadow's are distracted.*

Shadow: "Don't. Question. IT."

Sonic: "Hey man, this says more about you than it says about me~"

*Shadow angerly growls for a split second.*

Sonic: "I'm just sayinggg-If there's something you uhh.. wanna tell me, I won't bite!"

Shadow(angry): "LEAVE. NOW."

Sonic: "Alright-Alright! IM GOIN'-IM GOING-sheesh!"

*Sonic zooms off, but then turns and yells towards shadow while running backwards*

Sonic: "IM JUST SAYING-IF YOU NEED TO TALKK I WONT BITEEEE I PROMISSEeeee!!!"

*Shadow is really ticked off. Then looks back at his counterparts*

Shadow: "Wh-What was that all about?? That Sonic- what was all that weird stuff about??"

Sir Lancelot: "I am simply succeeding in my knightly duties."

Captin': "Captain's gotta know their crew!"

*the two look at eachother, then toward shadow.*

Sir Lancelot and Captin': "What's your excuse?"

Bonus:

Werehog Sonic ends up tackling everyone he visits, including Shadow who got stuck under his big as fuckin fur.

And P'Sonic, Rouge and Captin' all talk about the best ways to steal some jewels with the occasional mention of pirate ships and shooting cannons.

Sir Lancelot, and the other knightly versions, tend to confuse Sonic with King Arthur as they're both incredibly similar in apperance (and they technically are the same, but it's kinda of weird if I don't make the distinction, cause it looks like Sonic made some weird as cult with other versions of his freinds ngl.) So sometimes Sir Lancelot mistakes Sonic for his king and ends up flustering Sonic with all the noble gestures. This embarreses Sir Lancelot, as well as the rest of the round table crew, with mostly The Lady of the Lake and The Sword dude being able to make the distinction easily.

This also goes for the game crew as well, but less intense as King Arthur is just more regal than his other counterpart, and often hosts the more metallic gloves. Amy cannot make the distinction immediately struggles with this as well.

I just have to let you know, I SO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS IF! Watching the Merlin show was a huge part of my childhood, so I just love this idea 💜

I look forward to being a sassy little bastard and challenge my inner Merlin and annoy the living daylights outta Arthur~! I’m definitely excited to romance Arthur and Lancelot!! Both of them had my heart in the series so I can’t wait to see what you do with them!

I cannot wait for the demo!! 💜💜💕💕

Thank you 💜 honestly, if you didn’t grow up with Merlin, what were you even watching?

Please, sassy Merlin’s are my absolute favourite (probably because of how sassy he is in canon). Merlin and Arthur constantly sassing each other was the best part of the show (in my humble opinion).

I think in our hearts, we all knew that the real love triangle was Arthur/Merlin/Lance. Hopefully the poly will be of interest to you, your quad poly is certainly something I’m very excited about!

Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your demo, the suspense was very well written, and I enjoyed meeting the characters even only briefly (best dad, mr. Jaha was my favourite though). Looking forward to reading more! 💜💜

002: Merlin

Thank you for the ask! ❤️

how I feel about this character:

He’s such a sassy, brilliant little shit and I love him so much. I love how very complex his character is - he’s incredibly kind and protective and caring, but he also does not put up with anyone’s shit, walks into Camelot with magic and sasses the very first knight he finds, drops a chandelier on someone, and has a chat with a dragon. Iconic. For real though, one thing I truly love is both his complexity from the start, and the way he develops throughout the show even if it’s not necessarily positive character development.

all the people I ship romantically with this character:

Arthur, Leon, Mithian, and also I can see the appeal of Gwaine but I’ve been... put off the ship for reasons, and now I mostly vibe with the unrequited version from Gwaine’s side.

my non-romantic OTP for this character.

Merlin & Gwen, and Merlin & Lancelot (or Merlin & Gwen & Lancelot) are the chaotic duo/trio the world needs. I also absolutely love the idea of more Merlin & Elyan content because I feel like that would be a contest of sass that makes everyone avoid them to not become their target.

my unpopular opinion about this character:

Ngl this question is a blessing and a curse. I have so many.

He was right to not put the “greater good” above everything. It’s never a good idea tbh, and specifically, it would have been even less Merlin than how he developed in later seasons. On that note, I also don’t think that it’s hard to understand why he put Arthur and the people he loved first; first of all, it’s natural. Second of all, they’ve done a lot more for him than “his people” who either told him how very much they expect of him, or outright attacked him. To go off that; it’s also not a contradiction that he did. A dead Arthur wouldn’t have legalized magic, so it wasn’t a “betrayal on his kind” either.

Also, Merlin deflected emotional situations as much as Arthur did. Maybe for different reasons and sometimes situations of a different kind, but my boy does not deal well with EmotionsTM a lot of the time.

