Merlin telling Arthur he’s so repressed that they’ve both nearly died for each other countless times but can’t even hug him, and Arthur being like WTAF, we’ve hugged, Merlin. You smelled like a bog, and I remember it clearly because it was the greatest moment of my life. I even pressed my nose into your muddy neck IN FRONT OF GWAINE.
Arthur’s upset that their hug was so meaningless to Merlin that he forgot it, and Merlin swears he will get revenge upon Morgana for stealing it from him.
Still no one talks about the magic because it’s BBC Merlin.

I was minding my own goddamn business only to suddenly remember this scene exists
I don't know how to explain it, but it's addressing something so visceral in me.
Like. Did anyone ever expand on how Arthur literally didn't even blink before getting up to save Merlin from the onslaught he would have faced for his outrage? He just got up immediately and took Merlin away, held and handled his anger, and even gave him the respite (visiting Gaius) that he needed.
Wtf. Like boy no you're not supposed to be this fucking in sync with your manservant's reactions. But it's as if he predicted it even, because he saw in Merlin the exact same reaction he wanted to do, but had the tact not to because he grew up with boundaries. So he goes on to save his boy instead.
Sick of how much these two loved each other

Still the little baby
Tumblr media
Arthur Leclerc Charles Leclerc Lorenzo Leclerc Pascale Leclerc & Leclerc!reader
Summary - The Leclerc little sister is going out, much to her brother’s dismay
Warning - violence, crying
-
A random Friday night during the summer night, the little Leclerc was getting ready for a date. She had bought a new dress especially for the occasion, a dress that she hoped her brother wouldn’t see her wearing. With curled hair and little natural makeup, Y/n picked up her small bag.
Checking herself in the body length mirror, before slipping into her heels. Arthur and Charles were watching a movie in the living room, Lorenzo out with his girlfriend and Pascale was over her friends house for drinks.
Stepping down the stairs, quietly as possible so her brothers wouldn’t notice her sneaking out. Taking advantage of the loud sound of violence, Y/n ran to the front door.
Slipping out, the teen made her way into town to meet up with her date.
-
“I had a great night Tom, I’d love to do it again” Y/n could be seen walking down the street after coming out of the restaurant.
Hand in hand the two continued walk down the street. “Me too. You’re a really sweet and hot girl, I’d love to get to know you more” His hand finding her cheek, as they both stared deep into each others eyes.
Leaning up, the two connected lips into a soft kiss.
However that only lasted until a pair of arms curled around Y/n’s waist, pulling her away and into a tight hug. Before she or her date, Tom, could process what happened, a fist collided with his cheek. Stumbling over due to the impact.
“Keep your hands of my baby sister!” Arthur’s angered voice had managed to bring Y/n back to reality, looking over her shoulder and seeing Charles looking just as angry.
Pushing his hand off of her, she made her way over to the slightly confused boy. “Wtf, I am on a date! And you two decide to ruin it for me!”
She pulled up Tom, quick to check his swelling nose which had blood pool down out of his nostrils. “Are you okay?” Y/n had visibly concerned interwoven in her voice.
The two older brothers watched on the couple, both protectiveness and regretful fresh on their minds. They didn’t want their baby sister to date, this was something that meant she was growing up.
“Yeah um…I think um. I think I’m gonna head home…bye” Tom was quick to run off before any of the Leclerc could say anything.
Y/n stood by watching her date run off, holding his nose. She felt tears brimming her waterline.
“Look ange, we were just protecting you” Charles’ sheepish voice piped up. “You never know what will happen. He might of-“ He cut himself off when Y/n raised her head, eyes showing her annoyance.
“Comment oses-tu penser que tu peux faire ça!” She drew in a long breath. “He was really sweet, paid for my meal. And walking me home! Right I’m going home, to my room. So fuck off”
Speechless. The brothers were speechless as the crying girl walked herself home.
-
Later that evening after the three youngest arrived home, Pascale came through the front door. She noticed her two youngest boys sat on the sofa in shame. “What’s got you to so shamefully mes garçons?”
Charles sighed before telling his mother the truth, she nodded along patently. “So now she is in her room. And I think she’s crying.”
Pascale was a bit annoyed that her sons ruined her only daughters date however equally proud that Arthur and Charles had that love for her daughter. “Ok well I’m not mad, truthful I’m proud. Proud that you two are looking out for your sister. However, she is growing up and you have to let her out of the bird nest sometimes”
The two listened to their mother intently. “Right I’m going to go and check on her. I’ll talk to her for you”
-
“Mon bébé please can I come in?” Pascale softly knocked on Y/n’s door. Without a response, she took her entrance. On the bed, lay Y/n still dressed in her outfit and makeup smeared down her face.
She had her childhood teddy bear in arms. The teddy bear Lorenzo got for her when Pascale had announced her pregnancy.
“Maman, all I was doing was going on an innocent date but then they showed up and ruined it” The once dried tears had started to flow once again.
“I know bébé, you nor your date did nothing wrong. It’s just that your brothers are very protective and loving of you, and you’re still the little baby to them. So please take it easy on them, they feel horrible” Y/n nodding her head understandingly.
“I’m going to go see them…” Y/n peeled herself away from her bed, teddy bear in hand. She made her way down the stairs, before reaching the living room.
