"I've become really fond of the idea of an Arthurian-style fantasy AU with these two (Meenah standing in for the role of Arthur and Rose being the not-as-bearded-but-occasionally-mustachioed Merlin). However, I'm pretty open to what you might like to do (AU or canon-compliant, fluffy or antagonistic, etc.). I would be really happy if whatever you do for these two was action/adventure-based. Most importantly have some fun with it, though!" Here we have our heroes on a quest, likely in search of the Holy Grail, a treasure far too fine for Meenah not to steal it! Rose foretells the way, deeper and deeper into the depths of a lagoon, her tremulous negotiations with the magyyks she studies the only protection from a watery grave. One might think, if some dumb twit chucked the grail into this slimy grime hole in the first place, they must have had a pretty good reason to want it to stay there, right? But neither Meenah nor Rose have ever been the type to pay attention to such thoughts.
