Hey all!! I was just wondering if anyone else here has watched Bradley James' movie, Fast Girls that came out this year! I watched it yesterday and I have to say it wasn't bad! Of course I wished he was in it more, and the movie was a bit predictable but it was definitely worth watching!! For those of those who would like to watch it, I have links for that!
Here are some download links (I downloaded it through torrents so I'm not sure how well these links work but here they are!) Link
Here is a streaming link: Link
AND for those who don't want to watch the whole movie, but just Bradley scenes, I put together all his clips from the movie! There are major spoilers in it, so only watch if you don't mind being spoilered!! Though like I said, its a pretty predictable movie

HEY All!! Just thought I would update this thread with my recent Merlin meets Disney AU!! Someone had requested 'Sleeping Beauty' (specifically where Arthur or Lance rescues Guinevère!) SO I took it a bit further! I made Angel Coulby, Aurora. Bradley James, Prince Philip. And Katie Mcgrath, Maleficent! And here it is:

The nights with her were wonderful. While of course he enjoyed their nights of passion, these nights held a different sort of intimacy. They were just enjoying each others company, and continuing to learn more and more about one another. As he already knew, the more he learned about her . . . the more attached he was growing to her. And not just in a way a king would for his queen, but as a man would for a woman; as a husband would for a wife. He thought of their first night together, thinking of how he should have asked if she wanted to wait . . . for he had given the wrong impression of himself that night. While he could not take it back, he could spend the rest of his life making it up to her, which is exactly what he intended to do.
The first night in her chambers he had fallen asleep in a chair nearby, wanting to wait for her to sleep before he left -- which was the plan. But when he opened his eyes he'd realized that he'd fallen asleep too, and that it was morning. These nights just made him look forward to his trip with her even more. So when the day finally came, he was filled with anticipation and excitement. He stood by the carriage door, talking to a few of the men, when he saw the queen emerge from the door, looking at beautiful as ever. Arthur smiled, finding himself captivated by her beauty -- as he often was -- and his gaze of soft longing locked on her as she took each step closer toward him. Finally snapping out of it, he managed to speak. "My Lady," he greeted, lowering his head a little, still distracted by her appearance and grace in which she so naturally had. "Do you have everything you require?" He asked, wanting to make sure she was fully prepared for the trip.

Arthur found himself growing a bit nervous waiting for her answer. It was clear that she was surprised by his offer . . . though her words made him instantly feel relieved, for while she was surprised she was not unwelcoming of his company tonight. He smiled in return, letting his mind relax at the knowledge that she would permit him to come. "I would," he said, responding to her question. "I will even bring Cabal and Bohrs. The more the merrier, right?" He said jokingly. They had joked about the two pups being their 'children' but considering how that was what had upset her this morning -- this lack of children -- then he purposely avoided using that specific word.
Knowing that he had to leave -- though wishing he could stay longer -- he took comfort in the fact that he would see her tonight. He placed his hand on her chin, cupping it to tilt her head up as he lowered his to rest his lips on hers in a soft and tender kiss. Letting it linger for a few moments he slowly pulled away, the soft smile almost immediately returning. "I will see you tonight." Any suggestiveness was left out of his voice for tonight was not about that -- it couldn't be. But that did not mean he wasn't looking forward to it. So with those final words, gave a small nod of his head and regrettably left her chambers.

He was so very glad that she was excited for this journey . . . and she didn't seem like someone who was going to constantly complain about the duration of it or of where they stopped. Had he thought she was like that, he never would have invited her. But she was not that kind of woman . . . far from it. The more he discovered about her, the more fond he grew of her. More so than he could have with any other wife. They spend the rest of the afternoon together, talking, getting to know each other . . . just enjoying one another's company. The subject of children was seldom brought up, for he knew it had upset her earlier and now, she seemed to be feeling much better -- from what he could see anyway. It felt so casual and just . . . naturally easy to be with her. As if there was no effort at all. As if they were not pretending to be people they weren't. It would take time for him to grow more comfortable discussing certain things but so far with how their relationship was growing, he firmly believed that the day would come where he wouldn't think twice about opening up to her about matters of his heart and emotions.
Unfortunately, the afternoon was drawing to a close, and Arthur had to return to his duties as king. Though he would much rather focus on his duties as a husband and companion to her. "You're sure you'll be alright?" He asked, just wanting to make sure. Rosa had informed him that the queen would not be able to see him for several days . . . and he didn't think he could bare that kind of absence from her. "If you like, I can come tonight. Just so you don't have to be alone." Because he wanted her to know that he was well aware they couldn't be intimate . . . but he also offered for another reason. Fidelity was extremely important to Arthur, and he wanted her to know that he would remain faithful to her. It was an awkward subject to discuss, and knew that it was not the kind of thing that was so easily believed. After all, how many men claimed that they would not betray their wife yet do so anyway by taking a mistress. He knew that they were still getting to know each other and over time, hoped he could prove that he would never take a mistress . . . no matter what.

