Re: So I figure I would start since no one else has....

I had an idea for this - the only trouble is that it would be very plotty to work out because, obviously, 6x07 was very plotty and there are some aspects that would need to be translated to Merlin.

On the other hand a shorter fic would be easier and less confusing to pull off.

The ideas I have really exist in my fanon head, lol! However a shorter fic is pretty do-able but it would have to focus on one particular aspect of A Good Man Goes to War rather than a replay of all the plot devices with the Merlin characters.

For example the idea of the child of Arthur and Gwen being born but then being stolen by someone in order than she might be turned into a weapon to fight Merlin.

See, I picture it very differently.

This is where my head-canon kicks in but I always imagined that it would be Morgause alone who steals Arthur and Gwen's child, almost certainly a daughter, in a bid to turn her into a weapon to fight Mordred. I think that Morgana will almost certainly "dump" Morgause once Mordred turns up again, and no doubt Mordred will ensure it's just him and Morgana, no Morgause trying to control things from behind the scenes.

Of course this all lies in the head-canon that I have that Morgause is actually Igraine's daughter and therefore would have an invested interested in her 'niece' in her desire to take her and mould her. Plus it also explains to me why the daughter might have magic; in my terrible head-canon magic decends through the female line, skipping off the boys.

IDK, I just hate the idea of Morgana being anywhere near a child of Arthur/Gwen, not least because I think Morgana's first reaction would be to kill her -- not turn her into a weapon to fight Merlin. She's not really smart enough to think of that, and seeing as Morgana wants the throne for herself, this would be her own niece and rival. She'd just want to kill her. Morgause on the other hand is smart enough to think of the weapon idea and probably would be looking for any old heir she can get her hands on.

Hey, if you bring time travelling into it then you could have - and try not to let this frazzle your brain - Mordred be revealed to be Merlin and Morgana's son, from a neat trick that she plays on Merlin (I've told you this idea before) thus making Mordred not only an heir to the throne but a dragonlord. He is the weapon against Arthur AND Merlin. So in retaliation Morgause steals Arthur and Gwen's daughter to turn her into a weapon to bring Mordred down. She'll be Hope in an endless, bitter war. ;)

I told you my head canon was a bit too complicated. :P

Moreover if you have the ability for people to go backwards in time in this show then it would explain how Mordred got to the past the grow up in a different time frame to Merlin and Morgana. It would also enable the daughter of Arthur and Gwen to turn up in their present an older child and tell them who she is.

But my idea is very complicated at would take far too long to set up and write down in the time. :P

[identity profile] scarlettpeony.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

So I'm thinking this fic would have to focus on one particular aspect of the AGMGTW plotline rather than knatter on and on about stuff.

That's fair. It's probably going to be quite a short fic, and I did say that $5 will get you 1,000 or under. Is that OK with you? :)

Re: So I figure I would start since no one else has....

[identity profile] scarlettpeony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Definately, not least because I struggle to stay under 1,000. As you know "Plotty" is my middle name. Well, actually it's "Louisa" but even when I'm writing a short fic I usually can write 2,000 happily.

And as you know I had a few ideas about this one, and I've found a way to scale it down. A bit.

It would basically be the same idea but I was thinking that maybe the daughter has magic because of Arthur's birth. He was born of magic, so it would make sense if magic was what held him together, It's inside him but he can't use it or do anything with it. However this daughter will have been born naturally, so where does all the magic go?

It will save me having to go deep into Arthur's family tree to come up with a reason for why he might have a daughter with magic.

Morgause would still be kidnapping her to turn into a weapon, possibly to bring down Uther - would you mind if Uther was still alive, or would you like him dead - as well as others. She basically just wants this child for revenge on all who wronged her...

I'm giving away the plot, aren't it? :p Nevermind, what do you think?

Re: So I figure I would start since no one else has....

The goal would be to use the child as a weapon against Merlin, but I think it would occur to Morgause that she could use her against other people too especially Uther. I mean, it would be his granddaughter - and worst of all she is actually born with magic, which she has because of what he did. I'm thinking Morgause would love te irony.
