Loveable Gwaine, such a big heart...

(Pst! I'm updating the Find What You Love series shortly!)

3.04 — Gwaine

[justaz]

One of the first prophecies in Albion was of Emrys and the Once and Future King. Every Seer in the realm had similar visions of the two powerful, glorious beings that would one day walk the earth. The prophecies remained prophecies for a few centuries before it began to grow into a fairytale story. Children were told stories of Emrys and the Once and Future King that would one day bring peace to Albion. Then it grew more and more as a story that people began to forget it was once a prophecy. When Uther began his Purge, he changed the story he himself had grown up hearing. He made Emrys out to be a creature of pure evil. If Emrys was magic incarnate, he couldn’t be anything other than evil. Children still heard of Emrys after the Purge, but he was a boogeyman, a villain that would snatch disobeying children from their homes and feast of them in the woods.

Arthur grew up hearing tales of the horrible, fearsome Emrys. Uther used Emrys as a tool to get Arthur to behave and be a perfect prince. Merlin heard of the fairytale version of Emrys from his mother. The Druids continued to worship Emrys as their deity but people thought them mad, he’s nothing more than a character in a story, but the Druids never forgot the prophecy. And with their Sight, their ability to recognize Emrys on sight, Uther lumped Druids in with the evilness he had slapped on Emrys’ name. He said the Druids performed sacrifices and rituals in Emrys’ name to try and conjure the demon to steal children’s souls.

Anyways, post-magic reveal Mordred calls Merlin Emrys and Arthur just freezes bc he Knows that Mordred is a Druid, and he Knows that Druids worship Emrys and would not take his name in vain or call someone else the name of their deity, and he was brought up hearing stories of Emrys being a demon, pure evil. So he just kinda. Looks. At Merlin who just grumbles about being called that but responds as if it’s normal and Arthur is a bit terrified. He’s like “You’re Emrys?” To Merlin who shrugs and is like “I guess” (unaware of the horrifying stories Uther spun of Emrys, only knowing what his mother and Kilgharrah said and how the Druids worship him).

The other knights have heard of the Demon Emrys except Percival who grew up in Druid camps but doesn’t have their Sight so he didn’t know Merlin was Emrys until right now. Gwaine laughing a little uncomfortably to break the tension and is like “So…taste any good children lately?” Arthur slaps him up back the head. Merlin just looks disgusted and confused. Mordred and Percival are offended on his behalf. Lancelot is amused by it all and sits back to watch the chaos. Leon and Elyan are shaking their heads at Gwaine’s stupidity. Why the hell would he say something like that to a DEMON????

The funny thing is that Arthur is always portrayed as some popular jock in modern au fics, when in canon he is a friendless loser.. all his friends are just Merlin’s friends who just started accepting that Arthur was there and ordering them around because Merlin was busy giving Arthur cow eyes when he wasn’t giving big speeches about how great of a King Arthur would become/is

Okay Leon was kinda Arthur’s friend before Merlin, but even that rule-fkn-following knight adopted Merlin when he got the chance… mr giving Merlin advice on what weapon to kill the king with

I never finished this WIP 😦 I need to finish this. I'm making it priority number one as far as fanfics go. This is over 3 years old 😅 (not too bad, I have some that are older)

I'll probably really edit it, and make it a gender neutral reader.

WIP - Sir Gwaine x Reader

Sir Gwaine x Reader: Born For This (working title, heavily inspired by the song by The Score)

However, with one hand, he let go of his sword and backhanded you in the face. Your eyes closed in reflex/response, and you were shoved backward, tripping over something unseen in the dark. He closed in as you tried to quickly regain your senses, sword defensively blocking/in front of you.

Then, the man stops with a jolt, the sound of a sword piercing behind him. In the next curious moment, he drops to the ground with wide lifeless eyes.

“No one hurts you/my lady while I’m around,” said the red cloaked knight.