Arthur smiled softly when she assured him that he didn't need permission to give them any gifts. While he somewhat knew that -- for he knew her well enough -- it still made him feel rather relieved to hear the word. "I know," Arthur said in a low voice, gently putting a hand on her cheek as if to comfort her from those traumatizing memories of seeing her sons in danger. "I will make sure he does not ride unsupervised." And he had spoken to Leon, Percival, Gwaine -- and of course Elyan -- to make sure that they took some time to teach him how to ride. As well as never let him go on his own, though the men already knew that much. They may be reckless with themselves sometimes -- especially Gwaine -- but when it came to protecting and caring for others, they knew exactly what to do.
Arthur truly wished he could be there to show her the horse; that they could all go for a ride together. "He still needs a name," Arthur told her, trying to focus on something apart from his inability to be there. "I think Thomas had trouble thinking of one, for it seems he wants to find the perfect name for his new companion." For a name was everything.

Thanking him? Though he reasons honored him beyond words, he couldn't agree with them. What had he given her, other than heartache. He had been the source of her tears, his actions -- and inactions -- the source of her pain. He had gone back to his wife after being with her. He was the reason Thomas had been kidnapped, and he was the reason she had been faced with such emotional strain during her pregnancy. No. He had hardly given her anything, but it showed one of the many qualities he loved about her. How she always managed to see the good in everyone. He did not want to spend this time, expressing his disagreement with her words, though he strongly felt it. "As yours saved me," he told her, never wanting her to doubt that. For he was a better man, because of her.
"Come then, let us enjoy the evening with our children. And then let me spend the night telling you, and showing you how much I love you." Following these words, he leaned forward to kiss her lips once more, unable to get enough of this incredible sensation. He forced himself to pull away, taking her hand in his as he led them to his door. Before he stopped, remembering his gift . . . and remembering his gift to Thomas. He released her hand and stepped toward the rocking horse. "I had not checked with you if it was alright to gift Thomas with what I did today," he said, knowing that his presence in their lives could be temporary . . . and did not want to leave her with something that she had to deal with, like a horse. He really was not helping keep their family a small size: he'd first encouraged her to get a puppy for Thomas, and now he'd given him a horse.

He could not keep the smile from his lips whenever they were not pressed against hers. He was relieved to hear that she had gotten enough rest, for both her and the child's sake. One that she seemed to firmly believe was a boy . . . but whether it was a son or daughter they would have, it was a child. And Arthur longed to be there in the moment it was introduced to this world so that he could be one of the first people to greet him or her. His thoughts were distracted when she moved to remove his sword belt, and his smile remained in place. "I think I'll be fine without it," he said a bit teasingly, more so toward himself though. He had grown quite attached to the weapon, even if it has been in his possession for years now. However tonight, and at any other time, he would much rather hold her than a sword. And as if on cue, sh came back to him and stepped into his arms once more. Which only made him wrap his own around her and held her close to him. "I know the feeling," he replied softly. "For it is only with you, that I feel truly happy." That he felt complete. That he felt like himself. That he felt like he could get through anything and everything. She was the source of his strength, and so many other things that could not be described in mere words. He leaned forward, his lips now resting on her forehead rather than her lips. He kept them there for a few moments before pulled back enough to speak. "Thank you Guienvere. For all you have given me." Not just the children -- though he was indeed grateful for that -- but all the other things: happiness, hope, faith, strengh, and so on. So many things that he wondered if she truly knew just how much she'd given him.

