Regarding my last post, SyFy have edited down their description such that it now reads:

Gwen's, or Gwynevere's, current situation is a million miles away from her infamous future. She's maidservant to Morgana, a kind mistress, but nonetheless her duties of cleaning, washing, fetching and carrying are far from glamorous. Not that Gwen minds. A job in Uther's court is the best thing she could have ever wished for, taking her away from the humdrum reality of her poor but loving family.

When Merlin arrives in town, Gwen is instantly taken with him - he's kind, thoughtful and has a good heart. The problem is, Merlin's completely oblivious to her affections. As far as he's concerned, she's a great friend. Gwen will have to bide her time and wait for him to notice her...but if he ever does, he might not be the only young buck vying for her affections. Gwen might be poor and simple now but, unbeknownst to all concerned, she is destined to be the Queen of Camelot.

Which is not unproblematic (her 'humdrum poor family'? really?), but it's missing a lot of the really awful stuff from before. Good work, everyone who emailed/tweeted!

some other links and things

+ kinkelot's Hands challenge ends on Sunday. I am looking forward to getting stuck into the four delicious-looking entries already posted, but, guys, if you really loved me ... *winning smile* Rimming/felching is also running until the end of the month. \o/

+ New favourite game: Echo Bazaar. I am currently seducing a jewel thief. :D

+ Lots of you have seen this already, but this video is adorable. Small child thinks gay marriage through and thinks it's a-okay! N'aww.

+ And lastly, because there's never been a good bandwagon I didn't jump on: here is a formspring account I just made. Ask me anything.

FIC: Giving Thanks (Merlin, OT4 gen, for glass_icarus)

Giving Thanks
Merlin ; Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, Gwen ; PG ; 1000 words ; for glass_icarus, who had a birthday and wanted somebody to discover 'the secret diary of aggrieved sad-panda Merlin Emrys'.
Saved Arthur's sorry arse today. Again.

( 'Gwen's lucky, Morgana's actually nice to her.' )
