Merlin's assistant

Pt.2. Introductions

Merlin BBC X fem!reader

"This, my dear assistant, is king Arthur Pendragon of Camelot" Merlin introduced, and the sheer joy that showed in his smile managed to drown any posible witty remark Arthur had thought of making.

"HOLD ON A SECOND" on the other hand the loudness from the girl kind of made him wish she was once again arranging bottles in silence.

"He is Arthur Pendragon, as in the Arthur Pendragon I've heard so much about these last few years?" The smile in her face could barely contain all of her exciment, if the way she was flapping her hands up and down was any type of sign. A little bit more emotion and she would surely be jumping up and down in front of him.

Merlin eyes softened at the sight of the girl and his smile went from excited to fond rather quilckly for Arthur's liking. He had just then remembered the way she had called his friend a few moments ago.

Love.

Now, Arthur might not had been the brightest one in the room, even if he would never admit it, but if something was not up between those two then he had never been dead.

So lost he had been in his own thoughts he had missed what Merlin had to say about him. But whatever it was it certaninly reassured who he was, because she looked ready to explode.

"Oh, you have to tell me about Camelot, I've asked Merlin before but with his memory we honestly never get anywhere and all he can tell me is about how you would always get in trouble, or be cursed, or how your father would be cursed, or the kingdom, or..." somehow, the girl had managed to get all of that out of her sistem in just one breath before Merlin cut her off.

"Alright, that's enough kiddo, why don't you better go look for some clothes for our guest?"

"I'm literally your age, you old man!" She complained to the warlock but nevertheless got up anf started walking away.

"No you're not, and if you were, that would make you an old man!" Merlin quiped right back at her, raising his voice so he could be heard.

"Age doesn't change gender you dumbass!" at that point the girl's voice was just that, a voice, because she had completely dissapeared from sight. Two seconds passed in silence before she finished her statement "But apparently it does make you lose braincells!"

Merlin shot a nasty look at the door she had left through, but decided against continuing fighting, and instead chose to put his attention on the very confused king.

"Sooo, who was that exactly?" Finally asked Arthur after a while of sitting in silence.

In response Merlin grabbed a chair and sat in front of his friend, his eyes flashed golden for a second and tea started preparing itself while the warlock answered the question.

"She's my assistant, helps me with things around here and in exchange she lives here where it's peaceful" he explained at the same time a cup filled with chamomile tea landed gracefully in front of Arthur.

"Your assistant? You? Have an assistant?" The tone of the king's voice sounded almost mocking, but Merlin raised both his eyebrows at him and continued.

"I don't see what you find so funny you clotpole, I was tecnically your assistant back in the day".

Something about hearing Merlin speak about them as if they had happened a long time ago hurted deep inside Arthur's chest. His heart twisted into a knot when he realized that for Merlin, for his best friend, it had truly been long ago.

Truth to be told, the blonde king had woken up that day in the lake and had just felt as if no time had gone by, as if he had just slept for a few minutes, a few hours at most.

But it hadn't been like that for Merlin, if he had understood it right it had been hundred of years of loneliness for the magic boy, hundred of years of waiting, never really knowing if he would come back.

Suddenly the idea of the girl being around Merlin didn't sit so bad with him anymore, at least he wasn't completely alone, he hoped there had been other friends for Merlin before her too, people that could have helped him carry the load that waiting for his friend might have been.

[frecklenog]

When he manages to force his eyes open, the man grunts, wheezes, and tries to shove himself upright. The room spins. His head is pounding. His vision swims. A moan sneaks out as he shuts his eyes tight. He forces himself to sit up. Someone says something he can’t quite make out. It feels like he’s being held underwater. He can barely think. It’s almost like before, except he’s under a thick blanket, and Jake is curled up against his side, warm and soft and present, grounding him in the now.

“Daddy?”

Bonnie’s voice is small and scared. It makes his chest ache. “I’m right here, pumpkin,” he tries to say, but it comes out all slurred and garbled and wrong. He can hear his youngest hiccup and sniffle, and then her small hand is on his left arm. He bends his head to press his cheek against it. “‘S gonna be okay.” Everything hurts too much to smile, but he can still lie.

Bonnie is careful now, in a way she never is. She wraps her arms around his neck cautiously instead of throwing herself against his chest. He rubs her back and tries to open his eyes again.

