Rarepair Rowboat: Argwaine | Arthur Pendragon x Gwaine (BBC Merlin)

Requested by @thedragonlies

Steel clashed together, the clang of swords reverberating across the training grounds. Arthur ducked, dodged a blow, then shot back up, sword already swinging. Gwaine managed to knock it from his hands. The tip of his own sword hovered an inch from Arthur's throat. He gently tilted his chin up with it and raised his eyebrows.

'Give up?'

Arthur held his hands up and huffed out a chuckle, and Gwaine grinned, triumphant and smug. That was, for the two seconds before Arthur ducked again, disarmed him and put him flat on his back on the ground.

Gwaine huffed, but he nodded. 'Alright. Should've seen that coming.'

'You just lack concentration,' Arthur said. 'You're easily distracted.'

'Well, now, whose fault is that?' Gwaine said dryly.

He pushed himself up onto one elbow and pushed his hair out of his face. He eyed Arthur, squinting up at him from the glare of the sun beating down on them. It was giving him a golden halo of sorts around the edges of his dishevelled hair.

'Give us a hand?'

Arthur bit back a smile as he rolled his eyes. Still, he was a courteous opponent. He stuck his hand out and motioned for him to take it.

'You know, I'm not one of your fellow knights. You really should address me with a bit more respect, I mean, I am your king, so, it's not a lot to ask that you--'

The rest of his sentence was knocked out of him as Gwaine yanked him down onto the ground. Somehow, he had him pinned beneath him with a sword to his throat before Arthur had even regained his breath.

'You just lack concentration, sire,' Gwaine teased, his mouth curving into a wicked grin. He tilted his head. 'You're too easily distracted.'

Arthur glared up at him; his heart had quickened and his face was red-hot. It was embarrasment, obviously, at being overpowered by a knight in broad daylight for anyone to see, and because he had, in fact, allowed himself to be distracted. He was just thankful there was no one else around to see it.

And yet, despite that, he found himself smiling. 'You got lucky.'

'What can I say? That's my speciality.'

Gwaine finally got off of him, and he was the one offering his hand this time. Arthur begrudgingly took it. He was still flushed and flustered, and he wasn't sure if it was him or Gwaine that held on a little too long.

'Oh, and Gwaine? You tell anyone about that...'

Gwaine's grin widened. 'Don't worry, sire. I won't tell anyone. Happens to the best of us, right?'

'Right.'

'I mean, it's hardly your fault. Not even royalty are immune to my good looks. You're only human, after all.'

Modern Merlin Moodboards (Part 3) (Revamped);

Previous parts: Modern Merlin Playlist, Moodboard Masterlist, Modern Will Fic, Modern Gwaine Pie Story, Au, 1 , and 2.

------------------------------------------------------------

Character: William of Ealdor.

Modern name: William 'Will' Knightley.

Age: 37 years old.

Modern job: Professional soccer/football player.

Short rundown of their modern life: Will grew up poor in a small town in England after his father (who worked for the royal family) died for their country.

Because of this, he grew up without his father and started to resent royalty, causing him to move to the states the first chance he got after playing football for awhile after his mother died. Which America calls Soccer. Because of this he refers to the sport by both names.

Soon after moving to Nashville, Will started volunteering at Tristan and Izzy's Youth Center, where he went on to meet his wife, Elena. Who he fell for immediately.

During a vacation the two went on not long after they started dating, Will got into a tree chopping accident and was saved by a mysterious doctor, Merlin Everstone, who soon became his best friend and introduced him to most of the other people who he soon began to see as good friends.

When he and Elena got married, Merlin was his best man, and when they adopted their son, Marcel, they made him the God Father.

They are also the godparents of Merlin's own son, Dragonet.

Merlin is also the one Will seeks advice from when he decides to hire someone new because he finds that Merlin has good instincts. Which Elena agrees with.

Which is how they came to hire George and several of his family members.

Character: Princess Elena of Gawant.

Modern name: Elena Knightley.

Age: 35 years old.

Modern job: Horse Riding Instructor.

