LOLOLOL! Stella? I'm sorry but your young Draco is now young Arthur in my mind. :DDD

Hm, that's some good points (See, that's why I enjoy being explained a fandom by a person involved - they make me think ways I didn't see :)). their dynamic. The power imbalance that is evened out with Merlin's magic - that's sweet, and I agree, it makes for an interesting combination to explore. What I love about slash has always been about equality (H/D only work for me when their rivalry is more or less balanced), and I also liked this spark about Arthur and Merlin.

Hehee you certainly make me curious for the fic out there! IDK, I can only bear the fluff when it's 'establish relationship' scenarios - otherwise I'm all with you (that's why I love your H/D...they are so delishly angst-ridden!)

OK so where does Uther in your brains come from? Other novel-historic sources (like "Mists of Avalon", which I read years ago, and I recall perceiving Uther very differently back then), or only the ideas the series gave you? Then I don't know whether it's me / you, or the fact that I didn't give him enough of a chance; but in the episodes I watched, he mainly annoyed me. The guy that will smile at you and shake your hand with utter sincerity and whisper a promise to cut off your head should you fuck up. - put like that, it does indeed sound intriguing. Only I never managed to shake this idea of, He has power to threaten. He should have power to act.
But I see what you mean, and a controversial character is likely a good character.

So there have been 2 seasons so far? And how many are planned overall?