“You scared us,” she whispers. She wipes her nose on her forearm and curls up in her father’s lap. “Little Destiny said you weren’t gonna wake up.”

Fuzzy memories come back into focus. Little Destiny… Big Destiny’s daughter. Jay’s… girlfriend? …Something. His oldest son had professed his love for her, and that was enough.

He wants to reassure his daughter, but the words slip between his fingers and claw, and out of reach entirely. “‘S okay,” he manages to mumble, and gives her a gentle, albeit somewhat shaky squeeze.

[fluffypotatey]

Even in an "everything's fine and nothing hurts" AU, I just know that Arthur "Disaster Bi" Pendragon manages to give his dad an ulcer because that's just how he rolls.

Arthur: Father, I'm getting married-

Uther: Excellent!

Arthur: -to Merlin of the Dragonlords.

Uther: Less excellent!

Somewhere on the Isle of the Blessed, Morgana is laughing and doesn't know why.

And Balinor is working his way through the wine cellar realising he's about to be kin-by-marriage to Uther Fucking Pendragon. (Yes, they still hate each other, but their wives are besties. They think it's adorable.)

the horror Balinor must have felt when he realised what Merlin marrying Arthur meant for him lmaoooooo

Hunith: Aren't they cute! Balinor: Yes, sweetie, very adorable. Can't wait for the wedd- Balinor: WAIT

[adhd-merlin]

unpopular opinion: arthur (as much as i like him as a character) was useless in terms of prophecy and liberation of the magic people. not just bc he never ended up lifting the magic ban but bc literally anyone sitting on the throne could have done that. i see no reason why it had to be arthur specifically. but the show liked to pretend like he was the only way to achieve a positive future bc the opprressed community cant simply help themselves that would be silly ig? no no they need to patiently wait that maybe one day their oppressor (whos literally continuing his fathers genocide even if less zealously) has a change of heart and they wont be hunted down like animals anymore. never mind the countless people that will have to die in the mean time. merlin can kill a bajillion people on screen and thats fine and for the greater good but if someone tries to kill One guy sitting on a fancy chair with a fancy hat suddenly thats too extreme. half the time it felt like the show was pointing to merlin as a poster child of how to act when oppressed. the fact that morgana growing bitter about uthers reign is framed as inherently bad and what directly lead to her becoming evil tm is particularly infuriating to me. the choice to create this very ya dystopian setting and then cast the oppressors as part of the main cast and the final solution is just very weird to me. i think it wouldve been objectively for the best if the magic community had overthrown arthur (or uther really but thats not really contested.. unless youre the bbc. this show is so british (derogatory))

in that vein: mordred has never done anything wrong in his entire life and that includes killing arthur

one more for the "arthur was a loser" folder

[ok but about the rest!! I have many thoughts about it. merlin as a member of an Oppressed Minority. his betrayal of his own kin. I'm putting it all under a cut bc you guys don't need to see me rambling about this and the disir again]

you make a good point — the way in which a story is framed, even the moment we choose as a "beginning", determines what characters we'll feel sympathy for, even when the facts at our disposal are the same.

I don't think the writers were trying to create any kind of deep social commentary btw. just so we're clear. merlin is the hero of the story and his mission is to keep arthur safe. we've got to root for them both.

to have a king with a hatred (fear) of magic gives us a convenient antagonist within the court. merlin having to defend the men that would have him killed for his magic is a great source of dramatic tension. it sort of follows that the people he has to fight against to defend the king/prince are other magic users, or magical threats. (it also keeps things interesting because there would be no challenge for merlin otherwise).

there isn't much of a point in exploring the motives and backstories of other characters with magic (with the exception of morgana, perhaps). They are only briefly touched upon — so these characters remain vaguely antagonistic for the most part. Neutrally aligned at best (see mordred).

We are shown that the druids are (mostly) aware of the prophecy that marks merlin/emrys as the saviour of their kind.

what I find fascinating are merlin's interactions with magic people who are either not aware of this prophecy (gilli) or have no faith in it (kara, possibly?) Because we're never given the chance or the time to see things from their perspective. To see merlin through their eyes.

When gilli says:

"It is time that someone struck a blow for the likes of you and me. And if you're too weak, then I will." (!!!)

