Hi lovelies ♥
Been rewatching Merlin again and once more falling in love with the pretty. Morgana in particular, because she's just stunning and I totally ship her with everybody (well....maybe not with Gaius, haha). I love her with Arthur especially, but I haven't seen that many fans of this ship around. I ship everyone with anyone though, pretty much. I love me some Arthur/Merlin and Morgana/Gwen. I even kind of like Morgana/Sophia...ooo the tension! And the accusations of jealously set my Arthur/Morgana heart a-flutter!
Anyway, I have part one of a Morgana/Everyone picspam. This part has Morgana/Merlin and Morgana/Arthur.
*in a non-slutty way of course, she's a lady*
Morgana/Merlin
Because they're really adorable. Especially in the scene at the end of The Mark of Nimueh. Also, in The Beginning of the End, they are so surrogate mummy and daddy to Mordred. In the commentary for that episode, Katie says that she and Colin played this one scene as very flirty but they decided against it. Aww, I'd have liked the flirting personally. Haha. I love the fact that Merlin is one of the only people to know about Morgana's ability, they have something in common and I think that means a lot to Merlin, even though he can't say anything to her about it. When she says to him 'What if magic isn't something you choose? What if it chooses you?' the look on his face is precious!
I do have a feeling that the writers are gonna go down a path of opposites with them, showing the different ways they use their abilities. How they drift apart as you will, but I love them like they are now. But they are so obviously going to be torn apart. Although this does mean lots of angsty hate!sex possibilities, aha! At the moment, they're adorable though.
Morgana: You don't mind me talking to you about it?
Merlin: Er, no. You have no idea how hard it is to keep this hidden.
Morgana: Well, you can continue to deny it, but I think Gwen's a very lucky woman.
Merlin: Gwen?
Morgana: It's our secret.
Merlin: How is he?
Morgana: He's sleeping. He's very pale. I worry he may have lost a lot of blood.
Morgana: What if magic isn't something you choose? What if it chooses you?
Merlin: *smile*
Morgana: Why are you looking at me like that?
Merlin: Nothing.
Merlin: You can't blame yourself. You tried your best.
Morgana: It's not enough.
Merlin: He's in jail now, there's nothing more we can do.
Morgana: I will not let him die! Can I count on your help?
Merlin: *nods*
Morgana: Thank you.
Merlin: Then...there's little hope?
Morgana: There's no hope, Merlin. None at all.
Merlin: I'll make sure he is safe, my lady. I promise.
Morgana: Please Merlin. You must beware. This is only the beginning.
Morgana/Arthur
My very favourite ship! I know lots of people (on my f-list anyway) love the Merlin/Arthur, and I do as well. There is love there. But I think Morgana/Arthur have a lot of good chemistry. They know each other really well, and they conflict in a big way but there's a lot of tenderness there. Tenderness which I see in a more than brother-sisterly way. They have fireworks and passionm yet they hardly ever get close to each other. Morgana has a way with him, for definite. She almost always talks him round, into doing what she wants. A lot of the time he's just powerless to resist. I think she's his conscience in a way, and she really bloody believes in him; believes that he's better than Uther despite his self doubt. And they have childish little arguements, which Morgana usually wins. It's love, I tell ya.
And the looks! Oh my god the looks they give each other. Intense and brooding.
The conversation they have in The Gates of Avalon is awesome, and it really makes me think that they hold a torch for each other, despite the arguement they have. Then Arthur says Wouldn't be the first time now, would it? and it makes me want to know more (and imagine Morgana having a super-crush on Arthur when she was a teenager, and of course teenage Arthur would be incredibly pleased with himself and just generally intolerable over the whole thing).
Morgana: Arthur...be careful.
Arthur: *nods* See you at the feast.
Morgana: It's not every day a girl gets to save her prince.
Arthur: Um, I wouldn't exactly say I needed saving. I'm sure I would've thought of something.
Morgana: You're too proud to admit you were saved by a girl.
Arthur: Because I wasn't.
Morgana: You, know what? I wish Valiant was escorting me.
Arthur: Me too. Then I wouldn't have to listen to you.
Morgana: Fine!
Arthur: Fine!
Morgana: To offer to give up his life to save Gwen's... I guess I can't imagine any man loving me so much.
Arthur: No, I certainly can't imagine that either.
Morgana: It's because you're not like Merlin. He's a lover.
Arthur: Yeah, maybe that's because I haven't found the right person to love.
Morgana: Sadly, the age of gallantry seems to be dead. Look around and all you see are small men not big enough to fill their armour. There's not one of them able to stand for what is right.
Arthur: What do you want me to do?
Arthur: If I don't make it back, who will be the next king of Camelot? There's more than just my life at stake.
Morgana: And what kind of king would Camelot want? One who would risk his life to save that of a lowly servant? Or one who does what his father tells him to?
Arthur: If you're jealous, Morgana, it's okay to admit it.
Morgana: Don't flatter yourself!
Arthur: Come on. Wouldn't be the first time now, would it?
Arthur: You really are very sweet, Morgana.
Morgana: Why are you laughing?
Arthur: You! Your feelings, bad dreams. You don't have to make this stuff up. You can tell me the truth. It's obvious you like me.
Morgana: Less and less by the second.
Arthur: All right, whatever you say.
Morgana: You're intolerable!
Morgana: If you can't even find your own servant, what luck do you have in finding the boy?
Arthur: I'm touched by the confidence you have in my abilities, but the sooner we get started, the sooner we'll be finished.
Morgana: And this is how you will rule when you are king? You're not like your father.
Arthur: I will not betray him.
Morgana: If I know you at all, you won't stand by and let this happen. Please. If you won't do this for the boy...then do it for me.
Morgana: You shouldn't blame yourself. I'm sure you're doing everything you can.
Arthur: It's not enough.
Arthur: Morgana.
Morgana: Yes?
Arthur: I swore to him you'd never challenge his authority again. I swore that you'd learned your lesson. Tread carefully. Next time I may not be able to help you.
Morgana: Thank you. You're a better man than your father, always were.
Morgana: You cannot face it!
Arthur: Morgana, go back to bed. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Morgana: Please Arthur, I have seen terrible things. You cannot go.
Merlin: She's probably had a bad dream, sire. I'll take her to see Gaius.
Morgana: No! I will not let you go!
End.
