RESCUE NOW is raising funds to provide assistance to the affected individuals in Kherson Oblast who are currently facing the devastating consequences of the explosion at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station caused by Russian forces. The funds will be utilized to provide evacuation support, humanitarian aid, informational assistance, and psychosocial support to the affected communities.
Also here's their Instagram page:
Okay I thought a lot of thoughts about the lore so here's a bit of a summary. Small disclaimer none of this is realistic I'm pulling this out of my ass and thin air
Avalon is the name of one of the biggest military suppliers founded by Uther and several other ex-soldiers (Olaf and others). Tech, ammunition, research, they do it all. Currently the majority of the company is legally owned and run by Morgana
Avalon12 isn't only 12 people. It's a network of independent, international contractors funded, trained and sustained by Uther and co themselves. That's the part of Avalon's business Morgana has no say or hand in. The hirable squad usually contains 12 troops, 6 of them rotating after each mission to ensure safety and anonymity, and 6 being permanent members (bravo team). They are mostly hired for high-risk political missions that could spark international conflicts if executed by any of the national armed forces
Bravo team is the knights under Arthur's command. They're ghosts, people who don't exist in the eye of government — officially, Uther Pendragon lost his son to an accident years ago. Arthur was raised as a war weapon and is the only one on the team who still goes by his birth name to keep up the arthurian morale and bravado. Lancelot, Gwaine, Percival, Elyan and Leon initially lived their lives under different names but those personas got consensually wiped out once they replaced the original bravo team (Leon is the only one who didn't start under Arthur's command)
Morgana fucking hates Uther. She bonds with Gwen after her dad dies and Elyan, driven by grief, accepts the offer to join Arthur's team and almost gets permanently separated from his sister due circumstances. Morgana makes Gwen her assistant, goes against Uther for the first time and gives Gwen and Elyan means of regular, stable contact. She wants to take over Avalon12 and end it for both Gwen and Arthur. At the start of plot, her and Gwen are engaged
Magic is a completely unknown force. It only starts being explored at the time this au starts unfolding, leading to a slow uprising of magicals as well as unofficial/undocumented experiments the governments are aware of but, so far, too uninformed and powerless to make the matter public
Merlin and his family have magic in their lineage. Merlin serves in Intelligence corps, being an interpreter, researcher and field scientist. Kilgharrah is a major general and a sorcerer himself, although Merlin, who works almost directly under him, doesn't know it. Kilgharrah knows about Merlin's power and keeps him close for that reason
Merlin and Gaius research magic here too
bi4bi(4bi) appreciation for my soul and peace
And some random here and there facts
This is a Merthur au but the build up is slow. Merlin and Arthur spend majority of the plot forming a friendship and only then falling for each other. In fact, in the beginning of the plot Merlin is kinda of fresh out of a unsuccessful fling with Edwin (which definitely doesn't have any major consequences) and at some point him and Lance have something forming between them. So, if I'm going to continue, I might sketch both
Morgana was trained almost on the same combat level as Arthur and keeps it up. Gwen has a degree in mechanical engineering specifically but still does blacksmithing for a hobby
Freya has her goddamn teahouse somewhere around where Gaius lives and she's Merlin's close friend I'm tired of her being an unhappy character kbkkhhknt
Leon has a long-term partner he refused to disclose any personal information about, including gender, for a long time and eventually it turned out they're just non-binary and a published writer
everyone's favourite siblilngs in their new movie outfits 🫶❄️
Gathering references to do like a little MOR reimagining in my style and taste this is going to go so hard
