Angel Coulby as Guinevere in Merlin s2 (x9)

[destiny-in-the-universe]

I never thought I’d be writing for either of these two fandoms, but imagine my surprise when I discovered the prompt in Whumptober and I just had to. Both of them were comfort fandoms, and well, sometimes you don’t ever truly leave them.

The first in this is Merlin! Yes, the BBC version - it was a complete let-down when we got to the end, only to discover the series had been cancelled. I was screaming, and so in retaliation, I had created my own series 6 because I needed to come up with my conclusion. As part of the universe, I had come up with a little storyline where the Camelot folk would end up in a quaint, magical town within Maine… but unfortunately life happened, and I had to abandon it.

… until now, that is.

The arc is small, and I might consider working on the true series 6 as a larger project later, but we’ll talk about that in another post! For now, let’s get right to it, yes?

DRUMROLL PLEASE!

For those who aren’t aware, the magical town in Maine is in fact, none other than Storybrooke!

I’ve had this idea for several years now, and just couldn’t resist the temptations. Merlin and OUAT is such a perfect combination, and much better than the other Merlin cast used in the series because holy cow, from what I remember, it was awful. Hence why this is about BBC Merlin.

Though I’m sure you’re curious as to what I’m cooking, so… now let’s officially bring a little magic back!

Plot/Summary

Storybrooke’s curse has broken, but with it comes a new age of magic… and hope. In a distant town, a certain sorcerer feels something big is on the horizon, and well, who knows what might happen now?

In other words, Merlin’s connected somehow to the magic of Storybrooke and in impromptu trip leads him and his coven, that is to say, his friends to uncover a world beyond their imagination.

🫂 for arthur, 👽 for guinevere and 📓 for lancelot?

🫂Headcanon about Arthur’s friendships:

Arthur’s beloved but not many get to liking him. He’s an ideal, a symbol, godlike in such a way that the majority of people revere him and it puts up a wall that’s very difficult to surmount and develop close friendships. There are of course exceptions: Kay, who will always be Arthur’s no-nonsense big bro; Guinevere similarly, who always tells Arthur exactly what’s on her mind whether he likes it or not; Gawain and Yvain/Owain could fall here too, although they’re young enough to somewhat revere Arthur, there’s real trust there; last but not least is Lancelot who, again, worships Arthur, but there’s a mutual understanding which many of Arthur’s other relationships lack, and that makes them very close.

👽Headcanon about Guinevere’s weird quirk:

Guinevere was raised in nobility, a pampered princess. but she’s perceptive. Maybe it’s her giant ancestry, maybe she’s just got the same special something which makes Arthur and Lancelot so good at what they do, but she puts it to great effect while at her seat of the Round Table. She’s not easily intimidated, she can sniff out her “opponent’s” weakness quicker than they can formulate a rebuttal. She’s informed and lethal. It makes her a trusted ally and even friend of Kay. Gawain refers to her as “politicking assassin.” He also has this ability, but Guinevere’s a natural. She unnerves people. Mrs. Pendragon has claws and knows how to use them.

📓Headcanon about Lancelot’s hobbies:

Lancelot loves long horseback rides with no destination. Usually in accompaniment with someone—Arthur, Guinevere, his kinsmen, Gawain, Gareth. It suits him best when adventure finds him, he just has to be in the right place for it. He doesn’t wait around for people to come knocking on Camelot’s door. He searches for the call for aid. Aside from that, he does love a good game of chess with Guinevere. Arthur can play too but it’s like facing an apprentice, the King’s just not a real challenge. Lancelot should probably be letting him win (the way Owain does) but the Queen’s Champion has never been very good at social cues…

Emails and Interludes (Arthur Pendragon x M!Reader)

Pairing: Dom CEO Arthur Pendragon x Sub Cis Male Employee Reader Rating: Explicit Words: 1395 POV: Second Summary: You CEO has control over your vibrating buttplug and since he is the boss, he gets to play with it whenever the fuck he wants. Note: For the prompt ‘vibrator’.  See my kinktober 2022 masterlist here.  Tags: bluetooth sex toys, modern AU, CEO AU, buttplugs, dom/sub, humiliation kink (?), pain play, degradation kink, etablished relationship, safe sane and consensual, little bit of crying and aftercare

You had been answering emails for the better part of two hours, when something suddenly started buzzing. It was not your phone. You cleared your throat and leaned your elbow on the desk, hiding half your face with your hand on your chin, trying to disguise that the vibrating butt plug you had in just came to life, while you were in your cubicle at the office. 

