MERTHUR (Reunited)

Problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit

Bad habits hard to break when I'm with you

Yeah, I know, I could do it on my own

But I want that real full-moon black magic, and it takes two

Problematic

Problem is when I'm with you, I'm an addict

And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth

Can't see the forest through the trees

Got me down on my knees, darlin' please, oh

I lose control

When you're not next to me (when you're not here with me)

I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?

I lose control

When you're not next to me, mm-hm

Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby

You make a mess of me, yeah

[thedragonkinproject]

Sajiad è il primo personaggio che io abbia creato all'interno del mio Dragonkin AU, e forse il mio primo vero OC in assoluto. Sarà il primo amico di Merlin nella sua nuova avventura.

Razza: Drago

Poteri: essendo un drago, è intimamente legato alla magia. Sebbene preferisca di più lo scontro fisico, le sue affinità sono verso la magia elementale, in particolare l'elemento della terra.

Carattere: allegro, giocoso, feroce, irascibile, focoso, generoso, testardo, avventuroso. È una testa calda, ma ha una forte morale ed è ferocemente attaccato alla sua famiglia, sia quella di sangue che quella adottata.

The truth comes out—and Merlin doesn't end up on the pyre! Perhaps there is anger, a heated conversation or some temporary distrust, but ultimately all goes well. Perhaps we even get a glimpse of what a Golden Age might look like?

⚬ a drop of truth by WinglessCrows, 6k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/15636450 summary: Arthur has a truth serum, Merlin lies more than he tells the truth. Who else would Arthur use it on?

⚬ Allow One To ‘See’ by mollrach13, 30k, unrated https://archiveofourown.org/works/16729350 summary: When the King is attacked in his tent on patrol and falls into an unending sleep everyone is worried. What they don't know is that Arthur is fine. In fact he is standing right here next to them, watching them all fret over his prone body. To stave off the boredom whilst a cure is found Arthur takes to wandering the castle and soon discovered a hidden side of Camelot he never knew about.

⚬ Truths Emerge by s0mmerspr0ssen, 22k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/52211941 summary: When Caerleon attacks Camelot, more than one secret is uncovered. In the face of a hopeless battle, will Arthur make the right choice?

⚬ Crown of Light by s0mmerspr0ssen, 3k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/42482379 summary: About four weeks after he had married Gwen, Arthur awoke with a strange, golden light around his head. Naturally, it freaked Merlin out.

⚬ darkest before dawn by merlinemrys, 1k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/48216928 summary: Arthur: I never knew my mother because of it. My father died because of it. I lost my sister to it. So tell me, Merlin, what has magic ever done for me? Merlin: What haven't I done for you? – In the hours before Mordred's execution for using sorcery to save Arthur, Merlin finally snaps.

⚬ I’d Die For You by Fulgance, 4k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/934552 summary: "You know I'd die for you, yeah?" – "It certainly looks like we're headed that way," Arthur says dryly.

⚬ The Reveal byArgentNoelle, 1k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/6645151 summary: How long, Merlin wondered, had Arthur known? He hadn’t seemed surprised at all.

⚬ How Water by LadyAJ_13, 3k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/20817572 summary: Leon shuffles, a move so unlike him that Arthur is immediately concerned. “It's about Merlin, sire.” He wonders what he's done now. Something stupid no doubt, insulted a noblewoman or broken something valuable. A day in the stocks might be required to make the aggrieved party happy. But then, that's not unusual enough for his most capable knight to be fiddling with his sword scabbard. “I believe he has magic.”

⚬ Just a Hint of Magic by Drag0nst0rm, 1k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/28462047 summary: The thing was, most sorcerers didn't know enough spells to actually put up much of a fight. So when Arthur first noticed Merlin had magic, he wasn't too worried about it.

⚬ The Truths He Can’t Deny by N16, 10k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/33923860 summary: Merlin had always known this day would come. An innocent girl. An arrest for sorcery. Except now it's Arthur sitting on the throne in judgment, not Uther. It was always going to happen, but it wasn't supposed to happen like this.

