They have no platonic scenes only flirty.
She knows he's a better man.
I know my saviour's love is real. Your love is real.
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight. In the shadow of your heart.
I traveled half the world to say "I belong to you".
All is lost, hope remains. And this war's not over.
You were the sunshine, headed my front-line. I was alone. You were just around the corner from me.
It DOES matters to him what she thinks.
"Any girl in the fort, except perhaps Morgana, would come running at a click of his fingers." - SyFy

"Here is the secret nobody knows: I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart" - E.E. Cummings

The purest love will lead to the Greatest legend ever told between an enchantress and a warrior


"... 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 are one in a Million. Meant to Be.

"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]

Because some people are just born to be Queen. And the Future King acknowledges that.

"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 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, Igraine, 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]

Our story isn't a fairytale. But it's a Legend. And in the end, I'll come back to you.

"-Morgana told you I am your father, Mordred, asked finally Arthur.
-Yes Milord. She told me too that I can't say this in front of anyone, cause she and yourself are half sister and brother, sharing the same mother, and that I am the fruit of a crime in humans eyes.
-Yes. The fruit of my greatest crime, and of my greatest happiness too. My pleasure to be. My reason to be (My raison d'être). And my bitterness to be as well, because of her exile.
-I thought your reason to be (raison d'être) was the Round table.
-No. It's Morgana.
-I don't understand. My mother raised me in the single anxiety of the Table of Camelot which was her enemy. And you, who are the table, You prefer to it, its enemy, which mean yours ?
-I am not the Table Mordred. I am not an idea. At most it's bad servant, but before anything else, a flesh loving another flesh, which is Morgana.
We are lovers and foe, and more lovers than foe, even if, eventually, enmity is ruling and keeping apart our destinies."
[Arthur, talking with Mordred after Morgana's exile, ARTHUR]

"Do you want to make of Guinevere the balm of a love wound caused by Morgana ?" ARTHUR

" I have made a promise to your father, Leodegrance, dying in Badon hills, the promesse I will take care of you, and this promise is an holy one for me. In addition, despite whatever you may think, I like you, enough for not lying to you, and our embrace would be for me only a desire and a pleasure fugacious, because I am full of another women."
[Arthur and Guinevere, after he refused her, still drown in the sorrow of Morgana's exile, ARTHUR]

"Arthur's pleasure ravaged him, sending him soon at the bitterness and at the cruelty of the reality. He encircled the women of his arms with gentleness and hugged her. And he cried, like he cried when he had see Morgana at the return of her first exile, after thirteen years of an absence he had felt the weight at each moment since"
[Arthur, after sleeping with a prostitute reminding him of Morgana, ARTHUR]

"They are in Morgana's chambers"

"If he dares touch a hair on Queen Morgana's head, I'll lead against him a war to the knife. Which means that of him, his soldiers, his allies, and his servants, I will not let even one survivor."
[Arthur, threatening Claudas's action against Avalon and its Queen, ARTHUR]

"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]

The Girl saves her prince, twice. And she will save him again, because she is his protector, his fairy, his Queen of Avalon

"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]

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.
. Star Crossed . Scary Kids Scaring Kids .

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
Hush, It's okay
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die
. Sleeping with Ghosts . Placebo .

By my side,
you’ll never be.
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.
. Swans . Unkle Bob .

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
. Nothing and Everything . Red .

Picture you're the queen of everything
as far as the i can see
under your command
i will be your gaurdening
when all is crumbling
steady your hand
. Never Say Never . The Fray .

I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your peace but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield
I'll be your army
. Sword and Shield . Sister Hazel .

This love
Doesn't have to feel love
Doesn't care to be love
It doesn't mean a thing
This love
. This Love . Craig Armstrons f/t Elizabeth Fraser .

For I am finding out that love will kill and save me
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
. The Beauty and the Tragedy . Trading Yesterday .

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
Remember now
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
. A Place for Us . Leigh Nash f/t Tyler James .

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
. Fate . Bleak f/t Ana Johnsson .

Full Hearts

Thanks for the new thread!

I love this title.

ABoleyn1230

Woo hoo for a new thread!

Thanks for the link, Neda. Much as I dislike the "sibling" reference, it's a great article. I love the pic they chose. "They clearly care a great deal for each other". COMPLICATED is the perfect way to describe their relationship and that's part of why we love them so much. It has depth and passion and so many emotions. Though "wtf" to the comment about Arthur sentencing Edwin to death? That kind of reminds me of the review from yesterday.


"Team Avalon" - I love that!

Neda16

Bo and Gladys

You're welcome and I'm glad you like the title

You're welcome for the article Bo I agree, aside from the sibling reference its an amazing article. Perhaps Arthur sentenced Edwin to death in a scene that was taken out But yeah their relationship is very complex which is why we love them so much So much passion, fear, and love

We are Team Avalon We should make T-shirts

You guys I just talked to my mom and I think my chances of going to Pierrefonds have dramatically decreased My mom doesn't think she and my sister will be able to come with me and my dad isn't comfortable with my going around France by myself apparently, and all the hotels near Pierrefonds are selling out and my moms saying its really expensive There's still a chance I'll be going, and I'm doing everything I can, but right now its not looking good

Nightlife_Eyes

WOAH i've missed at least a whole thread, maybe two! damn! sorry loves but it's ok i'm back now!
what's been happening? bring up to speed:
have i missed any important let's-put-johnny-capps-in-a-sack-tie-him-to-a-tree-beat-him-like-a-pinata-and-see-what-falls-out plan meetings? maybe if he had some time to think in said sack he'd realise that what he's done to our ship (build it to epic proportions, make us think he'll do right by armor's awesomeness and BK's chemistry and then turning around and doing the exact opposite) it'll put things in perspective... lol i bet y'all missed my slightly psychotic and sometimes violence but never the less cute rantings!

Neda16

Liza!!!! We missed you!! You didn't miss much, just our usual plan to make Camelot give us ArMor and then switch the cast with BK But I'm all for tying Johnny Capps up until he realizes he made a mistake

Nightlife_Eyes

yes but just to make sure he doesn't die or anything we can throw grapes at him and if he catches them (in his mouth i guess since we'd have to tie his hand to the tree so he couldn't run) then he was meant to eat that day he'll come round to our way of thinking eventually!
o i'm glad to be back!

Neda16

I'm glad you're back too And lmao at throwing grapes at Johnny Capps I guess if he doesn't catch them then he doesn't get to eat that day

malaguetta

Hello, it's Friday! Happy Weekend!

It's good to see you're back Liza. Would be nice and through Johnny Capps seedless grapes -- or would they be the kind with seeds? I vote for seedless, because he might try to spit the seeds at us.
