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.

Star crossed lovers
They say we're not meant to be
'Cause the stars in the sky, and the fashion that they are aligned.
I say if the futures been drawn out there's no point in living.
I wont give up my love so that fate can have its way.

This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies

Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die

By my side,
you’ll never be.

'Cause I’m fake at the seams,
I’m lost in my dreams, and
And I want you to know,
that I can’t let you go.

Still the same, pursuing pain
Is it worth all that I've gained?
We both know how it will end,
But I'd do it again
And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under
And without You
The fight inside is breaking me again

Picture you're the queen of everything

Taking the dreams that made me up
And tearing them away
But the same love will take this heart that's barely beating
And fill it with hope beyond the stars
Only love

You, you were always gonna be my king
(I was always gonna be your king)
I was always gonna be your queen
You know that we can always be anything

Whatever may come, whenever you're lost
Remember there'll always be a place for us
Castles we build, they crumble to dust
Don't worry, there'll always be a place for us

Give me something to return to
In your heart
I fear nothing but to leave here
Without you for life
We were left in this world for each other
But I can`t run from the fate
I`ve been fighting for so long

O T H E RQ 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 ended, 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 shadows 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 delicious 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 breathh "We can't stay children forever" he tried to keep his voice light.
"I wish we could".
"I don't" the lightness 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, suddenly 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. Suddenly 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 wasn't' Arthur, I wasn't 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."
[Arthur (about Morgana), CAMELOT THE TRUE STORY]

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]

I have added the new members I saw. If you wanted or want to be added and I didn't please let me know.

Also if anybody has any fic or vid recommendations that would be great. That way I can add the links.

I still need to update the reasons. Hopefully I can do it tonight before I go to sleep.

314nokkio · 11-30-2009, 02:59 AM

Yay! congratulations on a new thread!) And the title is so great!)) For me it is ArMor and Bradlie/Katie meanings at the same time)))

As for new recs, is self-proclamations a shame? If not, then I would like my fic be added to the list: Epilogue, if it is okay)

electricpeppers · 11-30-2009, 05:38 AM

Yay for a new thread. Looking over the OP makes me sad, this show is so frustrating -- they've really ruined a good thing. Well not ruined so much as plain ignored. They should just embrace the subtext and give Morgana/Arthur some scenes. I was skimming the last thread and I agree the last episodes Gwen/Arthur scenes were meh. Very forced. The bitter part of me is glad they have really un-hot closed mouth kisses.

On a happy note, at least we know Morgana will be there in the end for Arthur. Whatever feelings she has for him will override everything when he's dying and when she takes him to Avalon. In a weird sort of way they kind of end up together.

Lolipopo · 11-30-2009, 07:42 AM

Yay for the new threaaaad !

Honest, to see we reached this amount of threads while we didn't get anything at all this season (Meaning : Even when they were actually together, they could barely be in the same frame or in a short distance shot ** I will always remember this shot of them on the same hose...LOOONG distance shot XD Pathetic, fail more, writers !**) is really awesome !

But that's normal cause yeah, they have the legend on their side and in the end, when the poor guy will be betrayed on every side, when he'll be left totally alone and mortally wounded (it's really sane to ship the greatest King with a girl who will be half of the reason of his death. Ship the girl with one she loves, damn ! (well I mean in the legend. In th'e show it's not Gwen anymore, it's Gwenvewhore.), it's Morgana who will be there for him.
It's Morgana who will take him to her island to heal him.
It's thanks to Morgana he is the once and FUTURE King
It's Morgana who will stay eternally at his side, taking care of him, on Avalon.
It's with Morgana, he will be in love (though in some version it's totally one sided. Ahhh Poor Arthur. That's what you'll get for having been kidnapped between season 1 and 2)

Gwenvewhore and Morgawsome. Yeah for Bo, who created suck wonderful nicknames XDDD

On a side note I have a pathetic game in mind.
The "One word" game.
You have to give one word to define this couple and explain why this one.

And that will be for the couple both in the legend and in this serie soo...

Wanna play ?

Or something like that :

Morgawsome (...Okay I cheated)
O
R
G
A
N
A

A
N
D

A
R
T
H
U
R

And we might fulfill the thing just for the fun. (I mean each one his thing. Mine is just not fulfilled cause I don't have much time in front of me)

Let's keep this thread alive anyway ! So yay for each games ? :3

Lolipopo · 11-30-2009, 07:52 AM

On a side note, I'd love to make some pics for the Op. And we should maybe add the ArMor part of the script from Excalibur ? With the love confession ?
This + Bradley's interview where he spoke about the sudden change of Arthur's Li and stuff like that.
And his love for the word incest :'DDD

BTw self promo is more than fine :')

And I found this awesomness...

YouTube - ..::ArthurღMorgana::.. Everything changes (if I could turn back the years)

Since it was inspired by those threads it should get a place in the OP. This + many of her others vids wich are just awesome :'DDD

Swamy · 11-30-2009, 10:24 AM

Oh, yes! We totally need to add the confession

(by the way thanks for the new thread isabella

)

Neda16 · 11-30-2009, 10:58 AM

That was a beautiful video

It should totally be added. And I also wanted to comment that on the last episode when Merlin was complaining about Arthur falling in love with Vivian to Gaius, Gaius' first response was something like "but how could it have happened so quickly?" I wanted to be like lolWHAT? As if Arthur/Gwen was so slow?

That line was just a joke

Heh. This show utterly asinine sometimes.

Neda16 · 11-30-2009, 12:27 PM

Yeah, the show has definitely had a lot of asinine moments this season

So to keep our thread moving I will play the game, just no one make fun of my lame unoriginality haha. Instead of defining just the couple some of the words define a single character

Mordred's mother
Other-wordly
Regal
Gorgeous
A Queen (I cheated...I'm not very creative haha)
Notorious
Alone

Always beautiful
Never out-shined
Destined for heartbreak

Artful
Royal (prat)
Tender
Humble (occasionally haha)
Unruly
Rough and tough

isabella36 · 11-30-2009, 12:42 PM

Self-promotion is where it's at.

I'll be sure to add your story.
We have to be proud of our work.

I was going trough the video links that are on the OP. I noticed they're all from the same playlist on youtube. Does anybody know who that playlist belongs to? Should I just add the other videos even if they're not on the playlist?

New images would be fantastic. Let me know how you guys want to format the script from Excalibur.

Game

We really need to do something to liven up this thread.
If you have any suggestions that would be great.

.:DoDs:. · 11-30-2009, 01:43 PM

God I miss them

314nokkio · 11-30-2009, 02:33 PM

It shames me that I proclaim myself twice a day, but I've drawn the picture of Arthur and Morgana. There's almost kiss for what I slightly proud of))

link to the post in my LJ

And the game is fun) It just takes me long to remember the exactly words for each letter, but as soon I manage it, I'll post the result)))

Swamy · 11-30-2009, 02:51 PM

nokkio your art is beautiful

you should make more *_*

isabella I suspect the playlist is mine...

I didn't do it on purpose, and of course we can add whatever video we want
