Hello~ For the "Mystical Magical Saturday" could I please request Sir Percival? Many thanks~
Yes! Omg. I am so glad I brought this back because y’all keep coming to my inbox and you bring my favorite men with you. It’s the best. Hope you enjoy!
The Prompt: Slow Dancing
You were stood next to Gwen, watching all the happy couples spin around the floor. You frowned as your eyes followed their movements, your hands tightening around each other. Gwen nudged you gently, “Would you not want to take a turn around the floor?” She smirked at you, “I’m sure Sir Percival would be more than willing to dance with you.”
You could feel the heat creeping into your cheeks, “Oh, certainly not. I fear I would only make a fool of myself.”
Gwen shook her head, “You are too hard on yourself.”
You laughed, “I only mean that I have two left feet.” Gwen pursed her lips and nodded a few times. You watched her with wary eyes.
Finally she looked at you, “Then I suppose Percival will have to make sure that your feet never touch the ground.” Your jaw dropped as a million remarks floated through your head, though not a single one would stick. Gwen only laughed at you before squeezing your arm and excusing herself to drag Arthur into a dance. You watched her go, your entire face getting hot. You made a poor attempt at fanning yourself, willing the heat to dissipate. It didn’t work, so you decided to slip outside for some air. Yes, that would do you good.
As soon as you stepped into the night air, you took a deep breath. “Alright there?” You jumped at the voice, turning quickly to see Percival smiling at you.
Placing your hand over your heart, you shook your head at him, “You startled me.”
The knight moved closer to you, “My apologies. I just wanted to make sure everything was alright.”
You smiled back at him, “Yes, it was just a bit stuffy in there.” You nodded back to the castle and Percival nodded. As the silence settled between the two of you, music from inside drifted out.
Percival held his hand out to you, “You know, I had hoped that we could share a dance tonight.” You looked down at his hand and then back to his face. He was still smiling brightly, even as you made no move to accept, “We don’t have to go back inside to dance.”
Swallowing thickly, you took his hand and let him pull you closer, “I fear I may step on your feet.” You watched your feet closely, making sure not to step on his toes as the two of you started to move in slow steps together.
Percival reached down, placing his fingertips on your chin and gently pushing up until your eyes met, “I do not mind.” You smiled at him, letting him spin you in slow circles even as the music changed.

The world needed something to believe in;
Something bright and solid,
Something equal, something round.
Dragon's fire illuminated the darkness,
Forged a coin to the destiny's sound.
One side bore magic, the other bore a crown.
Both sides got branded by a dragon,
And marked Albion's dawn.
Thus the legend of the once and future king and the most powerful sorcerer to walk the Earth was born.
***
Would you read a fem!Merlin fanfiction? I just think it would be funny because of how many silly situations she'd get in as a girl who a lot of people mistake for a boy, all the while she's serving the clotpole of a prince.
While I would follow some of the plot, I plan on making it make sense. Hunith willingly sending Merlin to a place where magic is punishable by death? No. Merlin trying to help Morgana out? Yes. Arthur and Morgana having petty fights over who should Merlin work for? Yes. Morgana forcing Arthur to have a girl's nights with her, Merlin and Gwen (because he has no other friends by that point) and them annoying the shit out of him? Yes. Resetting Arthur's character development over and over again? No. And so on.
I plan on really working on the character's psyche and relationships with other characters because that part really fascinated me the most about BBC's Merlin.
Anyway, I plan on writing it in a way that even if people haven't watched the show or aren't familiar with Arthurian legends can still read and enjoy it.
P.S. Cover is made by me with the help of my beloved friend @lovenonymously

What would it be like if the four inspectors (sir topham hatt,Mr percival, Mr fergus duncan and sir Robert Norramby)opened a discotheque on Sodor, both for locomotives and for humans?
(Reference image, diesel 10 has a den in his workshop)
Oh my goodness I can't even imagine how fucking chaotic and stupid the whole situation turns out man. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For one, Daisy and James are definitely gonna be strippers or something similar to that. And then traumatize the children or the aces and aros.
