Monday - Pop culture

[darling-lisa.livejournal.com]

*waves*

Hi! I'm Lisa (raggedy_edge) and I'm going to be your guest host for this week. I hope we have some fun. :)

To start things off, I thought we might play around with pop culture. Its a pretty wide sandbox to play in, so I thought it would be the perfect Monday theme to ease us into the week. Basically you are only limited by what has been released to the masses... movies, songs, books, television, celebrity catch phrases... its all fair game.

Please just make sure to be format your prompts correctly ie:

Fandom, Pairing, Prompt
Fandom1/Fandom2, Pairing, Prompt

An example of today's theme might be:

Leverage, Eliot/author's choice, "somebody has a case of the monday's" (Office Space)

Also, please remember to leave just one prompt per comment, and don't forget if you happen to think up a response to your own prompt, you are more than welcome to answer it.

Finally, if nothing strikes your fancy in today's theme, there are always the Lonely Prompt indexes waiting for your loving attention!

Ok, thats it for now, have fun!

Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, "This is true love - you think this happens every day?"

'This is true love...', Merlin, Merlin/Arthur

It's happened so often that it might almost be boring. You know, if it wasn't for the impending death thing.

One (1) monster/sorcerer/mythological creature/invading army threatening Camelot/the King/Arthur (delete as applicable).

One (1) (and one only) way to defeat said threat - magic.

One (1) person able to use strong enough magic to defeat said threat - enter Merlin, stage left.

And Arthur rolls his eyes, because it's a threat, yes. A terrible, horrifying threat that could level Camelot to the ground, but a common task that he faces on a near weekly basis nowadays. (And, really. It's not like he hadn't noticed that the amount of threats towards Camelot/the King/himself had drastically increased since a certain someone had arrived in the city, even before he knew of a certain someone's magic.)

And he picks up his sword, because there's really hardly anything that a good whack with a sharp blade can't fix, except the griffin. And the whole unicorn/Anhora debacle. And being coerced into eloping with a visiting noble woman, although he'd made Merlin reveal the real story behind that one and. Huh.

And he turns and presses a kiss to Merlin's slightly open and protesting mouth, firmly stopping the flow of gibberish and he's pulling away, already mentally preparing to face the threat-of-the-week, when Merlin pulls him back.

"You're not going," Merlin says, and he has that look on his face that reminds Arthur of all the times he's blacked out, somehow, and woken up the next morning in his comfortable bed with the threat eliminated.

"Am too," Arthur retorts, and he wonders when he regressed to being a five-year-old child again. It happens a lot around Merlin. And Morgana. "And you are not coming with me. Understand?"

Merlin just looks at him as if Arthur's been relieved of his mental faculties. It's a fairly common look on Merlin, and Arthur wonders whether he should be doing something about that.

"This?" Merlin says, reaching for Arthur and drawing him close. "This is true love, you know."

And something in Arthur's chest swells proudly and warmly, and he suspects he has a rather silly grin on his face, despite impending injury/death/doom.

"Oh, really?"

Merlin nods, and leans in to whisper in Arthur's ear.

"You think this happens every day?"

It's the last thing Arthur hears before everything starts to go dark again and...really, Merlin. A little subtlety wouldn't go amiss.

The last thing Arthur thinks, though, is that he'll probably wake up later still with the stupid, proud, pleased grin.

It's not really a bad thought to have.