And because I cannot say this often enough: he had every right not to tell Morgana about his magic, he’s not to blame for what she did, and I don’t think it would’ve changed much in the long run except make his life even harder (or shorter.)

one thing I wish had happened with this character in canon:

Because obviously he hasn’t suffered enough, I would’ve loved seeing him being confronted and dealing with his immortality.

my OTP:

Merthur all the way. What can you do, they’re soulmates.

a headcanon fact:

After Arthur’s death, Merlin regularly brought flowers to Avalon, and while it’s sad, it also made him smile a little every time because he could perfectly imagine Arthur’s teasing while he failed to hide that he was happy about it.

Also, he reconciled with Aithusa some time after Camlann, and they kept each other sane (on that note: Merlin did not spend 1500 years solely grieving on the shore of Avalon. It wasn’t easy, and at the start, he only did it for being prepared and up to date when Arthur returned, but eventually, he also did it for himself. He never stops missing Arthur or waiting for him, but he’s not a mess for over a millenia.) 

send me a character or a ship and I’ll tell you what I think

Tagatha Dads Au

Kinda like the Uncle au but Dads! Edition

Basically August Sader vs Arthur Pendragon

August is one of Callis's oldest friends and was her closest colleague when they were both teaching.

They were always in contact with one another and after Callis adopts Agatha and August finally meets the baby girl, he decides to be the official unofficial Dad to the girl and has been very involved with Agatha's life since.

Callis and August's relationship is up for debate (personally I'd want them to stay as very close friends dedicated to their brilliant daughter but they could still end up together)

Ever since getting divorced, Arthur has dedicated his remaining life to two things: Tedros and his company. He doesn't feel like dating anyone anymore.

He's more of a Mom really than a Dad. Fusses over Tedros constantly.

Especially when the boy gets all depressed.

Lives away from Tedros but skypes constantly. Misses his boy dearly.

Does not notice his childhood friend, now his secretary, Gremalaine's very obvious feelings for him. She doesn't push.

He's also a recovering alcoholic and tries to remain clean for Tedros but he does sometimes indulge in wine when work gets too much.

August and Agatha love each other to the moon and back. He loves to spoil her constantly and WILL make anyone suffer if they hurt Agatha in anyway.

When Agatha becomes August's student, she made him promise her not to treat her any differently than any other student. He doesn't in his own class but will brag about her to anyone in school when their class is over.

He's very fashionable with turtle necks, coats, and suits as his main aesthetic.

Is concidered a Silver Fox.

August and Arthur have not met yet but they have heard of each other. Athur has heard of him because he was Tedros's teacher and August has heard of Arthur because who doesn't

They officially meet when Arthur was called for a Teacher-Parent meeting and both have decided that they did not like each other at all.

They're content with the fact that they never have to spend time with one another beyond school. Their children proved otherwise.

August begged Dovey to let Agatha change partners for a project because he will not have his little girl and that Pendragon boy stay in the same room alone for even a second. She'd kill him, he says.

Dovey dooesn't change it because Tedros has been fluncking her subject and Agatha was the best bet to help him.

Arthur didn't know about August and Agatha's relation so he was indifferent to it. He was concerned when he heard that Agatha was the one the got Tedros and Sophie together and that she was still friends with Tedros's worst ex though.

They didn't really think that Agatha and Tedros would get any closer but Merlin loved to point out to Arthur that Tagatha cut together. Arthur thought that he was delusional.

August and Reaper agree that Agatha was better off without getting involved with the Pendragon boy and couldn't wait for the project to be over.

Tagatha get together and both Dads are in shock. They couldn't process the idea.

Arthur is shocked because his son was now dating the girl that got him together with the ex that almost sent Tedros insane. What was his boy thinking?!

August was shocked because he'd never expected that Agatha would date anyone while still studying and to a boy like Tedros no less.

Everyone, especially the Dads, thought that Tagatha wouldn't last very long. They did and everyone now has to process that they'll have to get used to the idea of Tagatha being together and have to get along with each other.

August and Arthur don't really know what to do whenever they see each other.

Tedros hasn't been doing a good impression on Agatha's family but the boy still tries his best because he loves his girl very much.

Agatha has done a number on Merlin and maybe on Tedros's other uncles but Arthur doesn't completely trust her just yet and might be projecting his own failed relationship with Gwen on his son's relationship.

It takes many several tries but Tedros manages to charm Agatha's family with his sincerity and devosion to Agatha and they all admit that he's okay.

They do threaten him from time to time but it gets more playful and playful cause they know that Tedros would die for Agatha and vice versa.

Agatha has more or less won over Tedros's family already and she suprisingly gets more involved with his family's affairs than wanted.

She had her hand with Arthur, Gwen, and Lancelot's broken friendship.

Arthur has moved into town because he wanted to keep a close eye on Tedros and after Tagatha happened, he somehow finds himself spending more time with Agatha than both of them want.

