I like Morgana as a character because i headcanon him to be more of an early teen rather than a late teen so that his crush on Ann is less gross and more "aww thats so cute, he has a crush on an older girl he looks up to and has no real chance with". Also I adore the Joker and Morgana dynamic as a younger and older brother duo.
⤷ female, ambiguous race, and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!
a/n: season 2/3 Morgana, she has her hatred for Uther but it hasn’t spread to all areas of her life yet
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ
𝑨 = 𝑨𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Morgana is very affectionate with you. Even in public - however, that’s a bit more controlled. She’ll do the nose scrunch (like Wanda does), kiss your cheek, or hold your cheek in her hand lovingly before she has to leave.
When you’re in private she’s much looser with her affection. Always giving you a kiss whenever you’re near, holding you from behind, giving you long kisses on your neck.
Morgana is a very hands-on type of person when she’s with you. There’s a lot of hate in her heart, but there’s also a lot of love. And when you’re with her, all that hate seems to alleviate.
𝑩 = 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚 (What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?)
𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚: Morgana thinks your open mind and progressiveness is the most beautiful thing about you. It’s difficult having a family that’s so traditional. Especially when who you are doesn’t align with their beliefs - you share that with Morgana. The feelings of being the odd one out, and keeping a secret that if anyone found out - there could be dire consequences.
So she feels even closer to you, sharing both the secret of her sexuality and her magic.
𝑷𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚:
Your eyes. She can look into them and find so many things; feelings, thoughts, emotions. She could be across the room, look at you and see exactly what you’re thinking.
𝑪 = 𝑪𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒔 (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
She LOVES to cuddle! Anytime you’re alone in her rooms, she wants to snuggle up to you, even with her outside clothes on. She’ll pull you onto the bed and nuzzle her face into your neck.
Morgana doesn’t really get affection anywhere else. Even when she was on good terms with Uther, he still wasn’t the most affectionate person. So when you came into her life and hugged, kissed, and held her, she was ... addicted.
𝑫 = 𝑫𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Morgana doesn’t want to settle down, but she does want to take you with her, wherever she goes. She wants to be with you for the rest of her life, but knows that she has a destiny - to change the world. She wants you to change it with her.
As far as cleaning and cooking goes - she isn’t very good at it. All her life she’s had maids and servants to come and pick up after her, and chefs to cook for her. So on that front, I’m afraid she is quite terrible.
𝑬 = 𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 (When something is bothering them, how do they act around you?)
When something is bothering Morgana, she will tell you immediately. She’s comfortable and healthy enough in the relationship so much so, that she can come to you directly. Even if it is something that you’ve inadvertently done to upset her.
𝑭 = 𝑭𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒆 (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
She would marry you as soon as possible. Morgana knows that you’re her life partner. There’s no way she’s going to be with anyone else. She’d be happy with a wedding that’s just the two of you, with Morgause officiating.
𝑮 = 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆 (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Morgana is very gentle when it comes to you. She’s never been too rough with you, or hurt you physically ... ever. That’s one of the things that’s perplexed you. You’ve thought about it often - people make mistakes all the time, some are very clumsy and can’t help it. But Morgana has never been that way around you. So, one day you asked her and she said:
“Because I’m always aware of how close you are to me. And how close others are to us.”
𝑯 = 𝑯𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 (Do they tell you about their childhood? Their trauma? The sides of themself that they keep hidden from the world.)
Morgana tried to keep some parts of her trauma hidden. Especially the fact that she has magic. That’s a secret she tried her best not to tell you. Not because she didn’t trust you, but because she was afraid that somehow it would come out and you would be in danger because you knew.
But her childhood trauma - she’s honest with it. She let you know that although she’s royalty, she too has gone through tough times.
Morgana also only lets you see how much she hates Uther. In front of anyone else, she’s perfectly happy with her king.
𝑰 = 𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Morgana...said it pretty fast. At first she said it because she loved you platonically. She loved your friendship - and thought you were such a brilliant person, that she said it one afternoon while you were strolling through the thick bushes.
𝑱 = 𝑱𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒚 (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Morgana is extremely jealous, to the point of possessiveness. Sometimes you have to remind her to calm down and that no one could come between the two of you.
Whenever she’s jealous, the sorceress will mess with that person. E.g., make their pants fall down or spread rumours about them. Yeah, she can be quite nasty sometimes.
But you tell her off for it. Even though Morgana is a fierce and fiery woman, so are you.
𝑲 = 𝑲𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Morgana’s kisses are passionate. They’re hot and wanting - all-consuming. Her favourite place to kiss you is on the lips and neck. Morgana is quite a sensual person and likes to be kissed on the most sensitive parts of her body.
𝑳 = 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 (How are they around children?)
Morgana is actually really great around children. Even when the toughest and sternest of people are around children, something in them changes. In those moments, they become softer and kinder.
Morgana fears that the children will sense some kind of darkness within her. But they only sense passion. It’s her smile that enchants them. Morgana will happily take a seat on the floor and play with the babies at court, something that Uther isn’t too happy about
“Morgana, no one of royal blood should sit on the floor! You are lowering yourself in front of the people, and you need to retain a strong front.”
Sometimes, when mothers are at their wit’s end, Morgana will volunteer to look after the baby for the day. And she’s absolutely brilliant at it. At first Arthur teased that she would be terrible. But Morgana proved that she’s capable of keeping a little human alive, fed and (mostly) clean for a whole 10 hours.
