Couples - Arthur ♥ Morgana #5: Because they so clearly belong to each other that even TPTB got scared

Arthur & Morgana
A P P R E C I A T I O N T H R E A D

● ● ●

"My Lady."

"My Champion."

I've reinstated 'My lady. My champion' because I love
the way that's starting. It gives you a moment at the
head of the red carpet where the thought behind it is
absolutely "God, I love you..."
[clip: behind the magic]

God, have mercy...
He's talking and casually he turns a little because the other knights are staring at something and his eye caught a glimpse of something beautiful and he stares and sees her. Really sees her. All white, creamy skin and ruby lips, moving like she has no weight at all. Like she's the air. The air he breaths and all he can think about when the sight of her crushes his heart is God, Have mercy.. but it's too late. He's already breathing her in.

Tell me. Do you think her... beautiful?
She's Morgana. Morgana that [says she] beat him when they where little. Morgana that is his father ward. Morgana that makes him go crazy telling him to stand up for what he believes is right. And Morgana is not allowed to be like this. Making him feel like his heart is about to break his chest. Morgana is not allowed to be - he has to surrender to the only word that can barely suit her because he's a warrior and words can't affect him - beautiful.

Then do it for me.
At the end of the day, after the banter and denial, she's his friend, she's his family, she's more than that. And what moves him it's not what is right, not yet. She comes to him before his own moral. He can't go against his father, and his King and he won't but then she says those words and he can't stop himself, because it's her. Only because it's her.

I don't want you to fight tomorrow. Please, I'm begging you.
Morgana, the proud Morgana, begs. She knows he can't do it this time, because it's his duty and he can't turn his back on his honor, but she needs him to know that she cares, that she's worried. And he's surprised because it's the first rule of their relationship - deny you care - and so it sounds like a bad joke because he does care, but he can't believe it's just the same for her, because it's too much, because if he has to die tomorrow then to hear this is a torture, because if he dies tomorrow she'll be someone else's Lady.

My Lady. My Champion.
Their My sounds like a condemn, like the turning point of a whole life. Sounds like forever. He offered his arm and she accepted, and now they could never go back. Ever.

O T H E R Q U O T E S

... Arthur - my brother, my lover, king who was and king who shall be.
[morgana, THE MISTS OF AVALON (page 1)]

... But I want to say this to you. You were the very first. No matter how many women I may have, for all my life I will always remember you and love you and bless you. I promise you that.
[arthur, THE MISTS OF AVALON]

... When you left Camelot, Arthur missed you so. l have often thought my greatest sin was coming between the love that you and Arthur have for each other.
[guinevere (to morgana), THE MISTS OF AVALON (movie)]

... It's all so new and strange. So many things have happened to me since- since-" His voice faltered. "I think of you all the time. I cannot help myself. It was true what I said, Morgaine- that all my life I shall remember you because you were the first, and I shall always think of you and love you-"
[arthur, THE MISTS OF AVALON]

[i]... He bowed to Igraine, more formally to Morgause, but as he approached Morgaine he leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. She stiffened. Mother, Goddess, what a tangle we have made. He says he will always love me and long for me...
[morgana (hearing arthur's thoughts), THE MISTS OF AVALON]

"...and I love you Morgana, with a love that is stronger than death. If sin is the price of binding us together, life after life across the ages, then I will sin joyfully and without regret so that it brings me back to you, my beloved!"
[arthur, THE MISTS OF AVALON]

we were not gentle. We came together like lance against shield, battered and ground against each other. Possessed, we tore from each other the elemental thing we fed on, and when the combat eneded, she cried like a she-wolf about the edges of my soul for what I took away. No right or wrong or justice, only need answered or left begging.
[Arthur (about his relationship with Morgana), FIRELORD]

...and I knew her from the last moments of dreams before waking, from the shadowns beyond Cilurnum's watchfire, glimpsed as she slid around the corner of imagination, over the shoulders of other women whose faces were not half so well remembered even in my arms. A strong face who knew sorrow, joy and rage. But not beautiful.
"Very beautiful" Merlin answered the though "when you have eyes to see"
[Arthur (about Morgana), FIRELORD]

