How many of the knights in the kingdom know that their campaigns hang by the thread strung through the eye of a seamstress’ needle? That they would be cut raw by their own armor if it weren’t for the linen and wool beneath the metal, that their swords were held to their bodies with the stitching on their belts, that the finery of their emblazoned surcoats was nothing without the fine threads running along the seams? 

How many of the nobles in the kingdom know that their love hangs by the same?

- from The Sun at Noon

Gwen and Morgana in Camelot. The slow entwining of their lives, and the people they meet along the way. The weight of anger, of destiny, of silk and iron.

A sketch from last night. I’ve kind of taken an unintentional hiatus from drawing the last month or so. I’ve missed it! I have a couple projects to finish up, and then I’ll probably do a bit of binge practice to shake off the rust.

Hello, and welcome to the Merlin/Arthur Kiss Fest 2019!

START DATE: December 24, 2019 ; 00:00 GMT

END DATE: January 20, 2020 ; 23:59 GMT

1. This fest is aimed at the BBC Merlin fandom; more specifically its Merthur subset.

2. This fest is all about Merthur kisses. Romantic, platonic, sexual, innocent, dirty, affectionate, on the nose, on the mouth, on the neck, the back, the ars– ahem. You name it, you can create it for the fest.

This year’s fest is split into four seasons. (Did you get that hint from the banner?)

I. Spring kisses (Dec 24, 2019 - Dec 30, 2019, inclusive)

II. Summer kisses (Dec 31, 2019 - Jan 6, 2020, inclusive)

III. Autumn kisses (Jan 7, 2020 - Jan 13, 2020, inclusive)

IV. Winter kisses (Jan 14, 2020 - Jan 20, 2020, inclusive)

But mod! you ask, curious. Whatever do you mean by the idea of seasonal kisses?

It means whatever the heck you want it to mean :)

3. All creation media are accepted. Fic, art/manips, podfic, video edits, gifsets, filk, anything.

For podfics, please obtain the fic author’s prior permission to have your podfic added to this fest, and indicate that you received it when you post your work.

4. All ratings are welcome. All kinks are welcome (no kinkshaming of any kind will be tolerated). Any setting (canon, AU, canon AU, let your imagination run free) is welcome.

5. You may post your work to any website of your choice, but you have to let the mod know where you’ve posted it (via DM or Tumblr tag, though the latter is unreliable), so that they may include your work in the masterlist. Anonymous posting is allowed, and an AO3 subcollection for that purpose has been set up and linked to below.

If you have any questions, this blog has asks and DMs open. :)

This fest is a celebration of Merthur and kisses. Absolutely cannot wait for it to begin <3

The AO3 collection for the fest is: ao3.org/collections/merthur_kiss_fest_2019

The anonymous AO3 collection for the fest is: ao3.org/collections/merthur_kiss_fest_2019_anonymous

It is recommended that all creators add their work to either of these collections, but no pressure if you don’t want to.

THREE CHEERS FOR MERTHUR KISSES~

Please follow this blog to keep track of the fest! And please reblog this post so it reaches as many Merlin and Merthur fans as possible. Thank you!

Gladiator

words by @clea2011​, art by LFB72

Summary:  When Cenred and his army of sorcerers conquer Camelot, Arthur loses everything. His home, his kingdom, his father, his sister… all are taken from him and he’s forced to fight for his life for public entertainment. Thrown in with strangers, Arthur makes new friends and dangerous enemies. He knows he’s probably living on borrowed time but one man and a baby dragon just might make a difference - if he can survive his next fight.

Merlin + Arthur + butterflies is a Merlin fanartist requirement, right? ;) 

Bonus piece inspired by @touchofstrange‘s epic ACBB Lay Your Head Down on the Shoulder of a Good Friend.

No Shave November 2019

No-Shave November is a month-long journey during which participants forgo shaving and grooming* in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness.

(*you can use the money you save to donate to a charity of your choice)

I’ll post every Knight of Camelot during this month. (links to be added)

{Lancelot} {Elyan} {Percival} {Gwaine} {Leon} {Mordred} {Merlin}

Emrys the Druid Leader After lifting the ban on magic for his sister Morgana, Arthur invited the Druids to sign the peace treaty. Druid leader Emrys does not seem to be what Morgana and Sir Leon had imagined, but he seems to be exactly what the King likes.

For Marry Merthur Month 2019. Yes, I’m late to my own fest. lol I do want to colour this but I’m exhausted and already late to posting anyway so I’ll work on that tomorrow perhaps. I just really wanted to do something for this. October’s been packed.
