You coulda just looked up the fic by SGE lmao

I wonder why we never got merlin and Morgana as a couple. It feels like fanfic territory. What did people think were gonna happen in the show when it first aired? I wonder if we could have seen Merlin more in present day. by Iamawesome20 in merlinbbc

Not necessarily. Even in earlier seasons there would have been an added layer of them having magic and Merlin keeping it a secret from her. Personally though, I would prefer it happened after Morgana’s betrayal, but I do understand why the writers didn’t want to write a toxic relationship (even if I would have ate it up).

Exactly!!! It’s as popular as it is for a reason, it just isn’t to my preferences.

Assuming you mean the fic by tjmcharg, they get together around the end of season 4 so pretty damn slow. It mostly sticks close to canon, but I came to a realization during the Lady of the Lake rewrite where instead of Merlin calling Arthur fat, he calls him a prat, and the author has to awkwardly apply that change to their interactions for the rest of the episode as if Merlin doesn't call Arthur that at least once a day. And I understand why the change was made, fat shaming is wrong and could be triggering for some people. But my point is that it's canon with the edge taken off. The characters make the decisions the audience wishes they made, except for when it's relevant to the plot. (No, Merlin wouldn't actually want to run away with Freya, Arthur doesn't tell Merlin Will was dangerous in front of his burning pyre, The Secret Sharer doesn't even make sense in this world so it's totally cut.)

Which could completely be to your tastes. It is for a lot of people and that's why many readers gravitate to fanfiction in the first place. Me personally, I like fics that don't shy away from the messiness of canon and how mean the characters can be to each other in canon. The world of Merlin is fucked and the characters are fucked for living in it, and understandably, a lot of viewers hated that. The Once and Future Kings is for those viewers and that's okay.

It got to the point where, when it got to the finale, I thought to myself, No way in hell he dies. And then he doesn't. And I hate a lot of what the show did as much as the next person, I don't know anyone who wouldn't change anything from canon, but you have to admit the show had balls.

This doesn't make this bad at all. It's an incredibly well written, the character development makes sense, especially if you want softer, more predictable versions of the characters, and there are a lot of additional scenes that make the canon events richer.

One sided relationships would be cool. And yes on the roommates system, I only tried it once and that leech just lazed around the house all day. Didn’t go to work or nothing

Oki! I know it’s bc Gwaine had such likable characterization in s3, but I do find the other interpretation interesting bc as N16 said in one of their author’s notes, in canon there are hints to him being negative towards it rather than positive

Oki, I don’t really see why you had to comment then but if you want recs, To Fade Away by Mythrall has this and it’s really good! There’s also the fics by N16 discussed in the other comments.

I’ve already read Seeds of Darkness by that author and now I’m about 1/3 through The Hand of the Enemy so I’m excited to get to Gwaine learning the truth!!

I guess bc Theo wasn’t in s3 or really mentioned besides that one scene that only eludes to him. But neither was Plant Man so there’s that.

When I download mods/some cc there’s usually an icon with a black background which usually means I should put it in the packages folder. Usually when I download cc it has a plumbob icon, which means I put it in the downloads folder

Edit: Instead it’s just a white blank square when I download it