Almost as if on cue, Arthur and Charles raised their heads to see Y/n walking. They had a sort of déjà vu, their little sister walking up to them clutching her teddy bear.
“I’m sorry…” Her timid voice, a contrast to earlier. Her big brother tackled her into a hug, wanting nothing more than comforting their little sister.
“It’s okay, we just wanted to protect you” Arthur shushed her continuous apologies.
-
That evening, Lorenzo had returned home from his girlfriend’s house to a surprising site. Y/n still holding her teddy bear, her head laid on Charles shoulder and legs across Arthur’s lap, deep into sleep. Unlike their sister, Arthur and Charles were both still awake.
“What happened? What did you guys do?” Lorenzo asked in a hushed manner. Noticing the dried smeared makeup down Y/n’s face.
“Long story…I’m sure she’ll tell you in the morning” Charles replied in the same hushed tone.

“Just being in your arms takes me back to that little farm”
Tumblr media
Christmas was around the corner.
Or maybe in a few couple days.
In reality, it was more than a month away.
November, 1st of November, and everything turned a mix of red, white and green. The colors of your favorite time of the year.
Your hands were covered in bags, and the bags filled with presents for all of your loved ones. It was barely afternoon, but you had woken up since 6am to be at stores as quick as you could.
Every single present was planned, even if it’s one time they mentioned they wanted it, or something they’ve been dying for since forever. Your presents were always the best, and everyone knew that.
After you buyed some great amount of gift wrapping, you finally headed home.
You knew you’d take a long time to get home, holiday shopping traffic was surely starting now.
Just a day after halloween and you knew you had to make everything green and white, and hella lot of red.
The rest of the day was for yourself, your family, and for making everything festive. Changing your bedsheets from black to red. Having christmas decorations over the entrance of your house.
The only thing that was missing, was the Christmas tree.
The very thing you waited for all year long.
You weren’t sure if it was the smell, or the shape. But the journey to find the tree, that was all you needed for Christmas.
You closed your eyes, and that silly little Christmas tree farm was the only thing you pictured.
-
“Sweetie, it’s time to go, they’re here!” My mom screamed from downstairs.
shit
I finished drying my hair, since I had just showered. Quickly, I grabbed all the extra clothes I needed for the cold weather outside.
I rushed downstairs, grabbing a beanie I had by the door in the way.
I could see at the corner of my eye the whole place covered in a blanket of snow.
“Oh, we are ready to go now!” I heard my dad shout as I was locking the door soon a lot of footsteps.
“Took you long enough” I heads a calm voice behind me.
I turned around to see the face I’ve been missing so much. I quickly jumped into his arms. “I’ve missed you too, asshole.” I whispered in his ear. He chuckled, making my whole body shiver with excitement.
“Missed you too, you have no idea.”
I let him go, taking a good look at him. His dimples showing up, and his white pearled teeth shining at me.
I couldn’t hide my smile, he was finally here.
A honk interrupted my thinking. “Come on you two, we want to get early this year!” I heard Lorenzo screaming from his car.
We both rushed to it, my dad, mom and Pascale left in the other car. While the Leclerc’s, my brother and I traveled in this car.
“Hey y/n!” Lorenzo smiled at me through the car mirror “Sup!” Arthur gave me a wave from the co-pilot seat.
“Hi!” I responded as I settled into my seat, putting on my seat belt. Lorenzo wasn't the best driver around.
“So, how was everything both of you? Did you miss us?” My brother started a conversation.
“It’s been crazy! All I could ever imagine, it literally felt like a dream”
“Yeah, all the behind the scenes is absolutely crazy, definitely learned a lot from the team, I think white looks good on us” Arthur completed.
“But, do you know what will look even better?”
“Red!” We all said in union and laughed.
Charles had won the new Ferarri seat for the 2019 season, and we were all so proud of him.
“We all saw you at your races, y/n was the first one to wake up and put on the tv, always.” My brother, Matthias tried to tease me.
Charles turned to look at me with a grin plastered in his face.
“Okeyy, I’m a morning person, alright? What is wrong with that?” I answered normally.
Yeah, I am a morning person, but I would normally go walking on my mornings or maybe do some exercise, not stay home watching tv.
But if Charles was on it, there was no way I would miss it.
“If you say sooo” I leaned out of my seat to look at Matt, since he was on the other side of the car. Charles was in the middle.
“okay.” He quietly answered to my glare.
“Anyway, so what is the first thing you want to do when we get there?” Lorenzo asked from the pilot seat, concentrated on not crashing.
“The sleighs”
“The horses!”
“Maybe we should get the trees first” Charles said calmly, looking at the road ahead.
“Yeah, you know how quickly they buy them, we should get the best two around.” I smiled at them, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Charles was right, the biggest, greenest and beautiful trees were obviously taken as soon as possible.
Last winter we were left with not the best tree because we all got distracted doing something else.
“So, we all know the drill, right?” Arthur asked, turning to look at the three of us in the back.
I smirked, this was going to be fun.
-
“Maman, papa are with Pascale, I texted them. They are going to wait for you, Enzo”
And with that, we arrived to the parking lot, and thank god we found a good place to park in, I did not want to walk too much after the whole day.
We always end up exhausted.
