Knights of the Round Table Found Family Head
Canon
(Does this fit with historical context? No. Does this fit with the show? Maybe but unlikely. Did I have fun thinking about it? Absolutely.)
One of the first knightly shenanigans the round table boys did together when they got back to Camelot was to basically just set up in whichever rooms were closest to eachother (besides Leon, who would later regret not joining these shenanigans) and just not moving. There was so much uproar that it didn't even register as an issue, especially because Lancelot and Percival were sharing one because neither wanted to be the one to shuffle someone out of the rooms next door.
But also, none of these men were overly used to having rooms of their own, so it just turned into a common room type place? Like two rooms eventually got all the beds and thats where sleeping happens but the other room just kinda... became their own version of a home?
Because if you think about it, the commoner knights were commoners, who had a very different version of living to nobility. And I can see these guys trying to be proper nobility but hating how... isolating it is. And while they can go to the tavern every night for company, it's really far and people look at them like they're different now. So it starts out with them all congregating together after meals in one of the rooms so that they could be themselves for a little while(and Merlin, Arthur, Gwen, or Leon would join them because honestly, it was nice to just exist around eachother as equals) And thats obviously not very efficient because it was never the same room and sometimes one of them would be trying to sleep because they had an early patrol, so it was really just a matter of logic to move the beds into two rooms and have one common room, so Elyan moves his bed into Gwaine's room but eventually musical beds happens until everyone is happy with the arrangement (I always like to put Gwaine with Percival even if I'm not shipping them because their dynamic makes me happy but like, it's up to you who goes where).
Then eventually things have calmed down and the Steward is like "what... the fuck?" But in polite speak. And goes to Merlin, who everyone goes to for things regarding the Round Table people because he's the only one who understands the dynamic fully, and he goes on about how this isn't how it's supposed to be and they're going to make scandals and everything is terrible and he has to fix it. And Merlin listens to his grievances and eventually just says, real politely, "listen, I know they're unconventional, but they're knights and it's been approved by Prince Regent Arthur, but I will make sure that your worries are addressed to him." Because he's at the point where he's #TiredOfEverything. And he does bring it up to Arthur, who mulls it over for roughly 2.45 minutes and basically just says "ehhh, it isn't hurting anything and it makes them happy" and there's A Look that translates to "and I enjoy it too" so they end up just letting them and it becomes one of those things that happens in Camelot that everyone knows but now it's just a thing.
And the absolutely chaotic energy of the boys living together lends itself to some pretty baller shenanigans, but also some pretty fucking good bonding.

"Daddy, why do you only have one leg when Mommy has two?"
Hello! This request was written by @astrid-foreverythingelse! Hope you enjoy!
“Daddy, why do you only have one leg when Mommy has two?”
Hiccup looked up from the vegetables he was chopping into the curious eyes of his daughter across from him. A piece of parchment with a crude drawing of sheep in a pasture lay forgotten in front of her. However, the charcoal remained in her hand as she absentmindedly fiddled with it, waiting patiently for her father’s response.
Hiccup glanced down at his prosthetic and then back to his daughter. “I have two legs! See?” he said, stepping around the table and dancing in a small circle.
Zephyr laughed. “No, Daddy! How come Mommy has two normal legs and you have a metal one!”
“Well, I’d hardly call your mother’s legs normal,” he joked, earning him a punch in the arm from his wife. She scooped up some of the vegetables and playfully glared at him, crossing the room to the firepit as Hiccup massaged his sore arm.
“Daddy,” Zephyr insisted through giggles. “Uncle Tuffie said a troll took it ‘acuz you wouldn’t give him a buckle off your s’irt. Is that true?”
Astrid snorted over by the firepit, and Hiccup rolled his eyes. “You’re absolutely right Zephyr,” Astrid said before Hiccup could say a word. “Your Daddy loves his shirt buckles so much that he let a troll take his leg instead of losing one.”

I’ve had so many ideas for fics since getting active in the fandom, and while I’ve written pieces of things, I haven’t finished anything yet. So, I want to release some of these ideas into the wild for anyone interested to run with. If it ends up inspiring me further later, well, the more the merrier, right?
“I would not allow Merlin to be executed under any circumstances,” Arthur said. “I mean it. He could practice magic under the king’s nose, and I would still see no harm come to him.”
Uther tells Arthur to reward Merlin after he publicly saves his life again. Instead of giving him money or some other minor gift the king might recommend, Arthur decides to give him an education worthy of a noble, which carries implications.
A blizzard overwhelms Camelot while Arthur, Merlin, and the knights are on a patrol. The life-threatening weather forces them to seek refuge, and the nearest sanctuary turns out to be a magical temple. After learning Arthur’s identity the temple guardians/priestesses intend to refuse them shelter. Merlin reveals himself as Emrys to ensure their entry.

My entry for June 27, prompt: kidnapping
If anyone has writing prompts for the ship Merlin/Knights of Camelot, please share them with me! I really want to write a fic with that ship, but don’t have any ideas for the premise right now. I will be forever grateful!
*Please wait to post your entries until the fest begins! It makes running the fest much easier for our guild keepers.
Welcome to The Guild's Next Quest!
[Before we continue, big thank you to @camelotsheart for this beautiful gif!!]
This week long mini fest is a Prompt Quest! There will be an overall, general theme to stick to, and then 7 Prompts (one for each day) will be provided centering around the theme, for you to use in your fanworks if you so choose!
This week we are doing things a little differently! We will have Double Prompts.
By this we mean, writers will have a daily couple prompt. There will be alternate prompts offered, though, if a particular couple does not resonate with you but you still wish to participate everyday.
This weeks Theme: Polyamory Appreciation Week!
Your Quest this week is to use the prompts below in your Poly love-filled fanworks!
You do not have to participate everyday, if a particular prompt does not resonate with you! If you wish to make a fanwork for each day, that is spectacular and we cannot wait to see what you do! If you only want to do a few days, or even just one, that is still great and we can't wait to see what you do!

