Wayward Mixes Round 23 - Gwaine

Feb 20, 2014 15:44

Fandom: BBC Merlin
Subject: Gwaine
Title: Ain't Paved With Gold






Ok, so Gwaine. He was born a noble - the son of a knight. After his father's death his family were left destitute, and so he left home, choosing a life of drinking, and refusing to put down roots. He ended up saving Arthur's life in a pub brawl. Gwaine was dismayed to learn he had saved a prince and wanted  to leave as soon as possible, even refusing a reward from the king.

He was ultimtely banished by Uther for attacking evil magic people disguised as knights. However, he was still willing to help Merlin nd Arthur when asked (leading to deep and meaningful discussions of friendship around fires)

Eventually the overwhelming power of Merlin's Merlin-ness and Arthur's nobility convinced him to become a knight of the round table (although we have no evidence that the drinking/troublemaking stopped).

Gwaine is carefree, loyal, a good fighter, and a flirt.

I never wanna stop on nights like this/no fights on nights like this/just right on nights like this/no might resists on nights like this

- (coffee's for closers) - Fall Out Boy

And oh baby, when they made me, they broke the mould/Girls used to follow me around then I got cold

- DayGlo - Iglu and Hartley

Fuckin' free like a bird/But I don't fly much/And I like how you like my touch

- Here It Goes Again - Ok Go

It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of the reserve



- Ain't no rest for the wicked - Cage the Elephant

Oh no I can't slow down/I can't hold back

- Let 'em come - Scroobius Pip

See we choose to cruise a route that ain't paved with gold/So our shoes don't slip they stick and grip this road

- Go with the flow - Queen's of the Stone Age

I can't make you hang around/I can't wash you off my skin

- Memorial - Dan le Sac ft Emmy The Great

Your blue eyes are trying to tell me something/I already know/So let it go/Let it die



Despite their close friendship, Gwaine never found out about Merlin's magic (although I'm still pretty convinced Gwaine knew all along).