“Everyone get their phones at maximum volume, if someone calls answer immediately!” We all agreed.
“Go go go gooo!”
I opened the door as fast as I could, and waited for Charles to get out, but in a blink of an eye he already grabbed my hand and started to run to the barns direction.
I was slowly catching to his pace.
Shit he was faster than last year.
He finally stopped at the start of the trees. “Well, we have a lot of options”
Charles was concentrated on watching every single tree in front of us, scrunching his nose in a very cute way.
“Yeah… we better go looking”
-
Half an hour. A whole 30 minutes we were looking for the damn trees.
All of us took this very seriously.
“Too short”
“Too tall”
“Ew, that’s ugly.”
“Never liked the ones with fake snow.”
“Not fluffy enough”
“Oh come on, there is no way an ornament will look good in that.”
Every time there was an excuse. That was until Arthur and Matthias called us saying they found the 1st one.
Then my maman and papa called right after just to say they finally found another one, the most ‘perfect’ in the place.
In the pictures they sent to us, they looked so cute and wonderful. Surely there was no complaining at all.
So the Christmas tree hunt was over. And now we could peacefully walk around the place.
Charles and I walked silently to our favorite place here, it was somewhere close to the icy and blue ice rink.
Some small open cabins were there, just so people could get somewhere to get warm, and to lit up a bonfire.
The temperatures here were no joke.
Charles and I were basically freezing, even if we had the mittens that his mom made for us last year.
I snuggled into my sweater as I waited for charles to set the bonfire.
“You cold?”
“Mhm” he laughed at my state, I always get easily cold, but that doesn’t mean I hate winter.
It’s actually the exact opposite.
“Your nose is red as a tomato.” He pinched my nose.
“Hey!” He shrugged and smiled while he gave me his white scarf. “Thanks…”
I was now hypnotized by the dancing fire, and Charles came closer, having his arm touching mine.
“I wish you could’ve come with me” He whispered.
“To your races?”
“Everywhere, I needed you there.” He sweetly smiled at me. But I hit him in his arm “ow? What was that for?” He laughed at me.
“For all the times you were reckless and almost gave me a heart attack!… but, I would’ve loved being there with you too, you know that”
He chuckled, since we were little, when he was karting I would always be there for him when he crashed or just had a bump on the way.
Always.
But now we were talking about F1, something people should not play with. Cars that go at a speed I can’t even think.
So, yeah, I obviously had my nearly death experiences while watching the tv and having Charles crashing out of nowhere.
But here he was, next to me and I could now feel his warmth.

charles pov.
Missing her is just an understatement, he needed her. Every day it passed without her was absolutely devastating.
Yeah, they texted and called often, but there was nothing like having her by his side.
At this point she’s the air he need to breathe, it was like the sun finally appearing after long rainy days.
She was the first person he called when he got into Ferrari, she was the one who he texted in the middle of the night when he couldn’t sleep.
Charles didn’t even know how much he needed her till she wasn’t by his side anymore.
How do I even tell her?
She’s at my side, peacefully watching the bonfire while I am dying inside to tell her how much se makes me feel.
“Hey…” I started, I don’t even know what Im fucking going to say.
She turned her head to look at me, and tilted her head while shining her big gorgeous eyes at me.
I gulped. She stopped the world completely by just looking at me.
“Are you ok? You look like you’ve seen a ghost” she laughed, and the ends of my lips turned upwards.
“Here, let’s go take some hot cocoa, maybe it’ll help you relax”
She stood up and offered me her hand, and I took it hesitatingly, if I don't do it now when will I do it? I can’t just not tell her.
“Oh god, you’re even paler now.” She looked a bit worried.
“Come on big boy, you will be fine, follow me”
I grunted, but she didn’t stop moving. The cold air hitting us as soon as we left the warmth of the bonfire.
“Here, with marshmallows, just how you like it Charlie.” She showed her teeth at me handing a warm cup of hot chocolate.
“Feeling better?” She placed a falling piece of her hair behind her her ear after taking a sip from her own cup.
“More than ever” I replied.
She looked directly into my eyes, god I could melt right now.
“What was it that you were saying?”
I almost choked.
“Ugh, nothing important”
“Must be, you can always count on me Charlie.” She placed her delicate hand on top of mine.
Charlie, she has called me that since we were little. My parents and hers were friends since forever, and I guess we just followed.
“I just, was thinking about when I was away. Uh, I was just thinking about this… girl.”
-
ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴏᴠ
I felt a sting on my chest
But that is does the mean anything, right?
“Oh” i just managed to say, I looked at my feet just so I couldn’t meet his angelic eyes.
who am I even fooling at this point?
“It’s just, I really, really want her to be more to me than she is now. I just don’t know how to tell her.”
Cool.
Cool cool cool cool cool… cool.
“I mean, I don’t know, what is she like?” I looked everywhere just to not look at him.
But I’m pretty sure he must be distracted thinking about this girl.
why am I feeling like this?
“Well” he chuckled. “She’s like, the best woman I’ve ever met. She gets me, and she’s so creative and funny and everything great in this world...”
My heart was slowly breaking by each compliment he gave her.
“…I just want her by my side.”