With one hand you unlocked your phone, checking if you missed any messages from your boyfriend. However, it seemed he just decided to play with you without any notice. You squeezed your thighs together, hoping your cock would not get too excited. 

What started out as a gentle vibration, grew to an intense stimulation of your prostate. You bit your lip and hit your face with your hands, trying to make it look like a headache. “Sir, are you okay?” You looked up to see one of the interns leaning against your desk, looking worried. Guinevere was such a sweet girl, but you really did not need her kindness right now. 

You nodded your head. “Yeah, just a bit of a headache.” She put the pile of papers she had been holding onto your desk and put a hand on your forehead. You did not protest, putting all your energy into keeping a straight face. 

“You’re not heating up. Do you want paracetamol? I always keep some in my bag.” You nodded your head again and watched her scurry off with her papers. You let go of the breath you had been holding and a few seconds later the vibrations died down. Then your phone started buzzing too. You let out a relieved chuckle, when you saw who texted you. Mr. CEO Pendragon himself texted you to go up to his office. 

You left before Guinevere could return with her painkillers. The walk up to the elevator felt awkward. You were just thankful for an empty elevator up to the top floor. Merlin sat at his desk outside Arthur’s office. He was on the phone telling someone to not-so-kindly fuck off. He gave you a nod of acknowledgement and a thumb to signal that Arthur was not occupied. You knew that. Otherwise he would not have started playing with your buttplug. 

You knocked on the door, before entering the huge office. Arthur sat at his desk, pretending to be typing something important. You could tell by how quickly he was hitting the keys. Usually, he was slow as molasses. The highrise windows behind him were covered with the white drapes that allowed the daylight to enter, without allowing anyone to see what Mr. Pendragon and one of his employees were up to. “Hope I am not disturbing you, Mr. Pendragon… sir,” you mused, while you sauntered over to the leather couch in his office and lied down on your stomach. 

Arthur did not look directly at you. “In fact, you are,” he said, casually grabbing his phone. You squirmed in anticipation. “I will be with you in a moment.” And just as he finished his sentence, you felt the medium vibrations inside you. You moaned and stretched your body over the couch, trying to entice your boss boyfriend into giving you his full attention right now. 

You unbuckled your belt and loosened your pants. You shamelessly reached into your underwear to stroke your hardening cock. You closed your eyes and made yourself comfortable, touching yourself as if you were in your own bed at home. A few overexagurated moans later, you heard Arthur get up, but you pretended like you did not. It was only a matter of seconds until your hand was roughly pulled away from your cock. You opened your eyes to meet Arthur’s hard gaze. “What do you think you’re doing?” He leered. 

You smirked up at him. “Waiting for you, sir. I thought you were busy,” you teased, a shit-eating grin on your face. Arthur was not impressed. He twisted your arm and lifted you to your knees. Your chest moved along with your heavy breaths as you waited in anticipation. You looked over your shoulder at Arthur, who seemed to enjoy your predicament. 

You stayed like that for a moment, hand twisted behind your back, on your knees on the couch with your pants unzipped. “Get undressed,” Arthur demanded, before letting you go. Once you had regained full control of your body, you made hasty work of ridding yourself of your clothes. You then kneeled on the patterned carpet between the couch and the glass coffee table. 

You put your hands on the back of your head and stretched your back, making sure you looked just how he preferred you. However, keeping a straight back was hard, when Arthur set the vibrator inside you to its maximum setting. You moaned, cock weeping between your legs. You could feel the precum dripping down your length. You looked over at the desk, where the CEO was leaning against his desk, phone in hand and eyes glued onto your trembling body. 

“Please, mercy!” You eventually cried out when you could no longer hold your position and doubled over. You dug your fingers into the carpet, your hips thrusting into the air against your will. Arthur’s expensive leather shoes made a clear sound as they stepped over the marble floor towards you. The sound stopped when he reached the carpet. 

You could no longer hear his steps, so it was quite the surprise when you were suddenly grabbed by the hair. “This is what you get for being a whore in my office,” Arthur snarled as he pulled at your hair until you were on your back on the carpet. He straightened his back and his leather shoe came to rest at the base of your cock. You cried out in surprise as the pain shot through your body. 

