AU: The battle of Tumblann

About the AU: Under the graphics.
Notes: Remember, especially if you never had a Twitter account, that the reading order is from bottom to top, unless there's a convo (the tweets linked through the vertical colored line). I will add a note under the pic to specify the reading order.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Graphic): Twitter graphic made all by-hand, with much moving/copy/pasting. No template site. Since I created my own template, it doesn't reflect recent changes over Twitter (I have no intention of modify my template).
Disclaimer: Don't own anything on this.
Crossposted: Dreamwidth, Deviantart (Dyed pigeon, Jacuzzi, Mr. Merlin, Royal Scribe, Sleeping in a three), Tumblr (Dyed pigeon, Jacuzzi, Mr. Merlin, Royal Scribe, Sleeping in a three). The "Jacuzzi" has also been posted at pornalot's second bonus challenge.

About the graphic: Twitter delivers messages, hence a pigeon, and, since it's blue, it's clearly a dyed pigeon. Arthur's logic is sound.

About the graphic: Arthur rather quickly embraces all the luxuries of modern technologies. No matter how Merlin insists, he's still not convinced that there's no sorcery involved in the hot water tap nor in the functioning of a jacuzzi.

About the graphic: The existence of Camelot is a historical fact in this AU. The prophecy of Arthur's return is widely-know and it's said that, with Merlin, he will bring a long time of peace.
People, in hope to either prove the body of the Once and Future King is resting in the waters or to find Excalibur, dive in the lake of Avalon despite the ban. They find nothing, but they manage to annoy the poor Freya - who still inhabits those waters - and, at times, she shows her annoyance by provoking violent waves on the otherwise flat surface.
Notes: Mr.Merlin is an American sitcom.

About the graphic: Merlin keeps an official identity, the old Merlin (bearded, grumpy, sarcastic) and a more private one, the Professor and Historian Gaius de Bois. Officially, Gaius is Merlin's nephew - although Merlin never explained how the young professor is related to him.
Arthur gets pretty much tired of this double identity thing and does his best to make Merlin drop the mask without actively exposing him.

About the graphic: All the legends about Merlin, his birth, his life pre-Camelot and - especially - post-Camelot, amuse Arthur no end, and he likes to comment about them.

About the AU
It's the 21th century like we know it, but magic is widely spread and has long since become part of everyday life. The legend of the Once and Future King is real and the people of England are eagerly awaiting for his return. Officially Merlin (with the appearance of Dragoon the Great) is known to hide somewhere and it's said that he will reveal himself when his king will be back; for now Merlin lives his life as the young Professor Gaius de Bois, teaching Medieval History at the University of Avalon and being a renowned historian for his expertise in the Matter of Britain.
When Arthur finally emerges from the Lake of Avalon, he can live his new modern life without changing name nor hiding his true identity, while Merlin returns and keeps his two identities: the official old warlock and the young Professor, claiming that the young Gaius is his nephew.
Although the fact they are lovers is just a rumor, and they've never given any hint that the rumor is true, Arthur and Merlin are in a romantic relationship so they do share the royal bed.
Intrigued by the fact people had told his story, Arthur - without a kingdom to rule and generally something to do with his time - embarks on the quest to read all books and see all movies and shows about him, to either laugh or wonder what exactly Merlin had done in all these centuries when people twisted the true story about Camelot into something that has little to do with the original. He eventually discovers social media and becomes pretty much addicted to it. He will go down the Hell path when he will eventually sign up to Tumblr, but that's another story for another graphic...