The reason for this is because Tedros hasn't been having a good year because of some dude named Ryan or something and Agatha's been spending time with Tedros cause she wants to be with her man while Arthur visits his son for the same reasons and they kinda bond.

Agatha's very patient with Arthur even though she's kinda akward around him and Arthur still doesn't trust this Agatha girl and judges her severely because of it.

They get better but it takes a while and it involves Arthur being a jerk again and Agatha having enough and just calling him out on it and they sort of get more akward because Agatha does not want to handle this and Arthur's pretty ashamed of himself. Tedros took notice and they all just kinda worked it out.

After that dilema though, Arthur and Agatha have been on generally good terms with Arthur thinking that she's the best choice for Tedros and Agatha sort of just became fond of Arthur because he reminds her so much lf Tedros and they both work it out.

August and Tedros were more amusing.

Ever since they started dating, August has been on Tedros's ass subtly.

He sometimes brings up the previous crushes that Agatha had before and poke fun of the boy's less than impressive choice of style and would make Tedros involve in school work that Tedros wouldn't usually take.

He takes it with stride but admittedly all of them were tough but for Agatha then sure, he'll handle it.

Dovey had to intervene but August just found more subtle ways to annoy the boy.

They get together during gatherings and August wouldn't leave Tedros alone.

August finally admits that Tedros could be good for Agatha but only because he knows that Tedros would offer the world to Agatha and he was one of the people that helped Agatha with her confidence issues and that he doesn't want Agatha to change into someone that she's not.

They get better and their banter becomes more playful.

August doesn't know what to do with Arthur though.

They acted civil for more than a few seconds before insults were thrown.

Tagatha doesn't really know what to do because the both of them were being ridiculous.

August has always had this instinctual urge to snark and sass Arthur. He doesn't know if it was because Arthur reminded him of all the uglier sides that his son seemed to have inherited and that very son was now dating his baby girl and maybe he wants to make an example or something but it seemed to be most likely cause that he likes to tell himself.

Arthur is more or less reacting to all of this and it only gets worst.

He really could not believe that this was the man that Agatha looked up to.

But then he chalked it up to the nerves that August might be feeling because Tedros was dating Agatha and Arthur thought that if Agatha was his own daughter he would react the same way too.

Tagatha had a talk with their respective fathers and both agreed to be civil to each other especially in front of the children.

Speaking of children, they both hate it whenever Merlin would talk about that topic. Both were not ready to be grandfathers just yet. It's the only thing that they agree on. Begrudgingly.

August is very annoyed that the whole Pendragon family and friends (lead by Merlin) are all trying their best to make sure that Tagatha stays together. He was more suprised that Arthur was the same.

It all still felt very surreal until they caught Tagatha making-out.

Suddenly everything seemed to be very, very real. And they had the odd thought that they'll be seeing each other for the rest of their lives.

[secretsofthedarkestkind-arch]

Lee hadn't killed a soul in over a century and not once while being reincarnated this time, in hope to not reactive their cycle. But now here she was, reliving one of their most violent and blood filled lives. It made her skin crawl, made her itch to shed the armor and bath in the fires of hell.

She had witnessed Katerina take more lives than she could count--most extremely well deserved kills. The first time here, Katerina's magic and ruthlessness had left her in awe and curiosity--her own memories and powers not activated yet. This time? There was still some awe from not witnessing that type of power in so long but it was mixed with sorrow. This was only the start and the glee in Katerina's eyes was so telling, especially to her. Her other half was enjoying the slaughter, taking pleasure from the screams and sounds of burning flesh and broken bones.

Each life Lee took was tactical, precise, and instant. Her training from eons in the brotherhood coming to the surface to aid her in making this less bloody than need be. The weapons fit perfectly in her hands, balanced and it was an old dance using them that her body could never forget. Lee killed with a grace of a seasoned assassin.

-----

The way the horse warms to Katerina is not a surprise or one that fails to calm her nerves since entering this damn timeline. The answer the exact one she remembered.

The demand has a brow going up just slightly, that damn Petrova fire--sass and confidence. Lee chuckles quietly as she moves toward the stallion. Mounting with ease she turns to help Katerina up.

Another shiver goes down her body at the name or maybe it's from their hands touch each other as Lee helps her to mount. "Lancelot..." The name now so odd on her tongue. "Sir Lancelot...."

So maybe Lee was more than just a knight of the Round Table. History and folklore would call Lancelot a close companion and one of the greatest Knights of the Round Table. A hero of many battles, quests and tournaments, and famed as a nearly unrivaled swordsman and jouster. Along with an adulterer--lie. Lancelot never slept with Gwen, Lee had never had an attraction to the woman. Her heart had always been with Morganna, Katerina. But the war that was to follow from this night? Well, what better way to hide from the spotlight than make another the villain of the story?