Short rundown of their modern life: Elena grew up different and was seen as a problem child by many because of the fact that she was a clumsy tomboy.

Seen as a problem child by everyone except her father who encouraged her to follow her dreams. So she did, becoming an horse riding instructor and a volunteer at the local Youth Center where she met her husband, Will.

Who would be saved by a man named Merlin who became a good friend of theirs and the best man at their wedding after he saved Will during a tree chopping accident that occurred while on vacation.

The man also became the Godfather to their adoptive son, Marcel, after they adopted him and they became the Godparents to his son in turn.

Not long after they adopted Marcel, Elena got back in contact with her cousin, Winnie, who she convinced Will to hire as their son's musicial tutor.

And now they're very happy together.

Character: Druid boy.

Modern name: Marcel Knightley.

Age: 11 years old.

Modern job: None. He's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Marcel Knightley grew up on the streets until he broke into the Knightley house, looking for food where he was found by Will and Elena—who took him in.

He's lived happily with them for the past 5 years ever since.

Though all is not perfect because nightly he is plagued by nightmares that he isn't quite sure are just dreams. Which has caused him to be labeled a problem child by many—which his parents disagree heavily with.

Even when he was oddly terrified of their friends for some unknown reason (which had Merlin cringing).

Character: Sir Gwaine of Camelot.

Modern name: Gwaine Jones.

Age: 39 years old.

Modern job: Bartender and YouTuber.

Short rundown of their modern life: Gwaine Jones was found in a field in America when he was twelve with serve amenisa and wounds.

When questioned, he could only vaguely recollect that he'd come from a big family with a mother, a father, and a sister specifically. The names turned up nothing and because of that, Gwaine was placed in foster care.

He ran away and picked fights often. Eventually, the system lost track of him due to him constantly moving around.

He hopped trains, rode busses, burrowed bikes, and hitchhiked to get around. Earning money in any way he could (under the table jobs, mowing lawns, helping people move, street performing, boxing, poker playing, etc) until he was finally able to get a bartender license.

Gwaine then saved up to get an RV. Eventually becoming a father of three, marrying Percival, and saving a doctor named Merlin Everstone in a bar fight. Reopening an old scar on his thigh that he doesn't remember how he got in the process.

Character: Sir Percival of Camelot.

Modern name: Percival 'Percy' Armstrong.

Age: 38 years old.

Modern job: Kindergarten Teacher.

Short rundown of their modern life: Percival 'Percy' Armstrong grew up in a big family with tons of cousins, siblings, aunts, and uncles for the first ten years of his life until they all died in a fire (that was later determined to be arson) that he just barely survived.

After he got out of the hospital, he was placed into foster care and stayed there for three years until he placed into a military boarding school by the state due to misbehavior on his end.

But luckily for him, some of the 'weird' staff at the military liked him so it wasn't all that bad.

There he'd meet Lancelot, who'd eventually introduce him to Leon and Merlin.

Who he then, in turn, introduced to his cute bartender friend (who he is now married to with kids and living in an apartment with) Gwaine.

Character: Sir Le Bel Inconnu from the legends.

Modern name: Gingalain 'Everard' Jones.

Age: 11 years old.

Modern job: None. He's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Gingalain 'Everard' Jones was the product of a one night stand between bartender, Gwaine Jones, and an unknown woman he met at a music festival.

9 months later, he was abandoned at a hospital not far from where the music festival took place only to be picked up by his dad when the hospital was able to get ahold of him.

Gingalain eventually gained a little sister in Constance 6 years later and a step brother in Percival's son, Lohengrin 'Grin' Armstrong 11 years later.

He now lives happily with his siblings, dad, and stepfather, Percival.

Character: None. This is an original character of mine.

Modern name: Constance Jones.

Age: 5 years old.

Modern job: None. She's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Constance Jones was a result of yet another one night stand between bartender, Gwaine Jones, and an unknown woman he met at a bar.

She, like her brother before her, she was abandoned at a hospital until her father was able to pick her up from the hospital.

