ELYAN FEST 2024 PROMPTS

Just to reiterate: There are NO content bans or minimum/maximum requirements. All dynamics/ratings/whatever are welcome but your creation MUST be Elyan-centric.

When you are ready to post your work, feel free to add it to the collection on Ao3! If you don't have an Ao3 account that's totally fine! Please post your work here on Tumblr and tag the blog directly or with the tag #ELYANFEST2024 within the first 5 tags.

You can submit more than text/audio works to the collection! Ao3 is an archive meaning it is capable of holding all types of media including art and gifs if you would still like to submit your work there.

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could include which prompts you're filling in your post/on ao3 so I can make sure to put your work in the correct group on the masterpost.

Please remember that these prompts are merely a suggestion and not a requirement. Please use these as you see fit and if you have an idea that doesn't apply to any of them, go for it!

Prompts follow this pattern: Single Word ✯ Dialogue ✯ Setting or Trope

Day 1: Collide ✯ "Stop coming back" ✯ Historical Day 2: Embody ✯ "We were always a good team. And we could still be one." ✯ Illness/Injury Day 3: Bar ✯ "Hungry dogs are never loyal" ✯ Arranged Marriage Day 4: Peach ✯ "Alright, here's the plan" ✯ Educational Institution Day 5: Photograph ✯ "What was I supposed to do" ✯ Restaurant/Cafe Day 6: Eclipse ✯ "You here to finish me off, sweetheart?" ✯ Trapped Together Day 7: Free Day

If you have any questions please reach out! I want this event to be as fun and welcoming as possible and would hate for anyone to miss out due to a misunderstanding.

*merlins magic gets exposed in front of the knights*

merlin, magic user: oh fuck

arthur, finally taking this opportunity to pretend as if he just found out merlin has magic after agonizing for the past month on how to bring it up: you have magic?

lancelot, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic: no! i have magic

gwaine, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic, lover of chaos, ride or die: no, i have magic!

mordred, desperate for his hero’s approval bc no matter what he’s done emrys just stares at him with distrust and the poor boy is tired and so close to tears: no…i have magic.

percival, raised by druids and bonded strongly with mordred over that and does Not agree with the persecution of magic in camelot, had an inkling that merlin had magic but no proof: no. i have magic.

*leon and elyan exchange a look, elyan, amused and leon, exhausted, elyan shrugs*

elyan, knows how much gwen adores merlin and completely understands her stance bc merlin…is merlin, down to clown and put on a show, really playing up the dramatics: no! i have magic.

leon, exhausted, has known of merlin’s magic since he stepped foot in camelot, knows of his feelings for arthur and arthur’s feelings for him, knows arthur knows of merlin’s magic and wouldn’t harm him, thinks everyone is being absolutely ridiculous:

*the knights stare hard at leon and even merlin looks slightly offended at leon not jumping to his defense with the rest of the knights, arthur hasn’t said anything and is staring at leon expectantly*

leon, sighing: …no. i have magic.

Sir Elyan

This took me 21.5 hours I hope you like it 🥲 I'm never drawing chain mail again

[lesbicosmos]

there's an obvious answer

[that-nerd-who-writes-fanfiction]

Arthur: Be myself? Leon, I have one night to win over Hunith. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?

Lancelot: Couple weeks.

Elyan: Six months.

Gwaine: Jury’s still out.

Arthur: See, Leon? ‘Be myself’ what kind of garbage advice is that? First impressions are everything and I’m not Merlin!

—

Bonus! Meanwhile, riding back to Camelot from Ealdor:

Merlin: I know you’re already planning on asking him to call you mum, but give it at least an hour after dinner. Just so it’s not too rushed or anything.

Hunith: Merlin, I’ve already met him. I knew you’d be wonderful together ten years before you did. And when it took you this long to confess, I don’t think rushing is something you’ll ever have to worry about.

[lalluviadeanoche]

Merlin *on four hrs of sleep for the past week, dirty from a fight, definitely has a concussion and at least two untreated injuries, one of which he’s bleeding out from, leans over on someone’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!

Arthur *still blushing from Merlin leaning on him and is now very confused w his emotions*: YOU HAVE MAGIC?!

Merlin: oh… sorry.

Merlin *moves to Lancelot’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!

Arthur: I can still hear you!! You’re right next to me and you’re yelling!!

The knights:… you didn’t know??

[escespace]

Gwaine: Man, I'm fed up with these two, we have to do something.

Elyan: What are you talking about?

Gwaine: Arthur and Merlin and their stupid desperate flirting

Elyan: What? Flirting?

Gwaine: Are you blind?!!! Of course they flirt. If not, what would you call that?

Gwaine: *turns elyan's face to where Merlin and Arthur are being separated by Lance and Leon while they yell at each other*

Elyan: Social incompetence?

[pyjamacryptid]

Knights will be Knights. You know how it is.

The photo that prompted this whole thing is under the cut, in all its glory.

[gazpachoandbooks]

Currently imagining Arthur + Gwen + the knights asking someone (maybe druids?) who this famous "Emrys" is and they proceed to do a version of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" while Arthur, Gwen and the knights grow increasingly more distressed with each line and Merlin hyperventilates in the background

that one deleted scene where merlin compliments percival and arthur takes him down, then merlin compliments gwaine and arthur takes him down, the merlin insinuates they’re letting him win so arthur challenges elyan and wins. merlin laughs after arthur stomps away and then lancelot comes over to chide him and complain and merlin laughs and says that arthur is just so predictable. out of the corner of his eye he can see the king returning so he flutters his eyelashes and places his hands on lancelot’s arms to squeeze his muscles and goes “and you’re all big, strong men. i’m sure you can take it” lancelot stares, confused, but can’t say anything before arthur plows right through them and grabs a weapon before dragging lancelot onto the field with him. lancelot turns to look over his shoulder with a betrayed look and merlin just waves back with a grin. arthur wins. leon sighs tiredly from beside merlin, scaring him bc he didn’t see the knight make his way over to him. leon doesn’t say anything but just gives merlin his Disappointed Mom stare and merlin mutters an apology

[morganadeservedbetter]

Elyan: Do you love Merlin? Arthur: Yeah, I do. Elyan: I told you I knew it! You owe me 100 coins! Gwaine: We all love Merlin. You should've asked if he was IN love with them. Arthur: I thought that was implied. Gwaine: … Elyan: … Arthur, looking straight at Gwaine: Congrats Elyan, you just won 100 coins.

Merlin would cut the Knights apples into slices and at first the knights would tell him he didn’t need to do that but now they’ve forgotten how to eat an apple normally

[amariram]

Merlin: I am Emrys. I am darkness. I am power. I am your worst nightmare. I could kill a man in more ways than you can imagine. I am the night. The fury. I am-

Gwaine: A doll.

Lancelot: A cinnamon roll.

Leon: A sweetheart.

Percival: A sunshine.

Elyan: A cupcake.

Arthur: The love of my life.

Merlin: ...

Also Merlin staring at Arthur: ... wait what?

[that-nerd-who-writes-fanfiction]

Leon: I keep a picture of all of us in my wallet. Whenever I face difficulties, I take it out and stare at the picture.

The Knights: Awwww-

Leon: And I tell myself "If I can deal with these dumbasses, then I can deal with anything."

The knights: Oh.
