Well, I think

Apr 21, 2009 05:21

( my largely unsupported theories about Merlin, with spoilers for the Big Reveal of episode 8, which, by the way, I called from the very beginning, ha. Also for the backstories revealed in episodes 6 and 9. Owes a good deal to crabby_lioness's meta on Merlin, which are very good and interesting, and always make me think, even if I don't always agree with them, which I think is really what meta should do. )

Have you read 'Tintagel" by Seperis?

silentstep April 21 2009, 14:23:08 UTC

I haven't, no. I'll go read it now.

I am not sure what I think of it so far but

"Mm." Arthur rolls on his side, blanket sliding down one hip, shift rucked up to reveal an expanse of smooth golden skin. Merlin takes a deep breath and thinks of cold water and also, his mother, who would never approve of Merlin ogling anyone. "Sleep."

"It's morning."

Arthur eyes slit open drowsily. "Execute you."

= win.

hm. Read it. Didn't really like it, ¬ just because I disagreed with the characterizations like whoa. Thought it too melodramatic, and too easily solved at the end. And- yeah, no, it was not to my taste.

But I think I will try to respond with "execute you" to the next person who wakes me up.
