The Name Day of William Gladstone
Magicians were not big on birthdays. Being born was a marker of before. That time in their lives when they were helpless and named- maybe even loved. They once were common as the rest of the world. Mortal. Unremarkable. Naming days were better though not by much. Merlin Emrys only knew a few magicians who celebrated their name day and they were considered either arrogant or foolish.
While Merlin did not know the name day of his boss, William Gladstone, he did know it was sometime this month so the first seemed like a good oppertunity to celebrate it. Celebrate being a very loose term.
Gladstone did not have any friends that Merlin trusted in his office so this alone ruled out much of a party. It was just him then. Just Merlin. The secretary and, honestly, now that he thought about it, not someone very suited for giving gifts at all. He had only been working with Gladstone a few months and they had been months of verbal abuse and underappreciation. Still, Merlin felt as though he had moments with his boss. Unexpected, quiet, sincere moments.
Still there the present sat centered on Gladstone’s desk, wrapped very neatly in a simple, matte red paper.
When Arthur saw the package on his desk that morning, his first thought was that it must be a trap of some kind. Merlin always delivered his mail directly to him rather than leaving them unsupervised, just in case whatever happened to be inside shouldn't be left unattended.
It wasn't until he had summoned his faithful djinni, had it examine the box, discovered it lacked any offensive magic, and dismissed the spirit, that curiosity about what might be inside hit him. It didn't look official, so what on earth could it be?
Feeling a bit foolish, Arthur poked the box.
Nothing happened.
–– "Merlin!" he yelled, waking back towards the door. –– "Merlin, did you let someone into my office?"
“I’m not in love!”
–– "You know, it's a crime to lie to your king, Merlin."
IT'S MUNDAY :P
//Seeing a bit of Snape hate go around the dash, as well as Snape defense, and I’m feeling a bit defensive of my favorite character in the series.
why how what 300+ ??? No but seriously I couldn’t of gotten this far without you guys at all, like I know people say “Follower count doesn’t matter”! And I’m not saying it does! After all, this many people doesn’t make me quality. What makes me quality is the people who interact with me — namely the three hundred of you. Thank you so much for being such a positive place and tolerating this dork’s shizzle.
It’s funny because I started my RP career on tumblr way before ‘follow forevers’ existed, and then they just sprung up around my second-joining. I know people feel disheartened if they are left out, but that doesn’t mean I don’t consider you/love you. I love you *all* and I’m so glad I’m able to put these names down without fear I’m going to upset someone. Because this is a mature fandom, after all. That, and I feel the fact I’m featured on so many FFs, I really wanted to do another to say my thank you.

3. Why I love my best friend
I consider three people to be my best friends – Linda, Sam, and Sara – and the answer is similar for each. They are interesting, lovely, make me feel good when I talk to them, and blend seamlessly into my life. They make me a better person. They encourage my writing and my science, they believe in me, and they're also ALL fantastic writers.

6. Favorite Band
Hrm.... That's a really hard one. I love so many different bands! I'd say that right now, my favorites include Emilie Simon, Arcade Fire, They Might Be Giants, R.E.M., and Sunset Rubdown :3
9. Tattoos I want
There are 4 tattoos I want, though I'm probably only getting one of them. I'm getting my grandfather's Buddhist name tattooed on my left wrist on his birthday this year. I'd also like to get the Japanese word 'gaman' on my right wrist – it means 'enduring the seemingly unbearable with dignity and patience', and it's been something of a mantra for me over the past few years. It was also a huge mantra during the Japanese Internment and it just has a lot of meaning for me and my family.
The other two are birds – I LOVE BIRDS. I want a hummingbird on my left shoulder blade (hummingbirds are sort of a symbol we adopted for my grandfather), and a crow on my right shoulder blade (my last name means crow, and I've always just identified with them strongly).
19. Middle name
Roy. 100% not kidding about that – I'm named after my grandfather :)

“But if you only focus on the good and not the bad how will you ever learn better? Don’t you know that if you don’t pay attention to details you are bound to make the same mistakes & next time you might not be as lucky.”
–– "I learn from experience, of course. I'm not going to walk away from this experience the same man as I was at the beginning, but that doesn't mean I have to dwell on the abject failure. It is possible to learn while still escaping with your ego."
–– "Why are you so keen to make me focus on the mistake? We made it out all right, didn't we? That's the main point."
