Re: Pairings you thought would have been popular

[cloud_riven]

I read that as Merlin/Gwaine at first, but I agree anyways. If you compare it to M/A, yeah, every ship looks barely popular. Still, it really bummed me that Lancelot's actor just didn't have the time to be in the show enough. That he was the only knight guy aware of Merlin's magic made me think that he really craved and needed that support, hence he had another reason to talk to the "real" "undead" Lancelot.

And with Gwaine, holy shit when he was introduced they were like best mischief bros! And then later seasons downplayed that, and my hope that he would become Merlin's other confidant (and conspire with Lancelot for bff caring times) totally got jossed and

why did i keep watching this homoerotic fun show

Re: Pairings you thought would have been popular

[fingalsanteater]

I would've said Merlin/Gwaine, but that pairing is actually fairly popular. I've found a decent amount of good fic for it.

Merlin really did need the support of a friend in regards to his magic. Gaius was a father figure and more concerned with hiding Merlin than supporting him in that way (for good reason most of the time, but still). I mean, he was so desperate and lonely he was ready to run away with Freya and abandon his "destiny." That's sad as hell.

Now I want a fix-it fic rewrite fic where Lancelot gets to stay in Camelot, steming from season 1, OR a fix-it rewrite where Lancelot doesn't die (and gets to stay in Camelot). Just think of how different things could've been if Merlin had the support of someone who knew all of him?

Also, I think Gwaine knew about Merlin's magic and just didn't say anything. Gwaine was too shrewd not know, and, I think, too aware of how important it is to keep one's secrets to confront him on it.
