Yvain [Merlin, Merthur, Nc-17]

Yvain by Lady Angel (dameange) 

During the celebrations for his grandson’s sixth birthday, Uther Pendragon was stabbed by his grandson for murdering his papa. 

This is going to sound so bad, but at some point of the fic I really wanted to Merlin to stay dead. I really did. I wanted to read how Arthur slowly started to get over Merlin's death and how Yvain would become the best version of Arthur because  his father is dead. To be honest, if there is a fic out there where Merlin dies and it's literally all about Arthur trying to survie, please comment the url and I will read it.

Anyways. I liked to read the story in Uther's point of view. Nt often anything is written in Uther in mind. Mostly he is just this big villain in the background and somehow he just exist and thats it. So. All those Uther parts were pretty refreshing (even when I don't really like Uther that much, but who cares).

I just didn't understand how Uther could be so blind to things happening around him. He didn't know that Yvain called Merlin dad or what Merlin really was to Arthur. I can kind of understand how he has blind spots for things that he does not want to know but it still sounds/feels weird that Yvain wouldn't call Merlin papa at any point when Uther could hear him. Like Yvain is Uther's grandchild and the story makes it sound like they do spent some time together and hang out. But maybe it has to do something with Uther being distant father and so he is also a distant grandfather. Maybe. Or something like that. 

And okay. The story would not work if Uther actually was aware of everything and especially awere of how much Merlin means to everyone. This whole thing just couldn't work.

The other thing was how Merlin didn't just magically survive. His resurection was this whole bigger picture and him being part of something bigger. It made sense for the whole cosmic plan for Arthur to become the greatest king Albion has ever had (or some other bullshit like that).

So basically there wasn't that many things that I didn't like. Which is weird. At least I can't think of anything right now. Weird. Super weird.
