i've had this au idea for a while and have tried writing it but i don't get far into it before abandoning it so ill post it in case someone else wants to write it or take some inspiration from it or what have you. s4ep1/2 au.

merlin uses his magic to just latch arthur's feet to the ground as well as lancelot's when he sees him creeping towards the veil. merlin turns to face them as he walks backwards, revealing his gold eyes and magic to arthur which barely registers in his mind as he understands what merlin's doing and Panics. he's yelling and almost begging and demanding merlin to get back here you idiot. i'm the king you listen to me

and merlin just smiles and is like when have i ever listened to you? and steps into the veil, sacrificing himself and closing it. with his death, his magic releases arthur and lancelot who are just like. what the fuck. and grief-stricken. and angry. anyways they go back to camelot and lancelot stays with gwen and they mourn together. gwaine is. a wreck. the knights are all grieving. arthur is just. gone. like. he closes himself in his chambers for like two weeks. he doesn't sleep, he doesn't eat, he can barely function. anyways merlin watches him from the veil as a spirit, he watches all of them and is a little guilty about causing them so much grief and heart ache but he rather them be sad and alive than dead so he doesn't regret it that much

magic lore i made up - since merlin gave his life in an exchange, he gets to remain conscious and aware within the veil. the other spirits that roam around are focused on whatever's keeping them there (and keeping them from moving on to the afterlife). there's a lot of sorcerers in camelot who are angry and crying because they were executed by uther - their heads cut off, their bodies charred, or their necks bent at odd angles. they wander around calling for justice. anyways ygraine's life was also taken in an exchange so what i'm saying is ygraine and merlin best friends arc.

they both watch over arthur with worry and then one day arthur just storms out of his chambers and down to the library and buries himself in books, searching desperately for a way to bring merlin back. with how little he's eating and sleeping, arthur ends up passing out and has a nightmare. merlin reaches out on instinct wishing to comfort him and ends up getting pulled into his dreams, only with his intention being to comfort, his arrival shifts the dream from a nightmare into something a lot more pleasant - merlin and arthur together and alive and...courting? it looks like? arthur leans in to kiss him but the dream dissipates right before their lips meet.

anyways, that happens a few times with a few different dreams as arthur searches for a way to open the veil again and bring merlin back. i have two different endings for this though. one is, since merlin is emrys and immortal, after some time the cailleach comes back and is like "immortal asshole. i took some of your eternal life force but you're still immortal but the veil is still sealed. i can't keep someone who still has all this life. get out." and just pushes him out of the veil and into his body again. OR arthur finds a way to bargain with the cailleach and sees his mother with merlin and bada bing bada boom (i forgot to add that arthur at some point finds out about his uncles treachery lmao) trades agravaine's life for ygraine's and then his father's (he can't stand to see his father wasting away and sees this peaceful death as mercy) for merlin's. and he gets his mom and bf best friend manservant back.

after everything settles down, arthur finally has time to focus on merlin's magic but with the trauma of almost losing him, he finds he really can't care about it and just repeals the ban to keep from even thinking about executing him so merlin will never be in danger again. ygraine is also happy about this bc i hc she had a little bit of magic. she learned from her gf nimueh. bonus hc bc i feel like it - ygraine and uther were married and loved each other, yes, but ygraine took nimueh as her consort and uther took balinor as his consort.

okay thats all. if anyone actually writes this or anything similar to it, it'd love to read it. pls tag me or dm me <3

Darkest Hour CH8

Had Beatrice called her name before the fall? Had she thought about her as the monster dragged her down to the floor and tossed her like a ragdoll? Had she regretted tracking her down to the church? 

Ava smashes her fists into her skull, trying to make the images disappear. Stop, she begs, crying louder and louder every second.

Ava has a heated conversation that brings strong feelings to the surface; stronger than she can deal with on her own.

the vampire diaries 8.16 // louise gluck, crossroads

“and damon, like the voiceover tell us, he was worried he would never see stefan again. it was just elena assuring him that there would be peace. that we’ve dealt with this other side of darkness for several seasons, but there’s also light out there and there’s peace, and damon will find it. if you search for it, you will find it. and we wanted to get that last moment to see that [...] damon found it too, and it looked just like his brother.” — kevin williamson

Watching Merlin season 4 for research purposes and I don't know whether to laugh or cry so I'll settle for screaming. As if switching from Lancelot's funeral to Agravaine being suspicious wasn't bad enough as a tone shift, the next episode literally starts with a PARADE. JUST. I rewatched TDH yesterday so I've had time to settle, but I can just imagine someone watching TDH and The Wicked Day back to back and. Just. Tears and snot tearing down their face then suddenly A PARADE. IT'S ARTHUR'S BIRTHDAY. Then Uther dies which is arguably once again something to celebrate. Just... the tone, man. The tone.

I forget which episode it is where Gaius is kidnapped after Agravaine accused him of sorcery but it’s something along the lines of “The Secret Sharer” and it’s before “Lancelot Du Lac” but it infuriates me. Gwaine absolutely should’ve figured out Agravaine in that episode and it’s annoying that he didn’t. “I’m checking to see if he’s breathing” had me fuming. I hate Agravaine so much and that whole interaction between him and Gwaine at the end I feel was just a disservice to Gwaine’s character. It was such a perfect opportunity to give Merlin another ally in that.

New chapters of my Time Travel HP AU

[shy-forceghost]

Beatrice has a very high resistance to pain, Ava knows that. She has seen her bump into an infinity of furniture during their time in the Alps (a surprisingly weird number of times considering she’s talking about tactically trained, over-careful sister Beatrice), and not even once did Bea let out a single complaint. She was scandalised when she learnt that Bea goes through her period without taking a single painkiller for her cramps, to “grow her pain threshold” (“ seriously, Bea? You are insane!” ). During their training, it had been rare the occasion in which Bea had whimpered or complained after her trainee’s hits, and only once Ava had managed to draw the very minimal show of tears from her eyes. Not that she was completely proud of that, though.

So, yes. Beatrice is very resistant to pain.

That’s why, when Ava wakes up in the middle of the night and finds her silently crying and shaking, she can’t stop her heart from breaking a little more.

Darkest hour, Chapter 4: Featuring medical mysteries, a bonding history rant, and an unpleasant surprise for Beatrice.

Love can be found even in the darkest places. It doesn’t change anything, perhaps it makes the ending to their story worse in some ways, but it’s there. It meant something to them.

And that’s all that matters, really.

don’t you just cry when

”I am everywhere and nowhere. I am your greatest joy and deepest sorrow. In the morning and in the evening, when you enjoy your afternoon tea in the garden, when you listen to the musicians play; I am there. I am in birdsong, in the wind and thunder for we are the creator’s children, blessed with the peace of death and eternal starlight.”

AAAAAAAAA I gave myself so many feels