“Just tell her, if you feel all… this, maybe you should just tell her”
It’s the first time I’ve heard him talk about a girl like this, heck, he even called her a woman.
I finally looked up at him, just to find out he was already looking at me.
His eyes shined with that sparkling light he had. I could resist the smile creeping up my cheeks already.
“Really? I’m just afraid I’ll screw everything up.” He concluded.
“Any girl would be nuts to say no to you.”
His cheeks turned a slightly darker red. I could feel my cheeks burning already.
But I had to stop myself, this isn’t you who he is talking about.
I turned around, I need to take a breath.
“y/n…” he grabbed me by the wrist to turn me around. I met, once again, with her dreamy eyes.
“Yes?” I quietly replied.
“You know who I’m talking about, right?” He raised an eyebrow at me, and gave me a look I couldn’t quite figure out was trying to say.
I shook my head side slowly. I felt my eyes watering.
I looked around just so that he couldn’t catch my glossy eyes.
But I met with a mistletoe just over a head. I opened my mouth in awe.
I felt a shift in the ambiance, I looked back at Charles and saw him smiling showing his dimples.
He was looking at the mistletoe above us.
“I can’t, I just can’t anymore y/n.”
what?
He met my gaze and took both of my hands, I could feel them over my mittens.
“Since we were kids, there was something about you, the is something about you that has always made my heart skip a beat.”
This isn’t happening.
I could feel my mouth slowly forming a smile.
“And I’ve always thought it was normal for me to feel like this with you. But god, being away from you has been hell. I need you, I can’t conform with just texting and calling.”
“Maybe this might sound selfish, but I don’t even want to picture you with someone else who is not me. I thought it was a little crush, but heck, you make me feel this way every single time and I never get tired of it.”
I was completely speechless.
This is happening.
“It’s ok if you don’t feel the same way, but it physically hurts to not tell you how much you actually mean to me. I’d be a fool not to tell you how special you are.”
At this point I started crying.
I cupped his face in my hands.
“What i’m trying to say is… I love you. More than I’ve ever loved anyone.”
I was left with words, I’ve never been good at telling my feelings.
But I am good at showing them.
I slowly looked up at the mistletoe, and he followed my eyes.
I bit my lip. And furrowed my eyebrows asking him with signs, not words.
“Please” he quietly begged. I didn’t even had to think it twice.
I crashed my lips into his, expressing every single ounce of love I had for him. He followed.
It was the most magical night of the year.
-
Under the sparkling lights, bundled up in their mittens and coats, sweet dreams of holly and ribbons…
The couple finally found their way together, and their souls finally united and all their wishes came true.
Their love was blooming, and it all started in that little Christmas tree farm.

[ID: A doodle page for the Malevolent podcast, featuring several sketches of Arthur, John, Kayne, The King in Yellow, and Yellow. More detailed description in ALT Text.]
Bringing y'all my mid-season 3 Malevolent arts because this podcast has a grip on me. Featuring my Kayne design because I have SOOO many thoughts about that freak <3 his voice sounds a bit similar to Arthur to me and so I thought it might be fun if he was mocking the lads by wearing Arthur's face. As of s3 we have no idea wtf Kayne is supposed to be, anyways, but altering his form doesn't seem to be a power that's off the table. Also the concept of John not recognizing Arthur's face on a happier, less scarred form makes me want to throw up :) hope this helps!

Look, I love BBC Merlin and how they told the lore, but I’m a sucker for the relationship between Arthur and Mordred in the mythology. Specifically, I love how Mary Stewart (author of The Arthurian Saga**) and Nancy Springer (author of I Am Mordred**) wrote about the father/son relationship between them. So naturally, my brain has been conjuring up how I can include that in my Flipping the Coin au.
Since the main premise is Merlin died/Arthur lives, and now Arthur is the one waiting for Merlin to come back, things would stay consistent with canon up to the last episode (when Merlin flips the coin of their destiny and sacrifices himself so Arthur can live and thus stop Camlann from happening altogether). Which is where this idea will start:
Gwen is barren. She and Arthur never have kids. Eventually, everyone Arthur knows and loves dies. He can’t rule Camelot forever, and after Gwen’s death, he no longer wants to, so he fakes his death and wanders off figure out why he’s still here. He never gets an answer for that. Arthur spends the next millennium waiting. He keeps living. He meets people, experiences things he’d never experienced before, and learns things he’d never dreamed of learning. He can’t stay anywhere long, or else suspicions will rise, but he gets to see the world change, how technology advances, and witness humans continuing to be humans. When war breaks out, he joins the battle. It’s familiar. The rush of adrenaline is the same whether he’s wielding a sword or a gun. Only, he can’t see the enemy’s face anymore.
Peace comes again. At some point, he sleeps with a woman, and she happens to become pregnant. Bisexual disaster that he is, he’s had all sorts of partners from both sexes, but has never had this happen, even before the advent of reliable birth control. Later, he’ll learn her name is Morgause. She doesn’t look like the Morgause he knew before, nor does she act like her, but her name haunts him. After the baby is born, she gives him to Arthur, says she has no intentions of being a mother, and leaves. The last thing she had said to him was the baby’s name.
Mordred.
That night, Arthur holds Mordred and weeps.
