             un !!   mordred is the first to initiate interaction between nimue and himself during their time in avalon. not because he has any particular interest in her as a person or in making friends, but because he’s been explicitly told that there’s this girl who he not only can’t talk to but can’t look at either. mordred no? mordred yes. once he realizes exactly who she is, it behooves him to continue coming to see her and interact with her bc winning her over (and thus her growing powers and intellect) could prove useful to him. and lbh it tickles his selfish, prideful nature to create himself as the only dominating / male presence in nim’s isolated universe. 

            deux !!   that effectively leads to mordred later developing this jealousy in regards to nimue making an appearance at camelot. where before she was this item on a shelf in a cabinet that only he had access to, she’s suddenly public domain and everyone has more than looking on their minds. there’s this idea in his mind that she - in some way - belonged to him. they don’t know her. they don’t understand her. they don’t deserve her attention.

            trois !!   attention that he used to have in its most rapt and undivided form. listen, mordred is a charmer and a young, lonely af nimue is not immune. she would have looked forward to his visits, clung to his every word, and just loved learning anything and everything about him bc she’s curious by nature and hungry for knowledge in general. not to mention that she’d feel like he really listened to her, that he was her friend and she could trust him. this is a girl starving for human connection...and mordred is the only one supplying. ANYWAY, that all ends when mordred goes and desecrates the great marriage with niniane.

mordred accuses nimue of being jealous, and she accuses him of having no faith in anything - least of all preserving the old religion and saving it from the mists. (spoiler: both of these things are true) a fight ensues and all chances of reconciliation are ruined when mordred runs off and morgaine returns to teach nimue to be a cold pawn in her games. 

            quatre !!   when they’re finally reunited at camelot, they both have a hard time understanding who they are to one another and how they should act. mordred knows that she’s not the christian girl that she’s pretending to be, and she knows what his true motives for staying close to arthur are. while they’re both a threat to one another’s plans, they’re also the only familiar face and understanding soul that either of them has. mordred tries to reassert dominance over nimue, only to find that she’s not a child anymore. nimue tries to write off mordred, only to find that she still can’t entirely let go.

            cinq !!   because mordred keeps shoving his way into her life, nimue has a harder time falling victim to the spell she places on the merlin. after all, he’s only too happy to remind her what a stupid plan it is. to ask her if she’ll like it when an old man makes love to her. to try and shake some sense into her and make her see that it’s not the will of the goddess, that her faith is being used. (a hard argument for a man with no faith to make to a devout believer lbh) and while this causes tension, strife, and arguments of its own, the main reason nimue is having a hard time fully bending the knee is because what she feels for mordred outweighs the enchantment.

What does Nim NOT like about Cora?

 ALWAYS ACCEPTING ┊ ask nim & i stuff & things

@madameserpent

If we had to pinpoint one thing that would most likely grind Nim’s gears about Cora, it would have to be her penchant for developing tunnel vision. A great deal of the time, Cora wants what she wants when she wants it, damn the consequences! Her focus is swift, immediate self-gratification. As conniving and manipulative as she is, she’s really only interested in playing/winning a short-term game that she believes will have lasting, long-run power. Become a queen. Nice, but what do you do with the crown? How do you keep it? These are all afterthoughts to her that she only considers as the hurdles arise and immediately threaten her as an individual, which leads to poor alliances, poorer decisions and messy mistakes.

Nimue is long-run oriented. Even without her abilities with the Sight, she’s a critical thinker who considers the value of EVERY piece of the board as well as each potential move her opponent can make both immediately and in the future. She’s not as focused on visible displays of power as she is on how far her reach can extend and that she has a grasp on a little of everything rather than struggle to keep a chokehold on one absolute thing. Cora’s shot-term thinking is often counterintuitive to Nim’s long-term planning.

no offense but the soft uncertain kiss followed by a pause where the people look each other in the eyes and then fucking pull eachother back into a more passionate kiss will always be the most soul destroying trope , catch me lying on the fucking ground sobbing and rewatching The Scene™✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

What I will NOT do is give you a love potion, spell, or trinket…no matter how many times you beg and moan about it. ❞

OPEN STARTER !! something something historical verse

                    ☽ ● ☾              –     ❝ Has the Bishop sent you? ❞ It was hard to tell if amusement or irritation was the more prevalent of emotions. A sigh escaped her lips all the same, gaze falling on them in weary examination. ❝ You may tell the Good Father that I shall confess my sins when I have been given chance to commit them and not a moment before. Thus, I happily leave it to his own wise council to determine the merit of holding his breath or his tongue. ❞

                   ☽ ● ☾              –     The blonde raises herself onto her elbow, gaze trailing towards the edge of the bed where Arthur sits alone in the darkness. Now there is a loaded question if ever one has been asked, and it has been asked --- not only by him but by the Lady of the Lake about herself so many times before. A soft sigh escapes her parted lips and the sheets rustle, breaking the tense silence as she shifts and moves to sit on her knees behind him. Palms hover hesitantly over the back of his shoulders; her gaze intent on the back of his head as if she could pry into it and read what was truly going on in his mind.

She had always thought it fascinating - and disgusting - how people always seemed to fall in love with Arthur. How he inspired! If he wanted to, he could easily rouse a crowd of thousands to see his dream of a utopian world. If he wished it, he could send a league of men into battle that held no promise of victory. Because of him - because of this power that he had over others - Nimue had seen such loss and such corruption that she had hated him long after the history books had forgotten both their names, and the legends began to tell their stories all wrong. 

And now he is just a poor, lost boy sitting at the end of her bed.

Pale hands drag over the contours of his shoulders, fingertips trailing lower over each line of muscle and each jagged scar until finally her arms are wrapped around his torso and her chest is pressed against Arthur’s back. She was the curse. People didn’t love her; they coveted her. They went mad with wanting; they became monsters and fools with claws that latched and bruised. And it was her fault, wasn’t it? So she’d been told time and time again. Too hot but too cold, too inviting but too closed off... 

❝ I suppose it is a bit of both, ❞ she answers at last. It’s no comfort, but she does press her mouth to the curve of his neck. ❝ Come back to bed, Arthur. The only spells you need worry about tonight are mine. ❞