“Aren’t you ashamed of how needy you are?” You whimpered, unsure what he wanted to hear from you. He shifted his foot and increased the pressure, his heel digging into your balls, while the rest of his foot squished your cock between his shoe and your stomach. “You like this, don’t you? Say it!” 

“I love it!” You started sobbing, the vibrations inside you and the pain driving you crazy. It was all pain of the most exquisite kind. “I’m your dumb whore, please let me cum.” Through your tears, you could see how pleased your boyfriend was with you. He moved his foot back and forth, painfully massaging your cock. 

Arthur scoffed at you. “You’re pathetic.” The pressure increased. You were sobbing in pleasure and pain. “Cum then. You’re such a painslut. Show me that you’re at least a well-trained one.”

You closed your eyes, moaning, sobbing and gasping as your weeping cock shot cum all over your chest. Arthur did not lift his shoe off your cock, until you were milked dry. The vibrations inside you slowly decreased to a full stop and you were left a mess on the floor. Your breath was shaking as you came down from your high. 

After a moment, you felt Arthur’s hand caressing your face. “Are you all right?” You saw the pack of wet wipes in his hand and nodded, before resting your head back on the carpet. “Good,” he replied, before he started to take wipes out of the pack and wipe the cum off your body. When he was done, he helped you off the floor. You winced when you moved and felt the buttplug shift inside you. 

After Arthur helped you get the plug out, you collapsed on the couch, head in your boyfriend’s lap. You enjoyed the moment of calmness as you mentally returned to the real world. Arthur noticed it the moment you were present and killed the silence. “Dating your boss comes with the benefit of sex interludes at work, but you still need to work you know,” he teased and poked your shoulder. 

You kept your eyes closed, blindly waving off his hand. “You are so fucking romantic,” you complained back at him. Arthur responded by leaning down and capturing your lips in a gentle, loving kiss. When your lips parted and you opened your eyes, you saw the lovestruck look he gave you. 

“Just a little longer then,” he whispered, before kissing you again. Nothing like sex interludes between emails.

favorite merlin episodes: queen of hearts

[twistedshipper]

So, for the tag game, I'm very interested in Morgana's Tale, could you please share a couple of words about it?

"Arthur doesn't know how it begins" isn't it a story of Arthur who knows about the siblings thing but Morgana doesn't? I recall we were talking about this plot some months ago, but I may be wrong 😗

Of course. I'm excited you asked about this one. From the title it probably sounds like BBC Merlin but from Morgana's perspective, but I'm afraid it's actually a Handmaid's Tale au for Merlin. I was inspired when Margaret Atwood released The Testaments to write the au for Merlin that no one asked for, but I felt I very much needed (though only wrote a few pages of, since I want to finish SL first).

I'm not going to get into the whole story behind the books here but, essentially, it's a dystopia in which women have seen their rights removed. From the wiki about the show based on the book:

The plot features a dystopia following a Second American Civil War wherein a theonomic, totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called "Handmaids", to child-bearing slavery.

In the fic now, Morgana is a handmaid for Commander Arthur Pendragon and his wife Gwen. She is referred to Ofarthur, as each handmaid can no longer be called by her given name in the time before the war, emphasizing how she now belongs as the property of her Commander.

In the fic, Morgana, or Ofarthur, is the vessel by which Arthur and his wife Gwen hope to conceive a child due to Gwen's barrenness (which also works as an Arthurian nod, since I believe in many of the stories Gwen couldn't conceive).

I'll leave a snippet below:

“Did Mrs. Pendragon tell you?” she asked, speaking softly.  Her hand unconsciously moved over her stomach as if to safeguard the child that grew within her.  A mother’s instinct that overshadowed even Morgana’s reluctant acceptance to her pregnancy. 

The Commander watched her gesture, eyes lingering on her stomach as if in disbelief at the entity that grew there.  Then his eyes rose up to his handmaid’s pale face.  “Guinevere did say something of the matter,” he admitted, Morgana thought, rather sheepishly.  “That you told her you have not bled, that you think you are with child.”

“Yes,” she affirmed, as she clutched the hand still at her side into a fist.  She had watched his face carefully when she asked him, making sure to study his face for his reaction.  “I thought you would have been pleased,” she stated matter of fact. 

“I am pleased for my wife,” he allowed. 

She frowned.  “But not for yourself?” she ventured.

