Merlin does seem to be the favorite, but then again the series is named after him so I don't find it that odd. However, people adore Arthur as well. Isn't like 70% of this fandom's fanfic Merlin/Arthur? There's some damn good fic that heavily features Arthur, though I'm not sure how much Arthur centered gen or Arthur/other you'd find. I've looked in the past and didn't find much.

And Merlin is adorable. Not sure what makes 'fanon Merlin' so bad, but I also feel like he's not always written exactly the same.

though I'm not sure how much...Arthur/other you'd find

Well, there's rather a lot of Arthur/Gwen fic out there. :-P

[elaminator]

Ooo, right, right. That makes sense, though I never noticed it.

I was mostly looking for Arthur/his knights...I don't think I've read one het fic in Merlin fandom.

[fingalsanteater]

I read like half a Merlin/Morgana fic but it wasn't as interesting as I thought it was going to be.

[elaminator]

I can totally see where Merlin/Morgana comes from, though it doesn't do much for me personally. I would imagine the fic would be great, though; there's plenty to work with.

[dancing_serpent]

And I was going for Uther/Arthur back then. *sigh*

[elaminator]

...I would be lying if I said it hadn't crossed my mind, though I don't think I've read any. That relationship could be portrayed in so many dirty-bad-wrong ways.

[dancing_serpent]

It's been quite a while and I haven't bookmarked anything, but I've read a few very different ones. Most were of the dirty-bad-wrong variety (yummy!), but I remember there was one that was surprisingly sweet and romantic.

Hmmmm...maybe I should dip my toes back into the fandom.

[elaminator]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...maybe you should then rec the fic you like on a thread here at f!s.

...

You know, just in case people are interested.

Slightly OT but I love your icon <3 I haven't seen Merlin yet but I want to because of Tony.

[dancing_serpent]

Oh, then do it, at least the first season. He's awesomely menacing in that one, and his voice just makes me shudder and melt into little puddles. I never liked him in Buffy, but he really really caught me in Merlin. And in that one Doctor Who episode...hee. But yeah, I loved him as Uther.

I think it depends on the sort of fic you read. There's a large amount of Merlin-the-martyr-who-is-being-abused-by-the-knights-but-is-too-noble-to-tell-Arthur fic out there, usually ending with someone lecturing Arthur (or Gaius, or Gawaine, or Gwen) about everything Merlin has done for them without them noticing. That's something that I haven't seen as much of in other fandoms, though of course there's always some. The setup in Merlin just plays to this trope really strongly, even in canon, so when people are writing fic it tends to be something that they lean on heavily.

[elaminator]

lmao, being abused by the knights? They adore Merlin! Some more-so than Arthur, imo. That's hilarious. I've seen it a couple times but I always nope the fuck out of there; I wasn't aware there was so much of it.

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the time it's random OC noble knights, back when Uther was king, rather than any of the main characters. But yes, it's surprisingly popular depending on where you go.

[elaminator]

Ooo, that makes more sense than any of the knights of the round table. Though I wouldn't put it past fandom to write that as well.
