Summary: Camelot is a dangerous place for Morgana, but she can always trust Morgause to protect her.
---
Morgana twitched as Morgause’s finger landed on her stomach and Morgause laughed airly which made Morgana smile. She was lying naked on one of the many furs that lined the floor of Morgause’s latest lair in the woods surrounding Camelot, firelight dancing off of her pale skin, keeping her warm as Morgause began to trail her finger over her torso, painting her skin. The liquid that Morgause was using to draw on her was cool to the touch, which had surprised Morgana because the cauldron it had come from was boiling hot, but she soon got used to the sensation and relaxed.
Morgause spoke in the language of the Old Religion as she touched her and the soft, lilting sound of her voice soothed and comforted Morgana. Morgause’s voice warmed her like shafts of sunlight on a summer day, and as her eyes closed Morgana felt as if she was floating. The strong hand Morgause had braced on her hip tethered Morgana however, kept her grounded and connected to the cave and her sister, leaving her free to enjoy daze that had fallen over her as Morgause worked.
“Is that part of the ritual?” Morgana asked many minutes later, sounding very far away as she felt a warm mouth cover one of her tight, pink nipples and begin to suck.
“Yes,” Morgause murmured hotly around Morgana’s nipple before taking it into her mouth again.
“Is it really though?” Morgana asked smiling as she lifted her hand to sink her fingers into Morgause’s thick, luxurious hair.
“No,” Morgause breathed lifting her head and shifting so that her face was hovering above Morgana’s. “You’re just so tempting,” Morgause sighed, her eyes lowering to sweep over Morgause’s magnificent form before she brought her eyes back up to her Morgana’s face. “I could not resist a taste.”
“You need never resist,” Morgana whispered, lifting her hand to cup Morgause’s cheek. “I am yours for the tasting. I am yours for the taking. I am yours in every way,” Morgana vowed, stroking Morgause’s proud cheek as she gazed up at her adoringly.
Morgause’s eyes fluttered shut as she leaned into the warmth of Morgana’s hand, and from beneath the lowered lids of her eyes, a single tear escaped and began to trail down her cheek. Morgana caught the drop of moisture with her thumb, and as Morgause’s eyes open, Morgana brought her thumb to her mouth and consumed the tear before leaning up to kiss away the evidence of it left on Morgause’s cheek.
“My sister,” Morgause whispered.
Morgause’s voice was thin as a wisp but resounded with emotion and Morgana answered the quiet longing in it by bringing their lips together in a deep kiss that filled her heart with warmth and created an aching throb between her legs.
Morgause’s hand reached for her, but before the blonde could begin to caress her skin Morgana’s fingers closed around her wrist, holding Morgause still.
“The spell,” Morgana panted, “will we ruin it?”
Despite Uther’s hatred of it, Morgause had become convinced that there was magic in Camelot. After their latest effort to undermine Uther had been thwarted, it seemed clear to Morgause that someone inside the castle walls possessed magic and so she had devised a spell to help protect Morgana. The runes she had painted onto Morgana’s skin would help ward off most basic magical attacks, protecting Morgana from the spells long enough for her to run or to launch an attack herself.
“The runes are quickening,” Morgause assured Morgana. “They’re becoming a part of you now. Look.”
Morgause’s eyes dropped down to take in Morgana’s body once more and Morgana followed her gaze this time, her eyes widening in surprise a moment later. There were not dark lines painting her skin as she had thought there would be, but simply pale, glowing paths of light covering her in intricate patterns.
“It is almost done,” Morgause said smiling as she traced her finger over one of the glowing lines. “The light grows fainter as the magic settles inside of you. In a few seconds there will be no trace of the runes, but they will always be with you, protecting you from harm.”
Morgana slid her hand across the fur until she found Morgause’s hand and twined their fingers together, and then, warmed by the light of the fire, they watched as Morgause’s runes grew fainter and fainter until all that was left was Morgana’s alabaster skin.
“We can touch now without concern,” Morgause said, her dark eyes burning into Morgana’s as she placed her hand on Morgana’s hip once more.
“Good,” Morgana breathed out reaching for Morgause’s hand again and covering it with her own. “I am in terrible need of you,” she continued drawing Morgause’s hand down from her hip to the place between her legs where Morgause could feel just how much Morgana longed for her.
“My sister,” Morgause sighed reverently, eyelashes fluttering with delight as Morgana’s wetness coated her fingers. “I shall see to your every need.”
Morgana shivered in anticipation and leaned forward to kiss Morgause’s lips before she allowed Morgause to lay her down on the furs beneath them. Once Morgana was settled, Morgause slid on top of her, and Morgana sighed contently as Morgause’s her lips and hands immediately began to tend to her desires.
The End

Those two are just too hot together, and it's nearly impossible not to ship them what with how they're always looking at and touching each other in distinctly non-sisterly ways.
All that said, I thoroughly enjoyed this. :)
no subject
It really is impossible not to ship them together. They just act like they are completely and utterly in love with each other all the time. The looks Morgana was shooting at Morgause over the pot of chocolate sauce especially were gaytastic. Morgana looked like she wanted to cover her in whipped cream and lick her like a sundae. But yeah, they definitely seem more like soul-mates than sisters.
If Katie and Milly keep this level of Morcest up throughout the season I will be a happy camper.