He looked away, shook his head, before turning back to face her.  “Not if it brings you displeasure.”

Her frown deepened.  “Why would it?” she asked.  “I am filled with God’s miracle.”

He snorted.  “You don’t believe that righteous hogwash.  Not you, of all people.”

She tilted her head up, inquisitively.  “And how would you know, with all due respect, Sir, just what I do or don’t believe?”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I also answered a previous ask about the second fic you asked about. Kinda. It was definitely based on that conversation, except in the fic they both know they are related.

Thanks for giving me the chance to discuss both of these.

[ask-guinevere-pendragon]

Someone say my name? Lovely to meet you, Mrs. Pendragon.

Howdy! You must be Ashes? You can call me Guinevere. Or Gwen, if you'd like.

Thanks for keepin an eye on Mordred, by the way. Glad to hear he's got someone like you around.

[gwenieart]

Today I’m honoring this beautiful, talented, Black 👸🏾 She had to go through so much passive/aggressive hate, vitriol and disrespect from all sides including media and fandom. She received very little to no support from coworkers or producers. In fact, some of them played into the passive hate and micro aggressions that was trying to diminish her character and the Arthurian Legend’s canon relationship. I admire her tenacity and determination to press through all of that. She owned the role of Queen Guinevere and doesn’t get half the credit she deserves. She did an amazing job despite the noise. I know her BD isn’t until next month but I wanted to honor her today (and next month😉). You have fans that sincerely love and admire you Angel and we aren’t going anywhere🥰♥️🥰♥️

The Story of Us The show without compromised characters. There will be some subtle changes, while other things change radically. But one thing remains the same: Our story begins when the Saviour Emma Swan comes to town & meets Mayor Regina Mills. Swan Queen is Endgame.

After The Sunset Once you get your happy ending, what happens next? Sounds familiar, right? Now married, Emma and Regina Swan-Mills must come to terms with the fact that their son Henry will soon be leaving the nest. With Henry gone, how will their lives be with just the two of them? Also, now the Realms of Story are united, what is life like for the people of Storybrooke and beyond?

What Dreams May Come With the Realms of Story united and a baby on the way, life is pretty sweet for Mrs & Mrs Swan-Mills, but what about Henry? Surrounded by happy endings, where can a young man go to find his own great adventure? Discovering a new realm with new possibilities, Emma and Regina join Henry on a journey filled with love, laughter and frequent musical numbers!

Sins of the Past As Regina and Emma contemplate an early retirement to spend more time with their daughter, a shadow from Camelot’s past emerges from the forest. After a ten year absence, what will Morgana Pendragon’s return mean for Guinevere’s reign and for the United Realms?

The Once & Future Queen Separated by a cruel twist of fate and with Morgana still at large, Emma and Regina must find their way back to each other at any cost.

Into The Story-Verse Everyone knows that all magic comes with a price, but the consequences of time-travel are far reaching. Despite her successful return home, Emma's encounter with a young Regina in the Enchanted Forest set events in motion which just may cause the fabric of their very reality to unravel. Striving to put right what once went wrong, Regina and Emma must journey through multiple realities and different versions of themselves to succeed.

Something Wicked This Way Comes There’s much more than double, double toil and trouble in store for Emma and Regina as the Swan-Mills Saga returns. Upon the discovery of an ancient spell book in The Land of Untold Stories, it’s only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose. While heroes from all realms begin to mysteriously disappear, are the Sanderson sisters to blame or is a darker, devious force responsible?

The List of Merlin/Merthur Fic Prompts and Ideas That I’ll Probably Never Get Around to Writing Myself

This post is an absolute mess, lmao. Some of them are prompts, some of them are summaries, and some of them are just little story notions. If you want to write/draw/edit one of these, then go for it! All I ask is that you tag me or shoot me a quick message if you post it. 

1) Prince!Merlin

In order to stop the feud between their two kingdoms, Prince Arthur of Camelot is betrothed to Prince Merlin of Escetir. When they meet, they are undeniably drawn to each other, but any hopes of affection are crushed when they open their mouths. Prince Merlin and Prince Arthur butt heads even more than King Balinor and King Uther, but the one thing they can agree on is that the feud has gone on for far enough, and if dealing with each other is the price to pay for peace, then so be it.

