Five Things Meme, Post 1:

From

winterlive: five ways arthur almost found out about merlin, but didn't. if you hear a "and one way he did" at the end of that, it's not my fault.

1.) Arthur isn't entirely convinced "strange localized atmospheric conditions" explains his leap over a tree. Merlin just looks at him.

(Arthur makes Geoffrey find every book they have on weather. Geoffrey seems shocked he knows how to read. It's humiliating.)

2.) The blowjob after almost convinces Arthur he imagined the entire "Merlin makes the castle move two inches to the left" during that entire asteroid situation. The world moved, yes, but Merlin actually is just that good.

(Actually, he is, almost disturbingly so. Like he can read Arthur's mind, or something. Which if course, he can't.)

(Arthur suspects this could be called denial now.)

3.) Arthur's not one to disparage his own awesome, but "walking through fire without a scratch" probably isn't among his many, many, God so very many talents. He thinks.

(Arthur has to take a second for that one. Because, really. Fire?)

4.) Merlin's pretty cousin who seduces him one afternoon while Merlin is mysteriously visiting his mother for no particular reason does not, in fact, look exactly like Merlin in all ways. The breasts, for one. Sure, he has to squint for that one to work, but yes, looks nothing like Merlin at all. Even the ears.

(Arthur's beginning to suspect this level of denial has officially become a lifestyle choice.)

5.) The dramatic and unseemly transformation of the noblewoman who uses a rather uncomfortable mind control spell (and forcing him to wear puce and purple, which is so hideous that he almost weeps when he realizes what he's wearing) to force him into a rather discouraging marriage for the purpose of taking over Camelot and then the world while Merlin says things like "I am going to turn you into a spider" (and then she turns into a spider, strange how that worked out).

(Arthur watches Merlin viciously burn the clothing, the mattress where the nuptial night was half-completed, the bedclothes, the bed hangings, the furniture she touched, the rugs she walked on, and every piece of crockery she looked at and thinks maybe, maybe it's about time they had a talk.)

6.) The first time Merlin fucks him, terrified and golden-eyed and shaking, looking at Arthur like a miracle, Arthur says, "Tell me" and Merlin says, "I love you" and "I'm a sorcerer."

(Arthur says, "Say it again."

Merlin says, "I'm a--"

Arthur says, "Not that one."

Merlin says, "Oh.")

From

jujuberry136: Five people the 10th doctor decided not to ask to travel with him in the TARDIS.

1.) The Doctor hadn't really understood, you see, that Companion for some people (of the arachnid persuasion) translated to "soul bonded wife and mother of a thousand young", which was unfortunate as this discovery intersected with TARDIS repairs, and while Arachnol was quite articulate and intelligent, he never wants to see a spider penis being waved in his direction again.

(Nor is he hot to work out where it was supposed to go, as it seemed to dislike the existing orifices, and really, no. No. Dear God, no. That's thirty hours of running and hiding he's not getting over anytime soon.)

2.) So Cthulhu is in fact just as unpleasant as legends stated. Granted, there was that misunderstanding after that party at Lovecraft's, but still. Wouldn't think he'd hold a grudge, yeah? So did.

(And really, when your most interesting feature is driving men mad with a single look, well, no. Not to mention cleaning up the slime trails from his tentacles. TARDIS is still being a bit of a bitch about it.)

3.) Merlin

(It's a long story, but Arthur holding that damned magical sword to his chest and promising to find both his hearts in one stroke wasn't encouraging. Merlin laughing himself sick didn't help, either. Stupid humans. Mostly-humans. Arthurians. The legends lie.)

4.) Elizabeth of England

(She was brilliant, brilliant, a mind unlike any he had ever seen, a smile like the rise of the sun. He followed her for days that matched the years of her life, this brilliant, beautiful child who became the greatest queen Britain had ever known and always be alone. At the end of her life, he knelt by her bed and asked her if she wished he had asked. He showed her the stars, though, and told her of the world she had helped create, and held her hand when she died with a smile.

She told him, at the end--she told him that she'd never felt alone, not when she'd known he watched her.)

5.) Lex Luthor

(Lex suborned the TARDIS. Oh hell no.)

More forthcoming.

Um, okay, the Merlin one has me all flaily, mostly because the absolute brilliance that is number 6 and partly because of Arthur's overwhelming adorableness in his steadfast hold to what he terms "denial."

Arthur knows his Egyptian rivers. *g*

Oh, I do love 4 and 5 of the Dr. Who one, though for completely different reasons.

Thank you very much!

(Seriously, Lex Luthor on the TARDIS? Disaster.)

Okay, so my afternoon is complete with:

* (Arthur says, "Say it again."

Merlin says, "I'm a--"

Arthur says, "Not that one."

Merlin says, "Oh.")

* It's a long story, but Arthur holding that damned magical sword to his chest and promising to find both his hearts in one stroke wasn't encouraging. Merlin laughing himself sick didn't help, either.

* (Lex suborned the TARDIS. Oh hell no.)

