Blackberries, Griffins and a Kiss For You

💕 Read on Ao3 HERE! 💕

“Oh,” Lancelot exclaimed quietly. He stepped around Gwaine and reached for a small cherry wood sculpture of a griffin. He turned it over in his hands, a chuckle rumbling in the back of his throat.

“I have to buy this for Merlin,” he said, lifting the tiny wooden creature up to his face.

“He likes griffins, does he?” Gwaine asked, confused. He’d never heard Merlin express any kind of fondness about them.

“Not particularly, no.” Lancelot chuckled again and moved over to the stallholder, holding the griffin statuette up and pulling out his moneybag.

The sight that welcomed him did more to warm him than any fire could ever have managed. Merlin was fast asleep, sprawled across Lancelot’s bed. His jacket and neckerchief were strewn on the floor and Lancelot tripped over his discarded boots as he walked closer to the bed, his eyes too focused on the slumbering figure of his lover to look where he was going.

The moonlight lit up the planes of Merlin’s face, highlighting the soft ridges of his cheekbones, throwing the hollows below them into shadow, and accentuating the pale smoothness of his skin. Lancelot’s breath caught in his throat at the sheer beauty of him, his fingers longing to reach out and trail over the exposed collarbones.

Chapter 1 - I’d Do Anything To Have Him Back

Merlin will do anything to free Shade Lancelot from Morgana's evil magic and get his beloved knight back. Even if it means poisoning him, tying him to a horse and riding deep into the mountains to seek a higher power in a lake.

“Thank you,” Merlin called over his shoulder to the dragon as he turned to sprint back towards the castle.

He was completely breathless by the time he got up to Gaius’s chambers. But the fact he was still grinning – albeit through the panted breaths – made Gaius’s face light up with hope when Merlin burst into the room.

“I’ve got it…” he puffed, bending over to rest his hands on his knees for a second, before striding across the room to pull a satchel off the hook on the wall.

“Merlin, my lad, slow down. What did the dragon say?”

Merlin continued stuffing provisions and other things he thought he might need for the journey into the satchel, glancing up at Gaius briefly. “The Cauldron of Arianrhod! Kilgharrah says if I can get Lancelot into the waters there, then the White Goddess’s power can free him from Morgana’s hold.”

Written for @merlinbingo square - Back From The Dead

And Mini @mercelotweek day 3 - Angst

Chapter two will be up tomorrow (MMW day 4 - Travel)

I never noticed those two scenes are in the same corridor before! And the flow of the scenes is so similar too, which your gifsets highlight beautifully! - The chaos of the first gif, Merlin’s reactions in the second, Lancelot’s reactions in the third, then a close up of Merlin (doing/talking about magic), then Merlin walking away while Lancelot smiles (and makes heart eyes)!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! 😁

I just love

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed such wonderful works to this fest! It is fabulous to have so much new Mercelot content!

💕😊 Here are my contributions 😊💕

Day 1 - Beauty - Love in the Moonlight

EXPLICIT SMUT FIC - Fingers trailing over his temple, down the bridge of his nose, along the line of his cheekbone. Tracing every one of Merlin’s perfect features. Given the chance, Lancelot would spend every waking hour gazing at the exquisite beauty of his beloved. He knew every line of his face, every shape and shadow.

When Lancelot gets back to his chambers after night patrol, he finds Merlin asleep on his bed, the moonlight bathing him in beauty. A soft tender smut fic.

Day 2 - Grace - When a Knight Won his Spurs

FANVID - The Code of Chivalry, as adhered to by the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian legend, told of the five virtues of knighthood - Honour, Bravery, Gallantry, Valour and Loyalty. No one man embodies these qualities more than Sir Lancelot.

Day 3 - Angst & 4 - Travel - Come Back to Me, My Love

FANFICTION - Merlin continued stuffing provisions and other things he thought he might need for the journey into the satchel, glancing up at Gaius briefly. “The Cauldron of Arianrhod! Kilgharrah says if I can get Lancelot into the waters there, then the White Goddess’s power can free him from Morgana’s hold.”

Merlin will do anything to free Shade Lancelot from Morgana's evil magic and get his beloved knight back. Even if it means poisoning him, tying him to a horse and riding deep into the mountains to seek a higher power in a lake.

Day 5 - Gifts - Blackberries, Griffins and a Kiss For You

He turned it over in his hands, a chuckle rumbling in the back of his throat. “I have to buy this for Merlin,” he said, lifting the tiny wooden creature up to his face.

While at a market, Lancelot can't resist buying some gifts for Merlin.

Day 7 - Fluff - Their Love is More Than Anything

And if you need a little reminder: Mini Mercelot Week is on the 7-13th June and here are the Prompts, the Rules and FAQs.

We are also still collecting suggestions for prompts for the main Mercelot Week (1-7 November).

Question of the week: What are your favourite Merlin and Lancelot outfits? Is it red shirt/blue neckerchief maybe? Or blue shirt/red neckerchief? And are you a chainmail fan or a baggy open necked shirt fan for Lancelot? Or anything else either of them wear? (Bonus question: Lancelot’s floofy series one hair, or short knight hair? 😁)