⚬ Treason by N16, 10k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/27763306 summary: Arthur knows four things: Merlin committed treason. Merlin is loyal to him. Merlin wants to tell Arthur the truth. Merlin is scared Arthur will kill him. All he needs to figure out now is what on earth his servant has actually done.

⚬ Greater Love Hath No Man by N16, 8k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/37562236 summary: Once upon a time, Merlin had been so in love with Gwen that he'd confessed to sorcery to save her from the pyre. That moment seemed like a million years and a million lies ago. But that one lie was a loose thread, and now one tug might unravel Merlin's entire tapestry of deceit. Fortunately, Merlin can always count on Gwen.

⚬ A Scar Like a Vision of Grace by nsowlwrites97, VikingSong, 3k, rated T http://archiveofourown.org/works/56321101 summary: “Please,” Arthur tried. “Let him go. If you want the book–”The man holding the sword to Merlin’s neck smirked. “Oh, that? That’s just a bonus. No, king. We’re here for this.” And without another word, he slid the sword across Merlin’s throat.

⚬ The Hand of the Enemy by N16, 45k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/27567688 summary: When Arthur accepts an invitation to a nearby kingdom where magic is free, he hopes to establish an alliance despite their differences. Instead, he and his knights find they’ve been invited under false pretenses, and the queen may succeed in turning friend against friend to accomplish her own aims.

⚬ Who I’ve Been by TheActualAuthor, 3k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/41350509 summary: Arthur glances at him, but doesn’t stop to reprimand, “I told him I didn’t know what he meant. Then he spoke of many things. Said I was a figure of prophecy and legend.” His voice twists around the words, mocking them, “Said I was to rule all Albion. I was about to call him out as some sort of sorcerer’s trick, trying to trap me into oaths or pride, when he began to speak of another. A man I knew well, supposedly, who walked in my inner circle.” The king takes a sharp breath and raps his knuckles on the table, making Merlin jerk his head up, “I have little doubt he meant those who stood with me at the table. When the others come, I am going to eat with them, my men and my favored. And when we are done, I will speak to them of this, and I will know who has been lying to me all this time.”

⚬ Stains Unseen by reelin_writer, 2k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/33212869 summary: During the routine bandit ambush, Gwaine is mortally wounded. Merlin saves him with magic, and instead of exploding at the reveal, Arthur is overcome with guilt. Merlin has been dealing with the trauma of taking a life--alone. Nothing, not even the new powers Merlin has, can keep Arthur from wanting to protect the younger man.

⚬ Behind Me, Beside You by TheActualAuthor, 3k, rated G https://archiveofourown.org/works/37246459 summary: Arthur glares at him, “I have no love for magic, they will not help me.” His eyes narrow, “How do you know the way to their camps? We’ve been searching for their borders for years.” “I have friends among them.” He hedges. The king stares at him a moment, then sits down with a weary air, “So you also have betrayed me.”

⚬ A Moment of Truth by sakarrie, 5k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/35432824 summary: Even though Merlin knows it's finally time to tell Arthur the truth, he can't stop his hands from shaking. He knows being a sorcerer is a death sentence, yet here he is—about to tell the King of Camelot. But Arthur deserves to know, and Merlin can't keep hiding from his best friend.

⚬ Stay by wryter501, 13k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/39378669 summary: A different direction for episode 4.7 "The Secret Sharer". Alator goes to Camelot not to find Emrys for Morgana, but with another plan in mind... Why has Emrys failed so long in his prophetic task of restoring magic to Camelot, in guiding and instructing Arthur Pendragon, the Once and Future King? Fate seems to have handed Alator the chance to right the course of history gone awry - and he's going to take it. He's going to use Gaius to find Emrys - and then they're going to have a serious conversation. But even the best-laid plans of a canny warrior-sorcerer can be diverted... Alator finds more than he anticipated, plotting ambush in iron mines of Kemeray...

⚬ The Serving of Servants by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle, 80k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/20239129 summary: When a new position is made in the royal household to oversee the servants, Arthur didn’t think much of it. It was only days later when he noticed the mysterious injuries appearing on frightened servants that the prince decided to go undercover and to find out what is going on. Meanwhile, Merlin thinks the newest servant is a mess. Or: Arthur learns what it is like to be a servant and learns some interesting thing about his own servant.

