title: the beast and dragon, adored chars: Nimueh, Morgause (background Nimueh/Ygraine) genre: gen summary: The misadventures of sorceresses-in-training PART ONE
This was AMAZING. Morgause is just perfect and I really love Nimueh in this. I always felt so bad for her in the show, because it's not like she was totally evil and then Merlin just kills her because she was doing her job, even if it was a bit sneakily. (God, story of her life.)
Then there's the time they go bathing in that big old lake and Nimueh provokes Morgause into a riotous magical duel. Sparks fly all over the place, water plants explode, fish grow wings, lapping waters are encouraged into rocking waves, and an enjoyable time is had by all till they declare their inevitable truce.
And when they leave the lake, if it looks a bit more twinkly and magical than when they first entered, they assume it's just a bit of natural cause and effect.
Aw, thank you! I've always had a funny fondness for Nimueh based on the fact she was an epic sorceress who did absolutely ridiculous things in her first three appearances, including Cunning Disguises. Morgause is a villain with better focus, and I adore her completely, but Nimueh was unpredictable, and I'm really holding out for her return, some time.
And I'm fairly certain most anomalous circumstances in Albion can be blamed on Nimueh and Morgause larking around as they liked. :P

That part in particular made me giggle a lot.