"Do love you, Morgana"
It is painful and delicius between us, a starved need beyond hunger, and somewhere in it is the thought: I have never said love before. And though there's a memory of beds and faces gone or yet to come, the echo of the same words deeply meant and even better understood, this first time a piece of self arcs out like a fierce comet, burning with a never-again brightness and falling, always remembered, down the lonely space of life.
[Arthur (to Morgana), FIRELORD]

He let out his breath "We can't stay children forever" he tried to keep his voice light.
"I wish we could".
"I don't" the lighness was gone. His voice was intense, almost fierce "Don't you understand?" he said "Don't you feel how hard it is to be young?" his hand on her wrist tightened "There's everything I want, everything I'm ready for, and I'm too young"
[Arthur and Morgana, THE ROAD TO AVALON]

"You don't understand..." Arthur replied, his face was stark "Without Morgana... I cannot live without Morgana."
[Arthur (after Merlin's refusal to let him marry Morgana), THE ROAD TO AVALON]

"...Arthur has been attached to Morgan ever since he first came to Avalon. They have been inseparable since childhood. I would say that Arthur loves Morgan more than anything else in the world"
[Merlin (about Arthur's love for Morgana), THE ROAD TO AVALON]

"I saw Athur's face last night. He will toss everything aside if he must - Uther, the high kingship, Britain - before he will give up Morgana"
[Merlin (about Arthur), THE ROAD TO AVALON]

"Do you think Arthur would stand for that? You don't know him very well, Igreine, if you think he would. He would tear apart the country looking for her. The only way you could stop him would be to chain him up"
[Merlin (answering Igrain's suggestion to send Morgana away), THE ROAD TO AVALON]

"It is forever, this goodbye of ours"
"Do you think I don't know that?" she demanded, suddendly fierce "I'll be born knowing it! I'll never forget it, not when I'm fifteen, not when I'm a hundred and fifteen! Look at me Arddu. Do you really think I want to do this?"
She was weeping. He put his arms around her. For a time they were silent.
[Arddu/Arthur and Morgana (saying goodbye), THE THIRD MAGIC]

He, too, was trying. Suddendly he hugged her, then brushed her eyes with his lips.
[Arddu/Arthur and Morgana (saying goodbye), THE THIRD MAGIC]

"I'm not the Table. I'm not an idea. I am at the most its bad servant, but before all I am a flash that loves another flesh: Morgana"
[Arthur (about Morgana), ARTHUR]

"Where? (Laughs) In my heart."
[Arthur (when asked where Morgana lived), CAMELOT THE TRUE STORY]

"I can't marry her. The thing that sticks out in my mind the most about Morgana is our absolute oneness. I can be myself. She was me, I was her. When we ere together, there was no... airs. I wasnt' Arthur, I wasnt anybody. I was just me.
When we made love, we were animals. Pure animals. Pure nature. If I have to choose between the two things that mean the most to me, between "nature" and all the "power"... (Laughs). Give me the "nature"."
[Arthur (when asked when he and Morgana became lovers), CAMELOT THE TRUE STORY]

"SHE is my true love."
[Arthur (about Morgana), CAMELOT THE TRUE STORY]

"She was everything to me."

Your Mouth Is Lovely (Not That I'm Watching)

This love
So violent
So fragile
So tender
So hopeless
This love
As beautiful as the day
And as wretched as the weather
When the weather is wretched

This love
So real
This love
So beautiful
So happy
So joyous
And so ridiculous
Trembling with fear
Like a child in the dark
And so sure of itself
Like a tranquil man in the quiet of the night
This love
Which made others afraid
Which made them gossip
Which drained the colour from their cheeks
This love
Watched for
Because we watched for them
Snared, wounded, trampled, finished, denied, forgotten
Because we snared, wounded, trampled, finished, denied, forgot it