Can't. Stop. Giggling.

*Glee* I'm glad you enjoyed it!

(Lex and TARDIS. Just. Bad idea.)

#6 of the Merlin one had me giggling outright at my desk (and was worth the odd looks from my coworkers). Hee!

Aww, thanks!

I love them all! They are amazing! ♥

Thank you!

oh m#4, purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

*hee* Thank you!

The Merlin ones were lovely, but oh god the Doctor ones were gorgeous.

Thank you! I love doing the people the Doctor's met.

I loved number 4 for the Doctor.

Because. Yes. Absolutely.

Or maybe he made her young again somehow and let her live a life of the freedom she never had among the stars. (I love Elizabeth Tudor more than I can ever say.)

Me too.

I think I've broken a bone or two falling off my chair, oh my God :D

Hee! Hopefully nothing that won't heal quickly.

Oh, the Doctor's #4. What a beautiful idea. She really was brilliant, wasn't she?

Also, #4 on the Merlin one is something I would pay a million internet dollars to read. My goodness.

Oh she was. I think of how the doctor would have reacted to her. It works for me.

#4 is done in the Merlin fandom several times. Every time, I wonder about Arthur's level of denial.

You?

Are just that awesome.

I want to put you in my pocket and take you everywhere with me.

*blushes* Thank you!

muahahahaha. "The legends lie."

[snortgiggles a really lot]

They do!

YAYE YAYE YES EXACTLY.

*GLEE*

Arthur says, "Tell me" and Merlin says, "I love you" and "I'm a sorcerer."

(Arthur says, "Say it again."

Merlin says, "I'm a--"

Arthur says, "Not that one."

Merlin says, "Oh.")

OH. \o/ *dies*

*happy*

God Elizabeth of England just broke me! So beautiful!

Thank you!

What I like about the No 1. for Dr Who is it would work for ANY of the Doctors :-) I keep giggling to myself imagining the expression of yet another Doctor.

Oh it would. Just--you know, sometimes, translations aren't as accurate as one wishes.

Oh! Oh, so wonderful. With Merlin, the running comic denial to the end, when Arthur realized what was the important truth. *happy sigh*

And the not!Companions - I love the above idea that the Doctor whisked Elizabeth away and gave her a new start. He missed his chance with Pompadour, so he was doubly determined to catch her before the end.

I like to think that, too.

All of them for Merlin were terrific culminating in #6 which was just about perfect but if I was forced to pick a favourite it would #4 for the Doctor. That ought to be canon.

Thank you!

re #6: ahaha, best reveal EVER. oh, dorks.

They totally are.

Here I am valiantly trying to resist Merlin fandom, and you insist on writing hilarious, awesome fic *shakes head*

P.S. Arachnol? Simultaneously made me LOL and shudder.

*grins* Join the dark side. We have dragons and slash!

All so absolutely brilliant. I loved Merlin the 6, but the parenthetical from 4 is absolutely brilliant: "(Arthur's beginning to suspect this level of denial has officially become a lifestyle choice.)"

And as for the Doctor's, 4 was just absolutely beautiful.

Thank you very much!

DENIAL.

Oh Arthur. <3

Also, I was wondering if I could maybe bother you for a beta? It's a Merlin AU/Crossover and I was hoping I could get someone who was only familiar with Merlin to read it and tell me if it makes sense. (It's still in my note book and needs typing up so there is no rush.)

Sure! Well, how fast do you need it back? email me at seperis at gmail.

For Merlin, #3 is hilarious and #6 is absolutely lovely.

For DW, this: And really, when your most interesting feature is driving men mad with a single look, well, no made me sporfle, but is also undoubtably true.

And #4? Made me incredibly happy. Because yes.

Thank you very much!

(Seriously, traveling with Cthulhu is not what one really wants to do very often.)

THANK YOU!

Whee! LOVED the Doctor Who ones (of course) and 4 and 5 were absolutely perfect.

Arthur's new lifestyle of denial was just hilarious :D

Thank you very much!

Arthur's an expert at denial. *nods*

6.) The first time Merlin fucks him, terrified and golden-eyed and shaking, looking at Arthur like a miracle, Arthur says, "Tell me" and Merlin says, "I love you" and "I'm a sorcerer."

(Arthur says, "Say it again."

Merlin says, "I'm a--"

Arthur says, "Not that one."

Merlin says, "Oh.")

OH GOD you are making it doubly hard to resit being sucked into the Merlin fandom when you write drabbles like these. I've been fighting off a cold and find myself not in teh mood for SGA fics so what do I do? I troll my flist and read every single Merlin fic you've recced.

Its now official...I have a new obsession. *sigh* Between Merlin and Torchwood its a miracle I even get sleep.

But you find the lovliest things. *HUGS YOU*

YES! I GET A TOASTER NOW!

I mean, Merlin is pretty and awesome and come to Merlin, there is a slash dragon and OMG IT IS SO WONDERFUL YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I mean, yay!