Second, the engines would probably host many unhinged shows that the four inspectors would have to shut them down very quick.
Third, I would see the sane engines being roped into this and then internally they're heavily regretting their decisions. Toby got roped into a RuPaul's Drag Race type of game show and got turned into a drag queen.
Surprisingly, he did not hate it as much as he expected.

The story of how Mordred called Merlin mom and then proceeded to call Arthur dad and now he's adopted into the family
Author: Me aka @dalazygamerneko
Inspired by @tongjaitongjai merthur idea, check out it out here: 🐓x🐦=🐣
♤•°•♡•°•♤•°•♡•°•♤•°•♡•°•♤•°•♡•°•♤
It was ordinary day. Birds were singing, training went well and the maids were busy but happily chatting.
Nothing could go wrong Mordred thought as he made his way to the afternoon roundtable meeting when he came across Merlin or Emrys as he is known amongst druids, quickly he hid into an alcove and gazed in envy at Lord Emrys, no, Merlin smiling and holding a little boy in his arms.
It's moments like these that he wished he knew his mother longer but he could barely remember her. He watched quietly at the soft look in Merlin's eyes and utter joy upon the little boy's face as they hugged each other, Mordred wondered if his mother would've looked at him the same way Merlin did.
He sighed, leaning back against the stone walls Mordred couldn't help but want to revert back into being a child again just so Merlin wouldn't gaze coldly at him, albeit he probably deserved it for the words of hatred he said in his youth. He knew now Merlin never meant to lead those knights towards his camp. That the warlock was only trying to help Morgana.
"What can I do to earn your trust?"
Mordred shook his head, he'd think of something maybe ask one of the knights for help? He's noticed that Sir Lancelot and Sir Gwaine are closer to Merlin than the other knights.
'They're also the most protective of him' Mordred thought dryly, a crease upon his brow as multiple ideas popped into his mind and many he shot down knowing it won't work.
"Well, I'll just have to hope the triple Goddess guides me." Mordred mumbled, he looked out into the hallway, Merlin was gone, most likely doing chores for the King.
Mordred chuckled as he continued walking, he would never understand the relationship Emrys and the once and future King had with each other. There were times they seem like close comrades begrudging in their respect for one another and then other times they would argue fondly like any old married couple.
Not surprising when plenty of townsfolk as well as even the nobles have speculated in the past if Merlin was being courted by Prince Arthur, to any outsider it certainly looked that way therefore Merlin was given the "mistress" treatment.
Now everyone are wondering(more like waiting impatiently) when will the King announce his engagement to Merlin.
"If I remember correctly, doesn't Sir Gwaine have a bet going on?"
Mordred pondered. 'Yeah, I'll definitely join in. There's no way they're NOT together. I mean, I've seen the lingering stares they give each other as if there is no one around them.'
Soon he was at the doors leading to the roundtable meeting, nodding at the vigilant guards they let him through. His eyes slowly moved over the knights, nobles and some commoners before landing on Merlin who was standing behind the King's chair.
An unassuming figure, most often underestimated but to those who know magic deeply or follow the old religion, Emrys entire being is a vast ocean of wild magic swirling in such a magnitude that no mere mortal could ever understand or harness the power Emrys wields.
Then he locked eyes with Merlin, there is no icy stare thankfully, yet he can still see a hint of wariness in his Lord's gaze.
He bowed his head in acknowledgement before finding a seat next to the gossiping pair Sir Percival and Sir Gwaine.
"I could be at a tavern right now, drinking and charming the barmaid Stella instead I'm stuck here." Gwaine said with a miffed face, his hand gripping the air imagining he was holding a mug of ale.
Elyan who sat across from Gwaine raised an eyebrow, "Isn't Stella old enough to be your grandmother?"
Gwaine smirked whilst shrugging. "Just like wine the older one gets the finer they become, besides she has experience, I'm sure there's a thing or two she could still teach mmph—"
Leon had reached over to clamp Gwaine's mouth shut.
