Rin
I believe there's magic in everything.

Hey, guys! I've finally managed to focus on my original work. I just wanted you all to know, so you'll know why you might not be getting as many updates from me from now on. All the characters from my favorite books/movies/shows are still a piece of my heart--and all the readers of my fics are too. Thank you so much for all your advice and encouragement so far!

About me:

I always like knowing a little about a writer I like, so here you go...the nerdy details about me, for anyone who might want to know. My name is Rin. My favorite characters are the Doctor (Doctor Who), McCoy from Star Trek (I'm in love), and Merlin from the BBC show; my favorite shows are Doctor Who, Merlin, Supernatural, and a black-and-white version of Sherlock Holmes from the 1950s that nobody's ever heard of; my favorite movies are The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The Greatest Showman, and The Scarlet Pimpernel (I can't decide between the one with Anthony Andrews or the one with Leslie Howard, so I just say both); and my favorite books are anything Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George, and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. My favorite fanfiction-related thing to write is Merlin, and sometimes I still write for it or other fandoms if I get stuck in my current original work and need some inspiration.

For my regular readers--
Summary of my TVITD (The Voice in the Dream) ‘verse of Merlin. (Because I wrote the story between seasons 4 and 5, I didn't know anything about season 5 yet. That's why I have this summarized--to help with any confusion about my timeline compared to the show's.)

Seasons one through four:
Everything stays the same.

After season four:
Merlin’s magic is revealed not too long after The Sword in the Stone (4x13).

Season five and beyond:
The foundational basis of each episode may have occurred in some form, but most of it never happened. Mordred never came to Camelot (5x2), Uther’s ghost never made an appearance (5x3), and most importantly, Camlann didn't took place so early on (5x12&13). Mithian’s appearance (5x4), the judgment of the Disir (5x5), Guinevere’s being brainwashed by Morgana (5x6-9), and Morgana’s pursuit of Alator (5x10) all took place, but the stories went much differently due to Arthur’s knowledge of Merlin’s magic. Neither Elyan nor Gwaine died.

Sometime soon after The Kindness of Strangers (5x10), Morgana and Mordred unite. Soon after this, Aithusa also joins them.

Five to ten years after Merlin’s magic was revealed, Arthur made him official court sorcerer and advisor. (While his status changed, though, he still did some of the work for Arthur he actually enjoyed, like speech writing and cooking...now that he had his magic to help. He just left the bulk of the work to a new manservant.) When Gaius died, he also became court physician. Twenty or so years after Arthur’s coronation, Camlann occurred. (He was in his forties; Merlin was as well, but due to the ageing spell he used so that no one but Arthur and Gwen would know about his immortality, he looked about eighty.) Like in the show, due to Merlin's immortality, he lives on until the story picks up in The Voice in the Dream. (See story list below.)

Hope that helps!
