Aletheia ~ Veracious Reality

( The Aftermath (implied Merlin/Arthur, PG-13 for gore & implied violence) )

Answers merlin_flashfic's Nightmares and monsters challenge and merlin100's dance prompt.

---

1. What Dreams by suaine, PG
Summary: There was always a price. The balance of nature was transactional - one thing of a certain value required the sacrifice of equal value given up by the one who asked.

But Arthur never finished those thoughts, kept all of his heart locked up tight. Merlin knew what he was going to say anyway, knew of the way Arthur kept looking over his shoulder when he thought no one was watching. Arthur had nightmares, dreams of a world without him in it, all the more terrible for their warmth and muted beauty, hitting like a physical blow when he woke up.

2. merlin_flashfic's AU challenge will run until 22.00BST on Saturday the 13 June.

3. In lieu of #2, please answer this poll on AU Merlin fics =)

Please fill this out over @ LJ: Merlin characters' age poll! (With gratituous Narnia ticky boxes)

Happiness meme - Day 8/8

* Why are there no Merlin/Narnia icons out there?

+ Finished writing for armer_gayms' Bro Code challenge and I like it \o/

* Speaking of which, would anyone be willing to beta?
It's < 1K words, Merlin/Arthur PG-13. ETA 04/29/09: Thanks, lilithilien!

+ Ep. 13 reaction: Hell, even I would have slapped some Emergency Het in after what amounted to a spiritual blowjob.
* It actually makes me want to watch it! Well, will watch it before Season Two airs, at any rate.

+ Warm kotatsu <333

Random Eljay polls:

Original to-do:

✘ Brainstorm for holidaysmut's Tell a Story Day challenge, or

✘ Brainstorm for holidaysmut's Earth Day challenge.

✘ Brainstorm for musemuggers #285 (April 20th 2009) OPTION 1

* The Bride Wore Red
* a little nurturing
* physical manifestations
* dubious value

OPTION 3: All About Eve ( Read more... )

Mamma mia was fun. And not just because of Colin Firth either. I love singing along to the ABBA songs, esp. "Dancing Queen" *g*

* Fanfics where Harry or Draco didn't realize they were gay until middle age?
( slight spoiler ) DOES IT TOO. WHILE DANCING WITH A STRANGER NO LESS. The guy was pretty hot, but I have to rewatch the scene to figure out where he was among the dancing masses.

* I didn't realize that Donna's short friend was played by Julie Walters until the credit rolled. It was disturbing to watch Mrs Weasley performing "Take a Chance on Me" and chasing her man D:
But I can totally believe that in the Molly/Arthur relationship, Mollywobbles is the dominatrix one on top, so to speak.

* I like Sweeney Todd better, obviously-what with TheirLoveIsSoCreepyStalkeryOMG Anthony/Johanna.