The ginger haired knight had just about enough of hearing Gwaine's tavern tales of debauchery to which he thought was an inappropriate topic to be discussed or heard at the roundtable meeting.
"Sir Gwaine, leave your nightly talks at the tavern only, please."
Gwaine pulled Leon's hand away and smiled cheekily at the older knight.
"Oh, but wouldn't you like to know? Stella has mentioned she likes ginger haired men with beards and I bet she could show you—"
"I am going to strangle you—"
Gwaine leaned back avoiding Leon's hands from trying to keep him quiet again.
"Sir Leon I never knew you were this kinky, I think dear old Stella would like to feel your big strong hands—ack!"
Leon finally got him, unfortunately the meeting was starting, so Gwaine was safe from being throttled by him. However, tomorrow morning during training he'll get his chance.
Mordred along with the rest of the knights chuckled at Sir Gwaine's antics and Sir Leon's annoyed expression.

#also i know this is mostly platonic but they're my fave rare pair so (tag via @queerofthedagger)
I also love elyaine!!!!! I love their dynamic in any form - I love platonic and romantic both equally - so I didn't specify on purpose so it could apply to both! :D But I've been Thinking About Them (romantic flavoured) especially since I posted this, and we can add some flirting (and pining) for a little bit of spice. We can have the knights watching as these two losers spar both with sword and with words, shaking their heads. We can have Leon wondering, aloud, if they've figured themselves out yet and Percival saying "No. Gwaine made me peer-review ten jokes today." We can have Gwen giving Elyan some significant eyes and Elyan, very annoyed that his sister doesn't even pretend he's not transparent to her, say "yes, Gwen, SirGwaineOfCamelot" just like she did at the castle of fyrien. Merlin looks at Gwaine with raised eyebrows and Gwaine rolls his eyes so hard he almost brains himself on the castle wall.
And one day, Gwaine says something. He's not even trying. He doesn't even mean it to be a joke. Elyan laughs like it escaped out of his mouth and it surprises them both. He laughs a long, full belly laugh, wipes at his eyes and Gwaine stares at him in such awe and delight... But then Elyan's laugh peters off and Gwaine explodes, playful but outraged; "THAT? That made you laugh?"
Elyan just makes that "phew" noise a lot of people do after laughing long and loud, NO SHAME, and pats Gwaine on his shoulder almost like there's something Gwaine isn't getting, like you sweet summer child (Elyan's acting because he knows it will drive him crazy. For once, Gwaine doesn't pick up that Elyan's acting lol). Elyan walks off, unbothered, pep in his step. "Elyan! ElyaAAHn! ........ ELYAN. OI, GET BACK HERE--"
You know what I wish we had more of in bbc Merlin? More Gwaine and Elyan interactions. I wanted more character and friendship exploration of all the knights in general and individually, of course, BUT LISTEN we were robbed of the sort of banter Gwaine and Elyan could have had.
Elyan’s very sweet but he’s also incredibly deadpan. Gwaine of course has more to him than he lets on but he’s a bit of a clown, as we all know and any time he makes a quip or a joke, he’s often looking to those around him for a smile or a laugh. But I don’t think he’d be discouraged by Elyan’s lack of response. I think he’d be encouraged. Gwaine’s a very perceptive person and I’ve no doubt he would pick up on Elyan deliberately keeping his face - not neutral but “unimpressed” - right away. In fact, I think he’d absolutely DELIGHT in it, and also how sassy Elyan is. (I mean, you all remember his fake laugh that dropped into the most unamused face when the rest of the knights tossed around the water?). I think that both of them would find it FUN.
Gwaine would have to fight to get a smile (and not a snarky one or a smirk, a smile) and a laugh from Elyan and Elyan, knowing that’s what Gwaine wants, will resist purely on principle. I’m telling you, he would. Like, oh you want me to laugh? To chuckle? To guffaw? Just because of that, I won’t.
