For later :D
Kind of want a fic of Arthur being sent on a quest to kill Magic itself, the god of magic, the most powerful sorcerer to walk the Earth, Emrys, and Merlin is just standing in the background sweating
Ok, so maybe Uther hears from some captive druids about Emrys and how he’s magic itself, god of magic, so on so forth. So obviously, to get rid of magic in the world, this Emrys guy has to be killed! So Uther sends Arthur on a quest to get rid of magic once and for all, and of course, Merlin is along for the ride. This could be a pretty cool concept and magic reveal I think. I’m no good at writing though so please someone write this
Hay I don't really post but I just remembered a fic but I can't remember the name I've seen people do this before so hopefully it'll help
(sorry for formatting and/or grammar I'm a mobile and severely dyslexic)
What I can remember:
I remember either somewhere in the first chapters Harry and Draco end up having to share a train car, and talk and Draco tells Harry about being forced to become a death Eater. and they come up with a plan. which leads to Draco sending Harry his memories that could incriminate him, and Harry sending them back at a specific time afterwards. so Voldemort doesn't know Draco's true intentions. then they run away together to Grimwold's place. there's also some weird magical stuff with magic phoenix feather tattoos, I don't remember the details but I remember it was pretty cool in the actual fic. Harry also ends up telling everyone what actually happened at the dursleys and calls out and I believe takes Revenge on Dumbledore. oh and Draco pretends that he is a illegitimate black child after running away so he can continue to attend Hogwarts explain why he's close to Harry.
Yes
My people! I just read what had got to be one of the most incredible merlin fics out there: Teach a man to fish and he'll never run out of ale by Doctor959 on ao3.
Merlin? Powerful, skilled, sassy, traumatised, knows his way around a tavern and isn't useless in a fight (without magic!) either. Let me introduce GWAINE his friend, brother and father figure(!?!?!?), he basically adopts Merlin after he had to flee Ealdor and got himself in a bit of a pickle.
And the chemistry between Merlin and Arthur is screaming crying throwing up good.
And the cherry on top of all that is good Morgana bonding with our boi Merlin.
OH AND UTHER GETS BULLIED A LIL
truly, I love the little oh moments and the whispered stay’s in fanfic. I always eat it up and I always will. but you know what’s not appreciated as much as it should be?
the comforting, softly spoken I’ve got you.
every time I read that in a fanfic, it feels like I could run through a fucking wall.
I love this, and I want to add-on to it.
Geralt fell in love with jackster because of his writings. Well, jackster knew that he could never become a Bard, as long as he was heir to the throne. That didn't stop him from indulging in the occasional poem or story or song. He wrote them down in journals, he hid, he wrote so many, he could probably fill a small library.Geralt had come to the ruins of the castle to slay a monster That had taken up residence. But during the battle, jackstar's rooms and his hidden writings revealed gerald had looked for any other way to break the curse.While doing so, he out of curiosity, if nothing else began to read, the journals found alongside the sleeping prince. And as he read more and more of the hidden man behind the facade lost to history and time, he couldn't help but fall in love with what he found. So when it became clear, the only way to wake jackstar up from his sleep was true love's kiss. Geralt couldn't help but be a little selfish and check if it was him before going off to find someone more suitable. And now he's stuck trying to explain why he felt the need to check at all.
As a baby, Prince Julian Pankratz of Lettenhove was cursed to prick his finger and fall into a death-like sleep on his eighteenth birthday.
Sure enough, when Julian turned eighteen, the next thing he knew, he was waking up in a ruined castle—with a white-haired man standing over him.
That’s how Julian learns he’s been asleep for five hundred years, his kingdom of Lettenhove no longer exists, and the white-haired man is a witcher named Geralt. With no throne to return to, Julian decides to embrace the future and pursue what he’s always wanted: the life of a bard. He even picks out a new name for himself—Jaskier.
Meanwhile, Geralt has mixed feelings about his new tagalong, a five-hundred-eighteen-year-old former prince turned bard. Mostly because he’s still coming to terms with the fact that he woke Jaskier up with a true love’s kiss… and has no idea how to tell him.