The biggest strain in their nonexistent relationship comes from magic. Merlin, or Emrys, has always believed in the prophecies, but his marriage to Arthur throws a wrench in things. Either a) Arthur, the biggest prat in all of Albion, is the Once and Future King, or b) Merlin will have to help his true King from the sidelines, possibly breaking the truce in the process, and all the while being trapped in a loveless marriage. Neither are particularly appealing to him.

Of course, Arthur discovers that magic isn’t inherently evil. And of course, Merlin discovers that Arthur is the Once and Future King. And of course, the two fall madly in love.

2) 4x06 Divergence

After he destroys the Fomorrah, Merlin returns to Camelot to find an anxious Gwen, a furious Gwaine, and most concerning of all, an Arthur who is trapped in a pit of despair and refuses to speak to anyone about it, especially Merlin. Now, Merlin has to figure out what the hell happened when he was under the Fomorrah’s control.

Spoiler alert: when Arthur found Merlin in the bog, instead of hugging him, he kissed him. Merlin pushed Arthur away, saying that he doesn’t think of him that way. Of course, this is all happening in front of Gwaine, who’s been dealing with both Merlin and Arthur’s pining, and who finally convinced Arthur to go for it, only for Merlin to shut him down.

3) another Prince/Nobleman!Merlin

Arthur meets Lord/Prince Merlin, and he’s immediately besotted. Merlin plays hard to get and is just in general a sarcastic, sassy prince.

I picture their dynamic in this to be like Hercules and Meg, with Merlin just roasting the shit out of Arthur while Arthur sits there like 😍

Arthur’s constantly like “Isn’t he just amazing?” and Sir Leon the Long Suffering is just sitting there like “...are you fucking kidding me”

4) The Toast

Arthur gets crowned King. At the feast, he gives a toast - to his knights, to Guinevere - but most shockingly, the final toast is to Merlin.

5) Modern!AU

When Merlin Emrys and Arthur Pendragon meet, it’s love at first sight. Unfortunately, neither of them know how to handle their feelings like regular adults, so instead, they resort to witty banter, pigtail pulling, and worst of all, pining.

Featuring a group of friends who just want to be put out of their misery.

6) The Lowkey Magic Reveal

“You have magic,” Arthur stated.

“Yes.”

Arthur paused for a long moment, glancing between Merlin and the armor that was now strewn across the floor.

“...And you use it to do your chores?”

“Occasionally, among other things. Saving your life, for example.”

Arthur’s face was completely blank. The pair stood in silence for what felt like an eternity, and Merlin felt his panic rising, before Arthur finally responded.

“Alright. Well, carry on, then, I suppose.”

He waved his hand and shut the door, and Merlin heard his footsteps walking out of Gaius’ chambers, leaving Merlin alone to wonder what the hell had just happened.

Or: Arthur finds out about Merlin’s magic. It goes better than expected. Too much better than expected, if you ask Merlin.

7) High School Theatre AU

Arthur Pendragon, jock extraordinaire, is cornered by the drama teacher, Mr. Kilgharrah, in the halls and is begged to audition for the school play/musical. He’s always been one to help wherever he could, so even though he’s never acted/sung in his life, he agrees.

Merlin Emrys is seen as the theatre gay boy stereotype - outgoing, bold, and confident. Most of the student body adores him, along with the teachers and generally everyone he meets. He hates Arthur Pendragon on principle, considering that he’s simply waltzing into theatre and getting a lead role his first time simply because he’s a man.

You know the drill. Enemies to lovers, slow burn. Bonus points if the roles that Merlin and Arthur are cast in have gay subtext. Even more bonus points if the roles are openly gay.

8) Immortal!Merlin Accidentally Becomes Famous

In which Merlin gets bored of hating his immortality and decides to express his bottled-up emotions from Camelot and from over the years of waiting through song, but his music blows up, and he becomes a musical sensation. And in which Arthur is tumblr famous for his fan blog of the world-famous music artist Emrys, and keeps wondering why the hell Emrys’ work feels so familiar.

9) Hero!Merlin/Villain!Arthur

Arthur’s working for his father, the CEO of Pendragon Sciences, when day, Uther pulls him into his office and reveals how he’s begun developing biology altering drugs to make superpowers, something to directly counter magic. He uses magical human test subjects and tortures them to the brink of death. Furthermore, he plans to give someone close to him the first test of these drugs and essentially become his personal hitman. Arthur is absolutely horrified, and he realizes that he has to do something about this. He knows just how powerful his father has become - now that he understands the scope of his work, he realizes that no one will be able to stop him. No one... except for maybe, just maybe, someone on the inside of his corporation, and someone who he trusts unconditionally... like Arthur.