Leon and Percival and Lancelot pass the medieval popcorn about.
#elyaine#they're chef's kiss#give gwaine a man that makes him work for a laugh#and joins in on shenanigans#(elyan would then pretend he was trying to stop gwaine)#(elyan's a loyal knight and friend. until he's not)#Also can you imagine gwaine calling elyan a prince the way he called gwen a princess#they'd have the same reaction too. 'mmm not a prince'#elyan to percival 'gwaine's newest joke; calling me a prince and such; why'd he think that'd get a rise out of me?'#percival internally (i love my friends and would never hurt them. but these two resemble training dummies more each day)#the knights of the round table#sir elyan#bbc elyan#sir gwaine#bbc gwaine#gwaine x elyan#bbc merlin#merlin

You guys seem to like the Lansoni Generations au so here's some more
Gonna have to put a break for this one
Lancelot's time in the white void would be very interesting. He'd see his fellow knights, his own son, and yet they all seem foreign to him. Imagine Silver's surprise when Lancelot approaches him with mirth, greeting him with relief and fondness. "My son, you've been brought to this strange void as well? No matter, we must aid your father in his quest to restore this world. Wait, where is your armor?"
Silver goes through a mini crisis because A. This is decidedly NOT Shadow and he has no idea what to do about this imposter (Forces flashbacks), B. Said imposter seems to believe Silver is his SON for some reason, and finally C. He just implied SONIC is his other father???? He wonders if he's been transported to the wrong timeline.
Lancelot meanwhile is very confused. Galahad looks younger, a bright light that endured great tragedies unknown to him. It quickly becomes apparent this is not his son, but even so, he worries for the wellbeing of his son's lookalike.
When Sonic ends up passing through, Silver practically yanks him to the side to corner him about Lancelot. Sonic sheepishly tells him about his time in Camelot, skirting around the whole "Lancelot and me were a thing." Silver cuts to the chase and chastises him for messing with the timeline.
"Hey, in my defense, I didn't realize I was in the same timeline! I thought I got summoned into another world, honest!"
"Sonic, do you have any idea what that means? Historians could find the lost artifacts of Camelot and find your name instead of King Arthur!"
"I mean, I technically was the True King Arthur-"
"SONIC!"
What's done is done at this point, his influence far too great to the people of Camelot. Then Silver shifts the topic, instead questioning why he chose Sir Lancelot of all people.
"Sonic, listen, I'm not one to judge but-"
"Look I know they look practicaly identical but I promise you he's his own person!"
"Right, yeah. You gotta admit its a little odd, though! Not to mention I apparently look like your son? What's up with that?"
"… yeah honestly your guess is as good as mine on that one."
---
"So… any other familiar doppelgangers to your Lancelot?"
"Well, Blaze looks exactly like Sir Percival, Knuckles looks like Gawain, Amy looks like Lady Nimue, and Tails looks like the blacksmith back in Camelot. I'm not really sure how to break the news about Amy to Lance though.."
"News? Why, did something happen to Lady Nimue?"
"Nothing bad, it's just uh… she's his mom.. and my mother-in-law?"
"Ignoring the mother-in-law thing because I want some peace of mind for a moment, you're telling me Amy looks like his mom?"
"I know! It threw me off the first time, too! Not to mention they're so different from each other. It'll be like a switch flipped for poor Lance.."
"Alright loverboy, go get Lancelot and I can attempt to help explain the situation."

"King Arthur hasn't had a mother for a long time - not for sixty years or more" So not only the Lancelot-Grail, but De Troyes also has Old Man Arthur? Why do you think there is reluctance to show an agéd Arthur, because apparently that's what authors and illuminators had in mind.
To answer:
You generally don't think of your staple characters as elderly people, you think of them in their idealized primes. Superman and Batman, for example, are generally not portrayed as old people, despite nearly having a century's worth of stories. Unless there's a specific story purpose, we prefer to imagine them to be in their prime as adults (in the 20s or 30s range) in any given story. Similarly, the adventures associated with King Arthur and his court are generally imagined to be somewhen in the middle of his reign, in between his rise and his fall.
