I HAVE JUST HAD A BRILLIANT IDEA.

[glass_moment]

So Tortall and Camelot are totally neighboring kingdoms, y/y?

ETA: unlocking this because it requires fiercynn's attention.

ETA2: this thread/idea is officially open for as much input as anyone wants to throw in. Brainstorming party ahoy!

DUUUUDE.

[glass_moment]

I KNOW RIGHT.

(Arthur and Alanna must have a duel. As soon as I can figure out who would win.)

[vensre]

Geez, I don't know who would win. ::bites lip:: Would they be facing each other in a tournament, or is that a personal challenge?

[glass_moment]

Exactly, right? I think a personal challenge would be pretty epic. Say, pre-series Merlin and maybe ITHOTG there's a delegation from Tortall that comes to Camelot because they're considering marrying Morgana off to Jonathan. Arthur makes some insulting insinuating comment about how attached Jonathan is to his squire (probably 'cause he's secretly got a crush on Alanna, 'cause can't you just see that?) and Jonathan would totally brush it off but Alanna with her temper challenges Arthur to a duel for insulting the honor of her prince.

...not that I'm, um, thinking about this at all. Or anything.

Also, Merlin's Gift is gold. It correlates with his eye color and everything! Meant to be, I tell you.

[vensre]

::whimpering:: I really need this to be a fic, so I can read it over and over. Please, please pleaseplease.

I wonder how Morgana and Jonathan would get along?

[glass_moment]

I really think I can't not write this now, it's just a matter of how exactly to do it. Maybe a sort of history of the interaction of Tortall and Camelot, so I don't have to stick to just one time period.

Probably well, after an initial period of hostility on Morgana's part. Except I bet Uther kicks the whole delegation out for using magic just when things are going well.

[vensre]

It'd be difficult to describe how much I'm physically flailing over this idea. The multiple time period idea would be ideal. Here for you if you'd like a sounding board, of course! :D :D

[glass_moment]

I don't really know what I'm doing with this yet, but rest assured that something will come out of it! And please feel free to scribble out random ideas/go in your own direction/write a whole other piece/whatever with it.

This is all your fault, you know. You left me that prompt and then I thought, huh, what unknown animal could I use? And for some reason the image of a kudarung following Gwen around popped into my mind. Which, for, one, CUTE. And then I went....wait a minute....

[vensre]

::FLAILS::

I mean, oh good! Instigating awesome plots may just be my favorite hobby.

I suppose if I'm going to be working on this, I should probably reread all the books, yes? BETTER GET STARTED, YEP!

[glass_moment]

Hee! Probably!

Question of the moment: what Tortall character would be the most fun to throw Merlin in with?

[vensre]

George Cooper. *___*

[glass_moment]

That was my first instinct.

Then I thought I might die of awesomeness overload. Can you imagine the shenanigans they'd get up to?

[vensre]

Yes. I may or may not have just thrown my back out dancing around the room like a maniac.

[glass_moment]

Oh dear. *hands you ice pack*

Now I just have to figure out what George is doing there in the first place...

[vensre]

Nah, I'm all right. My shoulder still slips out of joint from time to time, is all.

Let's seee~!

So George is in Camelot checking out the underground because of weird rumours of upheaval, magical crises, and a vanished philosopher's stone. I think he should slip into the castle and just be poking around, maybe even head down to see the dragon, and run into Merlin there!

[glass_moment]

Ooh, brilliant. Definitely have to work the dragon in there somewhere. Kitten and Daine probably should pay a visit later on in this 'verse...