Nah, not too long. Well, maybe a little, but it was well worth the wait. ;)
Morgana looked like she wanted to cover her in whipped cream and lick her like a sundae.
Mmm... now I want ice cream. /random thought
But yeah, they definitely seem more like soul-mates than sisters.
They really, really do. I mean, who looks at their sister like that? I may be an only child, but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be eye-sexing your sibs like that, halfsies or not. LOL.
And the way they speak to each other. My Goddess. Their emotions and feelings for each other always come across so clearly and intensely. And lemme tell you, they are *not* sisterly emotions and feelings. Heh.

THIS.

I'm an only child too, but I know that siblings don't look at each other like that, or talk to each other like that, even when they actually get along! People just do not look at family members that way!
Also, halfsies, lol!
And the way they speak to each other. My Goddess. Their emotions and feelings for each other always come across so clearly and intensely.
I KNOW! The "There's nothing you cannot do" "It is you who gives me strength" exchange was so incredibly couple-y. They just straight out love each other. They are way too intensely into each other. Morgana/Arthur is a pretty good example of sibling-esque chemistry. Morgana/Morgause is EPIC LOVE STORY FOR THE AGES material.
God, I really hope there are steady helpings of Morgause throughout the season. 3x01 really showed how much Milly has increased my love for the show. I just love watching her as Morgause, she's so delicious in every way, and now that Morgause has taken to smiling and giggling I'm even more smitten with her. If I don't get regular doses of Milly/Morgause I am going to be so sad.

So glad I'm not the only person who thought that. LOL.
Morgana/Arthur is a pretty good example of sibling-esque chemistry.
Exactly. Their banter and actions toward each other remind me more of siblings.
God, I really hope there are steady helpings of Morgause throughout the season.
Oh, me too. I love Millie as Morgause, and I really hope they're not just going to trash her character. I wanna know more about Morgause.

And I love that your icon is another one of my inappropriate (but awesome) incest ships. Oh Magnuscest, so wrong, yet so right.

BRB, recovering.
That is excellent stuff. Very slow. Very sensual. And I love the idea of Morgause protecting her with magic.
I take it you did enjoy episode 1 then? :D
Also, I am totally setting up a morgana/morgause comm, just so you know.
no subject
Morgause in Protectress mode is the stuff dreams are made of. Morgana is sofa king lucky!
I take it you did enjoy episode 1 then? :D
I did. Mostly for M&M of course, but I was delighted by how much Morgause there was (she and Cenred were fun as well), and I did get a kick out of Morgana evil!smirking it up. As long as the show continues to deliver plenty of Morgana, Morgause, Morgana/Morgause, I'm in.
I look forward to the comm! You know it's my kinda place!

Because you know the show is gonna make Morgana SUPER!EVOL and utterly irredeemable while trying to make baby-drowning Uther wooby and sympathetic?
I'm glad you enjoyed the fic though! Team Evil is the only reason I'm watching TBH. I could watch Morgause mix potions for like 45 min. and be completely entertained (especially is Morgana's watching her like she wants to lick her like a lollipop the whole time!)

Kind of reminded me a little of the german movie about The Ring of the Niebelungen with the lokinator in terms of depicting the passing away of the old religion.
Anyways, great to be getting some more of the lost m/m scenes from you. They're the best part of the show.

I know! Morgause is such a FIERCE PROTECTRESS! Her intensity and love for Morgana make her super dreamy! And Morgana's awe of her is just as sweet and wonderful.
Only watched the m/m eps so far but their love is epic!
Only good thing about the second season. And it really is epic. From the moment Morgause took off that helmet and Morgana gazed at her in awe in was a love story for the ages.
I can tell by the way Merlin was left to his fate in 3x1 that Morgause is destined for a villain role, despite any sympathies we may have for her trying to save her own kind.
Oh, yeah. The producers are totally setting Morgana and Morgause up as complete bad guys even though they have some really valid points of concern. The show can be as biased as it wants though, because I'm Team Evil all the way. Uther is a monster and deserves to be taken down.
If you want some more M&M in action, check out the season 3 premiere. There are some delicious M&M scenes in. They are even gayer than last season if that's even possible!

Seriously, you need to experience Emilia Fox (Morgause) in all her live-action glory. She is magnificent.
no subject
The intensity, the deep love between them
This is what has made me so utterly obsessed with them, so I'm glad that came across in the fic. There is just something so wonderful and captivating about how devoted to each other they are. They make me swoon so hard.
I love the idea of the runes too
Morgana, Morgause, nudity and body paint ... how could it go wrong? lol

And I did watch, and enjoyed Nikita. I'm looking forward to learning more about Nikita and Alex's relationship, and to seeing more of Alex and Amanda interacting because the Alex/Amanda scenes steamed up my screen!