The general order of events - of when does any specific story arc occur in the timeline - is whatever the writers want it to be. As repeated endlessly here in Tumblr and elsewhere, the Arthurian Canon is fluid. It's fanfiction. It's fundamentally a floating timeline of whatever the storytellers want to include for the purposes of their individual telling. The Final Battle of Camlann could have happened when Arthur didn't have grey hair yet and no one would have cared. There are stories where Lancelot does not exist as character and stories where Lancelot exists but the Grail Quest already happened before he joined (as implied to be in the Non-cyclical Lancelot).
Now why no Old Man Arthur in general? Because naturally there are different reasons why: "by the time he's old, its already Camlann and the Grail Quest is long done already" "We like to imagine Arthur is a magical timeless king" "Because Le Morte D'Arthur doesn't saying anything about the character's ages" "Because King Arthur's reign is short in our version' "Because we didn't think of it. We didn't think of anything in relation to order of events - and it's not important anyway"
Besides that, Vulgate cycle and Conte du Graal are the only few works to mentions Arthur's advanced age. And for Vulgate, remember that Arthur is 92 years old at the end of the story/Mort Artu, not during the Grail Quest.
In regards to Conte du Graal, remember that Chretien de Troyes never wrote anything relating to the fall of Camelot. We don't know when Conte occurs in relation to Arthur's timeline. Conte du Graal is just an independent one-shot story - starring a brand new OC Sir Percival - set in King Arthur's world. (That sadly never got finished)

Honestly,out of all the tua crossover ideas I’ve seen,none would top the chaos of a umbrella academy and merlin crossover
Imagine this
-Five accidentally teleports all his family back in time to the medieval times to the land of Camelot ,they’re all very confused and wander through town where they see a public wizard trial,which tells them magic is a thing in this world.
-Five spends their entire time there trying to keep Luther away from a knight that looks suspiciously similar to him,to avoid the possibility of paradox psychosis and then them fighting eachother to the death.When five gets tired of this,he just proceeds to knock sir Percival out and hide him in a cupboard.
-Luther gets treated very nice around the town as everyone believes him to be a noble.This draws the attention of merlin who was told by the dragon that mysterious travellers have come to Camelot.Merlin find confronts five and a fight ensues,but it ends in merlin learning they mean no harm and just want to go home.Feeling bad for them,merlin agrees to help them and tells five to assemble his family.
-Luther,under the guise of sir Percival,also meets King Arthur who’s fresh off his fathers death,they both talk about their families,how their fathers treated them and have a jousting match,which Luther so badly,it makes Arthur laugh and thank him for playing the fool for him.
-Meanwhile,klaus and Diego go immediately to the tavern to have drinks,where they meet sir gwaine and they all get along relatively well,becoming drinking buddies.This is until a bar fight insues bc they can’t pay their tab and klaus summons ghosts to fend them off.
-This gets him arrested and put in the dungeons for being a wizard,Diego also gets punished and put in the stocks for associating with a wizard (the punishment was meant to be more but Arthur was talked down by Luther and Gwaine),which five uses as an opportunity to pelt him with fruit for getting himself and klaus arrested.
-Allison and Viktor get captured by Lady Morgana,who tries to enlist them after hearing about Allison use their rumour trick to get food at the market.They reluctantly agree and are put on their first mission,to free and enlist a powerful sorcerer who stands trial at Camelot.
-The whole thing comes together as they all arrive at klaus’ public execution,where they try and fail to try him as a wizard,as he is immortal,popping up quite quickly from the execution and terrifying all the crowd and the king
-This distraction,with a little fire and showmanship from merlin,gives them the opportunity to break klaus free,with Diego and five warding off the angry crowd with swords,while Luther distracts the knights in the castle.
