After listening to Morgana, Mordred goes to find an internship at Pendragon Co. Her future boss is a posh asshole that is said to be a good man, but she has some trouble believing it at first - Morgana is not so keen of her half-brother and said to not trust him.
Her main motivation for all the trouble with Arthur is his lovely secretary (Arthur called her that, but she did everything he couldn't and was the second head of the company), Merlin.
An angry Merlin was currently at an office door, trying to say that she couldn't do everything.
"Listen, I will take care of this next week, Arthur needs help with his project."
"You're so married" said Gwaine, or the cute guy of marketing, as they called him.
Merlin rolled her eyes at that. "No, Arthur just can't live without me because he's useless", she laughed, but didn't mean it. Arthur always worked too much and tried too hard, sometimes he just didn't have the time or the mind to handle everything. His wife, Gwen, asked Merlin personally to take care of him.
"Don't let him hear that," warned Gwaine. "You know the man's ego."
"I really do," and she was about to leave, but someone interrupted them.
"Hi, excuse me," the moment the girl opened her mouth, Gwaine and Merlin looked at each other as if saying 'oh, she's cute'. "Where can I find..." she looked at a piece of paper, "Leon?"
"You're Mordred, right?" Merlin asked, but didn't let her answer. "Morgana told us about you! I kind of remember you as a kid, I think."
Mordred opened her mouth, but Gwaine interrupted. "Second door by your left, Leon's office. You should go before he leaves, but please come give us a visit after."
"Thank you, I will" and she was gone.
"What was that?" Merlin looked baffled at him.
"She looks so innocent, Merls" he said, trying to look worried.
"You think she's straight."
"I don't want you pining over Arthur's employees again. We can't go through that."
"Right. Friend of Morgana's. Looked at me and not at you. Right. But whatever, I'm not interested and she probably doesn't like old people."
"You're not old, please. I'm going to be thirty next week."
"Oh, I had forgotten that. What are we doing?"

"I think I always liked girls, but I never had the guts to ask one out."
"What would you do if you were asked out by one?"
"I'd try my best."
"Promise?" "Tomorrow, after the shift then. I know a place you'd enjoy."
'Is it your bed?' she thought, and felt herself blush, looking down and smiling.
"You just thought of something dirty, didn't you? God."

Ok, I found a corset that doesn't cover your tits.
- Mordred
"I don't even have tits", she typed back.
'course you do.
- Mordred
"Yesterday you told me I didn't need a bra."
Because I like seeing them through your shirts.
- Mordred
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR INNOCENCE?"
Never had it.
- Mordred

Things you only find at Morgana's.

Hell yea

Oh
That can be arranged
- Mordred
You're kinky today
I like it

"If I get drunk I'll probably ask you to make out with other girls."
"Why is that?"
"You're just so good with them."
"Just good for you. But yeah, we could invite someone to our bed."
"We'll always have Morgana."
"You do know that I had a thing with Morgana, right?"
"You did?"
"I was young, she's my best friend's sister, you know what happens."
"I really don't."
"We were each other's first kiss."
"Seriously?"
"Arthur wouldn't let anyone near her, but he never worried about me. So."

"I always thought I'd get nervous and faint. It's not like that with you."
Merlin smiled fondly. "We can just cuddle if you want to", she said.
"Fuck, no. I'm horny as hell."
"You always are."
"True."
"Will we cuddle after?"
"You can even sleep in my boobs."
"Now we're talking."

On Mordred's birthday, Merlin gives her another tattoo. Mordred does a merlin, watercolor-like.
(And Merlin gets herself nipple piercing as well, totally for Mordred's amusement.)
"We need someone for the softball match!”
"I do not play softball!"
“But you are a lesbian!”
“I’m the fencing lesbian! With Arthur!”
“Arthur plays softball.”
“Arthur takes every opportunity to show off her abs and be competitive.”
Elyan has no hair bc of chemo and her main life concearn is for her sister to chose the right pendragon. Keeps positive even if she keeps saying that shes already dead. Shes aces. Like really, shes an asexual lesbian.
Percy is a deadlifter and one time did push-ups with both mordred and gwaine on her back bc she said they were very tiny. Her nickname is furiosa because of the buzzcut.
Gwaine is a tiny flirty former gimnast (she refused some opportunities so she could stay with her friend merlin - ikr what a catch. She also freed her liver). Likes to annoy arthur, likes to assist percy’s lifting.
Leon left a life of living off her parent’s money so she could work with arthur. Makes effort in keeping her friends together. Has a nice tummy and ginger body hair.
Morgana is not only an activist, but also involved with witchcraft. Shes the trouble you are looking for. Has cat tattoos and dragon tattoos. Pretty bossy for an anarchist, tho. Must be the genes.
Arthur knows how to swordfight and thats not a pickup line. Not exclusively, anyway. Works too much, the business rich lesbian of your dreams. Yours, not her father’s.
Mordred is a peach tart with short puffy hair and dreamy eyes. She lives with Morgana and is fluent in many languages, including ancient druid ones. Has too many dreams. Swoons over tall women, swoons over powerful women. Too pure for this world.
Merlin’s top words are clumsy, sassy and gay. Her FAQ includes “why did you never had plastic surgery on your dumbo ears” and “what do I do when arthur does X”. Merlin is a hard worker and pulls all nighters with arthur, and totally different all nighters with mordred.
Guinevere has to hear “you dont look gay” on a daily basis and still has the patience to not be rude. She is very interested on witchcraft. And by that I mean Morgana. Shes very interested in morgana.
