just a little thank you to @emrysdrgn for giving me writing inspiration when i REALLY needed it 💛💛

@emrysdrgn sure, i'm willing to try anything at this stage 💛

@pendragonally Ahhh I hate that for you 🥺 honestly what helps me sometimes is going on tumblr looking for prompts I have a few saved if you want I can’t you a few? It’s literally only one sentence most times but maybe it sparks something?🤎

Working on a fic for merthur glompfest. and also just signed up for merlin olympics and merlin after camlann big ban fest… guess it’s my year of writing HAHA not like I already have fics to finish or anything 💀

@emrysdrgn i'm glad to see you writing merthur again! 💛 i don't really write these days, i want to but no inspiration/plot bunnies ❤️‍🩹

@pendragonally Thank youuu!!✨ Yeahh I need to busy myself… so I took up on writing much much more and it really helps 🤎

@emrysdrgn you know where i am if you need me ❤️

I DESPERATELY NEED A BETA READER FOR MY MERTHUR ONE SHOT 😭 thank you hahahah

AO3 is not social media, it's a library. Fanfic is not content, it's a hobby. Fic writers are not published authors who should stay out of fan spaces. They ARE fans. Fic readers are not clients or customers, they're fellow fans. The sooner people realise all that, the better.

@romaasvt13 i don't know who is actually the older one, but for me it has always been morgana 🙂

I want to ask a question… Who’s older --- Morgana or Arthur? Because I’ve always seen Morgana as the older one, not the other way around.

still not working for me 💔

authors write for free on ao3. they invest their time, creativity, and ideas into creating something for people and for themselves. once again, it takes nothing to be kind and respectful toward their writing/works. there’s no need to be rude. if u don’t like a fic, close the tab

@fienchen_b have an amazing time! 💚

Preparing for the king's arrival #Colinchella2026

as a writer, seeing all this discourse surrounding fics lately makes me both sad and angry. it never seems to end and i'm honestly tired of it ❤️‍🩹 love your writers. without us, your favourite fics don't exist.

@emrysdrgn did you write this?

okay byee

— life is more than a masquerade (such a beautiful mess we made) Multi-chapter Rated E After Camlann. Magic, love, and sacrifice collide as Arthur and Merlin discover that some things, once given, can never be taken back. 🔗: #workskin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">archiveofourown.org/works/78657906…

— to break a curse (and a heart) merthur rated E canon-era, pining merlin, cursed arthur +7k words Arthur gets zapped by some magical flower pollen. It’s 95% explicit, messy, magical smut and 5% Merlin having a minor emotional crisis. 🔗: archiveofourown.org/works/78527241

friendly reminder fanfic writers DO THIS FOR FREE. we do this for you guys so you have stuff to read. please BE KIND to fanfic writers. if you don’t like something you do not need to blast it online where the author can see it. click out and don’t read it.

@emrysdrgn i do it too, really annoying lmao

not me re editing chapter one of the fic i am writing over and over again (it’s been three days) instead of writing a few chapters first and then get to the editing part? why am i like that

@death_nettle i'll give it a go and i'll try not to make it too 'shippy' 😳 can't promise merlin isn't quietly in love with arthur though because well... it's me 🫣🥲

@pendragonally Oh dude there are soooooo many people out here who would read fics that aren't partner central, fics like this are really interesting to read, considering povs we've probably never even thought of let alone read about! You should get on it ally 🫡

Reminder that Merlin stayed up all night, all night crying and not sleeping because he couldn't bear the thought of missing Arthur's last breath

@death_nettle every time i see this scene i want to write a fic about that whole night, what it was like for merlin etc, but didn't know if people would find it boring 🫣😳

Merlin was so, so devastated by Arthur's complete rebuttal of his magic. Even after that, the thought of Arthur dying and Merlin not being there, whether Arthur wanted him to be there or not, was unthinkable to Merlin