-When the crowd get too hard to handle, Viktor knocks them down with their sound wave and Allison then rumours all the town and the king to go home and forget the days events
-They all head to gaisus chambers,and with the help of merlin magic to pinpoint their location,travels them back to 2019

The idea that he was not Sir Percival Glyde at all, that he had no more claim to the baronetcy and to Blackwater Park than the poorest labourer who worked on the estate, had never once occurred to my mind. At one time, I had thought he might be Anne Catherick’s father; at another time I had thought he might have been Anne Catherick’s husband—the offence of which he was really guilty had been, from first to last, beyond the widest reach of my imagination. The paltry means by which the fraud had been effected, the magnitude and daring of the crime that it represented, the horror of the consequences involved in its discovery, overwhelmed me. Who could wonder now at the brute-restlessness of the wretch’s life; at his desperate alternations between abject duplicity and reckless violence; at the madness of guilty distrust which had made him imprison Anne Catherick in the Asylum, and had given him over to the vile conspiracy against his wife, on the bare suspicion that the one and the other knew his terrible secret? The disclosure of that secret might, in past years, have hanged him—might now transport him for life. The disclosure of that secret, even if the sufferers by his deception spared him the penalties of the law, would deprive him, at one blow, of the name, the rank, the estate, the whole social existence that he had usurped. This was the Secret, and it was mine! A word from me; and house, lands, baronetcy, were gone from him for ever—a word from me, and he was driven out into the world, a nameless, penniless, friendless outcast! The man’s whole future hung on my lips—and he knew it by this time as certainly as I did!

The Seventh Day of Christmas ~ Sir Percival
Prompt: Lifting one up to place the star on top of the tree
Pairing: Sir Percival x reader
Warnings: None
Word Count: 459
A/N: Ah to be lifted off my feet by this beautiful man.
A flash of red and gold went whizzing past your head as you ducked slightly to avoid the projectile. There was some shouting and a rushed apology from Gwaine that you mostly ignored as your focus remained on the box in front of you. The incident was forgotten a moment later as more tinsel and the odd bauble was tossed around the room.
“You alright?”
As you glanced up, you were met with Percival’s sweet smile. You nodded quickly, fighting your own grin as you pulled out a few bells from the box in your lap, “I think I’ve spent enough time with you lot that I can handle anything.” Percival chuckled as he reached down and grabbed some garland from a nearby box. The two of you worked in silence as you decorated the large tree, chaos ensuing behind you as Leon tried to keep some control over Gwaine and Elyan, who had broken into a full on war of Christmas decorations.
You ducked under Percival’s arm as he strung garland over the top branches, being careful not to disturb the bells you had hung. His hand brushed yours as his arms dropped back to his side and you smiled to yourself before moving back to the nearly empty box. There was one thing left and you reached down with gentle hands, pulling the blown glass star from the paper it had been wrapped in. Percival watched as light danced in your eyes while you surveyed the tree topper before standing on your toes and reaching up to put it into place. You stumbled slightly as you tried to stretch your arm farther, still coming up short.
There was a gentle pressure on your waist and then your feet were in the air. Your grip on the star tightened as your head snapped down to see Percival grinning at you. He nodded to the tree and you quickly put the star in place, taking a moment to straighten it before nodding your head. Percival gently lowered you to the ground, your feet hitting the stone floor with a quiet thud. His hands remained in place, the warmth of his skin starting to seep through your clothes. Slowly, you turned until you were looking up into his eyes. He was still grinning as his eyes danced between your own and your parted lips. He leaned closer, his breath fanning over your cheek as yours stopped.
A heap of tinsel was thrown over the pair of you, invading your sight and breaking your eye contact. You could hear Percival sigh as he swiped the shiny decorations off of you. Laughter faded into the background as your eyes locked again and you giggled quietly, causing Percival’s smile to stretch, “Merry Christmas.”