This love
Entire
Still so alive
Shining
This is yours
This is mine
This love
Which is always new
And which never changes
Real like a plant
Quivering like a bird
Warm and as alive as the summer
We can both
Go and come back
We can forget
And fall asleep
And wake up
To suffer old age
Fall asleep again
To dream to death
Awake
To smile and laugh
Young again
Our love endures
Obstinate as a mule
As alive as the desire
As cruel as the memory
As stupid as the regret
As tender as the memory
As cold as marble
As beautiful as the day
As delicate as an infant
It watches us
Smiling
And speaks to us
Without saying a word
And I
I listen to it
Trembling
And I cry
I cry for you
I cry for myself
And I beg you
For yourself
For me
And for all those who love
And who are loved
Yes
I cry to it
For you
For me
And for all the others
I do not know
Stay there
There where you are
There where you were before
Stay there
Don't move
Don't go away
We who are loved
We have forgotten you
Do not forget us
We had only you on this earth
Do not let us grow cold
Further and further away every day
It doesn't matter where
Give us a sign of life
In a nook in the woods
In the forest of memory
Suddenly arise
Take us by the hand
And save us.
[Prevert]

You are my freedom and my slavery.
You are my flesh burning as a naked summer night.
You are my country.
You, with green reflections in your hazel eyes,
You, grand, beautiful and victorious.
You are my longing, unreachable as I reach.
[Hikmet]

...But you are the queen.

When you go through the streets
no one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
at the carpet of red gold
that you tread as you pass,
the nonexistent carpet

And when you appear
All the rivers
Of my body ripple, bells
Make the skies tremble
And a song of praise fills the world.

Only you and I,
Only you and I, my love,
Can hear it.
[Neruda]

But do thy worst to steal thyself away,
For term of life thou art assured mine,
And life no longer than thy love will stay,
For it depends upon that love of thine.
[Shakespeare]

AHAHAHAHA LMAO SERIOUSLY awesome correlation Swamy XD

I saw this clip a few times ago and I was loling at Arthur's face (maybe we might enjoy this episode, if Arthur doesn't start dreaming about his own wedding with Gwen XD) but I didn't think of that while it's so true; This WTF face is totally ours XD
I can already imagine icons coming from that "How The **** Am I in love with Gwen ?"

...Someone need to do that <_<

On a side note, did you notice how gorgeous Morgana is ? Ahhh Uther, save your son, marry him with her :3

And because this new thread deserves awesomness there is this beautiful gif made by the awesome Luststories from LJ, which ...well it's just awesome :3

Swamy · 10-16-2009, 05:17 AM

LOL what a splendid idea

someone needs to do thos icons.

About the animation, I saw that one yesterday and I started thinking of Arthur teaching her to swordfight

since she TOTALLY has Arthur's style

LOL I read something like that last week as well, but a smart person added that it would be even better, had Morgana been the one teaching Arthur, and not the other way around XD

After all, before spending her time brushing her hair, she used to beat him at sword fight XD We really need a sort of flashback of their childhood, I heard Arthur is going to see Ygerne in this serie (I don't know how) and since I have this feeling in the end, they'll find a way to pull out a "Luke I'm your sister !" I'd love to have a flashback dedicated to their childhood.

Something like Merlin returns to the past, or something like that

I guess that's why I love this vid "Oh My, My,My" since the childhood is such an important thing there XD She did an amazing job, and the best part is while all of those child are beautiuful and perfect for the role, she even managed to include Arthur and Morgana from the mini series, the Mist of Avalon XD

For those who didn't see it...enjoy the alovelyness and the perfection of the life they deserved together <3

You can download the interview about A/Mo here :

Now i'm like others. I wish Bradley was the writer, that would spare us a lot of crap :'P
Cause damn, even he is talking about a sudden change of LI. That's crazy.