So, Arthur convinces Uther to use him as the test subject, and everything goes perfectly. Arthur gains powers, and he plays the part of the perfect, magic-hating villain, all while trying to undermine Uther’s operations. The media gets wind of this new villain, and so naturally, there needs to be a hero to combat it. Enter Merlin Ambrose, AKA Emrys, the most powerful magic user to ever walk the earth.

Merlin has been working with Morgana, Arthur’s magical half-sister who ran away once she discovered her magic combined with all of Uther’s shit, and they suspect that Uther is behind the creation of this villain. Merlin applies for a job at Pendragon Sciences as Arthur Pendragon’s personal assistant. You’ve probably got a pretty good idea of how it goes from there.

If you want to talk about any of these ideas, either share your thoughts on this post or message me! I haven’t even gotten into everything I have for some of these ideas, and I would be overjoyed to talk about them to someone or for someone to end up creating them!!!

⭐ please mr director! release the morgwen cut....(where'd your headcanons for gwen come from, what are some challenges you have re: writing them)

Behind the Scenes: Fanfic Edition

Essay incoming! This one got long as well!

Oh bless you for asking me about this; she once was a true love of mine is one of my favorite things I've ever written, and I am always 110% ready to scream about the things that inspired it!

So the answer to your second question goes hand-in-hand with the answer to the first actually, so I'm gonna answer these out of order!

The biggest challenge with these two is mostly just how little we have in canon in regards to their relationship, background, history, and other such information that would typically be very helpful for writing a canon character-- or how two of them relate-- for a fanfic!

With Morgana, we have a little bit, but she's also not often allowed-- in the show, at least-- to be a character outside of being a villain for our heroes to fight, so one challenge with her is understanding what she does in her day-to-day life. What is she doing when she isn't advancing the plot via attempted fratricide, or directly opposing Merlin in some way? Since she can't possibly always be sitting in her tower rubbing her hands together maniacally (or pulling a BBC Merlin and smirking in full view of everyone who suspects her) I want to know what kinds of things she likes to do when she's not in court, or tackling the Big Themes Of The Show.

She's clearly moved on from lessons with Merlin, so she is not spending all her time studying-- though I do think she must be self-taught in shadow magic, so perhaps some days are spent on magic study-- and ToA is set before Morgana starts being a general-purpose villain to throw into your knight's tale (because as any medieval male writer will tell you, there is nothing scarier than a woman with power).

The way I see it, then, is that in order to establish this close friendship that Wizards says Guinevere and Morgana have, a good chunk of Morgana's time must be spent around Guinevere. And for a Guinevere who, in my headcanon, married Arthur for strategic reasons? For a Guinevere who's got a crush on Morgana the size of Arthur's ego? Spending that much time with her is bound to cause some good old fashioned yearning.

And this is where we get into my headcanons for Guinevere. As I said above, the biggest challenge is how little information we have about Guinevere. She's fallen victim to the Disposable Woman trope, and while I don't inherently fault ToA for that (they have plenty of other very strong and developed ladies), it does leave her with very little character beyond "she was Arthur's wife," and "she was Morgana's best friend." (Short sidenote: I really appreciate the Crusading Widower page on TV Tropes's site, for pointing out that the crusading widower is often an anti-hero or even an anti-villain because I think that's absolutely right when it comes to Arthur).

Anyway, all this to say, since there's so little canon, it's basically a perfect sandbox for fanfic writers to come in and have the time of their lives lol, so this is what I have done!

I am a huge Arthuriana nerd (though I am hardly an expert by any means; I'm just a simple fan who enjoys the stories) so when I saw Wizards utilize wildly famous Arthurian characters, I rather lost my mind over the potential.

I have so many headcanons about how to merge ToA and a bunch of Arthuriana plot points/tropes/characterizations, but for the purposes of this, I will stick to Guinevere!

The main way I went about making headcanons for ToA's Guinevere, was to look at what legends I knew about her and see what could apply to the Wizards canon, without contradicting it, in order to fill in these huge gaps.

