Maya, she/her, 29, Italian. Currently rambling a lot about Star Trek (TOS, AOS, Disco), The Old Guard, Merlin BBC, the Sandman, and others. My ongoing mission: to (re)read strange new fic, to seek out new fanart and new blogs to follow. To boldly go and watch as much content as I can.

The Knight of the Cart Comedic Retelling | 17k | Mature | Complete     

Comedy, Retelling, Comedic Retelling, BAMF Lancelot, badassery and heroism, Adventures, Kidnapping, Swordfighting, Tournaments, A Heap of Modern References, Author Comments, Knights being Dramatic, Queens being Dramatic, Drama, But this stays faithful to the original so you also have, Animal Death, Fake rape, and by that I mean that a lady stages an attempted rape and then calls it off, Suicide Attempt for Dramatic Purposes, Blood, Death

It is Banquet Day in Camelot! Everyone at court is happy and celebrating and eating, and Kay is being very proud, as he is the seneschal of Camelot, and he’s very happy he’s managed to throw a successful party.

Suddenly, the doors open and in steps a Bad Knight.

Bad Knight tells King Arthur, “I have imprisoned thousands of your people into my domains because I Am Evil! I’m just telling you that because you’re a huge loser, and you’re definitely not strong enough to save them. You don’t even have enough resources to do it! Cry, bitch!”

Arthur goes, “Eh, sadness :(( I will cry now.” Weeping sounds ensue.

Bad Knight goes to leave, and then stops at the door. “You know what,” he says, “I’m gonna be generous. Have one knight escort the Queen to the forest. If the knight manages to best me in a duel, you can have your people back. If he can’t, I’m taking him and the Queen!”


Once upon a time, the author tried to write a very short, light, and funny Knight of the Cart summary for her friends who were curious to know what it was all about. 17k later, she realised that while it was quite light and quite funny indeed, she had failed spectacularly in making it an actual summary. So you get a comedic retelling instead.

Coming back from my hiatus because of Gwen. It’s literally insane. Girl was the perfect love interest being kind and supportive but she is also so much more. She is kind AND she chooses to be kind, she is loyal but that’s something to be earned. She didn’t have to take care of Uther after what he’s done to her father but she did it because she loves and thinks Arthur deserves her loyalty. Her love is literally bigger than any resentment. a task that should (and maybe is) torturous is just something she is willing to go through because she think it’s worth it for the people she cares about. Above all that, she does what she thinks it’s right, she takes a stand, her compassion literally never made her weaker something something kind characters something something thinking about her makes me sick sick fucking Guinevere guys queen of all time

For third consecutive year I joined to the @merlin-fic-server Tournament of Champions, and I can say my honor is intact because I finished the challenge, and did a 12 frames story in less than 24 hours.

The prompts this year were varied but I choose Setting: parallel/multiple universes (and maybe used the Setting: somewhere outside Europe and Vampires too). I wanted to use the idea of giving each universe a diferent art style, and I think it doesn’t look half bad. Please enjoy!