There is irony in his son being named Mordred. First, in that the legends surrounding him, Merlin, Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, and all of it, had long ago decided Mordred was his son. And two, in a retelling of that legend, it had aptly phrased what he sensed was happening now. Granted, he isn’t a sorcerer, he doesn’t have magic, so he can’t support his feeling with anything other than he’d been around a long time and knew to his very core that it was true. Mordred’s birth is a signal of the beginning of the end.
Fatherhood brings him a new sense of purpose. Gone are the days of loneliness and drudgery. Every day with Mordred brings a new light into his life. Each smile is a miracle. Seeing Mordred experience things for the first time brings a new appreciation. Being there to watch him grow makes time fly like it never has before. But Arthur is afraid. He doesn’t want to be his father. He doesn’t know how to be a father, or what the right way to do it is. In all the years he’s been on the Earth, he’s never known a man who could concretely say, “This is the way to raise a son,” and actually reap the fruits of their efforts. Too frequently, he’d seen sons grow outside of the visions their fathers molded for them and receive only disappointment and disdain in return. So he was afraid, because he too had been that son.
*cue a series of fluffy father/son one shots of Arthur raising Mordred until Merlin comes back, takes one look, and is is like WTF????? No, I won’t have Mordred for a step son >:(*
**Mary Stewart and Nancy Springer have several other works, not just the stories I mentioned. The ones mentioned are the ones I’m pulling inspiration from ^^
Additional notes below the break:
Guinevere’s barrenness is not a headcanon I typically subscribe to for BBC Merlin. My headcanon is that after Arthur’s death, Gwen gives birth, and their child eventually succeeds her as ruler.
I’ve always seen Mordred’s appearance as the harbinger of Arthur’s downfall. Thus, the reason for the plot bunnies in my brain going crazy with this idea of how I could bring him in, still remain mostly canon compliant with BBC Merlin, and build off some of my favorite parts of the lore. (Mandatory disclaimer: for BBC Merlin, I don’t headcanon Mordred as Arthur’s son. But for the mythology, I do wholeheartedly support that canon.)
Arthur’s choice to participate and live once Camelot is gone is a decision to contrast my headcanon of how Merlin handled it. I don’t think Merlin thrived. I think he stayed busy, and tried to remain hopeful, but I think he was anxiously consumed with the anticipation of wondering when Arthur would come back. In this au, Arthur may or may not know that Merlin is supposed to come back (I’m still working on that detail), but he’s always been around others. I think he would seek camaraderie, and companionship, and that he would connect with others but only to a superficial level. I don’t think he’d exist in a void of loneliness. Plus, he doesn’t have the guilt of knowing he failed because the pressure from the prophecy is very one sided *coughcough*causemerlinnevertoldhim*coughcough*
Anyways, that’s enough rambling from me about this. I’ll probably share some snippets of writing next because there are some fantastic scenes coming together in the draft so stay tuned! ;D

Once and Future Royalty
Just, stay with me on this one. I know its going to look crazy at the start, but trust me, I know where I'm going.
Tumblr media
It all started with the 537AD scene in Wessex in the opening montage of "Hard Times," S1E3. Yeah, the one where Aziraphale is supposed to be a knight of the Round Table and Crowley is role-playing the Black Knight, and they are both so super-squeaky shiny clean - not a speck of dirt or mud on them. wtf! It looks out of place, unrealistic, and was bugging the crap out of me, like a stone in your shoe. It just didn't fit. I mean, why put a myth, a legend, into that sequence? Oh, OK, yeah, the preceding stories from the Bible, like the Garden of Eden and the Flood, aren't "myths" as well, you say? Hmm. In the context of the Good Omens AU, being a biblical based story, they belong there far more than the legend of King Arthur.
King Arthur, who supposedly united Britain under his rule during the late 5th century and early 6th century, was shown to have the divine right to rule by wielding the mighty sword Excalibur. Some stories tell of Arthur pulling Excalibur from a stone. Some tell of him receiving Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake. Either way, it was bestowed upon him by divine grace. Despite his triumph in battle, he left no heirs, as his queen, the fair Guinevere, was barren. She had a long-running love affair with the greatest knight of the court, Sir Lancelot, but despite this being an open secret in court Arthur would not put her aside. The knights of the Round Table in the court of Camelot were near-paragons of Christian virtue, and there are many tales of their search for the Holy Grail, the cup from the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.
In the end, mortally wounded in battle, Arthur was taken away for healing, and never seen again. It was said he would return when Britain was at it most direst hour to save the day once more. A "messianic" return.
The Once and Future King.
Now, I'm no Arthurian novice; I drank up all of T. H. White as a teenager, read the Dark is Rising multiple times, Marion Zimmer Bradley's interpretation and what ever else I could lay my hands on for a good couple of decades. And there is LOTS of King Arthur stuff around. You are not left wanting for anything new to read or consume. And I'll bet there are a fair few of you also out there who know a quite bit about the legend as well. Oh, and I can't tell you how many times I have watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I still walk around quoting it day-to-day, like the good little Gen-Xer I am, having grown up on that stuff. So I really should have listened to my intuition when bits of Monty Python kept popping up in my brain in response to other parts of GO I was thinking about. (Staaay, I said, stay with me here....)