Arthur instantly smiled when he saw her as she stepped aside to let him enter. He did as he was told, setting the covered gift on the bed and when his hands were no longer occupied by the gifts, she read his mind and stepped toward him, taking their place. He deeply kissed her in return, letting himself just bask in the pleasure and joy he always received when embracing her. Letting linger for a few moments longer, he reluctantly ended it as she said that she had been worried that he may not be able to come. "I wouldn't miss this for the world," he told her softly, leaning forward to kiss her again. How he missed her all day. In the months that he had not been able to see her, and even now only able to see her during the night and other stolen moments . . . it wasn't enough. It would never be enough. Not until the day they were married.
Slowly bringing the second kiss to an end, he looked at her, a soft smile on his lips as his eyes soaked in her perfection. "How are you?" He asked, wondering -- and hoping -- she had gotten enough rest with the baby. His hand went to her growing belly, as he glanced down at it for a moment before meeting her eyes again. "How are you both?" He corrected, of course concerned about both of their well being. While he tried not to think of leaving in these moments . . . he knew that leaving her chambers would be the hardest thing he'd ever have to do.

Arthur enjoyed every moment he was able to spend with Thomas, and felt disappointed when their time drew it its inevitable end. He would cherish each second with the boy, and prayed that fate was kind and that this would not be the last time they rode together. Helping Thomas off his horse, he showed him which stable was his as his horse was returned to it, and they went their separate ways. Thomas back to his quarters no doubt, and Arthur had more meetings lined up for the rest of the day. The rest of the day went by quickly, as there was much to do, and to Arthur's relief . . . he managed to get it done. He had made sure not to waste a second, so that he could be at ease tonight as he spent the evening -- and night -- with his family. He also got Amaren's gifts together.
Where Thomas had gotten a real horse, Arthur had a wooden rocking horse made for Amaren. With that, were a few toys, and one in particular, representative of his name: Pendragon. It was a soft toy, made of fabric and stuffed with cotton, in the shape of a dragon . . . red and gold in color. He was not sure if Guinevère wished to claim him as his son should something happen to him at war . . . but he explained his thoughts in the form of a letter. Or, letters. For he had a handful for each of the children, and one main one for Guinevère. Though, in a way all the letters were for her. For her to read, and remember. He dressed out of his armor and wore the shirt that she made for him, putting his belt around it and his sword tucked in between -- just in case. Changing his pants and boots, he felt ready enough to go over, dressed comfortably and ready to spend the evening with Guinevère, Thomas, Amaren and their unborn child.
After he tucked the letters in the inside pocket of his coat, Arthur piled the toys on the seat of the rocking horse, as he used a cloth to conceal the entire thing. He informed Merlin where he would be and told him to come find him should anyone be searching for the king. While Arthur did not speak at great length about his relationship with Guinevère . . . Merlin did not seem overly opposed to it. So he was willing to help him as more of a friend to the two of them, rather than a servant following their master's orders. With that settled, Arthur made his way to Guinevère's chambers, using the less populated hallways for he was carrying something rather large and awkward shaped. When he got to the servant's door, he used his elbow to knock a few times, as he was still holding the rocking horse in his arms.

Arthur knew of the joust that Thomas spoke of, for Sir Arryn had requested permission from Arthur to go forth with such a thing. And Arthur had thought it a wonderful idea. Not one that he currently had a great deal of involvement in, but still . . . it was something filled with hope as everyone would look to the new generation of future knights. And hopefully by the time it took place, Camelot would not be so engaged with war. But of course the conclusion of this war could not be determined for it was far too unpredictable. Arthur continued to listen to Thomas, asking that if Arthur was back, if he could enter the competition with him. If. Thomas had said the operative word of 'If' Arthur was back. Perhaps he did not realize it . . . but that was the key word in all that he said. "I would be honored to enter the competition with you," he told him sincerely.
For this was something that father and sons did together, and the fact that Thomas regarded Arthur as a father figure to such an extent . . . did indeed fill Arthur with a greater joy and love. For Thomas had not asked Elyan, or Gwaine, or Percival, or Leon, or any of the other knights that he was close to: he had asked Arthur. "Be sure to get lots of practice while I'm gone," he told him, trying to keep that word of 'If' from dampening the mood. Though whenever he was with Thomas, or Guinevère or Amaren . . . it took a great deal to ruin the extreme happiness he found in their company. "And then we can practice together, for I may be a little out of practice by the time I return," Arthur said a bit jokingly. Without using the word, he knew he was making a promise to Thomas . . . and prayed with all his heart that nothing would happen to cause him break it.

