This Christmas marks five years since the finale of BBC’s Merlin aired, and this spring will mark three years since we created this account and posted the first episode of our sixth season to share with Merlin fans around the world. Still we continue to receive messages of gratitude and praise for the scripts, and we are humbled as ever by the effect it has had. It is fans like you who keep the magic alive.
It has come to our attention that some of the links on our blog have not be working for everyone. Here is a redo of our masterpost for those who have had trouble with the first. The anniversary of Merlin’s finale seems an appropriate time to pass these scripts around again for those who would love to re-experience the adventure, or those who have not joined in on the journey.
IMPORTANT: On our youtube account, we have edited and uploaded soundtracks to accompany your reading of the script. Soundtracks will be indicated by the red numbers in brackets that appear at various points in the text (example: [1] means play soundtrack #1 on the episode playlist). We strongly recommend using this prepared playlist while you read, as it helps to complete the experience of watching a real episode on TV (really, it makes all the difference in the world!). Everyone’s reading pace will be different, but we did our best to time each track to the pace of each scene.
Summary of Merlin 6: Kingdom Come Fifteen hundred years after his death, the Once and Future King finally returns. But he finds himself confronted with a new world that is entirely unfamiliar. What’s more, centuries of waiting for Arthur’s return have rendered Merlin traumatized and struggling with inner demons. Aided – and opposed – by familiar faces from their past, the King and his trusted warlock must face a cabal of adversaries led by an ancient Judge who intends to undermine any attempts to fulfill Arthur’s final destiny. But how will they secure a promising future when history is fighting to repeat itself?

The story behind the ring
Everyone who’s been talking to me knows i’ve been working on this comic about wlws and cats for a while and i’m so so happy it’s finally here!!! :D
idea stolen from this post :’3
As some of you already know The Dragon Prince on Netflix might get cancelled after it’s third season!!!!!!!!
For those of you who already watched it, rewatch it! And rewatch the upcoming season! And give it a thumbs up rating! Recommend it to friends and family!!!!
For those of you who haven’t watched it, please consider giving it a try. Yes the target age group is for children but it can be enjoyable for older age groups.
It’s from the creators of Avatar: the Last Airbender. It has amazing world building and human characters.
It properly displays sibling relationships and step parent/step child relationships.
The animation is brilliant! And DRAGONS!!!!
I think now this looks better :)
Y’all, I just accidentally deleted a post with 15 of these, and I can’t get it back, so this post contains the last asks in my (still closed) inbox. I’m so sorry to whomever just got deleted!
Meanwhile, in our last round of In the Mood fics before I take a little hiatus:
___________
1. Do you know any good WangXian fics that include yunmeng bros reconciliation?? 🙏🏻😍

Lost and Found by dea_liberty (M, 36k, wangxian, my post)
2. Do you know of any fics where LWJ begins bringing some blue into his wardrobe rather than all white after WWX returns and the juniors (or anyone really, I just had the thought re:Sizhui and/or Jingyi) notice? Or anything having to do with people noticing how much happier/more content LWJ is? (I am a SUCKER for that moment in narration where someone realizes that something (in this case, mourning) is different, when they never really noticed its presence before it disappeared since they have nothing to compare it to) [Aaarrgh, this happens in SO MANY FICS and yet I’m completely blank. Help me out, fam.]
3. Hello I love your blog!!! [Thank you!] Do you know any fics in which wwx is actually angry at JC or the cultivation world? Like maybe in his second life or some other canon divergence fic.
4. hi! i was wondering if you could rec me any “duckling juniors protecting/loving/defending wwx” fics? love the blog, thank you for all the work you put into it <33

5. Hi! I’m kind of in a single parent lwj obsession rn, so was wondering if you knew of any good fics with wangxian parenting lsz when he’s a teenager—either one or both of them, preferably modern au, though really happy with whatever—along with any good single parent lwj fics for lsz at any age in general :) - @chartreuseorigami-fandoms

6. do you have any meng yao/jin guangyao centric sories where he is a good guy any au would be fine. @mystic-wolf-bait
Body Swap AU by floraidh (G, 24k, wangxian, my post)
mercyandmagic usually has stories where meng yao goes through a growth arc and becomes good
7. Hi! I was wondering if you know any good fics where Wei Wuxian was raised by someone other than the Jiang Sect or he grew up on the streets? Or maybe a fic where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji knew each other growing up?
Here is my Non-Yunmeng Wei Wuxian list.
8. Hi, your Tumblr is a blessing! Thank you for running it 🙏 [You’re very welcome!] I feel like there’s not enough fics where wwx, in contrast to canon, is actually liked / adored / admired / courted by many. Which is strange, because he’s know for being a beautiful, talented and intelligent, I refuse to believe that only lwj would fall for his charms! Ofc that calls for a mandatory lwj boiling in vinegar and (probably) oblivious wwx. Any recs? Wwx needs more love and positive attention!
with you, I am home by tellthemstories (M, 47k, wangxian, my post)

9. Hello, anyone knows a good completed fic with wangxian in an actual love drama/triangle? By actual I mean real, not WWX’s 1-braincel-you-like-mianmian idiocy. I read three fairly good ones - “A Heart Made of Jade” makkurokuro93, “While You Were Sleeping” queen_gee, “They Call Me Homewrecker” sweetlolixo - but overall this doesn’t seem to be a popular wangxian trope, there’s only few completed ones with “Love Triangles” tag. No polyamory group sex kink. P.S Any combo, wangxian+lxc is coincidental
The Proposal by LFMH021 (T, 93k, wangxian)
10. Do you have any fic recs with smitten LWJ from his POV and some vinegar drinking? Gonna give my recs in this topic too, as I love those! My personal favourites are: Smile for Me by Kuro, Soft-hearted by Sarahyyy, The Emperor’s Portrait by catbrainedschemes, Marital Prospects by Vamillepudding, The Breaking of Your Soul by sunsandships. Other nice ones: Works of Art by aetherya, Impulse Control by Sarahyyy, Flower Crown by MiiMi, Of Bunnies, Sleeves and All Happy Things by Moonwaif! [Wow, you’re much better at this than I am… I’m going to need to put half of these on my List.]

11. ok this is a super random ask but do you have any fics where Lan Wangji is shorter than Wei Wuxian? idk but I just think its a really interesting hc. thanks mojo!
Everything by scifigeek14
12. Hey! I’m looking for hurt fics where LWJ is very cold towards WWX, maybe because he’s in denial about his feelings or for some other reason; and WWX is very hurt. I’ve read Rebuttable Presumption by sarahyy (and all its AUs) and Broken Glass by Amona (both great, can highly recommend)! Bonus for sad themes like break up, separation, mental health issues… or LWJ’s POV. Something full of regret and heartbreak.

13. Hi, I was hoping you could help me find some fics based around Madam Yu being a horrible parent/guardian to WWX and someone finds out? Could also just be a subplot, I just really want a fic where someone gets angry with Madam Yu. Don’t really mind if it’s Canon Verse or Modern AU