It makes him sound like some kind of extremist, but really, when you think about it. isn't his anger kind of justified? I'm not condoning his violence, I'm just saying — it's understandable. uther has killed so many innocent people. literally drowned innocent children. and merlin's like "violence isn't the answer!" — and I can see his point!! but I can see gilli's just as well. and I find it so interesting that he's still addressing merlin as a brother ("the likes of you and me"), even when expressing disappointment in his actions and calling him weak. because they are the same. he's saying "you're deluded, and cozying up to the enemy won't save you"

this episode also contains what is (probably) my favourite dragon call. when merlin summons kilgharrah in other episodes, he's usually in the middle of some Urgent Situation. matters of life or death. there is nothing urgent here, really. yeah, it is arguably a matter of life or death, but nothing merlin couldn’t have stopped on his own. he really just called on kilgharrah to have a heart to heart with a friend — a member of his class.

("You are a creature of magic, and only a creature of magic could hope to understand.")

this episode is about merlin looking for kinship and still feeling isolated from his magic brethren. there's something tragic about the way the prophecy makes him unable to connect to some of the people who would be best placed to understand him.

and gilli plants a small seed of doubt in merlin's mind. "You've been pretending for so long now that you've actually forgotten who you are" (!!)

but kilgharrah reassures merlin that there's a golden age coming. so merlin does what he has to do — he saves uther once again. before gilli leaves, merlin reassures him that one day they will be free.

he tells mordred the same:

"It won't always be like this. One day we will live in freedom again."

and then, when he has the unique opportunity to use his influence on arthur to sway his opinion in the right direction. he fails.

he condemns himself, and the people he spoke to of freedom, to keep living in fear and in hiding — and what's even more upsetting, he does so while talking of a "just and fair kingdom"!

("You must protect the world you spent your life building, a just and fair kingdom for all." What an interesting choice of words. camelot isn't just and fair to all — as merlin knows well. he's lying to arthur, and possibly to himself.)

imagine being gilli or mordred and hearing him say that "there can be no place for magic in camelot." (!) What a slap in the face.

I've read meta suggesting that the disir were testing merlin just as much as arthur (or even more so than him). I'm inclined to believe it — I want to believe it. If anything because it makes the story all the more interesting and tragic. (I know what some are going to say — if mordred's destiny was to kill arthur, it would've happened anyway. but remember what else kilgharrah said — the future is never clear. there are many paths).

I understand why merlin did what he did, I really do. but for a moment, the fair and just kingdom he spoke of was within reach, and he failed to grasp it.

so was gilli wrong after all?

[and kara. I feel quite sympathetic towards her. we know arthur. she can't see him from our (merlin's) perspective. for her, he might as well be uther. magic people are still persecuted under camelot's law. she has spent her life on the run, she has seen people she loved be killed. and from our (arthur's) perspective, she looks like some kind of fanatic. but in reality. put yourself in her shoes. when arthur offers her a chance to save herself by "repenting" for her crime, she says she has nothing to repent for. "it is not a crime to fight for your freedom". that's the belief she's willing to die for. did she deserve to die for it?

(I also think there's an interesting parallel in merlin failing his kin in the disir, and arthur failing mordred in ep 5x11 by condemning kara to death. something about pinning all your hopes on someone who's going to fail you, and doom you both. idk idk.)]

I have an idea for a Mergana fic

I have this Mergana Fic idea that I probably would never write because I am lazy, but I want to share it in case someone might want to write it.

---------------------------

It takes place during Servant of Two Masters (S4xE06), just before Morgana inserts the  Fomorroh into Merlin's neck.

A young man (maybe 17 or 18) barges inside. He looks like a young version of Merlin except he has green eyes. Before anyone says anything, this man collapses instantly.

There is an awkward silence between Merlin and Morgana for a few moments before she is like, "is he your brother?" and Merlin is like, "I don't see any resemblance" but inside he is screaming, did my father have another son?

Then, she tries to wake the young man and soon came to the realization that he is drained magically, and they need to wait for him to regain consciousness on his own before asking any questions.

"Maybe he is a distant relative?" Merlin mumbles to no one, and Morgana, whose plan is momentarily put on hold, tells Merlin that she knows a way that can help unravel the mystery.

Despite Merlin's objection, Morgana performs the spell (requires a drop of blood from each man) and the result is "Parent". (There is a whole color palette that can help identify the link between two people.) But the spell doesn't specify who is the parent and who is the offspring.