⚬ Golden Is The Dawn by TrekScribbles, 9k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/54962341 summary: When Arthur finds out that Merlin is hiding a baby dragon, he devises a plan to get rid of it. But when Merlin is captured by a band of slavers, the dragon might be Arthur's only hope of getting him back.

⚬ Faithful Are The Wounds of a Friend by VikingSong, 5k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/33734425 summary: Arthur catches sight of a scar on Merlin’s back which he can’t explain, so he asks each of the members of the Round Table if they’ve seen it, too. They have...but it wasn’t the same scar.

⚬ Curiouser and Curiouser by VikingSong, 12k, rated T https://archiveofourown.org/works/28588263 summary: Gwen knew Merlin wasn’t in the tavern each time Arthur thought he was...but it was Merlin, so she’d never worried about her friend’s harmless lies of omission. That is, she'd never worried until the day Merlin disappeared to ‘the tavern’ with a freshly-paralyzed fomorroh still lodged in his neck. With the threat of the dormant serpent hanging over their heads, suddenly those lies didn't seem so harmless anymore. Or: Gwen is the primary keeper of the one (1) brain cell in Camelot, which she wields to great effect in missing-scenes-turned-canon-divergence in 4x06, "A Servant of Two Masters."

[aro-tarot]

Drew and then painted a picture of Merlin to try out the new watercolors that I got!

Because coupons, I got two Qor Mini Watercolor Palettes, the Intensity palette and Urban palette. For this painting, I used all but Dioxozine Purple and Phthalo Turquoise from the former and then Van Dyke Brown from the latter. The colors from the Intensity palette were still able to easily look soft, and it was fun to play with a new palette and brand of watercolors. Though I wish I could find my main paintbrush. It’s not on my art table 😅

[hp-and-merlin-fics]

“You’re telling me,” says Arthur slowly, “when you come into my chambers to wake me up with that insufferable cheer, it’s because this gave you the energy?”

[h50europe]

Colour the empty space Kiss in a crowded place Stand in the summer rain Tangled in awkward shapes A new, but familiar taste You're feeling it all again

It's not wrong To want the world for someone It's not a feeling you can run from 'Cause we love who we love So let go You don't know better than your heart knows Whether they're here or long gone We love who we love Yeah, we love who we love

(sam smith, ed sheeran - we love who we love)

Writing Patterns

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Thank you so much for tagging me @merlinemrys <3

I'm going to ignore drabbles/ficlets for this because I already know they have a pattern in the way that every single line just matters so much and I overthink them even more than the "normal" first lines lmao. That aside, I definitely like to jump right in, and would probably do making some of them a little punchier (the eternal, i cannot be concise to save my life fun times. sigh)

It’s supposed to be a simple deal. [Renegades, stranger things/steddie]

When the messenger relays that Gaius requests his presence, Arthur briefly contemplates ignoring the summon. [like there's hope in this story, bbc merlin/merthur]

When it comes right down to it, it's all Gimli's fault, at least if anyone were to ask Aragorn. [deep down rivers (I'll follow you), lotr/aralas]

I understand why you wouldn't have told me; you owe me a great many explanations, but I understand. [Crooked Trajectory, bbc merlin/merthur]

Merlin isn’t actually sure how it starts. [all the city lights on the water, bbc merlin/merthur]

Arthur comes to with the unsettling feeling of having been woken too soon. [watch all my bridges burn, bbc merlin/merthur]

It is a surprise to exactly no one when the first of their friends to get married are Leon and Mithian. [So Take Me Somewhere, bbc merlin/merthur]

It starts, as things in Eddie’s life often do, with him not thinking shit through. [Eat Your Heart Out, stranger things/steddie]

“God, I used to have such a crush on you,” Eddie says, all casual. [reeling through the midnight streets, stranger things/steddie]

Traditions, Merlin comes to understand early on, are a consistent thread in the tapestry that is Camelot. [darkness in the distance, bbc merlin/merthur]

No pressure tagging: @idlestories @emryses @thefollow-spot @prattery @conkers-thecosy @m-b-w @atlantablack and anyone else who'd like to, just say I tagged you! <3
