Take a chance | Arthur&Gwen

    “Where are we, anyway?” Gwen asks, shifting uncomfortably on her saddle. They had been riding for two hours already, and the previous night’s activities are disagreeing with her current mode of transportation.
    “Cornwall. King Marke’s kingdom,” Arthur says, glancing over at her. “Are you all right, Love?”
    “I could use a break, actually,” she says, blushing slightly. Arthur looks a little puzzled, but if his wife wants a break, then a break she shall have.
    “All right....

EllaRose88 gave me the prompt "Truth or Dare." Was up too late (again) last night exorcising this from my head.

    Ding.
    The doors to the lift open late on a Friday, and he steps in, smiling bashfully at the one young lady with which he always hopes to share the small space of the elevator.
    “Evening,” he says quietly.
    “Evening,” she answers back, looking shyly down at her shoes.
    God, she looks so cute tonight.
    He’s wearing that cologne again.
    Ding....

One of the waiters who had enough of watching the brutal scene occurring, rushed forward with a tray and whacked it as hard he could at Joe, who is choking Arthur.
“Arghhh!!” Joe screams and lands to his side, clutching his head.
Another waiter rushes towards Karl and breaks a bottle on his head. Karl releases Gwen, staggers due to the impact of the break and she uses the opportunity to hurry towards Arthur, helping him up. Arthur coughs as blood seeps out freely from his nose.
    “Arthur… Arthur?” Gwen calls in terrified voice. Arthur keeps coughing and...

“Well, I ain’t no gentleman, and you sure as hell ain’t no lady,” U.S. Marshall Arthur Pendragon drawled slowly from his place under a sparse tree, trying to catch a little shade. “If you want a wash in that stream, you’re gonna have to do it with me watchin’ ya.”

Gwen growled quietly in frustration. “A girl can’t get any privacy?”

“Darlin’, you gave up the right to privacy last night when I caught you climbing out of the window to the room I let you have in that inn,” he answered...

    Morgana clears her throat to gain the attention of both Arthur and Gwen. Gwen drops Arthur’s hand and smiles sheepishly at Morgana. Her friend smiles back, in tease.
    “Who is it Guinevere?” Arthur asks, his expression startled. Gwen opens her mouth.
    “It’s me… Morgana,” Morgana says immediately, cutting Gwen first.
    “Ah, Morgana,” Arthur smiles in relief. “I was scared for a while there,” he adds.
    “Whom you expecting?”
    “Merlin,”...

    “Guinevere?” Arthur is both surprised and happy to hear the voice. He didn’t expect to hear it here and so soon. He must be dreaming.
    Gwen looks beyond Arthur at Merlin and the latter just squares his shoulder, urging Gwen to carry on. Gwen looks backs at Arthur. “What are you doing here, Arthur?” she asks calmly, her voice in devoid of any emotion.
    “This is Merlin’s idea… ask him. He said he was taking me shopping,” Arthur replies with a laugh. “By the way, it’s really you isn’t it? I was right...

    Morgana paces the tiled floor of the Emergency Department, tense. Arms carelessly hanging loose by her side, lips mumbling to herself, eyes focused on the floor, she casts a sight of a forlorn figure. Gwen, who sits opposite her, looks worried watching her friend in such a state. She hates herself for what has happened. They wouldn’t be here, Morgana wouldn’t be in trouble, and Arthur wouldn’t have got knocked down if it wasn’t for her. If only she had kept her teasing until they have reached the restaurant. What was she thinking? Why did she do it? Gwen...

Tristan and Isolt's conflict of love and loyalty is one of the classic tales of Western literature; in the Arthurian tradition, their tragic tragectory rivals and complements that of Lancelot and Guinevere. The basic story is one of mis-directed love: Tristan, the heroic nephew of King Mark of Cornwall, is sent to Ireland to escort the Irish king's daughter, the beautiful Isolt, to Cornwall to become his uncle's bride. In most versions, it is during the return voyage that Tristan and Isolt accidentally consume a love potion (meant to ensure Isolt's happiness with Mark) together, and fall in...

Part 5: link

    Back in the castle, Arthur has pried himself away from Guinevere’s side to attend to his own matters, leaving her alone to get settled in. She has been puttering around the room, putting things away, setting something here, then moving it there.
    The door suddenly opens and Merlin comes striding in, candlestick in hand.
    “Your trinket, my lady,” he teases, presenting it to her across his forearm with a bow. She laughs and says, “Thank you, my lord,” and takes it. She carries it over to the bed and places...

    Elyan turns, takes a bite of his apple and picks up a satchel he has brought that has been sitting in the cart. He walks into his sister’s house, followed by Merlin. Arthur also walks toward the house, but stops in front of Gwen, who is holding his apple. She is still smiling, with a loving glow in her eyes as she watches him approach.
    “You are a wonderful man,” she says, holding the apple out for him.
    “Everyone deserves a chance,” he replies. They are now both holding the apple. Gwen leans closer, rises...

A Servant of Two Masters- Review

OMG!! What can I say? Lucy Watkins needs to write more episodes! From the intriguing title to the first trailer we saw last week we knew this was going to be completely amazing, and it was with brilliant acting from everyone and hilarious comedy!

Things I LOVED:

•Gwen- c’mon, you knew I was gonna say that! I loved how she and Gaius were like the temporary Camelot Detective Agency while Merlin was being all clumsy badass – and the JUGS!! I laughed so much when she knocked Merlin out twice and his face went all dopey! Plus her scene with about-to-have-a-bath...

Part 1: link

    Arthur steps out into the cool morning air. He looks over at his two companions. Merlin is sitting on the edge of the cart looking up at the sky and Elyan is lying in the cart, apparently dozing.
    “Guinevere’s sent some breakfast,” Arthur says as he walks over and plunks the basket down next to Elyan’s head, causing him to jump. Merlin laughs, then notices Arthur’s somewhat haunted demeanor.
    “Something wrong?” he asks.
    “Hmm?” replies Arthur, still distracted by recent memories....

“Unlike most fans, I actually haven’t objected to the lack of magic reveal. In fact, I like it a lot because of what it does for Arthur’s character. It’s easy to be frustrated with him as a viewer, because why is he such a dick? Doesn’t he know how much Merlin does for him? But the answer, you have to remember, is no. We as viewers know everything that goes on. Arthur knows next to nothing. Purely from his point of view, Merlin should have been gone a long time ago. Without his magic, as we have recently seen, Merlin is fairly useless as anything except someone who tends to recklessly...

"With All My Heart"

When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now


It’s going to all come back to her, guys. I don’t know exactly what he’s going to do to bring it back, but he is. He’s going to make her remember what they’ve had together; he’s going to make her remember what he is to her. He’s going to make her...