Arthur and his wife tarnished Lancelot's reputation, caused a manhunt and so much more.

Lee sighs, rolling her neck before starting their ride away from the village and toward a hideout she had set up where they could change and regroup before the journey to the brotherhood.

secretsofthedarkestkind​:

The gold that flashes in Katerina’s eyes reminds Lee that her lover is very much a witch in this lifetime–though her full potential is not reached until later once her demi-god powers are unleashed by the trigger of their memories. A shiver so cold runs down her spine at the memories, freezing her blood within her veins.

The world of mortals and Gods may fear Lee as the daughter of the Queen and King of Underworld, her magic and powers dark in nature by blood—but no one was prepared for what Katerina would become here. A darkness even Hades’ feared, one unrivaled by any other expect one…the power of Morganna. Lee loathes this life, what it does and how Katerina is NEVER the same after this one.

Lee wants to cry, to scream, and curse the Gods but above all she wants to stop this history from repeating. She can’t though, not yet and not without her true lover at her side to start the long plan she has to stop all of this. So, she swallows all the pain down.

The demi-god sees the way Katerina cowers–that hadn’t happened last time but she’s just so angry at this situation once more. Her powers flare in a way she hadn’t wanted but in times of emotional turmoil Lee isn’t the best at harnessing them. But it is enough of a warning to her that Lee tries to reign it in. She would never hurt her lover, she would die first.

“Yes,” Lee whispers back, calm and soothing now that Katerina is listening to her and not hitting her. “I can take you to them….” Not that she really wants to but bending history is one she doesn’t think she can do on her own…not to the degree she would like to at least.

She wants to be the one to wipe those tears that have fallen away but she doesn’t. Instead she carefully grips Katerina’s shoulder, a light squeeze, “He will pay…they all will.” It’s not words spoken to sooth her or even a false promise. They will pay, they will all fall and die, so horribly that King Arthur and the knights of the round table become mere myth–little to no evidence able to be found in the wake of Morgan’s destruction.

I can use my magic to get us out of here if I must. Lead the way and I will cover you.–Lee’s heart clenches. There is only one soft spot for the soul of her lover, in every lifetime…one person that will always find love, protection, and kindness from the soul no matter how dark she becomes…Lee. Even in pain and anguish Katerina thinks of Lee’s safety. A witch who had just lost her family and life…the heart of Katerina shines through.

The tales of Morganna that have survived tell of the sorceress loving one person, Sir Lancelot. Though they have the tale so very wrong. That thought causes a smile to tug at the corner of her lips, but it doesn’t reach her eyes.

“Come then,” Lee puts her glove back on and pulls her sword back out. Katerina can use her magic, but Lee will use her strength and skill with the short sword and dagger tucked within her sheath if needed. Let Katerina protect her like only she can or ever has been able to. “This way.”

She leads the witch through the village, killing and fighting knights who may try to stop her or harm her companion. They reach the far end and Lee remembers the stray horse they found years ago, “Can you ride bareback?” She knows the answer but still asks for history’s sake.

Eyes land on the black stallion a few yards away and Lee whistles it over—a saving moment gifted to them by her mother in law Artemis.

I can take you to them.

The words repeat within the young witch’s mind and that is all she needs to know. There is a shift within brown eyes. A vulnerability that had been there before replaced by a hardened gaze - a fiery anger. She will show these men what it is like to mess with a Le Fay witch. Every one who has ever wronged her, everyone who has ties with King Arthur, they will pay.

As Lee leads the way, Katerina waves her hand about as one knight in particular comes towards them. She throws him against a burning building with such ease that it looks effortless. He catches on fire and there is something about it that she takes sick pleasure in - hearing his screams pleases her. She wants more, more of that power, she will never bow to any man nor will she ever cower in fear again.

A fireball is thrown at another. It is small and not quite as large as it could be since she is still learning her magic but it’s enough to set someone else aflame. Another man gets thrown  so harshly, a pike breaks through armor and pierces his heart and Katerina doesn’t even flinch.

They reach a beautiful black stallion and Katerina moves forward instantly, past Lee, to run her fingers over the horses muzzle. The horse nuzzles it’s snout into her head instantly, she has always had a way with animals.

“Yes. Mother taught me when I was just a girl. It didn’t take long, i’ve always had a way with animals. Help me up.” It sounds like a bossy demand and maybe it is. She makes the demands now, she is in charge, and her companion will soon come to realize that. Even within the brotherhood, she will not bow to them. She will listen, learn, and take on what they need her too but she will not bow to anyone ever again. She has had enough of bowing to powerful people like King Arthur. 

“ I suppose it’s only fair that I tell you my name. Morganna Le Fay.” She introduces herself as she moves to the horse’s side, near his rear, and looks over at the knight expectedly. She will ride on the back while Lee takes the reigns.
