Writing King and Court today! Time for some homoerotic "Arthur trains Merlin how to use a weapon while trying not to be too horny about it" (He fails)

The Final Sanctuary is now updating on AO3! archiveofourown.org/works/64418626 Or you can read the whole lot on my Patreon (www.patreon.com/c/BDStrike) #Merlin #BBCMerlin #Merthur

I woke up today so glad it was the weekend 😭 (It's Monday)

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Cleaned my fence (it was so green -please clap) plan to repaint it at the weekend. Am knackered now 🤣