so like????? Jisung in the WR series lives alone???? Like I know being a nurse pays well but like mentally how does he deal with that? Do you plan on your version also being a social anxiety little jelly bean of a boy?
how often does Jisung have sleepovers with 1) just Minho when they both lived alone and 2)now that kitten has moved in? Did mitten upgrade their bed size to accommodate for the on and off Jisung? Once everyone had their own places, was clothing for each person kept at everyone apartment? What about favorite snacks? Does Sir Percival ever get upset if a different scent is on any of the trio (excluding pretty’s obvi)? Does Sir P join comfort nest? I have the cute mental image of him bringing his little blankie into the nest too
"Do you plan on your version also being a social anxiety little jelly bean of a boy?" short answer: yeah!
i feel like it's very important for his character🤌
as for how he deals with that... i think he also needs his space. like, he's clingy and loves being with his loved ones, but he probably also needs quiet time with himself when he's overwhelmed.
now, to answer the rest of the questions:
how often did he and Minho have sleepovers when they were both living alone... i'd say more often than people might've think. Jisung surely had a copy of Minho's keys and knew his door code so i imagine he'd sometimes sneak into Minho's flat and just... tuck himself into bed. Minho was more than used to it. after kitten moves in...... i'm sure it'll take a couple of Incidents for Jisung to learn to give at least a five minutes heads up before dropping by and also to be really loud when he opens the door LOL mind you, i think he does this with everyone in the pack tbh. there's always someone willing to let him in when he needs it because Affection is very important to him. with that being said, it isn't like he's sleeping with someone every night. like i explained earlier, he also needs his space, so i can totally see him going to someone's flat and later returning home after borrowing a t-shirt or two for his nest...
i think mitten's bed is big enough already. they'll just be a bit more crammed but they fit, all three of them + sir P.
yes. articles of clothing are exchanged often, especially for the omegas of the pack.
i honestly haven't thought of a favourite snack for anyone sdfjkskjfh (human or canine...) but i suppose at least pretty will try to keep something for everyone in her and chris' flat.
Sir Percival does get annoyed at scents that aren't jimitten's or pretty's, but he'll probably learn to live with it. that just means that whenever they're home he'll just try to scent everyone because, well... he's a cat.
yes. yes Sir P joins comfort nests. he likes to pretend he's all cranky and independent, but he loves his little family. Jisung and Minho included. after all, he's known them for most of his life and he's an old man...... so that's a long time. 100% agree on that blankie thing omg. how adorable

Ooo PercyxMarcus for that who's the x who's the y ship meme
Ooh, yay! I'm assuming you mean all of the AUs, so here we go! 🥰
who’s the werewolf and who’s the hunter
Percy is the werewolf, and Marcus is the hunter who was raised to hate them. He believes werewolves are monsters until he meets Percy and then his whole world gets turned upside down. He realizes that his family was wrong, and now he has to stand up to them to save Percy's life and do what's right. Though it would be even better if it was werewolf Percy and vampire Marcus. 😭
who’s the mermaid and who’s the fisherman
Percy is the mermaid, and Marcus is the fisherman. I want hurt Percy who got caught in a net and a flustered Marcus nursing him back to health. Marcus seems all gruff and grumpy and intimidating, but pretty Percy finds it adorable and can tell that Marcus is actually very sweet underneath his grouchy exterior.
who’s the witch and who’s the familiar
Ooh, interesting. I could see this both ways, but I'm going with Percy is the witch, and Marcus is his familiar in the form of a giant, intimidating dog, which freaks everyone else out, but Percy loves it! (Think "scary boyfriend privileges.") I could totally picture Marcus barking at the twins and Oliver every time they try to talk to Percy (though for very different reasons).
who’s the barista and who’s the coffee addict
Ooh, I could see barista Percy, but you know that Percy would be addicted to coffee, so it's got to be barista Marcus. I want an overworked, frazzled Percy who is barely functioning, and then there's Marcus - this gorgeous barista who always has Percy's drink waiting for him with some type of biscuit or sandwich because he's realized that Percy forgets to eat otherwise. In Percy's mind, Marcus is an angel, but Marcus just thinks the gorgeous redhead in a suit is smart and sophisticated and way out of his league. Cue meddling friends. 🤣
who’s the professor and who’s the TA
I'm not a huge fan of this type of AU (like at all), but Percy is the professor, and Marcus is the TA.
who’s the knight and who’s the prince(ss)
Percy has to be the knight (he's literally named after Sir Percival), and Marcus is the prince (even if his family isn't rich, they probably have more money/power than the Weasleys).
