Merlin and Arthur, they're eternal. Morgana and Gwen, they've only got now. They have to make the most of it.

Merlin and Arthur, they're eternal. Morgana and Gwen, they've only got now, and they've frittered far to much of now away already. They have to make the most of what they've got left.

The dragon always said it was fate with Merlin and Arthur, and he didn't lie. It was, it is. But it's not romantic, or at least, it's not romance the dragon was talking about. The boys can make it whatever they want it to be, but the fated part is just the two of them, twisted up with each other forever. They have to come back, you see. The Once and Future King can only be Future with Merlin, his once and always magician, because magic doesn't work without a magician. They don't really have a choice about it; the universe picked them. They didn't pick each other. That's fate ( ... )

Gwen and Morgana meet in secondary school, which isn't to say that they went to school together. Morgana went to a very fancy, private boarding school, but as a day student because her step father, Uther, for all his high powered job absenteeism, didn't like his children living far away. Maybe the idea was that if he was basically living at the office, then when he did manage to make it home, it would be nice to see the kids then, which is harder to do if you've sent them to a bording school in Scotland. Morgana didn't think about it like that, and Gwen never asked because she only blurted out ridiculously socially awkward things when she was nervous and Morgana, for all her fancy shoes and elegantly expensive watches, never made Gwen nervous.

During one of Morgana's (many) rebellious phases, she refused to take the car and driver Uther hired if he couldn't drop her off himself (which was always). She took the bus instead, and when she was feeling very rebellious, walked to the bus stop. That way her father's 'lackey's couldn't keep ( ... )

Sometimes, when the nightmares are particularly bad, Gwen is afraid that Morgana will never wake. That she'll lie in bed, fear clear even though she's sleeping, and be trapped in whatever horrors visit her in her dreams forever. That's Gwen's nightmare.

--- I will probably do another one because this one is so short as to not really count.

Arthur was your pretty standard 'hero', in the 'man of steel' sense. He could stop bullets w his sking and leap tall buildings in a single bound. He couldn't fly, and he wasn't super fast, but he got by. Morgana could control fire and ice, even to conjuring either out of nothing. "It's just simple chemical reactions," she'd say, "Basic science."

"Yes, but other people can't make basic science happen with their mind. Besides, the bit where you make them do what you want is not simple science," Merlin always countered ( ... )

034. Lake (1/2) anamuan December 8 2010, 04:58:09 UTC

There's a lake out back behind the school where Morgana goes to smoke. It's far enough away from school property that the county can't be held liable for any kids who fall in and drown (morbid, but true), which means it's also far enough from school property for Morgana to keep from getting caught. The school administration frowns very heavily upon students smoking, even on their own time; Morgana feels the state and health of her lungs is her own business, and if she wants to make foolish, self-destructive decisions that may lead to icky black lungs and cancer, that's really her own issue ( ... )

When Gwen gets called up, Morgana tried to volunteer, to follow her out, wherever, because she couldn't stand the thought of sweet, gentle, kind-hearted Gwen going out into the mouth of disaster alone. Gwen had been a science track, all bio, pre-med courses in high school, and the army was desperately short of medics, so at least Morgana didn't have to worry about them trying to get Gwen to shoot people--she'd never have lasted--but Morgana still hated the idea of all the pain Gwen would see, all the suffering and the misery and all the ones she wouldn't be able to save, so when Gwen gets called up, Morgana went down with her and tried to volunteer. Eight months short of her eighteenth birthday, they wouldn't let her. Two weeks later, Gwen goes out alone ( ... )