Tumblr media
I kept chewing away furiously on the Wessex problem, growling in feral frustration at it, but also kept reading and sorting out some other ideas and metas at the same time. Eventually I found the key in a tiny little post, about a small detail in the 1941 Blitz episode S2E4, of all places. I wanted to slap myself with how much was staring me in the face so obviously once the door opened. And the damn beauty of it is, that I already written about some it, out of context, without knowing the why.
OK. Where to start this journey...hmmm, back to Monty Python, because, guess what - the Wessex scene is actually riffing off one the more famous skits out the the Holy Grail. The scene is a masterpiece of political satire, from start to finish, but the relevant part here is this sequence:
Tumblr media
In case you missed the salient points: Arthur claims he is king by divine providence, because he was given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake. Dennis the peasant protests this waterlogged method of determination, mentioning ponds, watery tarts and a moistened... well, I hope you get the idea about where this is going.
Meanwhile, in 537AD, Wessex, as the mist swirls around them:
Tumblr media
"It is a bit damp," complains a shiny silver Aziraphale.
Yes, Excalibur would be a bit damp after it emerged from the Lake. (vidavalor! Get your mind out of the gutter! I'm trying to have a serious discussion here! Please! And I wasn't even going to go anywhere near what the sword in the stone is really meant to be referring to...it's not even relevant to the discussion at hand, I swear! Well, there is going to be sexual relations mentioned but - oh, never mind...)
Tumblr media
Right. Where were we. Lets leave those super-clean elite pretendy knights to swim off through the swirling mist back to their dry homes to write and file reports to head office, along with Patsy and the hired Igors, and Dennis can keep playing in his lovely muddy filth after he finishes protesting being repressed by the divinely-deluded Arthur. I've got a bit more to say about what Aziraphale and Crowley might represent here later but you need some more context first, so lets move on. I just needed to show you the first bit so you can see the Arthurian theme stretches across both S1 and S2, and will likely appear in S3 as well. More about that towards the end.
Ah, before I forget...another ref from the Holy Grail we need to cover:
Tumblr media
This GIF, unfortunately, doesn't have the full exchange between the peasants, which is this:
P1: "Who's that then?" P2: "I don't know. Must be a king." P1: "How can you tell?" P2: "Because he doesn't have any shit on him."
Ah. Er. OH!
Have you made the connection?
Who have I been emphasizing as being unusually clean in their Arthurian setting? That's right, Aziraphale and Crowley.
What's this implying? That they are royalty. Celestial royalty. Maybe not kings, but how about princes? You know how we've been discussing whether Crowley was a once at least an Archangel, and there is even a hint that he was a fallen prince of Heaven given during the replay of Gabriel's trial? (Not the prince, but a prince - a seraphim) And that Aziraphale may have once been Raphael, and may be again in the future? Once and future royalty. To me it adds weight to the past discussion, and helps to explain the assumed authority expressed in these two scenes here: On the left, Aziraphale takes control inside the book shop as the angels and demons argue who is going to punish Gabriel and Beelzebub (finally found it after several months!) and on the right, Crowley is shouting at the assembling demons in the street that they are "out of order."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Onward, Patsy. (I hope you're still with me.)
1941, the Blitz part 2, minisode.
We've found Excalibur! On to Camelot!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Edit note: I've added a few GIFs and screen shots into the sequence of parallels above because I was thinking over a few things since I posted and felt this actually sat better. To try and explain, as they don't exactly match as I would like, in the Holy Grail movie, King Arthur and the knights he has gathered rock up at the foot of Camelot and gaze up in awe at it. "Camelot!" Arthur declares to the party. "Camelot!" Galahad echoes in excitement. And a third "Camelot!" comes from Lancelot. What do we get in GO? Aziraphale leaps out of the Bentley (Crowley's black horse) and declares "The theater! Sophocles! Shakespeare!" I swear, if you put the two side by side, they would match. It's not just a reminder of how much time Aziraphale has seen pass by, or that we are seeing a tragedy play out. But damn it, I could so just see Aziraphale attending a Sophocles performance in Athens back in the day...]
Camelot was King Arthur's castle and home of his court. In S2 of GO the Windmill Theater is established as our court of Camelot where our 1941 Blitz-era Arthurian drama is to play out, involving Furfur and the zombies.
Tumblr media
Yes, poor old Furfur. Two's company, three's a crowd, as they say. Now we know we're in Camelot, we need to be reminded of the central tragedy of the Arthurian story, that ultimately led to the golden kingdom's fall. Lady Guinevere, Arthur's queen, famously loved Sir Lancelot, and the two were passionate lovers. It was essentially a love-triangle at the top, with Arthur being jilted, but he wouldn't/couldn't discard his queen. Where do we see this playing out in 1941?
