"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.

Because they have no platonic scenes only flirty.
Because he did it for her.
Because 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".

● I n..T h e..L e g e n d s ●

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

"... 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]

"... 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]

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

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.

Done

[Neda16]

Thanks Justine

So I'm watching the Vampire Diaries..and I'm just hoping that they don't kill my ships too I love Stefan/Elena and Bonnie/Damon but with my luck those ships will be killed too

[just]

Aww Neda, don't worry I hope everything will be ok at the end. I don't watch it, though

[isabella36]

Thanks Justine

Neda, what are the ships from the books. I'm pretty sure they'll follow those but you never know. They didn't follow the book on Gossip Girl, right?

[just]

As far as I know, they didn't.


And on Merlin they really don't need to follow the Legends

you are welcome guys

[Neda16]

The Gossip Girl show is nothing like the books at all! I stopped watching the show That's another show that completely ruined my couples. But in vampire Diaries books the couples are Stefan/Elena with Damon always coming between them, and Bonnie and Damon start to build a connection but there hasn't been any romance yet. I just hope the show leaves Stefan/Elena and Bonnie/Damon alone. I've heard Bonnie/Damon have a huge fanbase and they got a scene in the episode I'm watching

[just]

They ruined my Dan/Serena love so I stopped watching too

[isabella36]

Well, in most versions of the legend Arthur/Morgana and Lancelot/Gwen are the true love stories. The marriage between Arthur and Gwen is purely political.

I hope they stick to your couples Neda but writers have a way of disappointing.

I have to go. I'll be back later. Hope you guys are still here.

[Nightlife_Eyes]

omg u guys cutest thing i have a five year old who ships armor! i was babysitting for a couple of hours last night and they were watching a merlin ep when i got there, it was the excalibur one anyway he said he'd explain the show to me (he seemed really excited so i didn't burst his bubble by saying 'i know way more about it than you' i'm not THAT mean)
anyway he was telling me all about the characters and then arthur was on the creen and he was like 'that guy's name is arthur he's a prince'
and i was like o really does he have a girlfriend
and he was like i don't think so
so i asked who he thought should be his girlfriend and he was like 'well there's two girls, see the one in yellow (gwen) and the lady in blue (morgana) but i think he likes the blue lady best
i nearly died of awesomeness!!!
then he goes 'you're a girl do you think so?' and i was like YES YES YES YES YES I DO!

if a five year old can see the chemistry surely the writers need to realise their mistake imagine that poor boy if he watches season 2 and is all like 'hold up what happened to the lady in blue? why's arthur's hooking up with the yellow chick?'

[Neda16]

Aww I loved Dan/Serena too and Nate/Blair, both were ruined so I stopped watching

[Nightlife_Eyes]

wanna know a secret neda? i'll admit it, in the beginning i was dan/serena and nate'balir... i know right woah! but then nate/blair got screwed up so i could handle losing one couple and then nate/vanessa came along and i was like hell yeah this is awesome but then dan/serena got screwed up and so did nate/vanessa and i was like yanno what writeres you suck!!
i like lily/rufus too! but even they're not enough to keep my interest in the show! (my sister still watches so i ask her four questions are dan/serena together, who's nate with, are chuck/blair still a freakin freairytale and how are lily and rufus, most of the time i don't like the answers!)