Swamy · 10-16-2009, 10:19 AM

Bradley talking so freely of the sudden (bad) changes won't make TPTB happy since will only show that fans are not the only people that are not liking s2 (it's too easy to say fans are never happy with what they get), I think they instructed Katie on what to say about the Arwen/ArMor arc. and I've read (don't remember when/where) an interview to Bradley that said the same thing about ArMor having a clealrly sibling relationship... but I guess he got tired ot that crap*y lie because he stopped and told the truth.. it's not like they can get rid of Arthur if he doesndo what they say LOL

Iris · 10-16-2009, 10:34 AM

You see I wouldn't hate this season so much if it was only because of my ship not being explored anymore. But now the whole characterization, almost everything (Gaius is still a ******) they built in season 1 had to change to fit Arthur/Gwen (please don't call them Arwen because they remind me of Arwen from LOTR and I love her lol). And IMO when you have to change so many aspects of your show (the Arthur/Merlin friendship, giving Morgana's role to Gwen etc) you are not doing something right. I knew A/G would come one day, but I was hoping for organic build up that wouldn't require kind of stealing Morgana's role and airtime and making me wish for Mordred to kick Arthur's ass. Having a failed ship I could handle (it's not like it would be the first time) but reducing my favorite character, who also happens to be one of the most interesting on the show, is what pisses me off the most. Which is why I'm not watching unless it's a Morgana centric episode.

Swamy · 10-16-2009, 10:48 AM

I totally see your point, and many fans (those that don't fake bliindness to convince people that is only natural Arthur fell for a certain plain character in the space of 2 episodes...) see it too, but TPTB atr trying to stick with their decision hoping fans will be convinced with time. I hope they wil fail and this show will be back to what it was or at least will be cancelled, because this is an insult to Arthur's legend. In that case I will only be sorry for the actors, but I'll follow whatever work Bradley and Katie will do in the future.

I have a new reason: Because even Bradley admitted the sudden change of Arthur's love interest was because ArMor would hae left Gwen to arrange flowers for the rest of her (miserable) life

Lolipopo · 10-16-2009, 10:55 AM

I'm going to watch it for the boys. Well I mean just cause I love Bradley (don't care 'bout Arthur, just that fanservice is good :'P)
Well and for Morgana's plot. Since Lancelot will not come back (this season at least) guess I'll appreciate Angel's cuteness (cause she was so cute with Lancelot <333) and that's it.

It's a bit sad when we know we used to enjoy this much this serie; But well they used some of the worse excuse ever to turn it into a crap. Giving to Gwen the love interest's role cause she doesn't have anything to do...yeah hurray for sexism !

At least Bradley was honest about that and I'm grateful. Now I just hope those awesome actors have plans for the after Merlin cause with the number of people who stopped watching, I fear they might not go past season 3.

Ah well, make the real season 2, Capps, and we will be back :'P
(Oh and awesome now. If someone dare speak about how natural Gwen/Arthur was, we do have this awesome interview where Bradley basically say that they changed Arthu's LI. Ahahahahah fuel for shipping waaars :'D)

*wants blood XD*

@Swamy : More like "Because even Bradley admitted they had to exchange Morgana and Gwen's place to give the latter a role ? :'P
I think we might let the "miserable" out there...cause it disserves us to look like simple bashers. It's not because we dislike Gwen we don't like the change, it's because we dislike crappy writings that (some of us...okay everyone but me XD) dislike Gwen :'P

Iris · 10-16-2009, 10:55 AM

Well as far as I know they have managed to also mess up Arthur/Merlin's friendship by regressing to the point they were in the beginning of season 1, which is the show's biggest fanbase. Instead of writing them well they have Arthur be a jerk to Merlin and they think that they can make it up to the audience by giving them obviouslt planned slashy hints. The fact that they weren't planned was what made them fun you doofuses.

So the writers have managed to piss off Arthur/Merlin fans, Arthur/Morgana fans and Merlin/Gwen fans. IDK why they thought this kind of writing was a good idea

ETA: I don't want shipping wars

I don't even hate Gwen. I hate what they did to the show to fit Arthur/Gwen. But since I'm no saint I will rejoice in the bad writing A/G is getting

Swamy · 10-16-2009, 11:47 AM

About people stopping watching... what was the audiene of the last episode?