Since it was not possible, Morgana decides to do the spell using her own blood, and she gets the same result as Merlin: "Parent".

"Maybe I did something wrong." She says, and they leave it at that.

Hours later, the mysterious man wakes up and he takes one look at the chained Merlin, "Is it a sexual thing?" he says, startling both Merlin and Morgana.

Morgana quickly unchains him and Merlin supplies without really thinking, "We're making sure the chains are robust."

The young man's name is William, and he was attacked and used magic to escape. He came across the hovel and was looking for a place to hide.

He claims that he has never seen Merlin before, and the latter is dying to ask if he knows Balinor. 

William tells them his life story, that his parents died and that he was raised by his uncle.

Another person bursts in shortly after. The boy's uncle.

Here is the twist.

The uncle is actually Mordred, who kidnapped William (named after his father's childhood best friend) when he was an infant and killed his mother. He was raised not knowing who his real parents were and to hate Camelot and its king and his advisor Merlin because they were the reason behind William's parents' deaths.)

Chaos erupts when it turns out the danger William was trying to evade was Mordred, and his plan was to go back in time to save his mother after learning the actual truth. But the spell was too powerful and it left him weak.

William is like, "You killed my parents." and Mordred shouts back, "Your parents are dead because of you."

Here is another twist.

William recently killed Merlin (Furture version), thinking he was avenging his parents. But in reality, the boy's mother died trying to save her son from being kidnapped, and his father, on the other hand, died at the hands of the son that he spent years searching for.

Surprise!!

The kid is acually the son of Merlin and Morgana!!

"You killed your father?" Morgana asks William, who is too crestfallen to meet her gaze.

"Like mother like son." Mordred says with a snide. 

More chaos. 

"You lied to us?" Merlin accuses, while Morgana is too stunned to speak. 

Once again, Mordred smirks and adds "Just like his father,  isn't that right, Emrys?"

Even more chaos.

Please if you like the concept, write it, I really really want to read it.

Water-deep In Love

Hi friends!! This is the introduction and prologue to my domestic!gale fanfic! This will basically be introducing my tav(the main character, besides Gale) and essentially just introducing her and Gale's relationship from the beginning until the end of the game. The first chapter will begin after the cannon epilogue, which is when i'll basically be creating and establishing what i think domestic life with Gale would be like.

Information:

Title: Water-Deep In Love (see what i did there ;D)

Pairing: Gale Dekarios x OC!Tav (Emrys)

Oc!Tav info: Her name is Emrys. She is my main tav who is currently romancing gale. She is a High Elf Paladin. Has always been interested in magic and the weave. Was outcast from her family and home when she was young, as they do not support magic and anything to go along with it. She has survived basically "couch jumping," moving from place to place in Baldurs Gate, staying with anyone who would have her. Was eventually captured by the illithid and had a tadpole inserted in her eye, against her will, obviously lol. Upon waking up on the beach by the nautiloid shipwreck, the first companion she found was Gale, a striking wizard who she found hand-first. She pulled him out of the portal and was immediately drawn to him and his gentleman-ness. Throughout their travels together, they fall more and more in love, doing every step of their journey together; and once all is done, they no longer have to live in fear of the tadpole, gale doesn't have to worry about the orb or gaining mystra's forgiveness, they can finally live in happiness, together. Finally together. Together, in love, and safe, in their own home. A home that Emrys has been longing for since she was a child, and the security that Gale has been denied for a long time. They're both finally free, together.

I will be posting the prologue later; which will basically based right after finishing everything and Gale's proposal. I am going to be staying pretty cannon for this part, but i will include some changes and some of my interpretations of this scene, adjusting his proposal a little bit for my story. I am super excited to write this fic and I hope you all will enjoy it!

Merlin's assistant

Pt 1. The first meeting

Merlin BBC x fem!reader

(platonic, at least for now)

Arthur had been confused all day long. Since the moment he had emerged from the lake and met face to face with a very old Merlin to that certain moment.

Something about having been dead for hundreds of years and then alive once again made him feel lost. But by far the most confusing thing for him had somehow been the girl in the cottage Merlin was keeping him.

He had been sitting in a chair for the last twenty minutes, and yet she had been walking all around the place moving glass bottles, while swaying her body to a rythm he clearly couldn't hear (it probably had something to do with that object that was placed above her ears he suspected). And she had not once turned around to acknowldege his presence!

