Ok but fairly angsty ask??? That validates my feelings lmao. So, what if MC was born sickly on top of it all? Like they were easy to fall sick with colds, ferver and stuff... there was a fragility to their build, if you pushed them they would break etc etc... reactions of the ROs. Cherry on top pretty please if guin being guin and daddy dearest only make her condition worsen :)) would the ROS be protective???

The ROs would be protective in their own way.

I'll-fight-these-fools kind of protective mixed with waiting on MC hand and foot to comfort them: Arthur, Lancelot

Death glare to Guin / Bran while plotting revenge: Merlin, Kay

Resisting the urge to set Bran on fire mixed with comforting MC and taking them away: Morgana

Reactions (warning: some assume touch is okay, reaction would vary for MC otherwise, also: fire):

Arthur - He notices the exhaustion in your eyes after Guinevere left "MC? Are you unwell?" A soft hum from your lips tells him yes. His own body was heating up from annoyance at your sister. But he didn't notice as he gently scoops you up and into his arms. "Let's get you to the bed, love. And then I'll grab you favorite pillows and a glass of water." Arthur glanced down at you. "And that book you love - I'll read it until you fall asleep." And then I'll find Guinevere and give her a taste of her own medicine, he thought.

Lancelot - "Hey! Time for you to leave," Lance growls as he steps in to shield you from your father. Bran glares at the Knight. "How dare you talk to a King like that!" Lancelot chuckles and takes step forward, his chest touching Bran's. "I dare much more than talking, Your Majesty. I suggest you leave before I do something you regret" he responds. The King sputters, unable to respond before giving you an annoyed look over Lancelot's shoulder and turning to leave. Lance turn to look at you. His face softens. "Want some fresh air in the garden?" You nod and he wraps a gentle arm around you shoulder, pulling you close so you can rest your weight on him. Fuck, I hate that guy, Lance thinks.

Morgana - You sigh at the feelings coming over you while your father talks. All things you've heard so often. You wish he'd leave Camelot so you could be in peace. Well, partial peace considering Guin's presence. "Dammit, are you listening to me, MC?" You meet your father's eyes but before you can respond he lets out a yelp and starts jumping around. Your eyes widen and you stumble back, bumping into something soft. "Help! I'm on fire!" Bran swats his arm sleeve as he struggles to get his robe off. You hear a soft giggle and look to your side. "How peculiar!" Morgana says. "You don't see that everyday, do you?" She winks at you before turning back to watching the flailing Bran.

Kay - Your eyes search for a way out. You're trapped with Guinevere and its already brining on a headache from her entitled demands. Guinevere grabs your sleeve, drawing your attention. "Listen when I talk to you," she says, annoyance flashing in her eyes. Her grip is broken by a lady Knight in shining armor. Kay glares at Guinevere, a look so severe that you shiver. "MC is needed elsewhere. I've come to retrieve them." Your sister rolls her eyes. "Whatever," she says before turning away. Kay turns to you with a bright smile. "Shall we?" You follow her out of the room, noticing how she glances at Guin on the way out with a balled up fist. The day will come.., Kay thinks to herself.

Merlin - Guinevere opens her mouth to continue but both of you turn to look as a portal opens and Merlin steps out, tossing an aggravated look at her. Xe stops in front of her and huffs. "Your grating voice carries to the tower. Don't look so surprised, I told you this the first day you arrived in Camelot. How can I get work down with you in the same building?" Guinevere lets out a small shriek. "You can't talk to me like that! I'm the QUEEN." Merlin rolls xir eyes and turns to you, a small smile tugging at xir lips. "See what I have to put up with it? It's insufferable." Xe turns back to Guin. "And I won't tolerate it. Sleep with an eye open." With that, Merlin guides you out of the room with a barely contained smile and sparkling eyes.

A SERVANT'S FRIENDSHIP ━ arthur pendragon ♔

Lynette cared for magic, but could never wield such wonder except in her dreams. The hustle and bustle of the lower town to the intrigues of court life made up most of her childhood memories. As the physician's daughter, many people would find her helping the elderly with their large loads or playing with the children in alleyways. As a humble servant to her thriving kingdom, Lynette struggles to face the light of a new dawn in the war against magic. A light that manifests into her long predestined fate as the one they call the once and future queen. Arthur was fearful of magic, and all it had taken and could take from him. He learned at a young age what it meant and how it had affected the lives of those around him. As the son of a king, most would find him training with his knights or at his desk with mounds of paperwork. However, he could also be found in the physician's chambers spending time with his best friend. As a prince of a kingdom,Arthur held on to every momentof freedom until it was his time to rule. A luxury that would fade into darkness and give way to his fate as the once and future king. Magic knew no bounds when it came to the constraints of destiny. It had a tendency to morph and evolve until it was unrecognizable to all except those who knew it. An untamable force that struck fear into the hearts of many and yet longing in others. The meeting of two extraordinary individuals was written in the time of dragons. A destiny that weaves a sorcerer, servant, and prince into a chain of unpredictable events that would go down in history as legends in the Albion escapades.

no grandma, im just writing a “m/m merlin/Arthur fic hurt/comfort 90k slowburn medieval political thriller” uh, “practice story.”

