Bonus:

post magic reveal, post magic ban lifted, arthur gets to see merlin in all his glory and somehow falls deeper in love with him than he ever thought possible. merlin who is free and accepted and loved and ecstatic by it all, but there's that thought lingering in the back of his mind that only half of their destiny has been fulfilled. magic has returned to camelot but albion is still fractured in many different kingdoms, many of which are still holding onto the hate that uther spread which is seeping into the very fabric of the earth itself. druids and magic users and even magic creatures are still persecuted all across the realm and yeah camelot opened her arms to them but not everyone trusts it (justifiably).

arthur who is choking on the sheer amount of love he has for merlin and promising himself that he'll tell merlin, he'll confess, even if he feelings aren't reciprocated. merlin will know. merlin who has been chewing on an idea for some time now and is planning on bringing it up to arthur. its night as merlin is dressing arthur for bed and they're both quiet and tense. they break at the same time and end up speaking over one another. arthur allows merlin to go first since his nerves are eating away at him. then merlin speaks of leaving.

arthur feels his nerves rot and decay and fall into a bottomless pit. merlin is rambling about how every magical being in albion is still being targeting by various kingdoms and as the prophesied emrys, magic incarnate, druid king, should he not be doing more to help? he doesn't want to leave arthur's side, but he does want to help his people. he's seen only a fraction of the atrocities committed against them and he wishes to protect them, give them somewhere completely safe, a kingdom of magic so to speak. he promises that he'll only be gone for as long as it takes to establish a kingdom (a year? two? three?) but he promises to write and visit often...as long as arthur gives him permission and allows him to leave his service for the time being.

arthur of course agrees, half unhappy about it but completely understanding. surely, out of everyone, he is the one who can understand the weight of responsibility weighing on merlin's shoulders. he mentions that merlin will need someone with experience wearing the crown to guide him. plus, balance. merlin was always there for arthur, guiding him on how to be a better man, a great king, someone worthy of the praise he constantly spewed. it's only right that arthur gets to return that by helping merlin establish a safe haven and home for his people. and politically, camelot being the first kingdom to recognize merlin's and establish some trade agreement or treaty with them will strengthen merlin's kingdom's status and send a message that camelot stands with magic.

merlin smiles wide and asks what arthur was going to say. the king hesitates before biting his tongue and requesting that merlin bring up the honey cakes that had been prepared earlier that night. two of them. since merlin was no longer in his service, he didn't have to stand by and watch arthur eat - not that he ever did, the idiot loved to steal his food. shamelessly!! he never even tried to hide it. they both sat at the table in his chambers until late in the night, nibbling away at the sweets, chasing it down with wine, and chatting away.

arthur wasn't able to confess, but it did not change his feelings. if anything, merlin's heart and the decision he made only added fuel to the raging inferno of love and devotion within arthur. he knows that merlin will keep in contact and will return to his side one day. he gets through the tough days/nights by rereading merlin's letters and imagining seeing him again in royal garb and donning a crown.

I just think Draken needs more tats.

Specifically one of my name across his heart. 🤷🏾‍♀️

less tragic knight/tragic lady obidala more couple from hell obidala. you don’t stick two bitchy control freaks in a relationship without getting some dishes broken and cars set on fire

the thing about each pjo book is that each of them is uniquely the best in what it sets out to do. each is so monumental in what the story ends up amounting to, picking a favorite is almost like pointless. you could not have all 5 work so well if one was missing

the lottielee fic might have gotten away from me a bit... once the floodgates opened i couldn't stop writing and now it's almost 16k and not quite done yet...

oops?

Will you stay by my side this year?

PLUS & MINUS (正負之間) 2022, dir. Chiang Ping Chen

spectragus dont get enough credit for being a sun and moon ship but like. destructive sun and moon ship. sun and moon ship but they're the forces of nature the sun and moon actually are. the sun is harsh and relentless and unpredictable in its evil but also it's kindness, the moon is sharp and cold and cruel, a harsh light that doesn't allow you peace, but can also guide you, a light in the darkness. even on nights with a new moon, with no light in the sky, the moon is always reflecting the sun, and it'll be that way until they come to their end.

Something something the Janeway/Chakotay/Tuvok dynamic when it comes to religion, mysticism, spirituality and science.

(( Thinking about Miranda using her mouth more like a fifth limb again... Considering how her body is made and how far back her actual arms are, it would be the part of her that's easiest to reach stuff with and most likely to be able to quickly catch/release items if need be.

I saw that you made Mituna and Latula moirals rather than matespirtes in your au. What are your thoughts and reasons about that decision for your story? Just curious!

Considering both of their characters, it seemed like it would be easier and more intriguing to explore their relationship through the lens of Moirallegiance rather than Matespritship. Their canonical Red Romance has very much so been explored and loved for years now, and we wanted something fresh but still familiar. Overall, it opened some new doors for exploration of both of their characters that we thought would liven up the Patron dynamics, and make them distinct from that of canon.

For Sovereignstuck, Moirallegiance is all about balancing each other, and staying in your best health. It's keeping each other in check, making sure your partner stays on the right path, and doesn't go down any dark roads. It's a form of extreme platonic love. It's a QPR with a specific function, though it manifests differently for everyone. Not all are healthy, and not all of them last, but all aim to fulfill the same basic purpose. Latula and Mituna both need each other, and separating them is a bad idea across most timelines. This is undeniable. We felt that with the way we executed their characters, it would be more apt for them to take on that balancing. They both have a lot of things wrong with their brains, and for the longest time they felt like they were the only ones who really understood each other. And, for the longest time, they were right.

The love between them isn't lesser just because they're Pale. It's still there, at the same levels. It's still intense. It's just in a different form.

The dichotomy of wanting to get into more MCYT content because you fucking love that medium of storytelling versus the sheer emotional burnout of series and fanfics with too much hurt and too little comfort inflicted upon you which you still haunts you tok this day
