Just realized that my headphones are not broken i just had messed up settings... I've been recording with sound only in my left ear. For like 3 months...

Frequent readers of this blog will know that I've long held that "gen" fics are often considered an afterthought in fandom, and that it's assumed that anyone reading a fic is reading it for the romance. So I thought, what do we do on Tumblr when we feel something needs more attention in fandom? We do a challenge!

My thought is we do a "Gen Fics Week", where people will either write or recommend seven gen fics for seven themes. My thought for having recommendations being acceptable submissions is that one, it will open the participation up to non-writers, and two, it will allow writers to recommend fics they already wrote that didn't get enough attention. But, of course, this would all be pointless if I were the only one doing this, so here's a poll to gauge interest.

reblog this if you're okay with booping spams please !!

Bidding is now open and closes March 1 at 8pm EST!

What is Fandom Trumps Hate? - FTH is an online auction of fanworks that generates donations to progressive nonprofits that are working to protect marginalized people.

A slightly angsty Merthur fic idea/ mini fic where a magic reveal goes slightly wrong, and Merlin and Arthur are captured by bandits. Things are still raw between both of them—think of their interactions in Diamond of the Day—but they’re stuck together anyway. They’ll have to depend on each other to escape (they will, but angst first).

The bandits know that Merlin has magic and give him cold iron shackles so he can’t use it. Worse, their leader is bragging how much coin they’ll get if they hand over their new sorcerer (Merlin) to Cenred.

Merlin’s fate seems to be uncertain: even if he escapes with Arthur, Arthur could still have him arrested for magic. Or he could end up being forced to fight for Cenred. (I think it’s headcanon that known sorcerers are forced to serve Cenred in Essetir and that’s partially why Merlin had gone to Camelot in the first place.)

So, as soon as they’re alone (in a cell or tied to trees away from the bandit camp), Merlin asks Arthur to kill him. (He would rather die than serve Cenred, and he knows execution probably awaits him in Camelot anyway.)

Arthur is obviously horrified that Merlin would ask him to do that. He asks why.

Merlin doesn’t bring up that he doesn’t really see a way out of this for himself. But he answers honestly: he doesn’t want his magic to be used as a weapon. (Merlin feels no loyalty to Uther, but he has no wish to harm Camelot or anyone else. *cue Nobody’s Soldier by Hozier*)

His answer is what brings Arthur to look at him fully again—stranger and friend, sorcerer and servant. (Basically Arthur goes from not recognizing the Merlin he thought he knew, to realizing he’s the same fool he’s always known.)

They escape later, and there’s much for Arthur to relearn about his friend, but they work together to bring magic back