For example, we know absolutely nothing about where Guinevere came from, so I kept her father and her home city from legend. Since her mother is not even mentioned in the legends, I also translated that over to an absence of her mother in the story, while also giving her at least a mention, as I think she'd be important to Guinevere, even if she hadn't really gotten to meet her properly. I really wanted this story to highlight the responsibilities that Guinevere has within her roles as wife and medieval royal woman, and I think having her consider what her mother would have done in her shoes tied into that theme of Guinevere wondering "what kind of woman do I want to become?" as she grew up. This is also why Igraine is given a moment in the fic as well; Guinevere's relationships with the women around her is something which I think deserves attention, even in a fic where I'm mostly just trying to establish a general timeline and characterization for Guinevere as a whole.

The idea for Guin's mother to have fallen in battle, in fact, came from ToA establishing that some of the background Camelot knights are men, and some are women, and it's treated as perfectly normal, as far as I noticed. Claire has that one line about a "boy's club," but I do think that it's actually just that she couldn't compete because she wasn't registered as a knight. I might be wrong about that, but I really liked the idea of there being knights in Camelot who are women, and I wanted to keep that in the fic I was writing. Therefore, I think that Guinevere's mother was both a queen and a knight, or, at least, a skilled warrior. Similarly, I also think that Guinevere's father is most known for his relationship with the Pendragons in legend. This then translated to her father being the diplomat, to tie in with her mother being the fighter. I didn't dwell too much on that because, again, the fic was meant to focus on Guinevere, and it had already gotten longer than I'd meant for it to. But, I tried to give a hint at that in the way that Guinevere's father is the one who physically takes Guin's bow, and puts a crown in her hands instead. He's not saying she can't be a fighter, but he is emphasizing that she also needs to be ready to appear in other kingdoms in a formal setting. I like to think that Leodegrance would have wanted Guinevere to have both options, to be a bit more well-rounded than he or her mother were.

Brief addition before I move on to the next phase of the fic: I chose a bow because when the stalkling advances on her, she tries using a stick to fight it off, but shows a bit of an ineptitude at using a weapon like that. Since I didn't want that to turn into "she's a weak royal who couldn't fight at all," especially since it seems to me that most of the time, being royal in the Middle Ages also meant receiving fight training, I chose for her to be better at ranged weapons, like bows, crossbows, maybe even spear throwing.

At any rate, my headcanons from there were created in a similar fashion to the ones mentioned above; I used a mixture of ToA canon (ex: Arthur, Morgana, and Guinevere being shown as childhood friends; Morgana and Guinevere spending time in the woods) and Arthuriana (ex: pulling the sword in the stone, losing it, getting it reforged by Nimue; Leodegrance bringing the round table as Guinevere's dowry; Merlin being a royal advisor).

Now, since this isn't much of a Morgwen cut just yet (so sorry omg), I wanted to skip ahead to the Morgwen pining moments, to talk about them!

The juxtaposition between a burning candle flame representing her love for Morgana, and an uncomfortable midnight cuddle from Arthur (where she can't even bring herself to scratch her nose-- an irritant meant to heighten that feeling of discomfort) representing her relationship with him, is one of my favorite ways to examine the wild difference in how Guinevere sees both relationships. One is untouchable but beautiful, interesting. It burns, and it's bright, and getting too near it hurts too bad.

And then on the other hand, one is there always, it's inescapable, but mostly sweet, though it comes up short of providing comfort. It's not bad, and it's even gentle, and Arthur does love her, but she married him for diplomacy. She married him because it's expected, and it keeps her safe.

(Which, sidenote: I think some stories work well with period-accurate homophobia, and others do not. This is one I would not have put period-accurate homophobia in, as it's fantasy and legend, and I think it's more interesting if Guinevere can't pick Morgana not because of Morgana also being a woman, but because Guinevere is bound by her duties as a royal).

The last thing I wanna talk about is that I have considered writing another Morgwen fic, but I'm just not sure what kind of plot hook or idea I'd like to pursue. So, if there's interest, or any requests that someone might have for these two, please do feel free to ask away! I think their relationship is really interesting, and I'd be delighted to keep writing for them. Guinevere is a fascinating character in particular, and is one who I think, even in legend, sometimes gets boiled down a lot, so I wanna add some depth back into her character, and give her a chance to shine!

Thank you so much for asking, and if there's anything else you're curious about, don't hesitate to send it my way! Like I said, I am always happy to holler about Guinevere and Morgwen! <3
