Prompts:

Possible prompts (feel free to ignore or use as you like, I don't have my heart set on anything that specific):

For art/vids, I'd adore anything based on one of my fics. (OK, so I'm vain, sue me!) That said, feel absolutely 100% free & encouraged to make me anything based on my likes/dislikes & prompt ideas :D

Music Prompts:
New Divide by Linkin Park (sounds like a nice angsty fall out from a magical reveal)
Seven Devils by Florence + The Machine
Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri
Where I Stood by Missy Higgins

Actually, this could go on. For musical inspiration check out my Merthur playlist on You Tube. The list is in no particular order, it's just how I randomly added the songs. Note: the songs, not the videos are meant as inspiration.

Some Ideas:

-When Arthur learns of Merlin's magic, he also learns of Kilgharrah's early words to Merlin. They strike an adult Arthur in ways that the teenaged Merlin never comprehended. Merlin still hasn't really thought about what the dragon meant by them being two-halves of a whole, how they each need the other to be complete. Arthur can't stop thinking about it. Being a man of action though, he finally has enough of just thinking about it. (Would like Merlin to be much more skeptical than Arthur, possibly genuinely confused by and a bit resistant to Arthur's actions.)

-(Use any and all the eras you want for this.) Merlin remembers all his lifetimes and he remembers that in each one, Arthur only comes to him after his relationship with Gwen has crashed and burned. Merlin finally has enough of always being Arthur's consolation. He leaves before it can happen again. Arthur follows, leaving a bewildered Gwen behind. However, Merlin doesn't trust him and denies him. More than once. It’s not until this time period that he actually lets Arthur catch him.

-Merlin hadn't meant to hold onto his virginity for so long, he really hadn't. Back in Ealdor there hadn't been anyone who interested him enough to risk revealing his preference for men and once in Camelot, he'd just been too damn busy working for Gaius and the Prince and fulfilling his destiny of protecting Arthur. So, he'd waited. It wasn't that absurd for a sixteen year old to still be a virgin. However, by the time he was nineteen, it was getting somewhat pathetic. Then, enter Gwaine of the shiny hair, wandering hands and attraction to shagging in wildly inappropriate places. Places like the Prince's bedchamber. In a spectacular bit of ill-timing, Arthur returns to his room in time to witness both Merlin's first orgasm not produced by his own hand and the unexpectedly showy results. (You can go as humorous or serious as you like with this one. Would like to see A/M endgame.)

Squicks (Indicate here if you do not want spoilers for S5 in your gift.): Please let us know what you do not want in your gift.

Serious D/s, water sports/scat, pure fluff, unhappy endings, heavy Arwen (some angst over Gwen is fine but I really don't want Arthur all that torn over her), Saint!Gwen, stupid!Arthur or stupid!Merlin (oblivious or willfully blind are not the same!) Major Character Death

angst and destiny?
Sounds like it's going to be an awesome fic. =)

IKR? I love that combination! I just put this post up cuz I had too many prompts to fit into a single comment on [livejournal.com profile] merlin_holidays and it didn't occur to me to just split my comment until after I did this. My blond roots are showing! Other people just made two comments. I'm such a doof!

elaborate on your definition of "unhappy ending."

[identity profile] k-nightfox.livejournal.com 2012-10-16 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
One where the main characters are broken and miserable. :p~

Hey, just cuz I write em, doesn't mean I want to read em! Besides, this list was just aimed at this particular gift exchange. But seriously, I actually prefer stories to NOT end on a major downer.

That's not to say I can't enjoy something with a miserable ending. (Although, is "enjoy" really the word I want here?)

So I can't break Merlin? :(

[identity profile] k-nightfox.livejournal.com 2012-10-16 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
You are allowed to break Merlin whenever you like.

[identity profile] k-nightfox.livejournal.com 2012-10-16 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Play your cards right and I'll break Merlin for you this Solstice ;-)

...I have just realized how disturbing we both are.

I wonder what a random person would think if they came across our posts? haha.

[identity profile] k-nightfox.livejournal.com 2012-10-16 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably that we are a pair of sickos :D However, the only other person likely to look at this post is whoever got saddled with me for the Merlin Holidays exchange so...it won't be much of an audience...I hope.

Hey though, I did just run across a quiet fan of my dark side :D I commented on one of her fics and she wrote back how much she loved my dark stuff! So...we clearly aren't the only ones out there, we're just another minority is all.

her(let's face it, I'm the only guy in this fandom on LJ) story any good?

[identity profile] k-nightfox.livejournal.com 2012-10-17 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's a bit rough since the author isn't a native speaker of English but I really like the story. It's on ffnet (and I think there actually might be one or two other male Merlin authors there!) and it was recc'd on merlin_finders a few days ago. It's basically what would happen to Camelot if Merlin ever decided to leave :D

I've offered to beta it for her after I finish up Tam's story then your story. Which btw, I should be getting to soon. I just have to finish polishing up my mpreg fic tonight (it was due yesterday but I just got it back from beta). Tomorrow I am gonna do Tam's story since she's been waiting for quite a while, then I will do yours.
