#merlin as Harry is

[springs-hurts]

Honestly, listen to me, hp- Merlin crossover would be so much more funny if Merlin reincarnated as Draco and Harry as Arthur...

Like fucking imagine how funny it'd be when they'd remember their prev life😭😭 imagine the horror🤣🤣

Fuck why I'm not a good writer I'd have loved to write it🥲

Listen, I'm not the type to look for homoeroticism in every single male duo in media. Not everyone swings that way.

But those two?

I smell the fruitiest of fruit, your honor.

just remembered a fic on AO3 (or more likely LJ because it had that distinct late 00's experimental vibe) that appeared double-spaced oddly, in that some paragraphs would be spaced normally and others would have double or even triple spaces in between. it was about one half of the otp getting over the other's death (or coma, can't remember which), so all the comments were about how poignant the use of visual spacing was as a means to convey all the emotional holes in the character's life.

and then the author replied like... *giggle* guys it's NOT double spaced. try selecting the whole text

and we were all like "no WAY"

but we selected the text, and yes!!!

the "holes" in the story? they were actually lines and actions from the dead/coma character's ghost, rendered invisible to the eye by the simple trick of coloring the text the exact same as the background, revealed by nothing more than a click and a drag of the mouse

a story about the profound loneliness of losing your the partner of your life and having to make do without them, without anything to fill the holes they'd left behind, suddenly became a story about the profound helplessness of seeing someone you love suffer from your absence while you are right there, unable to do anything about it, unable to communicate that you love them enough to suffer unseen and unheard with them, just to keep them company they'll never know about

it was then that I truly realized how *superior* the digital medium is to plain printed paper, how the medium and the format can add to a story.

I think about that fic about once a year. I wish I could find it again

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!! UPDATE HERE

I'm sifting thru fics like it’s 1848 and I'm panning for gold in the river

Sometimes I'll be reading my gay little fanfictions, and get to a really sweet and fluffy scene and can't help but whisper to myself, "damn, that's hella gay".

[inkyself]

How you people watch a show but are not in the fandom is wild to me, like wdym you can consume a piece of media without it consuming yourself? You guys don’t obsess to the point of madness over those fictional people? Just me?

Yk people always say “I was born in the wrong generation etc etc.”

But what about those of us who were born in the wrong universe. Now I’m not talking like “oh I hate this world boo hoo…” I’m talking dragons.

I was meant for a world with magic and gods and fairies and nymphs and mermaids and dragons WHERE THE HELL ARE MY DRAGONS!?!?!?

HogwartsAU

Arthur, England sovereigns’ half-blood son, is a 2nd-year student (Ygraine is alive (and the witch obviously), so Uther is happy and doesn’t want to kill anyone), while Merlin has just arrived at Hogwarts.

It’s hate at first sight. Mostly because of their Houses’ rivalry. But also because of their first, disastrous encounter.

It won’t last though, and they’ll soon become the most iconic and inseparable duo in Hogwarts.

(Arthur proposes to Merlin as soon as he graduates. So suck it. Happy ending!)

JUST A BET.

pairings: theodore nott x fem!gryffindor!reader.

warnings: not proof read and written a while ago so probably some cringe content.

in which you find out the truth about your relationship.

when theodore nott, the hottest slytherin and playboy at hogwarts, first asked you out, both you and your friends were shocked and thought it was simply a joke.

however, when he continued to ask you out until you finally caved and agreed, you started to think he was being genuine about his feelings.

you, surprisingly, enjoyed your first date with him. one date became multiple dates, then multiple dates became a relationship that everyone talked about.

constant teasing from other students never got in the way of your relationship with the boy, as he always shut your doubts down immediately.

even though he tried his best, your doubts still crept into your mind once and a while.

you entered the greenhouse and stood next to your best friend, hermione.

“hello.” she turned to you with a huge smile on her face.

“hey.” you glanced down at the plant in her hands, “pretty plant.”

she rolled her eyes, “y/n, you should know what plant this is.”

hermione continued talking at you, but a certain conversation happening behind you caught your attention.

“yeah, you should ask him out, definitely. he’d probably say yes. you know his girlfriend? yeah, well, draco and i were hanging out and everyone was drunk and he told me something super weird.” you’d recognize that voice anytime. pansy, a girl that’s part of theo’s slytherin group. “don’t tell anyone, theo would kill us all, but like, draco told me mattheo and lorenzo paid theo to ask her out and he’s still going along with it, i guess. i feel bad for her, though, she’s actually nice.” pansy continued gossiping.

you felt your heart sink. you’ve grown used to hearing cruel rumours about you and theodore, but this was coming from pansy, who’s never told a lie, even though she gossiped often.

“y/n?” hermione snapped you back to reality.

“i’m not feeling too proper, i think i had too many pastries at breakfast.” you forced a laugh, “cover for me, please, i’m going up to the dorm.”

before hermione could protest, you grabbed your bag and headed back towards the castle, leaving your fellow classmates confused.

you could feel your eyes watering and focused on making it to your bed without anyone seeing your current state.

however, your plans failed when you heard a voice call after you.

“y/n!” theodore yelled from down the corridor. the sound of his voice only motivated you to walk faster. “wait!”

you inhaled sharply and bit down your lip to hold back any tears.

“what’s wrong? why aren’t you in class?” he managed to catch up you. theodore grabbed your wrist and spun you around to face him. “are you alright? i was on my way to the bathroom and noticed you. you’re supposed to be in the greenhouse, aren’t you?”

you contemplated all the cruel things you could say to him, yet nothing came out, except a shaky exhale.

“hello? earth to y/n?” he laughed, flashing you his usual smile that you used to melt over.

“i have to ask you something.” you mumbled.

“what?”

you looked up at him with a straight face, “are you only going out with me because your friends paid you?” you were blunt and asked him the big question immediately.

“what?” the look in his eyes gave everything away. it wasn’t shame or guilt, it was realization and shock, only because he got caught.

“you’re a fucking dickhead.” you scoffed. you couldn’t listen to him plead, but you also couldn’t stand there and beg for answers and an explanation. you wriggled you wrist out of his grasp and started walking away.

“it’s not like that, okay?” he stopped you again, standing in front of you this time.

“get out of my way.” you sighed.

“you’re really giving up? you’re not even going to hear me out? for merlin’s sake, you’re being ridiculous. who even told you? was it lorenzo?” he spat out his friend’s name with venom.

“it doesn’t matter who fucking told me! i can’t believe you’re calling me ridiculous right now! i’m not giving up, i’m having some self respect, something you clearly don’t have considering you were willing to go out with someone for some money.”

he clenched his jaw in anger. “look, it started off as a stupid bet. nobody thought you’d agree, we thought you’d never go out with anyone, you seemed closed off, i said otherwise and i was right because you’re genuinely the kindest person i’ve met. it became serious after the first date and it wasn’t a bet anymore! i promise.”

“it doesn’t matter if it isn’t a bet now, it was one originally! that’s a vile thing to do to someone!” you yelled.

“i know, i know, and i am so sorry.” he huffed, “just, please, i really like you.”

“i liked you too.” you paused and his expression dropped.

“liked?”

“this isn’t going to work, i refuse to be a pawn in the weird games you and your friends entertain. i am a real fucking person, theo, not some dating experiment.”

before he could say more, you finally walked away from him and towards the moving stairs.