Furfur, pleased with himself for catching an angel and a demon in the act of consorting together (with the help of the zombies,) barges into the backstage dressing room, and confronts the lovers with their crime. But who is playing who in the Arthurian love triangle? I would say Furfur is clearly caught in the role of Arthur here. Consider the following exchange:
FURFUR: Hmm, well, well, well… What have we here? AZIRAPHALE: Sorry, have we met? FURFUR: Oh, no, you never had the pleasure, but… we have, haven't we? CROWLEY: Have we? FURFUR: What do you mean "have we?" You know we have. We were in the same legion. Just before the Fall. Doing dubious battle on the plains of Heaven. Remember? CROWLEY: I remember going into battle, I don't remember being there with you. Sorry. FURFUR: I was right next to you. We did loads together. You use to jump on me back, little monkey in the waistcoat. Anyway, whether you do or whether you don't, it doesn't matter. I'm here to inform you, as a representative of the Higher Powers of Hell, that you, Crowley, are in breach of the Infernal Code. Consulting and collaborating with an angel, Fell the Marvelous, aka… [opens book] Azirapalala. Azirapapap. Aziphapalala. AZIRAPHALE: [annoyed] Aziraphale
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Furfur claims a past intimate relationship with Crowley, which Crowley spurns offhandedly. Crowley is playing Guinevere here, jilting Furfur/Arthur, which leaves the demon-smiting Aziraphale standing in for the handsome hero Lancelot (with his French connections, no less), and doesn't he make us weak at the knees when he drops his voice an octave in dominating disgust. (Is it suddenly getting hot in here...? Phew!)
Interestingly, looking back in S1 at 537AD Wessex, though, I would say that Crowley was Lancelot as the Black Knight, a role that Lancelot sometimes played in the legends, and Aziraphale would then be the fair maiden Guinevere. It certainly plays into Crowley's long term role of playing the knight who comes to the rescue of Aziraphale's princess in distress. Excalibur was no where in sight, perhaps still beneath the waters of the lake. Nor Arthur. Perhaps it was still too early in the story then...
I had originally suggested in my very first post that Furfur was given a stag as his demon avatar because he was wearing horns for being cuckolded by Crowley. But I wasn't quite thinking about it in context with the Arthurian legend! The stag is also often associated with royalty, plus while wandering around the medieval bestiary website that someone linked to, it interestingly notes that the enemy of the snake is the stag and the stork (Shax's avatar.) Ah ha!
Tumblr media
So how can we extrapolate this knowledge into a possible appearance of the Arthurian theme in S3?
Will we see the love triangle of Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot come back into play and cause more chaos? I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the Fall.
Or will our lovers bring down a divinely-appointed ruler via their committed behind-the-back defiance of expected propriety?
Will Excalibur appear from beneath the waters, perhaps in another form, to declare a new king?
Could it even be a combination Jesus/Arthur, King of the World, returned? And they turn out to be a very naughty boy, disappearing into the night clubs of Times Square, New York, and that's how they lose him? (Social media viral sensation, anyone?)
I wouldn't be half-surprised if Greasy Johnson's name turns out to be Arthur, actually.
And no, I haven't forgotten that Adam's dad was named Arthur as well.
Bring on S3!
**Bonus**
If you've made it this far and you're thinking:
Tumblr media
Let me leave you with this last connection.
In the back stage change room, remember Furfur delivers these lines:
FURFUR: What do you mean "have we?" You know we have. We were in the same legion. Just before the Fall. Doing dubious battle on the plains of Heaven. Remember?
On the first level, he is referring the Great War in the Good Omens AU.
On the second level, Furfur is paraphrasing Milton's Paradise Lost.
On a third level, I can (and will in a future meta) connect this back to the training initiative paintball fight at Tadfield Manor in S1.
And even deeper on a fourth level, if you do know the Holy Grail movie well, you'll remember there is an odd little subplot in it, that infers that the whole King Arthur and his knights thing is merely a full-on violent cosplay that is murderously rampaging across the countryside in the present day with the police in hot pursuit. It's a strange juxtaposition between reality and dream, and you aren't quite sure what it is real or not. The ending is bizarrely and abruptly surreal as the two story lines collide in the heat of battle, as the police turn up and arrest the combatants. A bit like this:

Re: Danny makes whale sounds and Aquaman can understand them
So the JL needs something from the Ghost King for something and they find a way to get Danny there (summing or asking Constantine or something). When he gets there the JL are trying to convince him to help but they can’t understand what he’s saying. He’s not using English to communicate but they thought he would be able to (maybe it’s a trust thing or maybe there’s something wrong and he can only speak with his core). He recognizes Aquaman from when he has visited the whales and gets really excited and so he starts talking to him using whale-song and the rest of the JL is like “wtf?” And Arthur is just responding without a second thought and translating for Danny.
JL is very confused as to why the Ghost King is a teenager who speaks whale but ohwhale what can you do.
OG post. Follow Up Post
thanks for the pun that felt like someone slapped me in the face with a dead tuna. That was glorious.
It's such a beautiful and soft sound. It's eerie in a way but it's gentle and sweet.
One day that soft whale song turns into a bellow. one that sounds like a thousand whales crying out in agony and pain.
the Ghost King isn't remotely nearby, but everyone heard it. They didn't understand the language but they knew exactly what it entailed.
Someone hurt the sweet soul who spoke in whale song. Someone hurt them very very badly. That person must pay.

Morgana would absolutely enjoy teasing Merlin and Arthur about their feelings 😎 Especially Arthur!