Oooh, but to flip this around, imagine Marcus being the Troll Prince (maybe in this AU, trolls aren't as tall, violent, or stupid, but instead, they're more like Vikings; or Marcus' family could be royalty because they're only part Troll so they can interact best with the other kingdoms).
Percy is sent to fight Marcus by the human king (Dumbledore) who spreads the message that these hedonistic savages need to be taken out. Percy originally agrees, but once he meets Marcus, he realizes that there's more to the story than he thought.
who’s the teacher and who’s the single parent
This is tough too, because I love single parent Percy, but I can't picture Marcus as a teacher, so single parent Marcus it is. He got someone pregnant from a one night stand, but they decided not to keep the baby, so Marcus is raising him/her on his own. I imagine this child adoring Percy as their teacher and wanting to invite him over for dinner, ice cream, movies, etc. Marcus may or may not be encouraging this.
who’s the writer and who’s the editor
I love writer Percy, but I have to go with writer Marcus, whose ideas are great but his grammar is atrocious, so most people won't give him a chance. Editor Percy does though, sticking his neck on the line with his company, but with his help, Marcus ends up becoming highly successful.
These inspired me, so I have a few new ideas for stories! Thanks for the ask! 😊

AM SO EXCITED FOR WOMAN IN WHITE UPDATE
Rambles below
Oh man I can’t imagine how unnerving it must be to see someone who looks like You But After Much Suffering—if Laura didn’t know about Anne already, she’d probably come across like some specter of herself from the future
Can’t stop with the Corpse Bride references. This feels like if Emily had the chance to warn Victoria about Lord Barkis
'I am here because you are married. I am here to make atonement to you, before I meet your mother in the world beyond the grave.' NOOOOO DONT DIE
(but Emily vibes intensify)
“I have left the only friend I have in the world, anxious and frightened about me—“ Walter reference???
“If you know his Secret, he will be afraid of you, he won't dare use you as he used me. He must treat you mercifully for his own sake, if he is afraid of you and your friends.” OH???? this is JUICY
OF COURSE they’re interrupted before Laura is told The Secret (love the capitalization)
I bet it was Count Fosco
“I will get my journal, and you shall see if I am right or wrong." Ah yes the Harker methodology!
The fact they are never more afraid than when Sir Percival is being polite…the most chilling thing in this book
“not as poor Hartright used to praise it, with an innocent enjoyment of the sweet sounds,” my boy….I miss him…
Oh boy Fosco overheard Anne and is doing his utmost to prevent her meeting with Laura and Sir Percival is gonna go there instead huh 😰 This suspense through parlor games and flattery is KILLING me
“I ran out through the low window which was open before me to the ground—ran out to hide from them in the darkness, to hide even from myself.”
AUGH IT ENDING BEFORE THE BOATHOUSE MEETING…And now another week of Suspense

Imagine that Sir Topham Hatt, Mr Percival and Sir Robert Norramby realize that Fergus Duncan does not have a girlfriend, the two controllers and the Earl start putting up posters looking for a girlfriend for Fergus duncan throughout the island
(Okay, after getting that one INTERESTING ask from an asshole anon, you just made my day better. Thank you very much and also, I love your ttte art of the ttte furballs)
I headcanon Fergus Duncan as aromantic (Because I like projecting parts of myself onto my favorite fictional characters) so having him see the two controllers and the fucking Earl start trying to find him a girlfriend would have him like this:
(Honestly I can't blame him I mean, guys at my school at literally trying to hit me up but hey. To each their own I guess.)