Now she lives happily with her brothers, dad, and stepdad, Percival.

Character: Sir Lohengrin from the legends.

Modern name: Lohengrin 'Grin' Armstrong.

Age: 9 months old.

Modern job: None. He's a baby.

Short rundown of their modern life: Lohengrin 'Grin" Armstrong was recently adopted by Percival, who he now lives with alongside Gingalain, Constance, and Gwaine.

Character: Sir Leon of Camelot.

Modern name: Leonard 'Leon' Grant.

Age: 43 years old.

Modern job: Detective.

Short rundown of their modern life: After watching Percival, Giaus, and Gwen grow older and older while he stayed the same, sir Leon of Camelot realized he was immortal.

Because of this, he's been traveling and has kept running into Merlin.

Eventually, the two realized that the others have been reincarnated (FINALLY) when Lancelot was assigned as Leon's partner at work (who has become his roommate). They've also realized that it isn't just their friends because of Lady Vivian (who is now Leon's wife) and Princess Elena's presence in this time.

Needless to say, they're both scrambling. Trying to find everyone who has reincarnated before Arthur rises because they're sure he's coming soon (they're also trying to figure out WHY he's going to rise and WHY Leon is aging all of a sudden).

Character: Lady Vivian.

Modern name: Vivian Grant.

Age: 38 years old.

Modern job: Butterfly Habitat Curator.

Short rundown of their modern life: Vivian Grant grew up the daughter of a violently protective socialite and looked down on others—including her future husband, Leon, who eventually showed her that she was wrong for doing so and helped her grow as a person.

They became friends and eventually married after he saved her from a kidnapper and would be murderer.

Afterwards they moved into an apartment building with one of Leon's close friends and detective partner, Lance, where they met and befriended a friendly couple Tristan and Isolde.

Leon also introduced her to a friend of his named Merlin and she never suspected that the two were immortal until her memories started to trinkle back.

Merlin (2008-2012)

[merlinbingo]

We're a month (and a little bit, shhh) into round five, which means it's time for exactly one thing:

February Round Up!

In February, we received 67 fabulous fills created by 34 dazzling participants. Of those, six people opted not to have their fills included in the round up, and one person who shall remain nameless continued their career as a statistical outlier by creating 17 whole fills all on their lonesome.

Want to know how the ships break down? 29 fills are gen, 16 Merlin/Arthur, four Gwen/Morgana, and two each for Gwaine/Leon and Balinor/Hunith. Rounding out the list, we have eight ships with just one fill each: Arthur/Gwen, Arthur/Percival, Lancelot/Mordred, Leon/Morgana, Merlin/Lancelot, Merlin/Percival, Merlin/Percy Jackson and Merlin/Freya/Lancelot/Arthur.

In terms of formats, fic and art are once again top of the list with 41 and 14 fills respectively. We also got two lovely moodboards, one drabble, one fanvid, one fic/moodboard combo and one intriguingly categorised other writing/gif combo!

Now that we're done with the stats, it's on to the fills themselves! As always, these are sorted by ship and then by rating, and we encourage you to 1) pay attention to any warnings given before clicking on those links and 2) leave the creators all the love they deserve!

TOO MANY MEN IM IN LOVE WITH

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐞/𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬

The men who can’t help but exude some sort of sex appeal. Whether they’re woman (and/or man) eaters, everyone finds something sensual about them. There’s no way you can’t crush on them … even a little. Some may talk about sex freely and about their experiences, while others like to keep what they do … behind doors.

Avalon’s Ghosts

After the battle of Camlann, Merlin and Morgana are forced to enter a truce to save the ones they love. Together, they summon the Sidhe to open the gates of Avalon, but all magic has a price. Arthur and Mordred may have survived, but Camelot will never be the same. New threats to the throne have arisen and Merlin is confronted by the prospect that his decision may not have been the right one.

a/n: again if you’re a woman or female-presenting - I’ve basically erased homophobia from Camelot. Is it cutting corners? Idk but I’m tired of homophobes. So please read on and let’s pretend the world is rid of hate <3

SFW🌿

⭑ After the death of Arthur, Gwen went into mourning. She didn’t think she could love anyone else. Feel anything but sadness, and shame. Shame because she was alive and Arthur wasn’t. 