[u5an5]

i have this thing where when i get myself into fandom its either five years after anything major happened and it was relevant to anyone outside diehard established fanbase or two days before all shit starts to hit the fan but i don't know it until week later. theres no middle ground

[tyrannuspitch]

the thing is. i really do think odin loves his children. i don't think his motives are about sadism or lack of morals or lack of care. i think he's just so deep in rationalisation for The Greater Good and destructive cycles where he tries to fix things using the tools that broke them that he truly believes there is no other way. i think he's so so deep in doing terrible things for supposedly noble reasons that he's become indistinguishable from someone amoral. and i think on some level he knows that too. but what is he meant to do. there's no way back. and isn't every other path but the one he's on worse. AND i think if you truly undeniably confronted him with this, he wouldn't even defend himself. he would just turn away. because he KNOWS. he has destroyed himself and his family and rained devastation on the universe, and for what. he was trying to save the world from an apocalypse that never came.

@ofxscavengcrs​ - Jamie & Merlin

“You scared me” Jamie said putting a hand on her chest since she haven’t noticed him before. “I remember you though” she said pointing towards him remember that he saw her crying and asking her about the fire. “Can I help you with something?”.

How would your Shrimp react to my Shrimp? This is crucial information.

omg i had to peek at your info for ur shrimp but i think theyd get along solely bc my shrimp kind gets along w everyone, even if one sided and she is the only one who actually is getting along

but my shrimp is very sweet and gentle and would try to help yours, even if just. offering friendship slowly over time, not forcing anything. my shrimp lacks self confidence but she sees so much sunshine in others, but rather than be upset she doesnt see herself as a bright light in the world, she just strives to help OTHERS see themselves as a bright light

however my shrimp, despite being named Shrimp, does not like sea food which is very funny and i see your shrimp DOES like that stuff. ideal dynamic

TYSM for this ask it is very fun to think abt interactions ;v;

[imnotleavinherewithoutyou]

so since i picked up that 20k mystery project like a month and a half ago (jesus time goes by so fast now???) i guess i've added something like 15k and figured out chapter headings and subheadings and there's like structure and shit

think it'll be 10 parts total - 8 chapters plus prelude and postlude (i did not know that was a word btw)

pre-humongously-long writing hiatus i'd written prelude plus two chapters and the start of chapter 3. now i'm 1500 words into chapter 5, in the middle of an owwwwy scene

really, ow

She nodded her head gently as she stared at the sleeping man there on the bed before she looked back at Merlin again. "That was a lot that you did back there." She clasped her hands before her and then stepped towards him gingerly, her eyes softening as she looked at him again. "Are you sure that you don't just want to tell him?" She kept her voice low, vague. "He might surprise you."

Important question but did Merlin’s parent love each other?

No, in this story it was a night of passion that resulted in Merlin.

A SERVANT'S FRIENDSHIP ━ arthur pendragon ♔

Chapter One - It Is Wednesday Lynette's eyes widen in disbelief. She knew people could be taught magic from a young age, having witnessed it for herself when she was young. Some were even said to have a natural talent for it after only a few years of honing their skills. However, she had never come across somebody who had been born with the power to already perform magic since infancy. She supposed it could be exceedingly rare but could not fathom how terrifying a gift it would be to possess it while Uther still ruled. "That's impossible!" Gaius accused before taking a better look at the boy, sensing he looked somewhat familiar, "Who are you?" "Oh..." Lynette watched as he struggled to pull something from his pack. "I have this." He handed the letter over to the physician who glanced at it, "I don't have my reading glasses." "I'm Merlin." "Hunith's son?" Lynette asked, wanting to confirm her suspicions. "Yes!"  What a great way to make a first impression, Lynette thought as she stared at the boy before her. The revelation that he was her cousin seemed to release tension for Merlin, who let out a relieved sigh at knowing he was among the family he had traveled to see. While Gaius seemed to be mulling over how to proceed, Lynette did her best to appear welcoming. She stepped forward and brought the young boy into an awkward hug, trying to convey her happiness through a simple gesture. Lynette's joy at meeting her cousin was short-lived when her father exclaimed, "But you're not meant to be here till Wednesday!" "It is Wednesday, Father," Lynette explained, giving him a worried look. Her father was not one to forget even the smallest detail.
