AHHHH THE RIIIIING AND AND I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES AT THE END ABOUT THE HANDKERCHIEF, AND AM DYING LAUGHING IMAGINING ARTHUR'S FACE WHEN HE SEES GWAINE WEARING IT. AND JUST, GWAINE, HE IS SO PERFECT. HILARIOUS AND INAPPROPRIATE BUT ALSO SO ROMANTIC AND IN LOVE, AND I PROBABLY WOULD BE CRYING LIKE MERLIN IF GWAINE EVER MADE A DECLARATION OF LOVE TO ME LIKE THAT. UGHHHHH I LOVE HIMMMMMMMMMM.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT RETELLING OF THE GREEN KNIGHT, LIKE ALL THE RIDICULOUS KISSING SHIT (SERIOUSLY LOL THE MIDDLE AGES) AND HOW IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE THAT GWAINE WOULD STEP IN IF HE FELT LIKE IT WAS MERLIN HE WAS PROTECTING AND NOT ARTHUR. SO. PERFECT.
AND OMG MORGANA. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT AT ALL, BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE HER, AND IT WAS SO PERFECT AND LOVELY AND SHE DESERVES SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE
( ... )
THIS COMMENT IS THE OPPOSITE OF OBNOXIOUS! I AM PRACTICALLY CRYING BECAUSE I WAS SO WORRIED THAT YOU WOULD HATE IT, LOL. LOVE YOOOOOOU. GWAINE'S SONG FOR MERLIN IS MY FAVORITE THING, AND HE WILL SING IT FOR HIM AT EVERY FEAST BEFORE TAKING HIM HOME AND RAVISHING HIM.
The crone was Morgan La Fey in the poem, which I did not remember AT ALL until I re-read it, but then I was like, okay, cool, it's going to be Morgana, but damn it, none of this needlessly-evil business! They need to all get back to being vaguely-sexual bffs!
UGH OF COURSE I LOVE IT!!!!!! YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD WRITER AND IT WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED!!!!
GWAINE TOTALLY WILL SERENADE MERLIN IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND ARTHUR WILL BE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNCOMFORTABLE! AMAZING.
Dude, I totally didn't remember the Morgan La Fey part from poem either! Like....wow. It has been awhile since I've read it, but man. I need to brush up on my Green Knight reading. The way you made it is soooooooooo great and appropriate for this situation. It's so true, Morgana and Merlin need to be BFFs forever!!!
OMG, thank you so much! I know it's lame to care about it too much, but I was getting sad that no one was reading this :)
I love Morgana! Legends be damned, I still think there's hope for her ♥ No matter how much they try to ruin her with lazy writing. And Gwaine is way to worldly and savvy to not at least have some idea what's going on there... especially since he's probs always staring at Merlin like a lovesick schoolgirl, AMIRITE??
Love this - Gwaine is so cute an cunning, Merlin is equally as cute and oblivious. My fav bit was the beginning when Merlin and Arthur were racing for the gauntlet and Gwaine got there first. Could just picture it lol. x
Yay, thanks!!!! I have a total fetish for pining and obliviousness; if I wrote fic more often, it would probably all be the same. Emotional stupidity galore!! I like the gauntlet bit a lot, so I'm glad you did too :)
lol seriously, the things Merlin apparently gets away with are ludicrous. I think he threw a bench in that scene, too. HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE THAT. And why did he have to use magic to throw the plates, anyway? Plates are not heavy, Merlin! (I mock you because I love you, show ♥)
I was actually kind of embarrassed about linking it at KinkMe because it was a bit self-promotion-y, but I figured since the only fill for that prompt so far was unfinished it might be appreciated. I thought about linking it to this community too, but I wussed out. I shall remain comfortably obscure, I guess :D