Arthur kept his horse walking alongside Thomas', being sure to match the pace and not go too quickly or too slowly. He didn't want Thomas to stray from his side as he knew that his experiences on horses weren't exactly great. Though he was brave enough to get on one again, rather than let his fear consume him. "He will," Arthur assured him. "Your horse will grow with you so that when you're older and taller, it will be bigger." So that he could have this horse for life, hopefully. As they walked on Thomas' next question caused him to pause. God father. Arthur hoped to one day take the role of his father but also knew that he could not be so vocal about these intentions right now. The time would come where all this would need to be discussed, but not before the war was over. All he knew was that he could never take the role of his true father, for Lancelot was a man of honor and Arthur . . . . was anything but.
He certainly lacked honor after the way he'd treated Elena and Guinevère. But once again, he could not discuss the complexities of these things, so would answer in more simple terms. "Something like that," he told him with a reassuring smile. "I want to teach you all that I can, and be there as a father figure, though I could never take the place of your true father." And he wanted Thomas to know that he would never try. Only to be an additional role in Thomas' life. "Why do you ask?" Arthur inquired, looking at Thomas, as he wondered if there was a reason he was asking or if it was just general curiosity. Was he going to start questioning what he saw in the tent -- him and Guinevère kissing. Or was this just another series of Thomas' questions?

Arthur remained close, walking along with Thomas and his horse, only stopping when he heard his own horse enter the courtyard. He was about to tell Thomas to bring the horse to a halt, though the boy was way ahead of him. Arthur smiled proudly, giving a nod of approval and a clear tone of impressiveness in his voice. "Excellent job Thomas," he commended. "You'll be guiding your horse perfectly in no time," he assured him, and wished with all his heart that he could be here to watch -- and share -- that journey with Thomas. To make a habit of riding with him and watching him grow more and more experienced in horse riding. But he would miss these moments, and while the thought wasn't enough to fully dampen his mood, it was thoughts precisely like these ones that would make leaving tomorrow all the more difficult.
Arthur mounted his horse, moving close to stand next to Thomas's. "His name is Hengroen," Arthur answered. He had two horses that he had bonded with the most, and this was one of those two. "Shall we?" He asked, waiting for Thomas to lead the way so that he could practice navigating and steering his horse. Arthur was here to supervise of course, but he was also rather enjoying this time with Thomas, for it felt like it was rare for him to be able to do so, with the absence of all the complications that surrounded his mind every single time.

Arthur just watched Thomas, unable to take his eyes off of him. He certainly had his mother's enthusiasm and joy for things in life. While Lancelot of course had a deep appreciation for things, he wasn't as expressive in them . . . for his face did not brighten the way Thomas' did. It was evident that he got that from his mother, for Arthur had fallen in love with Guinevère's smile, and hadn't realized how much he truly missed seeing it in all those years . . . until their nights together had brought it to her lips. Arthur stepped closer to him when he was ready in all his riding gear. "Now that you look ready, and more like a rider than any other young man I have seen, let us test the fitting of the saddle." Everything seemed to fit perfectly thus far, so Arthur hoped it would continue. He helped Thomas mount onto his horse, lifting him up and making sure that his feet were properly and securely in the stirrups.
It was his question that caused Arthur to pause, and do something rather unplanned, but something he was willing to take a few moments to do. "Ready my horse, as quickly as possible please," he informed the stable boy who hurried to do so. He would not take Thomas far, perhaps just a walk around the courtyard. Standing extremely close to Thomas and the horse's side, Arthur wanted him to get a feel for his new friend. "Flick the reins a little and lightly dig your heels in the sides of the horse," he instructed, making sure he would stay close so that Thomas would not be led too far, and giving instruction so that the horse would move slowly and at a steady walking pace.

Arthur couldn't help but smile at the boy's genuine excitement over his gift. The series of questions commenced and Arthur just watched Thomas as he neared his soon to be companion. Arthur had wanted to get not just any horse for Thomas, but the most magnificent one he could find. One that was young and strong, yet not completely wild and impossible to tame. He took a few steps toward Thomas, staying close enough to him but also giving him enough space to grow familiar with his gift. "He doesn't have a name yet. I wanted you to choose one for him." He did have a name he was being referred to, but not one he was being trained with . . . so he would not yet respond to one until Thomas selected a name and then they could go from there.
"The bond between a rider and his horse is an extremely important one," he began to explain, his previous thoughts now coming to voice. "you two will be able to grow together," he continued, knowing that he had not answered Thomas' questions systematically, but also knew Thomas well enough to know that he did not often wait for an answer. When he asked if he could ride him, Arthur paused in thought -- though it was all in good fun.
"I don't think you can ride him yet," he said in a serious voice, motioning for one of the servants to come closer. "Not until you have the proper clothing." And with that, held up his new green riding vest, accompanied by riding boots and gloves. Starting with the vest though, Arthur helped Thomas put it on, checking the size -- which seemed to be a perfect fit. "Then you need your gloves and boots," he said, holding both pairs up and handing them to Thomas. "Now I think you're ready," he told him, waiting for Thomas to try everything on before he planned to help him onto the horse.