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE
morgana and arthur are literally siblings so the teasing never ceases so like we KNOW she's going to be insufferable about it as soon as she finds out he likes merlin. i can see her calling out arthur's favoritism and the fact that he takes merlin literally everywhere and tells him everything. imagine merlin casually talking about something arthur told him (about himself? about his mom maybe?) thinking that it's common knowledge or that at least morgana, as his sister, knows this, then morgana just narrows her eyes like wtf arthur never told me that he never talks about this 🤨 so she never lets it go and keeps bugging arthur about it forever
AS FOR MERLIN the degree of teasing would vary depending on what kind of friendship they have like if they'd remained friends and he'd never poisoned her then i genuinely think she would've been helping him the whole time (ie; making sure he gets alone time with arthur and/or hinting to arthur that he likes him etc.)
buuuuut i feel like if we're talking later on in the show (maybe morgana gets a redemption arc and eventually goes back to living in the castle) there'd be a lot (and i mean a LOT) of tension and bad blood between her and merlin so she wouldn't talk to him about it directly but maybe in an argument or something she'd off-handedly mention to arthur that his stupid manservant is head over heels in love with him and she's sick of having to see it every day cause she hates him (and he's literally emrys, but like that's a minor thing)
SO YEAH SHE RELISHES TEASING THEM ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS AND LOVES SEEING THEIR FACES GO RED EVERY TIME SHE POINTS OUT THE OBVIOUS (maybe she and merlin have a little bad blood but that doesn't stop her from poking fun at him and arthur's ridiculous pining)
ps: keep the questions/discussions coming :))

April 2024 Angel Fish Awards
Tumblr media
(Angel Fish design by @slytherkins!!)
Every month all of you fantastic writers work your asses off to post some truly incredible stories. Our Angel Fish Awards are the way for all of us, as a community of writers and readers, to lift each other up and give praise to those who have captured our attention and deserve a few kind words. (Click here to learn more about how to nominate a fic for an award!)
Nominated by @charliethealpaccaso
Contentment Is A Pearl Of Great Price by ravelqueen (AO3)
This fic captures everything that makes transformation scary but fascinating to read from start to finish. The mental change later on during the fic, Sam has to deal with as the new part of him takes over. It leaves you on the edge of your seat as we have no idea if he will ever be human again or if he will lose himself and his humanity forever. I wish more people would try their hands at more transformation fics, as there are many interesting topics to choose from when creating a fic like this one.

Nominated by @thoughtslikeaminefield
God Save The Queen, And Her Handmaids by darali_starscream (AO3)
I have attempted to think up a scenario in which Charlie Bradbury might sit on Dean Winchester's face to no avail. This isn't what you think, I promise—there is no universe in which I'd be OK with a true Charlie/Dean pairing, but this works and it works well. BJ riffs on the spectrum of attraction and sexuality here. The pairing in Charlie and her girlfriend who is bisexual x Dean, and it's a very satisfying little story.
Sleeping Arrangements by @jinkieswouldyoulookatthis
This is very cute and even sexy without being smutty.

Nominated by @zepskies
The Dangers of Hope by @dean-winchester-is-a-warrior
I had never read an "Endverse!Dean Winchester" series before, but this one completely blew me away -- from world-building to the overarching story to the romance itself. Beginning to end, it's beautifully written.
~*~*~
Nominated by @mrswhozeewhatsis
Living His Gray Flannel Life by @samanddean76
Warnings to start - As there is prostitution in this one, noncon must be mentioned. Also, this is a Wincest fic, so, you know, incest. That being said, this story is told from Jimmy's POV, so the Wincest of it all is less Wincesty. Which is right up my alley, man! This is the perfect amount of Wincest combined with outsider POV, where the outsider loves what he's seeing as much as we do. I can't say more for spoilery reasons, but know that there is delicious pining, sweet smutty smut, a fascinating monster, and fantastic side characters. I read it twice just because once wasn't enough!!

Dean protects Sam from being killed by other Hunters and their dad. Starts Gen, does not stay that way. I just loved everything about it. Fabulous art in the last chapter.

What happens in ApocalypseWorld… by masoena (AO3)
This is such an interesting aspect that I’ve never read for a/b/o. **SPOILERS** The moment Dean and Arthur step through the portal everything changes and the world heavily influences their biology. I loved how, of course, Ketch knew exactly what was happening, which really makes me wonder about wtf Ketch has been through. I really wanna know more about that dynamic change and I hope they really do write more. This is also one of the few stories I get to read a soft!Ketch. I love, love soft!Ketch. Gotta check them out.
Second Chances by @mayalaen
First, I am not a fan of incest. Second, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this because it isn’t tagged. Finally, I love poly fics. It’s so hard to find a poly fic that isn’t just PWP/smut. I really enjoy how the premise is getting Sam to relax and teach him how to handle his health while managing school work in a healthy way. I really like how the relationship between Cas and Sam is setup, Dean gets introduced, and then all hell breaks loose in the different relationship dynamics. The thing is there isn’t an emphasis on their brotherhood and sex. This is NOT a wincest smut story. It’s a story about Sam learning how to be a healthy adult while finishing college and finds a place where he is wanted and feels like he belongs. I also absolutely love the dom/sub and domestic discipline aspects of Cas and Dean’s relationship. It’s really a background aspect until it isn’t. I highly recommend the read even if you aren’t a wincest or wincestiel fan. The plot is written and integrated so well with the character development for all three main characters. It really took me by surprise. I couldn’t put it down.