***For Polyam Appreciation Week (lovingly acronym-ed PAW), we do require any works created contain a theme of polyamory! Gifmakers, editors and those who take from Merlin Footage, obviously have some leeway with this, but the implication at least should be there! This is Polyamory Appreciation Week, let's see some love for Poly love!!***
Fanfiction: 500 words minimum (no maxiumum!) Artwork: 1 completed work minimum (when it comes to completed, we trust that whatever you create you believe is complete. That means that works do not have to have color or anything special. Whatever you believe is complete is good for us!)

Summary: Based off of prompt #57. Hiccup tries to befriend the Armorwing, and it’s all going well until his prosthetic falls off and the dragon tries to help and weld it back on.
Hiccup cautiously approached the Armorwing, left hand outstretched. The dragon flicked its tail in agitation, snapped out at him, and Hiccup jumped back.
“Whoa, whoa! It’s okay! It’s me! Remember me? I helped you!”
“Yeah, and we also got it attacked by Singetails,” Snotlout said, folding his arms, and Hiccup looked to him with a roll of his eyes.
“Snotlout, the Flyers would have come after the Armorwing anyway,” Hiccup explained. “You know, because of the Dragon Eye lens.” He stepped away from the dragon, closer to his friends, who were in the bushes. He rubbed at his chin. “Maybe he’s afraid because there’s so many people around.”
“Hiccup, what are you suggesting?” Astrid asked.
“Maybe if I was given some time alone with him, he’d-”
“Uh-uh,” Fishlegs said, stepping forward. “No way, Hiccup. This dragon’s not tame in any way.”
Toothless made a rumbling noise as if in agreement, nudged Hiccup in the side.
“Look, guys, I know what I’m doing,” Hiccup assured them. “I trained a Night Fury after all.”
“Really, Hiccup? You’re gonna bring that up?” Tuffnut questioned.
“I mean, yeah.” Hiccup scratched at his head. “Look, what else do you want me to do?”
“Maybe leave the dragon alone,” Ruffnut said. “We don’t have to train it. We can just leave it scrap metal and go.”
“And get scorched in the process?” Hiccup asked, folding his arms, jutting out one hip. “No way. I’m doing this, okay? And besides, what if I can actually train it? Wouldn’t that be cool?”
Snotlout sighed in defeat. “Have fun losing another limb.”
“Great.” Hiccup wasn’t going to let anyone else argue with him. “So the rest of you take Toothless, and uh, go check out the island, I guess.”
“Shouldn’t we at least leave Toothless with you?” Fishlegs seemed nervous.
“He’ll just freak out the Armorwing,” Hiccup pointed out, gesturing to the dragon behind him. “Guys, I’ll be fine.”

Some additional kisses from the notes; Perwaine 'kiss to distract from pain' and Lancelot/Merlin/Gwaine 'kisses on scars'
Kisses on scars for now. I have an idea for the other one too, so I'll probably reblog this post some time this weekend to add it
Merlin's room was all of their favorite, given how it had been where both Gwaine and Lancelot had really gotten to know the servant, but unfortunately the bed was a bit too small for all three of them. They'd relocated to Lancelot's chambers, since his bed was as big as Gwaine's but his room was significantly neater. Or at least it was until they'd hastily undressed each other and strewn clothes and armor all across the floor.
The three men lay naked in the bed, sprawled across it and each other. Gwaine, who was sitting up slightly with his back against the headboard, looked out over his two lovers, mentally cataloguing everything he loved about their bodies. Merlin lay on his stomach with his head on Lancelot's chest, with the knight's own head in Gwaine's lap facing upwards.
From there, he could run a calloused thumb over the two distinct scars on his face. The one on his forehead, a barely-there line that started between his eyebrows and stretched up and to the side an inch and a half, was apparently from his childhood, though he couldn't remember where exactly. The scar on his cheek was much more recent, from his time as a cage fighter, and more raised. Gwaine loved to feel it against his own face when they kissed or under his thumb when he took Lancelot's head in his hands. Like all of them, he had scars on the rest of his body too, but most of his notable ones, such as the talon mark from the griffin on his side and the sword cut on his shoulder from when he helped retake the castle from Morgana and her immortal army, were either on his back or otherwise hidden from view by Merlin lying on top of him. He gazed up lovingly at Gwaine as the knight stroked a thumb over the scar on his forehead. His own hand was tangled in Merlin's hair where his head lay on his chest as he dozed off.
Many of the servant's own scars were on his back and visible. There was the mace blow from when he had first met Arthur, and the serket sting right beside it. That one was fairly new, and it had taken his lovers months to bully the story about it out of him. And right by the two of them was the scar from the fomorrah at the base of his neck. The whole cluster was still painful sometimes, so Gwaine avoided touching it. Instead, he leaned over his sleeping friend to press a kiss between the scars. The servant stirred, but didn't wake. Normally he was an incredibly light sleeper and would be out of bed at the slightest indication of danger or trouble, so it was a sign of how much he trusted Lancelot and Gwaine that he could let his guard down enough that even his unconsciousness knew not to be afraid.
"Where's this one from?" Lancelot asked, reaching up with his free hand to a scar on Gwaine's stomach. He must've noticed the knight paying attention to the marks of injury on his and Merlin's skin.
"I honestly don't remember," he admitted. "I have so many; it's hard to keep track."
"Merlin and I will help," Lance said. Keeping his chest as still as possible so as not to disturb Merlin, he turned his head to the side to press a kiss to the scar before following their other boyfriend to sleep.
