I'm going to finally watch the series finale of Merlin tonight, so it'd be great if I found some links to nice fluffy fics after so I have something to read to stop me from crying through the whole night. Please.

Doesn't even have to be Merthur. Brolin, Sterek, Drarry, Phlint, Johnlock, McFassy,... As long as it's fluffy, it's what I need.

They're just so cute together. I'm going to miss this so much.

Haven't watched the last two episodes yet. (I wanted to, but chickened out...) But I know how it ended because I accidentaly stumbled over a spoiler on fb...

Well, I wanted to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

And here, have my awesome art. xD

That's my head canon for the end of the show. :)

I joined knightsinarmour a while ago and it seemed like such a good idea. But now I realized I'm not really in the mood to complete the challenges... And when I found one that looks interesting, I totally don't understand what I am supposed to do. :D

I feel like such a bad team member...

Let's start with stuff.

Now, Merlin! Or more like Colin and Bradley.

I know it's probably in every Merlin fan's post on lj right now, but it's completely precious.

And Hobbit!!!

I admit I kept dozing off in the second half of the movie, but that's not because it was bad, it was because I had only five hours of sleep the night before and a twelve hour work shift.

Martin Freeman is awesome actor and he is perfect as a hobbit. He simply fits.
Richard Armitage as a dwarf prince... Well, 'ngh' would describe it the best I think.
I totally saw Benedict in that one Necromancer scene. I think I squeed a little. And yes, I'm a cumberbitch. Surpriiiiise! xD

I went in cosplay my fantasy cosplay, not really related to the movie. In my head I call it "girl!Merlin as Arthur's queen" cosplay, but don't tell anyone. xD

I don't usually do this, but I snapped a photo of myself in front of the mirror.

( the pic is under a cut )

And yes, you can't see them in the picture, but my mini!Emrys-Pendragon couple is safe and warm in my cleavage. They were there the whole time. And they liked the movie too. :)

Gwen's a bitch. I can finally hate her without feeling bad. xD

Loved the old!Merlin scenes. Laughed like crazy.

But the best part, MERLIN CRYING OVER HIS DYING BOYFRIEND!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
And then the TOTAL RELIEF AND HAPPINESS ON HIS FACE!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
And the talk that followed with Arthur SO SURE MERLIN WOULD NEVER HURT HIM!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥


Also, please, LET MORDRED BE A GOOD GUY. PRETTY, PRETTY PLEASE!!! I have a thing for a knight!Mordred. Just haven't decided on a pairing for him yet. xD

WHAT. THE. FUCK??!

I was scared to watch all this time and it turns out I was mostly right to be!



I hate what writers did this time! I HATE IT! HOW COULD THEY LET MERLIN SAY IT! HOW COULD THEY!!!

Yes, I get that he's becoming ruthless, but Arthur was asking him for his opinion, he was completely open and trusting, and MERLIN LIED TO HIS FACE AGAIN?

THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!!!

Also, I'm starting to sort of hate Kilgarrah because he tends to make things worse. Damn...


On happier note, jealous!Merlin! He's sooooo obvious. :D

I need my boys to be crazy about each other and exclusively each other, so no Merlin/Arthur/Mordred for me. Only if Merlin/Arthur was established relationship with Mordred 'visiting' in their bed. :D

Okay, I have to say it was not what I expected after watching the trailer.


I was ready for Arthur's heartbreaking meeting with his father and lots of angst and yes, it was there, but I thought it would be just some nondescript poltergeist terorizing Camelot, not Uther himself. Well, it worked better this way. :)

I liked all the Merlin/Arthur interactions, even with the usual "hitting Merlin to show affection" stuff.

And that final scene with Arthur pulling on his glove. I don't know how about you, but I have a very dirty mind, so I found it really suggestive. :D

In fact, I think writers just made dom!Arthur canon. :D

Back to the plot. I totally loved the talk between Merlin and Uther. "In your face, Uther! In your face," I was shouting at the screen of my laptop.

And yes, so close to the magic reveal. But I'm glad it didn't happen this way. I'm just wondering what must be going through Arthur's mind now. It would be great if they revisited it in future.

All in all, I'm even more convinced now that Arthur is getting ready for accepting magic.

Also, I like that they completely avoid the topic of where Gwen sleeps. I can still live in my bubble of denial where she's just the queen and not really Arthur's wife. :)

I'm a huge fan of hurt/comfort, so...

to non-Czech visitors of my lj: this is a diary for our trip to Pierrefonds. It's completely in Czech, but I'll try to translate to English soon. :)

Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: PG

Summary: Arthur rode as quickly as he dared with Merlin seated in front of him. His hand often strayed to Merlin’s belly where only few weeks ago a new life had been blooming. A small part of him still hoped that he wasn’t too late to save both Merlin and their child, even when the rest of him was already mourning the loss.
A/N: I borrowed the title from the lyrics of the song "Endlessly" by Muse.