⭑ Merlin would be the one to tell her that she was allowed to move on

⭑ She would get very upset at that 

⭑ But after a while she let herself enjoy things; basking in the sun, eating her favourite food, laughing at things that she found humorous. 

⭑ It was hard, but time heals 

⭑ And after the death of Gaius, Merlin needed someone to train to be a second healer for Camelot. 

⭑ So you were chosen

⭑ As soon as you saw Queen Guinevere, your heart nearly stopped. She was breathtaking. And take it she did. 

⭑ All you could do was stare, and bow when she approached you. Awkward? Oh yes. But she found it endearing. 

⭑ It’s a mutual pining. But you definitely did not think the Queen would take any sort of interest in you. 

⭑ So you listened to Merlin, wrote, studied, practiced, and became his shadow. He was a great teacher, but there was immense sadness in him. He missed Gaius, he missed Arthur. But you did fill some of the holes in his heart. 

⭑ You were a light amongst the Camelot court. Becoming a relief from everyone’s grief. 

⭑ Guinevere always felt lighter whenever she was around you. And so she sought you out often.

⭑ You spent a lot of time together; riding, and visiting the forest. She would accompany you when Merlin sent you to gather herbs. 

⭑ It wasn’t until Sir Leon mentioned how much time Gwen was spending with you that she realised her feelings. ‘Surely not. So soon after Arthur?’ She thought. Although it had been 2 years. 

⭑ And you had no royal standing, so the issue with marrying you was that Camelot didn’t have another alliance. But Gwen was taking after her late husband Arthur, who would have liked you by the way. 

⭑ One day in the forest, when the sun had warmed your skin, making you feel fuzzy and light. Gwen looked at you, and her hand gently cupped your face. 

⭑ The kiss felt right. 

⭑ It wasn’t long before you married. You had spent so much time together that really it could be considered courting. 

⭑ Everyone adored you. And you were such a good healer that everyone felt relieved to have you permanently around. 

⭑ Gwen is such a tender partner; she always wants you to feel at ease. 

⭑ She seeks out your counsel and won’t make a definitive decision without speaking to you. 

⭑ Merlin officiated the wedding by the way, and he cried. He was so happy that the two of you were together. 

⭑ You continue your work with him, and worry that somehow something will happen to Merlin

⭑ You’re always present in the council meetings

⭑ And whenever Gwen needs to leave Camelot, you’re in charge 

NSFW🔞minors dni!

⭑ A lady even in the bedroom. She only knows the traditional positions (missionary basically) and is a bit reserved. 

⭑ Gwen wouldn’t have sex until you two were married; I mean she would give you passionate kisses, PG 13 hand holding, and intimacy. But it wouldn’t be until marriage that she would want to have sex. 

⭑ Whether you’re experienced or not doesn’t matter. I think passion and desire would overcome both of you, and it might be awkward - but you’re both left breathless. 

⭑ When you get to know each other’s bodies, and find what you like - sex becomes a fun experience. 

⭑ It isn’t serious, but a lot of laughing, giggling and genuinely feeling comfortable with yourselves. 

⭑ A lot of grinding against one another 

⭑ She loves when you trail kisses from her lips to her neck, chest, stomach, thighs 

⭑ You both have images to uphold, so no hickeys can be seen by the public. So you’re both covered underneath your clothes. 

⭑ Throwing caution to the wind and pushing her up against the castle wall in the hallway. 

    “What are you doing? We could be seen!” 

“I don’t care, I want you.” 

⭑ Aftercare is very important to both of you. She loves how caring you are, and we all know that Gwen is literally kindness-incarnated. So I think she would appreciate someone looking after her. 

⭑ She loves bathing with you, fingers finding each other underneath the hot water. Washing each other’s bodies and leaving trails of kisses on naked skin.
