Merlin watches the knights train the way the average lesbian watches women’s wrestling. That is to say, homosexually.

Summary:

While Merlin and Gwaine attempt to win a bet against Arthur by trying monogamy for a week, Elyan looks to someone new to take the edge off. Elyan finds Lancelot’s unending nobility rather off-putting, but he’s pretty sure he can corrupt him.

The fact that Lancelot is secretly a chaotic dumpster-fire of a human being with a penchant for well-intentioned treason is a source of dramatic irony that’s fun for all--erm, most--ages.

Featuring casual sex, some fun-poking at monogamy, and two storage closets used for two (different) illicit purposes.

Chapters: 1/6

Summary: Elyan Smith, co-owner of tattoo and piercing studio The Forge with his sister, Gwen, is growing tired of the monotony small and trendy tattoo designs brings. So when Merlin walks in with a blank ribcage and a fresh idea, Elyan is more than happy to comply with their request. But he quickly realises that he is perhaps pouring his heart into something other than just the tattoo itself...

Opening:

Elyan didn’t believe in fairytales. He didn’t believe in grand and sudden love, or the type of romance that would sweep him off his feet, nor did he believe that there was only one person for everyone. He didn’t believe in destiny or fate bringing two people together across time and space to meet one another and build a fantastic life together. What he did believe in, however, was incredibly hot people.

Incredibly hot people like the one who had just walked into his tattoo parlour.

The rain from the morning had faded to puddles on the pavement and had been replaced with an unforgiving wind that bit at Elyan’s exposed ankles when the door was opened. Elyan, in the middle of eating a cheese sandwich and trying not to get crumbs on his copy of Much Ado About Nothing, didn’t look up until the door had closed again. At the soft sound, he raised his head and was met with a tall figure lingering awkwardly on the mat.

Their cheeks were dusted with a diluted red from the cold, mouth buried in a large tartan scarf, and their thick black hair was spotted with raindrops from the beginnings of a fresh shower. ‘Hi, I, uh—I was wondering if there were any available tattoo appointments?’

Excerpted from Merlin Wyllt’s interview with Elyan Silvers in Rolling Stone:

RS: What was it like rising to international stardom, what feels like almost overnight? ES: It definitely wasn’t overnight, you know? There was a lot of work that went into my success, from a lot of people. My family put up with me when I was young and wanted to learn every instrument I could get my hands on. My sister Gwen nearly strangled me once with the strings of this Japanese koto a friend of mine gave me when I was 16. I practiced that thing for hours, but could never get it to make any sound other than a horrible screeching noise, so I don’t blame her (laugh). RS: It must have been fun growing up with you. ES: She would definitely disagree! And my dad put a lot of money into music lessons for me when I was a kid. I’ll always be grateful to him, he sacrificed a lot to let me chase my dream. I really couldn’t have asked for a better family, really. RS: You know I have to ask you about the elephant in the room. ES: Oh god let me run away (laugh). RS: You’ve never been shy about being gay. How has that impacted your life, and your career? ES: It’s been hard at times. I was raised to believe that I should always be my most authentic self, and if anyone has a problem with it then that’s on them. So even though it might have cost me some opportunities in the beginning, and might still even now, I have to believe that I’m better off without them. I never had to come out to my family growing up, because they made me feel like there was never a need to be in the closet to begin with. And honestly it’s all been worth it I think. RS: So are you single? ES: Now we’re getting too personal I think! But I wouldn’t say no to your number.