𝑴 = 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 (How are mornings spent with them?)
She wants to snuggle close to you, and spend all day in bed. So, it’s a bit of an effort trying to separate yourself from Morgana. She’ll whine and huff, then comply.
“Really don’t know why we can’t just ignore all our responsibilities and do exactly as we wish...”
𝑵 = 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 (How are nights spent with them?)
Spent late, trying to help her get to sleep. Whenever you’re there it’s easy. She feels safe, and content.
There’s always a bath made up for you (she knows how much you adore baths), and candles lit and flickering away. Nights with Morgana are quite romantic actually.
It’s just those nightmares that keep toying with her sleep.
𝑶 = 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏 (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Morgana held her mask of charm, enchantment and grace for a while. But when you left friendship territory and sailed into love, she dropped her mask and you saw all of her. You learned about her passion, her dreams and her nightmares. It isn’t as if she stopped being charming and graceful, but you saw the bits she hides from everyone else.
It wasn’t until she told you about her magic that she opened up truly. After that, she had no problem telling you things about herself. But it was the trauma that was difficult to speak of.
𝑷 = 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 (How easily angered are they?)
If it’s little snarky remarks by people at court, Morgana is pretty cool-headed...well...she’s actually cold. She’ll whip out a snarling remark and that person will never speak ill of her again.
But her real anger resides in those who want to hurt the things she loves and cares about. And those things are her ideas, her morals and you. Anyone who tries to hurt you...she explodes. And anyone who is small-minded/traditional - she becomes very agitated and that can slide easily into anger.
𝑸 = 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒛𝒛𝒆𝒔 (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing or do they kind of forget everything?)
Morgana doesn’t remember everything about you. Only the most important bits. She mostly remembers feelings; how events, people and moments made you feel - that’s how she remembers things. Was it a good experience? Or was it a mean person etc.
𝑹 = 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?)
Morgana’s treasured memory in the relationship was the first time she told you about her magic. You weren’t in a relationship, but had a few secret kisses here and there.
She felt like she could come to you, but felt so anxious doing so. What if you told someone else, what if you told Uther?
There were a lot of dangers in telling you. But she wanted you to see all of her. And yet, when she told you, there was no judgement, no fear or despise. There was nothing but love.
“Thank you for telling me. I know it’s scary.”
And then she was flooded with relief. Telling you was the right thing to do. The memory always makes her warm inside. Whenever you have your arguments, she thinks back to that day and how much confidence you gave her without even knowing. She could never repay you for your kindness, for your love.
𝑺 = 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖:
Morgana casts protective enchantments around you, while also enchanting your gifts so that they hold protective power and properties. Also in public, if you’re ever bullied or singled out, she is the first one to stand up for you and tell the other person to bugger off.
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅:
Morgana likes to be emotionally protected. She has guards, and she can also protect herself. But she most wants you to make her heart, and her feelings feel safe.
𝑻 = 𝑻𝒓𝒚 (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
So much effort! Truly - Morgana plans things very carefully and everything has meaning. Anniversaries are always spectacular, either with gifts or thought out adventures.
Morgana specialises in dates. She absolutely loves thinking up things to do together. They’re usually outside dates, where you can both be in nature. It’s where you both feel the most grounded.
𝑼 = 𝑼𝒈𝒍𝒚 (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Morgana can be quite judgemental at times. You have to tell her that everyone is different, and that being open-minded means not judging others for their decisions.
𝑽 = 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Morgana is very concerned with her looks. She knows they hold power, not only over men but women as well. She can be intimidating, stunning, angelic, demonic. Just by what she wears, how she does her make-up and hair.
𝑾 = 𝑾𝒉𝒚 (Reasons why they love each other)
She loves you because you make her feel whole and seen. Without you, she feels very lonely and can get caught up in her head. So you’re a bit of solace.
You make her feel like there’s a place for her in this world.
𝑿 = 𝑿𝒚𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆 (What’s their song)
・Devil’s Resting Place by Laura Marling.
・Underground by Cody Fry.
Two very different songs, both capture different sides of Morgana and how her innermost self is conflicted.
𝒀 = 𝒀𝒖𝒄𝒌 (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
・When someone tries to get close to you. She hates when another man or woman is too friendly. Morgana can become jealous very easily.
・When people underestimate or overlook her, or other women.
・Having to wake up early. She doesn’t always get the best sleep, so when she has to wake up early, it’s quite difficult.
・She wouldn’t be able to handle someone who is close-minded. If her partner was ever like that, she’d drop them immediately.
𝒁 = 𝒁𝒛𝒛 (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
Everything has to be pitch black for Morgana to be able to sleep.
I have so many, but I think my favourite is that she stayed with the druids she met in The Nightmare Begins (s2e3) and became a renowned healer.
she was taught how to use her dreams so that eventually it was her and her dreams that helped bring about the Albion that Arthur was meant to create
arthur consulted morgana and her dreams for guidance the way one would scry, do a tarot spread, ask the old gods. her insight and foresight would be a revered gift, she'd be worshipped for it, and people would travel across the lands for the chance of an audience with her, to hear her predictions of their future - I think she would have learned how to consciously enter dream-like states to bring about her visions on command.
