Summary:

And Celegorm? Well, Celegorm simply wants a fight, wants revenge, wants to see his debts repaid. He wants to tear that godforsaken forest apart piece by piece, one step further on the inescapable road to their inevitable end. He knows of monsters, after all. Knows how to speak their tongue, how to coax them along. His brothers, by then, are hardly any different. Celegorm wants it all to end. He cares little, now, for how they will achieve such a thing. — The Fëanorians, the Second Kinslaying, and how they all reached that point—an attempt to trace their fall from grace, from Valinor to Doriath.

emm <3 I want to pleaseee hear more about no upside down sex tape au 👀

monaaaa yes ofc!!

this is an idea i had a while ago now and never really got anywhere far with it but i still love it: the title sort of says it all. it's an AU world where there was no upside down. steve and eddie were FWBs for around a year, then eddie & Corroded Coffin makes it big and he moves out of hawkins. flash forward to like the mid 90s or early 2000s, and a sex tape that steve and eddie made back in '88 is leaked and they're brought back together to deal with the aftermath. shenanigans will ensue and they will be very normal about each other i'm SURE!!!!!!!!!!

“I’m not going to let you go again,” Merlin vows, his voice fierce. “No matter how much of a prat you’re going to be, you’re stuck with me now for as long as you’ll have me.”

Arthur laughs, his fingers trembling where he grips Merlin’s tunic. “There is nothing you can do that would stop me from wanting you beside me, Merlin. Surely, you must know that by now.”

“Good,” Merlin murmurs, leaning his forehead against Arthur’s. “You do know that the same is true the other way around, right?”

Arthur wishes he had something profound to say to that, but he can only press his open mouth to Merlin’s, pulling him closer. Can only think that it’s a miracle that they are here now, against all odds; despite, despite, despite.

Requiem of a Forgotten Prince

words by @queerofthedagger​ and art by @kairennart​    Summary: 'You will forget all that you hold dear,' the sorcerer had vowed before he attacked Arthur, leaving his patrol dead and Arthur achingly thankful that for once, Merlin hadn’t been with him. Well, and he is quite certain that he hasn’t forgotten anything. As it turns out, everyone else has; specifically about him, and that Camelot is supposed to have a crown prince. When Merlin stumbles across him by chance, Arthur should be relieved. And he would be, really—if he hadn’t just been stabbed, and found out that Merlin has magic while he was at it. That Merlin does not remember who he is, either. It all gets a lot more complicated from there on out as Arthur tries to keep his own secrets, deal with the revelations about Merlin, and find a way not only to restore Camelot's memories, but protect it against the threats gathering on the horizon, too. When it rains, it pours; sometimes, the aftermath might just be worth it. Click HERE for the story and art!
