Time and/or Place: Press Night for Gloria at Hampstead Theatre, 21 June 2017
Prompt: Rupert initiates a threesome that night - not for his own sake, you understand, no no no, but in the hopes of finally getting Colin and Bradley together. How it all plays out is up to the creator...

Time and/or Place: probably the recent past or near future
Prompt: Eoin publishes another novel. One of the other Merlin cast members thinks they recognise themselves in the story, and is angry about Eoin presuming to have an opinion about what they have done or should do. Confrontations and the facings of truths ensue.

Time and/or Place: the recent past or near future
Prompt: Bradley would give pretty much anything to be in one of the Marvel films. He is astonished to find that Colin would, too. And there'd Bradley been thinking he couldn't be any more intrigued by this man!

Time and/or Place: Right now. Now is the time for an Interpretive Knitting prompt!
Prompt: Beanie hats. Knit them and share a photo; draw people wearing them; write about how one of Colin's beanie hats prompted Bradley to fall inexplicably in love with him: show us why beanie hats are so fundamental to this fandom.
no subject
Time and/or Place: Any
Prompt: Colin is looking through his Merlin memorabilia for something to donate to a charity auction, and finds an unread love note from Bradley. (Maybe he never knew Bradley was interested...and Bradley let it go because Colin never responded, or maybe they were involved, and this note clears up some kind of misunderstanding.) (I could also see this the other way, with Bradley being the one who finds the note.)

Time and/or Place: recent past or future
Prompt: They run into each other backstage at an awards show (perhaps the BAFTAs.) They catch up, and after copious amounts of alcohol, consummate their long-standing attraction. Is this a one night stand or are they finally ready to give a relationship a shot?

Time and/or Place: near future
Prompt: Colin spotted the diamond on Bradley's girlfriend's finger right away. Can he deal with all his feelings when Bradley asks him to be his best man? Or will he turn Bradley down, go off the wilds of Northern Ireland, and wallow in drink and sex?
no subject
Yes! Great prompt and Colin, having a secret girl himself, is really doubting their relationship......
no subject
Time and/or Place: during Merlin filming
Prompt: Silly and slightly drunk (although Colin would never admit to such a thing), Colin is helping Bradley run dialogue for one of the scenes with Arthur and Gwen, only they start changing it, turning it into a Merlin/Arthur scene. With laughter at first and then it turns raunchy, and steamy and oh, so sexy. So of course, they have to block out the scene, right?

This idea has been happily wallowing around in my imagination all night, so obviously resistance is useless. :-)

Time and/or Place: during Merlin filming
Prompt: Eoin is always getting teased about his hair. Rupert sitting there looking smug one night, Santiago laughing, and Eoin's had enough. He challenges the group to a hair night. Who can come up with the most ridiculous hairstyle? Extra points for the hair and makeup people berating them all the next day. More extra points if Anthony Head is the hair dresser.

Time and/or Place: during Merlin filming
Prompt: No one has written a body swapping episode. The gang takes matters into their own hands and turns one of the episodes on its head.

Prompt: Alex and Colin are in a raunchy new play in a ridiculous indy theatre in London. Bradley goes along to the premiere and gets... inspired.
Hope I can sneak this in under the wire!

Prompt: As they start filming the last season, Bradley realises his time with Colin his drawing to an end. He think about their relationship, what it is and what it could have been. He wants to try one last time to go further. But he's quite clumsy in his attempts and Colin maintains his no sex with his professional partners rule.
no subject
Time and/or Place: Around now
Prompt: Bradley reconnects with another member of the cast and they flaunt the renewed friendship on social media. Colin learns about it and can't help wonder why Bradley didn't try to contact him. Jealous!Colin.

Importantly, though, the awesome scribblemoose has posted a prompt over there, a really interesting one involving Colin, Alex, Bradley and indie theatre. I hope someone will pop over and claim it! :-)

Time and/or Place: any time
Prompt: Every time I'm watching the English play cricket and I hear mention of the player Eoin Morgan, I think "Aw, Eoin married Colin and took his name..." So, Colin and Eoin: a classic Odd Couple, or a match made in Irish Heaven? You decide!
no subject
Time and/or Place: Now?
Prompt: The prompt was actually thought of by someone in Merlin Chat on Chatzy (you really should ALL come join us!) Bradley just posted a pic of himself learning to ski with no snow...and meanwhile, Colin is in Park City, where there's lots of snow and skiiing...Do with that what you will! Here's what she wrote: " There's got to be something here: Bradley is learning to ski on a dry slope whilst Colin is up in Park City where they have really good actual skiing. "
Here's the photo component of the prompt:

The Merlin chat is totally lovely...and though a lot of people aren't into rpf, nobody bashes anyone for what they're into.
