Things that bring me out of a Merlin fic lol
Gwaine exclusively calling Arthur Princess . . . He says this once in the show guys
Pet names - idk why it just feels ooc most of the time Idk who this Percy person is, that's Percival. And I certainly don't know Merls
Uther not remembering Merlin's name - he knows
Aithusa calling Merlin papa or dad or something like that - idk it just icks me
Aithusa being referred to as "she" - I am a stickler for canon lol
Characters cursing very often, or using language that doesn't seemingly exist in their universe ("Arthur only has one braincell", using more than the one allotted PG13 "fuck" for dramatic effect)
Skipping over the entire recovery for an injury when the injury is the focus of the fic :(
Using the word "dating"
Fics where Merlin is depicted as a literal child in season one
Disclaimer: this is just my taste and doesn't dictate a "good" or "bad" fic

one of my favorite things about hotd is how we get exposed to the differences in the dragons' personalities. one great way to see this is through how each dragon forms a bond with a new rider. when aemond claimed vhagar, she bucked around like a bull and tried to throw him off to make him prove his worth by staying in the saddle. when seasmoke claimed addam, he hunted addam down and basically claimed addam himself. when hugh claimed vermithor, he stood up to him and roared in his face. and when silverwing claimed ulf, she headbutted and sniffed him before deciding to take him for a joyride. each has such a distinct personality and you can see a clear dichotomy between dragons pursuing their riders and riders pursuing their dragons.

i just think that Duke Thomas should like oink at Dick Grayson. I think that when Dick tries to come in Duke’s room and have like a weird sibling heart-to-heart, Duke’s like “u got a warrant, pig???” and Dicks like 👁️👄👁️. Duke passive-aggressively hands Dick a doughnut. And Dick doesn’t rrly get shit for being a cop/having been a cop bc most ppl assume he’s a stripper, so this is new to him.
