Between Destiny and Desire

Chapter 39: To Paint with Poison

“I care not whether I marry,” she said instead, adopting an icy tone. “I’m content to die a spinster. But I agree that there is something to uncover. Leave this to me, and see to your duties.”

Merlin’s hand dropped from the door handle. He looked between her and the prince. Arthur tilted his head, a casual approval of Morgana’s command. She rose and breezed past Merlin at the chamber entrance, shoulder glancing his.

“Morgana!” Arthur called.

She froze. Inches from Merlin, she could feel the light of his essence pulsing outward, stretching towards her. Gods, she wanted to turn towards it, to reach towards his steady, unending flame. She wanted to push it away, snuff it out.

Instead of doing either, she turned to Arthur. “Hm?”

The prince smiled brilliantly. “It’s good to have you back.”

The words were a smooth salve over a fiery wound. The corner of Morgana’s mouth lifted. She said nothing and left the chambers,

Morgana continues reintegrating herself into Camelot.

I shipped Mercelot bc Lancelot might be the only person (other than Gaius) to truly see and love Merlin for what he is and I ship Mergana because they're probably the only two person who truly understand each other down to every pains and bone but can never see eye to eye.

#to be loved is to be known #the way mergana paralleled each other made me sick #and mercelot is so pure except they both love other people #mergana #mercelot #bbc merlin

Merlin stops interacting with Morgana after The Nightmare begins up to the Fires? In The Witch's quickening he just stalks her as far as I remember.

Mergana fic that goes along the line of "you only have spot for one pendragon in your heart" (Sad, angry, knowing) get me going crazy.

It was love at the worst / It was what we deserved

I love Mergana so much especially post-poisoning. The angst is delicious mwah!

Not that Morgana needed to be saved in Merlin and Arthur's way – poison was the cure – but still when Gwen is evil, it's "this can't be, she must be enchanted, she is GOOD, I will go to the heaven and hell and pray to all gods to have her back", but when there's only a hint of one wrongdoing, when there's only a bleak prophecy for Morgana – "I abandon her to the evil she belongs."

Between Destiny and Desire

Chapter 38: To Swallow the Stars

“So the blame lies with me,” she uttered.

Merlin leaned towards her. His voice hovered near her ear, a hiss of a whisper. “If you want to avoid the fate Kilgharrah described,” he said, “then some fucking remorse is in order.”

It would have hurt less if he’d slapped her. She grabbed Merlin’s hand—the one he’d just healed—and gripped viciously. “You lied to me. About the poison. About the dragon. About my fate.”

“I didn’t want you to—”

“You don’t think I feel remorse?” Morgana’s chest tightened. Her heart was beating rapidly, but her lungs wouldn’t expand far enough for her to get a real breath. Her vision started to blacken. “I can’t even begin to think about what I caused with the Hounds. If I contemplate it—gods, the bodies, the blood—I won’t be able to live with myself. I have to keep living. My anger is the only anchor I have, Merlin.”

“Your only anchor?” he said, voice small, wounded.

Merlin and Morgana readjust to castle life.
