More For This AU

Morgana curses Arthur to become an animal (vermin to be precise).

He is now a mouse, small, universally disgusted, and easily killable by animals and other humans. Arthur had to navigate back from Morganas hut in the forest and find his way back to his castle and to Gaius.

He knows he could be eaten by a cat or an owl, be killed by the servants who spot him in the corridors, or get lost in the now very big Camelot. It takes him a whole two days to make his way back to the citadel

Morganas plan was genius one. He was invisible and helpless. He could be killed and no one would know or realise that they had killed their king while chasing a little forest mouse.

His journey takes him inside the castle, and while he’s roaming the corridors as a small mouse when he spots Merlin.

Merlin!

As he runs up to Merlin the idiot lights up. “Hello little one :D”

He bends down and scoops Arthur up into his (surprisingly large hands).

“Oh aren’t you just a sweet little thing? Don’t worry, I won’t tell cook I found you down here. You can stay in my pocket while I tidy the kings chambers”

Arthur knew that his friend had a soft spot for all animals, but really this was taking it a step too far. Allowing some random mouse he found crawling around the floor to accompany him into The Kings Private Chambers? Just so he could have some company while he tidies? What a dollophead.

Although…in this specific scenario…he supposed he could make an exception. Just this once. And as soon as he transforms back into his human self he will be having words with his servant about this absolutely ridiculous behaviour.

But for now Arhrur is safe in his silly manservant’s pocket. Silly, lovable Merlin, who just picked up a little mouse and decided to take it with him for the day because he was bored.

He stays curled up in Merlin’s neckerchief

(And he’s so totally normal about being this close to Merlin’s strong neck and chest. If he wasn’t cursed as a mouse he would be so normal about this)

It’s much later in the evening, while him and Merlin eat off of the Kings dinner plate (again, he will be having words about this), when the warning bell sounds.

The King is Missing!

merleon as the round table parents

it started on a hunting trip, gwaine was teasing mordred and took his stuff and hid it. merlin told him very sternly to give it back and mordred said "thanks dad"

from then on they all started calling merlin dad

with leon it came slower and from lancelot. lance was struggling with his relationship with gwen and he confided in leon

leon helped him work through it and when lance left he clapped leon on the shoulder and said "thanks pops"

of course the others all found out about it and started calling him pops

neither of them fits into "mom" or "dad" categories but they each have a role

the kids go to leon when they need solid advice, when they feel like they cant handle something alone and they need a real answer to a problem

they go to merlin when theyre hurt (physically or mentally) and he helps heal them. they also go to him when they need someone to vent to and not get a real answer from, merlin is more than happy to bitch with someone and he'll hold your grudges for you

when on hunting trips, leon makes sure they have food and merlin prepares it and makes sure everyone gets their share

theyre equally protective of the kids and they'll work together to move heaven and earth for them

when they dont want to deal with the knights they try and pawn them off on each other. they ask merlin for advice and he says "oof that sounds like one for pops"

gwaine gets mad at arthur and goes to leon, who tries to give him advice, gwaine gets even more upset and leon calls for merlin because he cant handle the big shows of emotion

the kids all fight to be the favorite. arthur tells the others he has to be the favorite because he's king, leon grounds him for holding his station above the others heads

merlin's favorite changes based on how much trouble they've cause him

leon's changes based on how well they did in training

raising the knights eventually gets merleon together.

I kind of wish Viv would stop changing the lore on things

Like, don't get me wrong, changing lore can help show good development of your writing skills from where you started.

What I'm saying is that Viv has a habit of changing lore or a character base off a popular ship or theory. Not to mention, she has another habit of spilling too much about her story.

Take Sir Pentious and Cherry Bomb being in a relationship as an example. They were never supposed to be in romantic relationship, instead Sir Pentious was supposed to have feelings for Rosie.

However, the fandom started to ship Sir Pentious and Cherry together, Viv changed it so Sir Pentious would have feelings for Cherry.

I just wished altogether that Viv would step back from the fandom just a bit, so she can hopefully stop the need to change the lore of Helluva or Hazbin to please the fandom.

MK's father figures

I know this sounds like a horrible thing to say but...I kinda hate Gauis.

Like seriously... it boggles my mind that the fics I've read with Morgana views this man in such a warm light when he not only gaslights her about her magic but blames her for the choices she tries to gain her own autonomy whilst he steals it from her by keeping her in the dark of her own magic.

Like he has the audacity to compare Morgana to Merlin? He's accepting of Merlin's magic and gives him the tools to learn and control his own magic meanwhile Morgana is not only kept in the dark but given no guidance...

And it's her own fault for choosing Morgause.

Honestly out of all the "good" characters I wished died, I wish it was Gaius. I hate that he survives the series.

They should have made him a Roman with loyalties to Lucius Tiberius and then he betrays Camelot reluctantly and then we can see that scene of Gwaine loosing his temper and lopping Gaius' head off. That would've been a joy to see.

Telling Merlin that he did the right thing by murdering his friend because she chose to use her magic wrong, never mind that nobody was helping her in the first place and she was on her own. Never mind that everyone decided to initially gaslight her.

No fucking accountability.

This isn't the checkmate you think it is, Morgana. If it was on Valentines day only, that would be one thing, but every single drop is sexy. Like every drop has sexualized merch and if anything, it makes you look like a bunch of overly horny women that never got laid.

This isn't limited to the merch either. The way Vivienne writes sex and inserts porn into her shows, even dedicating several characters to it (Angel Dust, Chaz, Blitz, and Verosika) makes her look like she's inserting it just for the shock value instead of having a mature discussion around sex. It's all very "Look at how perverted and horned up us women are! Aren't you shocked?"

Like I draw and write smut too, but it's private smut that's meant for my eyes only. You do know that you can make private smut art/writing without shoving it in your shows, right?

It's so immature. Just make a non-canon porn special and get it outta your system, Viv. Jesus fucking christ.

‘cause every colour goes where you do

so real of you aubrey

merlin is trending you know what that means

MERWAINE PROPAGANDA TIME

I don't like how the fandom or the writers themself just calls octavia a cockblock.

Imagine being 17 years old, having to deal with your parents' divorce.

And deal with the fact that your only emotionally reliable parent is off with his affair partner. Or shoving his affair partner in your face even though you show signs you are very uncomfortable.

I don't think anyone in that type of situation would be happy. Or anywhere close to being a cockblock.
