More Fool She by anonymous_sibyl (R)
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Uther/Nimueh
Length: 1,692
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: 'fanfic' tag
Why this must be read:
Because Uther would do anything to have a son, anything, and in this one-shot Nimueh is all but happy to oblige. The bitterness and resentment of their relationship just fascinates me, and this author does an excellent job showing that in this piece.
The world is not without balance. Not the simple weighing of good and evil that frightened children cling to when the night is coldest, but the older balances of birth and death, joy and sorrow. Uther is not a man who can understand such things. He desires a world in which he can bring the light that banishes the dark. These thoughts soothe him, conquer the fears he will not admit he has. But Nimueh knows differently. She’s shed the blood and the tears, both from her body and by her hand, and she knows that to dismiss them as evil is to slight the gods.