The door behind him opened and Merlin came trough it, still old, and, if Arthur was honest, still wearing some very ugly clothing.

"You look very confused you clotpole, is alright though, I'll catch you up on everything in just a second" he said while laughing and giving him pats on the shoulder.

"Do we have any age potion left?" Merlin almost screamed to the girl, and finally she turned around.

Arthur had certaninly noticed her semi-long hair from behind, but the bright colours that she had on the front strands took him by surprise. Orange, blue and green staining her locks and big sun-shaped earrings dangling from her ears.

"What? Sorry, can't hear nothing over the music" she apologized as she took of the strange object from earlier away from her head.

"Age potion, I brew some the other day, is there any left?" Merlin repeated himself.

"Sure, let me just..." and once again she was rummaging through the bottles, the sound of glasses tingling against each other the only soundin the room for a few seconds.

Finally she emerged victorious, and smiley, from the shelves with a tiny bottle which had a blue cap.

"There we go, one age potion for dear Emrys, anything else love?"

"Love?" Arthur questioned out loud.

Only then did the girl seem to really notice him, her eyes going from him to Merlin snd back to him.

"Is a friendly term Arthur, don't be jealous" a very familiar voice said.

There, once again in his youthful glory stood Merlin, looking exactly as he did in his memory. Arthur felt his eyes welled up with tears, and what felt like exahustation which had accumulated over thousand of years vanidh away in a blink.

He stood up, and embraced his friend as if he had just came back from the dead and that hug alone could keep him alive forever.

For a few minutes both men stood there, hugging each other, and once they broke away a voice chimed in from behind them.

"So, do I get to know who blondie is or do I have to guess?".

[frecklenog]

damn this bitch was wholecloth just a self insert. despite this i still love them and will be coming up with new faces for them

[animeomegas]

Catboys are the best I love them so much. They are so adorable. They are also how I figured out I have a master kink💀

Oooh, yes, hehe, I agree 😏 In fact, my OC catboy Emry would be perfect for you~

n-sfw below ...

"Master," Emry mewled, wiggling his hips against the carpet, completely unsatisfied. "Help me, please?"

Emry looked like he wanted to make grabby hands towards you, something he frequently did in these moods, but your earlier rebuke had him keeping his hands by his sides. Instead, he blinked his big, watery eyes at you, tail swishing in distress behind him.

You sighed, running a hand through his hair, purposely grazing his sensitive ears as you did. Predictably, Emry purred like a motor the instant you made contact with him, but that wasn't going to be enough to convince you.

"Did you help me when you deleted an important email yesterday?" you asked, raising an eyebrow and removing the hand from his hair. "You selfishly decided that my meeting wasn't as important as us watching a film together, even though we could have easily postponed it."

Emry huffed, pouting and crossing his arms, "You promised you would!"

You gave his collar a quick tug to silence him, "I promised I would if no work came up. Deleting my work email was incredibly naughty. Which is why I'm punishing you."

Emry suddenly looked delighted before switching his face into something more coy. "Are you going to punish me, master?" He ground his obvious erection into the floor, moving his hips in tight circles. "I've been bad, right?"

You have." You smiled and tilted your head at him. "Which is why you're going to watch me pleasure Esra who's been a very good boy recently, and then I'm going to send you to bed, alone."

Emry's coy smile dropped immediately, "Master! No, please, I want you to help me. It hurts." He reached out with his hands, perhaps to implore you to touch him, but a stern glance had them falling back down once more. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again!"

You tuned out the next minute of his tantrum until he had quieted down.

"If you're finished, go and get Esra, if you wouldn't mind, he knows you're coming." You had obviously received Esra's permission before having him take part in Emry's punishment, and you wouldn't be surprised if he was waiting just behind the living room door for you.

Emry pouted by neither replied nor moved to fetch Esra.

"Emry," you said, a warning clear in your voice. He didn't move. "If you aren't up in three second, I'll have Esra watch you get a spanking too."

Emry huffed, looking very close to hissing at you, tail swishing angrily, but the threat seemed to work because he stood up and wrenched open the living room door.

"So you do know how to behave."

He actually did hiss at you this time, but amused, you let it slide; his punishment was already more than enough for the poor kitty.

(lol, I hope you don't mind me shamelessly inserting my OC like that 😅)