I was about to go to bed and was making scenarios in my head to help me fall asleep when my eyes shot open and I said out loud to no one "my bones are shaking" and had to start pacing around my room before I could settle down and have any chance of getting to sleep because the scenario I made was a bit too good
Mandatory reblog
If I ever see any of you in public, the code is “I like your shoelaces”
that way we know we’re from tumblr without revealing anything
I’m just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person
Ok but this gives me an idea: what if the other wolves figured out something was up because all of a sudden one winter, Lambert just stops being able to sleep properly. and when they ask about it (both of genuine concern...and because a sleepless Lambert is a dangerous, and annoying one) he gets all evasive or refuses to give a straight answer.(Eventually after a winter or two of this they do some further investigating and find out about Aiden what happens from there is up to you)
"Fucking, move over, it's too hot!" Lambert grumbled and pushed Aiden away to his own bedroll. Even at night it was unbearably hot, the air heavy with humidity. For a long moment their camp was silent, then Aiden shuffled around and turned towards him. "Hey, Lambert," his voice sounded smaller than usual, "I can't sleep without you anymore." Lambert let out a sigh and turned his head. "Yeah.... Me neither." Their hands found each other, fingers intertwined, connected.
For future use :]
Witcher!Jaskiers, anyone?
I’d say something about artistic license and freedom of interpretation, but the reason I got some of these designs to abysmally wrong is actually because I’m Jared, 19. I’m absolutely mortified at my utter idiocy and general sciolism :)
Anyways, the fics are as follows:
All the World I’ve Seen Before Me Passing By by @brothebro - 💚💚💚
Death to the Details by loser bastard idiot man who cannot read (me)
Demand an Encore by @theaceace - with daryshkart’s awesome design bc it’s awesome
Juniper Berries by @wingedquill - i am so sorry but i absolutely did base his design’s colour scheme off of actual juniper berries and now i want to die
How Many Secrets Can You Keep? by @kaermorons - i spent probably far too long trying to decode the descriptions and was halfway done before i realised that it was also probably supposed to be daryshkart’s design and now i feel extra dumb.
You’re all awesome, thank you 💚
For future reference and enjoyment
A celebration of some Dragon!Merlin fics I’ve enjoyed! (close-ups and fic links under cut)
Rating: Gen | Word Count: 8,058 | Chapters: 1 “You know,” the prince started, and Merlin grunted in frustration, turning away. Princes were always the same, “I don’t appreciate you talking about my father like that.” Merlin stopped and narrowed his eyes, before slowly looking back at the prince. He studied the prince's face intently. “And who, exactly, would your father be?” he asked, fury crackling through the calm sounding words. He was not in the mood to be played with by a prince. “Uther Pendragon,” the prince said calmly. Merlin’s tail lashed so hard against the rock next to him a large piece of it chipped off, rocketing through the air and over the edge of the mountain. --- Merlin was cursed to be a dragon, which was fine. It was fine, he was fine, he was happy, thank you very much. Everything was great. Except for all these knights and princes that kept bothering him. That, that was not fine. It was annoying. It definitely wasn't the only human interaction he ever got, he was fine. So if this odd group of knights and their king would leave, that would be wonderful.
Rating: E | Word Count: 40,640 | Chapters: 1 Merlin, a fierce dragon, is captured and held prisoner in a deep cave under a castle. He believes he will perish, miserable and alone… until a second prisoner arrives. The man is small and annoying at first, but gradually they get to know each other, and soon enough the cave is almost tolerable. Then the man escapes, and Merlin realises his whole world has been changed.
Rating: M | Word Count: 25,126 | Chapters: 7 With another growl, the monster surges forward, pressing its full weight into Arthur and toppling his footing. They both go down hard with just the damaged sword as a barrier between them. Arthur’s arms shake with the effort to keep it that way, pressing upwards with all the strength he can muster to free himself. The monster barely budges, lips pulling back in a snarl that reveals a mouthful of half-sharp, half-dull teeth. Through his panic, Arthur finally realizes why this monster seems so different from the attacks in the past. His gaze trails from the jagged teeth snapping angrily at him to the side of the creature’s face that isn’t covered in scales, to the side that’s so obviously and glaringly human. Because the monster isn’t a monster at all. It’s something else entirely, some kind of cursed hybrid never before seen. Worst of all, though, Arthur finds that he recognizes the human face beyond the scales and fangs. “Merlin?”
(Summary for the first in the series) Rating: Gen - E | Word Count: 42,121 | Works: 15 They cannot have even one hunt without something going wrong on some level. A horse throws a shoe. A crossbow string breaks. A storm blows in. A giant beast attacks. Merlin turns into a dragon. The usual things.
(and also With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet because it's a similar dragon design and both fics are so very fun)
Yes
My favorite headcannon is that Arthur gifted merlin a purple shirt, indicating a kings favor, without telling him.
Just look at him.
And he has no idea until Gwen tells him why all the other servents are whispering about him.