“Gwaine!” You beamed, dropping the sword in time with him reaching his hand out for you. Pulling you up/to your feet, they embraced briefly.

“Maybe we should get you some chain-mail and armor if you’re going to make a habit of this,” he smiled/teased.

“All clear,” Sir Percival called out, a few others doing the same.

I started watching Merlin under the assumption that I’d get some fun history nerd moments and that Merthur was just another fannon mlm ship with little canonical basis but HOLY SHIT I’ve literally seen cannon straight couples with less sexual tension than whatever the fuck those two had going on.

[sneakyboymerlin]

I did it. I finally did it. I posted my 37,300 word merwaine fic. Over a year late for last year’s merwaine fest. Hashtag never give up

Happy Halloween everyone 🎃👻👽

Arthur: I'm not a morning person

Gwaine: You're not an afternoon person either.

Arthur: I'm a night owl

Merlin: You're a grumpy 24/7

Modern Merlin Reincarnation Idea:

The knights, Gwen, and several other players from Merlin are reincarnated. Some more aware of their past lives than others.

Gwaine and Will, being two of them.

Long story short, both Gwaine and Will want their shit and their friends’ shit back from a museum and team up to steal it back, completely unaware that the other is also reincarnated up until the point Merlin and (an immortal) Leon catch them in the act of stealing from THEIR museum.

arthur and the knights getting cursed so they can’t hold a weapon, fight, and can barely walk. clumsy x1000 blast. the cure is idk somewhere in the woods or with the druids or something idk idk don’t ask me. anyways they get ambushed and arthur and the knights cant fight so merlin is like “damn it” and pushes them all back and looks at arthur and is like

merlin: you can’t fight so i’m going to fight them.

arthur, stumbling over his own two feet even while merlin is pushing him up against a tree: you can’t fight

merlin: i can. i’m going to. what i need you to do is wait, alright? you’re going to be mad, i get that, but that’s going to have to wait until later. can you do that?

arthur: you can’t fight, merlin.

merlin, rolling his eyes: will you just listen to me for once? be mad later. appreciate that i’m saving your life right now.

merlin, leaving arthur to fall flat on his face, muttering under his breath: like always

and then woosh merlin saves their lives and is a bad ass sorcerer yippee gwaine is very turned on and so is arthur but he’s also definitely pissed while lancelot is so proud of his bestie (and a little turned on)

More detailed explanation of each trope under the cut👇:

Time loop: a plot device in fiction where characters experience a period of time that repeats, often multiple times. The characters may try to break out of the cycle. Usually big reveals can happen where we can see the different reactions characters would have to certain secrets and situations, leading to various consequences. Often provides the characters trapped in a loop with a better understanding of their life and the people on it. (Some examples are the movies: Groundhog Day and Happy Death Day).

Character(s) High on substances: Characters with an altered state of consciousness caused by the ingestion of hallucinogenic substances (such as mushrooms or, more appropriate to the show’s context, a potion), commonly used as a comical device. (I’m not taking into consideration the episode where Arthur is enchanted and becomes a himbo, cause it’s not exactly the same).

Mystery solving with people trapped together: common trope in movies and tv shows, the characters are trapped together in the same space by external reasons (such as a storm or a blizzard) while something mysterious happen leading to general mistrust between the characters while they work together to solve it.

Christmas episode: a common trope that is usually a special production commission separate from the season it occurs alongside; as such, it generally just features the series's core cast (and sometimes, popular secondary characters), in which the characters attempt to reunite for a special celebration, usually with a gift exchange. It can be used as a comical device and/or promote heartwarming moments between the characters.

The Beach episode: an episode where the cast decided to take a break and go to the beach, shenanigans happen, it’s considered mostly as a filler episode. Beach episodes often provide a lighter, more relaxed atmosphere, allowing characters to bond in a non-serious context. This helps to develop relationships and showcase different aspects of characters's personalities.