Arthur was about to knock again when the door opened and Thomas stood on the other side, seeming rather excited to see Arthur. And the feeling was mutual for Arthur smiled upon seeing Thomas. His excited voice was however muted as he explained that Guinevère and Amaren were sleeping . . . and he felt himself grow all the more glad hearing that Guinevère seemed happy today. That she was smiling a lot. And it made him not want to disturb her rest. "It may be Amaren's birthday today, but I came to see you. Because I have a surprise for you," he told him, purposely being ambiguous. "Go put your shoes on, and I'll leave a note for your mother so she doesn't worry." Meaning, he would not wake them up.
While Thomas hurried to his room, Arthur quietly walked to where Guinevère was sleeping, with Amaren next to her. He softly smiled at the side, and as gently as he could, tucked a strand of her loose curl behind her ear. Seeing a quill and paper at the desk, he hurriedly wrote a note. Dear Guinevère. I borrowed Thomas for a short while. If you are awake before the lunch hour then we will be in the courtyard. If not, then I will see you later this evening. Sincerely Yours, Arthur Pendragon. He placed the not next to Guinevère's head, so that it would be the first thing she saw when she woke . . . for he didn't want her to worry about Thomas suddenly being absent.
Hearing Thomas nearing the door, Arthur walked out with him by his side, slowly closing the door behind him and refusing to answer any questions that he had. When they got to the bottom of the stairs, Arthur smiled and held up the piece of fabric. "Close your eyes," he told him, but playfully not trusting him to not peek, Arthur used the fabric as a blindfold, covering Thomas' eyes with it. He stood behind the boy, each of his hands on either side of Thomas' shoulders as they slowly walked into the courtyard. He motioned for the stable boy to fetch the horse and within seconds, it was presented there before them. After a few seconds, Arthur untied the blindfold and pulled it from his eyes so that Thomas would now see his gift.

Arthur spent the day doing just about everything he could. Between meetings, he finished getting together Amaren and Thomas' presents. He then went to check on the wounded men who returned from war with him to see their progress and the extent of their injuries. Once Arthur had visited with each night, he spent the rest of the late morning in meetings, discussing the next few months and the fate of the kingdom. When the first series of meetings were over, Arthur told the men that he would be busy for some time, but in the courtyard should an urgent matter arise. With that, he hurried from the chambers and went to the stables, where the horse was ready to be presented: or well, where Thomas' gift was awaiting him. It was a small sized horse, but strong enough to carry a child.
Arthur wanted Thomas to grow with the animal, so that their bond would be strong at an early age, for it was important for a rider and their horse to develop a strong relationship of trust and loyalty.With the horse was a custom made saddle, fitted for Thomas' size though it would have to be adjusted as he grew older. And with that, a pair of riding gloves and leather vest. Everyone needed a good riding suit. Arthur inspected everything over and when he was satisfied with the result, told them to wait here, hidden, until Arthur told them to reveal themselves. With that, he rushed to Guinevère's quarters, a piece of fabric in his hands as he knocked on the door. He was not expected this early in the afternoon, but it was all part of the surprise he had arranged for Thomas.

He softly smiled when she told him that she loved him . . . that the children did also. Though he knew it, hearing the words meant a great deal to him. And gave him the strength he needed to go back out there tomorrow. "I love you too. And I love our children." Two of blood, one of heart, but he loved them all the same. He had come to understand how he could not separate Thomas from Amaren. Though he was not Thomas' true father, he would be honored to gain that role in his life. "When I do come today, know that I leave all my work behind." That he came to her as a man, as a future husband, as a father . . . as everything, but a king.
For when he was with her, titles did not matter. They never should have mattered but their lives had taken their course because of ranks. No more. Never again. He kissed her lips once more before giving a final look to her and their son, quickly pulling his boots on and making sure he had everything. "I will see you both later," he assured them, having to practically force himself away from their presence as he took the servant's exit and returned to his chambers so he could freshen up and ready for the long day ahead of him.
