New Duties

With Uther’s death, Arthur ascends to the throne and officially becomes King of Camelot. Naturally, this means that Merlin is now the King’s manservant, not the Prince’s.

Even A Ripple

by Cunien

” Merlin has no weapon. Merlin is a weapon.   His whole body comes apart with a joyous, furious snap and he is the dark clouds broiling overhead, he is the dancing twist of a power he does not know the name of - is it magic?- that builds and thrums and races from cloud to cloud and then snaps downwards in a glorious lick of lightning. Merlin laughs with booming thunder and reaches out, tickles each of Morgana’s men with himself just lightly. They fall one by one without the time to cry out, this one’s heart stopped in an instant, this one’s eyes smoked and blackened, this one’s lungs popped with the pressure.  *A couple of short and silly vignettes in which Merlin is…not always himself.Okay this is really silly but was so fun and I think kind of lovely? Based on this post on instagram, with a quote from a book that says that Merlin could “then become a cloud, storm, of even a ripple on a pond.”
