Now accepting prompts.

I have just completed a challenge at the wonderful community merlinicons100 of making 100 Gaius icons. And I loved every minute of it! I'm still learning, but I'm having a lot of fun doing so.

You can check them out in six batches at the community, or in one big post at my lj.

Here's a preview...

  

credulesque is my partner in crime when it comes to all things Gaius and cracky!Merlin. Together, we've conjured up our own personal canon in which Camelot has a strip club where Salsa!Gaius with his fruit hat is the main attraction, Nimueh is cavemates with the Slash Dragon, and the Dragon regularly visits the website Kinkywings XXX to... 'chat' with other dragons.

Yesterday's chat all started with this picture:



( Half of this will only make sense if you have seen The Mighty BooshCollapse )

(I stole the 'Gaius is a hamster Animagus' idea from ego_chan btw.)

Happy New Year, and may it contain lots of sexy Gaius!

I actually sort of suck and didn't have the time or internet availability to complete my assigned Secret Santa for the merlin_santa community. But! accrues filled my request, so, we got Gaius out of it! :D:DDDD

There you go. Keep the Gaius on strong, guys. See ya.

Who else wanted to see Vivian get kissed on the cheek by Gaius as a goodbye and have her spell broken?

*raises hand*

That thought was the first thing that popped into my head when the Slash Dragon gave Merlin his deus ex machina for the episode. EVEN AS A GUEST TO CAMELOT, YOU ARE NOT SAFE FROM GAIUS'S *~*~*ADVANCES*~*~*.

And this is why we love Gaius.
Watch and you will understand!

Sorry, haven't the faintest idea how to embed my URL from BBC iPlayer. But seriously, watch this. It is so worth it.

Skip to 24 minutes and 30 seconds!!!! IMPORTANT! Unless you want to watch 24 minutes of other non-Merliny stuff.
