So yesterday, when I linked new fics by [livejournal.com profile] blondielox and [livejournal.com profile] lewisian_gneiss and [livejournal.com profile] jelazakazone, I rashly tried to bribe them to write more by promising them the Mini Thems bearing chocolate. Having made this promise, it seemed only right I follow it through (especially as [livejournal.com profile] jelazakazone asked for photo evidence) So tonight I went looking for Mini Merlin and Arthur and found them engaged in what Mini Arthur called 'Crucial Tactical Training'.

Crucial Tactical Training


I told them I needed their help and they reacted with the urgency I expected.

Apparently they still hadn't forgotten London...


Once again, I was forced to play my trump card.



It worked.

They were happy to help


Under my supervision, they got to work preparing suitable messages to accompany the chocolate gift.



I was so impressed by their dedication and the maturity with which they were approaching the task that I felt safe leaving them for a moment while I fetched my camera for the official shots.

This proved to be a terrible mistake.

I was only gone for thirty seconds


I was shocked and appalled, and I told them that I was of a mind to tell [livejournal.com profile] blondielox, [livejournal.com profile] lewisian_gneiss and [livejournal.com profile] jelazakazone not to bother writing any fic about them ever again. They would just write about the knights being the greatest fighters in the kingdom, or maybe Cedric being more powerful than Merlin, or Arthur going bald, SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.



That seemed to do the trick ;)

So there you have it, my promise of chocolate was thwarted. I only hope this doesn't put anyone off writing more brilliant fic :)

INSPIRING IS WHAT THEY DO BEST.

And eating. They do that a lot too :D :D

LOL. This was funny and rather inspirational too. *serious nod* :p Oh the mischief the both of them get up to.

I think my favourite shot is them happy to help at the little bag of chocolates. They look so determined and epic!

LOL This is brilliant! :D

"they reacted with the urgency I expected"
"Arthur made me do it!"

Hahaha <3

*squeeeee* *claps hands vigorously*:D Aw, I will be writing more fic. Maybe soon, even. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Tell them their dedication to each other quite inspirational and I appreciate their efforts! (Love the continuation from London too, btw:D) I always love miniThem stories. Thanks again:D

ps, what are Celebrations chocolates? I don't know it.

or Arthur with donkey ears again I mean- what? XD

I think mine are beginning to get jealous. All they do all day is stand guard on top of my Merlin dvds. Arthur keeps falling over asleep (no matter what I do, he just doesn't stand right >.<). Poor things.

=D =D OF COURSE, MERLIN, I SHALL WRITE MORE FIC! Even if you are too far gone in a sugar-coma to even understand this...

This was adorable. Loved that Merlin blamed Arthur! Ah, ha!

LOL, that was very funny!

My favourite photo was the one of Merlin holding up the sign saying 'enjoy the wrappers'.

what are Celebrations chocolates? I don't know it.

They're assortmnent boxes of bite sized pieces of popular chocolates like mars bars, snickers, maltesers, etc.

Ah. Thanks for the explanation:D I figured it was something of the sort, but was unsure since I only recognized one or two of the names on the wrappers.

No probs! I think they're made by Mars Confectionery. They're not really my favourite ones; I much prefer the Cadbury version (called, ironically, "Favourites' in Australia, not sure about the UK).

I am not sure why this cracks me up, but it does:D I actually prefer really dark chocolate. My favorite is Domori and Amadei, which are from Italy, and Patrick which is from the US.

*snickers* I love how their idea of helping is to eat everything in sight. And obviously, it is all mini!Arthur's idea. mini!Merlin had nothing to do with it at all. *sideeyes mini!Merlin*

My favourite shot is the third one. I love the way they pause in their clearly, ahem, trivial activities because of the power of CHOCOLATE. The temptation is irresistable! Arthur also faceplanting into the chocolate is hilarious. :D

LMAO! This is so adorable and hilarious! Love the threats you made, ROFL ;)

The Mini Thems always cheer me up! Enjoy your chocolate WRAPPERS They look so adorably debauched after eating all the chocolates.

Lol! This was very funny indeed XD

*laughing* Wonderful. Their capacity for chocolate is phenomenal. Amazing that it overwhelms even their desire to read more stories about themselves.

I haven't tried the chocolates you mentioned (never even heard of them actually, lol). I do like Swiss chocolate though - very creamy, mmmm.

His chainmail has just shrunk you know, that can happen when it's left out in the... er, sunshine. IT IS A FACT.

He is still a fine specimen of an action figure ;)

I'm glad you found it inspirational :D I too find it hard to be inspired without chocolate...

Poor Mini Arthur always does seem to get the blame, you'd think he have learned by now :D :D

The Cadbury equivalent is 'Heroes' which, really, would have been much more appropriate. Tragically they did not sell any mini boxes of those at Tescos :(

Standing guard on your Merlin dvds takes a lot of patience and courage, not to mention strength of character, what with the temptation of watching themselves being amazing on television so easily within reach...

I can't wait to read more of your fic! I woke Mini Merlin from his sugar coma to tell him, but he just burped at me and fell unconscious again :(

Thank you :D The Mini Thems are never less than classy and awe-inspiring.

Well as Mini Merlin reasoned, Mini Arthur IS Prince, so if he's eating the chocolates, really Mini Merlin had no choice but to follow his royal example... :D

Merlin would argue he is just insulating himself for winter ;) It gets cold on my bookshelf.

I'm glad you enjoy them so much, I love doing them <3

Well it was only polite :D :D They weren't going to steal EVERYTHING of course.

Thanks for reading!!

Mini!Arthur is the Prince! What's a poor lowly wizardly manservant to do? It would be impolite to not eat any himself.

Ahahaha I cannot argue that their activities WERE a little 'trivial' :D :D

Although I can't blame them, who can resist chocolate?? Especially chocolates as big as your whole body, that must be one hell of a temptation.

OMG!!! I just know you had them do it, Merlin and Arthur aren't THAT evil!!!!
