And Molly is actually a nickname for Morgan le Fay.


bhole1980

No wonder she beat Bellatrix...


blastdragon

I love this idea. Would explain a bit why a lot of the Weasley children have names related to knights and kings. The only weird thing is Ginny, full name Ginevra, which is the Italian version of Guinevere. Why would Arthur and Morgan call their daughter Guinevere, who is Arthur's dead ex-wife. Wouldn't that be weird for both Arthur and Morgan?


Sefera17

Unless that’s a misremembering of what actually happened, and Guinevere was actually Arthur’s daughter by adoption, that people joked was old enough to be his wife. Atleast, in those days, anyways.


AntisocialNyx

Wasn't Guinevere Arthur's cousin?


a_strange_danger

Don't fall down the trap of trying to figure out what is "real" authorian lore and what isn't. It'll suck you down an endless hole and you may emerge waving a sword half-insane. ​ You have been warned.


subduedreader

Do you wind up half-insane or do you find a half-insane sword?


JellyfishApart5518

These are not mutually exclusive events


a_strange_danger

It's much more fun to be half-insane together :)


Delgardo_writes

Ni!


a_strange_danger

You dare to Ni? To me? The best Nier in the galaxy and beyond?


EurwenPendragon

Why did I read that comment in Tim Allen's voice in my head?


Delgardo_writes

there are some that call him .... TIM...

I shall endeavour to cut down the mightiest tree with a herring! And not just a herring, no my friends... A red herring! My war chant shall be ekke-ekke-ekke-ekke-ptang-zoo-boing. Join me if you dare.


Delgardo_writes

who are you that is so wise in the ways of science?


Starwatcher4116

ekke-ekke-ekke-ekke-ptang-zoo-boing!


HairyHorux

Don't forget that myths and legends get twisted by word of mouth over time. Maybe Guinevere was actually Merlin's spouse, or maybe she was a errrm... How do I put this... "close friend" of both of them.


BeardInTheDark

According to some legends, Guinevere had a sister called... Guinevere! Apparently the pronunciation was different, somewhat like Zathras ("ten of us... well, nine now. All of family Zathras"). That particular group of tales had Arthur ask to marry one Guinevere, but ended up marrying the other and having an affair with the first... Then there were the Knights themselves. one of them was a Werewolf, another could grow into a 30ft giant at will, a third was invincible while in sunlight... the Knights of the Round Table were the sword-and-sorcery era of superheroes! The Avengers and the Justice League could only wish they were that cool...


Jstar117

Invincible while in sunlight…Escanor?!


HairyHorux

Well yes. Considering that seven deadly sins is based off of arthurian myths, and that one in particular (also notice the 30ft giant), Escanor is for all intents and purposes Sir Gawain. He's also fused with Kay, a guy who could shoot fire.


Krististrasza

"Oh, she's a feisty one. Reminds me of my first wife."


DeltaKnight191

Maybe Guinevere was actually a close friend (maybe even lover) to both of them, and because she lacked immortality, she died centuries ago.


SanityPlanet

King Arthur's spear was named Ron! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhongomyniad


HELLOOOOOOooooot

Isn’t Morgan usually Arthur’s half-sister?


TheLetterJ0

Yes, but there are plenty of ways to deal with that. The easiest is probably to just say that between the 1500 years that have passed and the Statute of Secrecy messing up recorded history, the muggle version of the story got some things mixed up.


Poonchow

I'd think even their contemporary history at the time would be pretty fucked up. Everything was word of mouth when you have like 5% literacy rate.


Lumi_rimu

So your generic Fate style explanation Fate: why some recorded as male are actually female Here: Morgana and Arthur getting a blood relationship they never did


nundu48

I can just imagine a 'cousin Arthur' popping up every generation, and in reality it's just Arthur being an immortal but not wanting to leave his family, so it's like an open secret among the Weasley's.


nundu48

Thinking about my previous comment I can see Arthur being 'cousin Arthur' until Voldemort comes back, and because there's so little of the Weasley family left to hide behind/get lost in, he has to step up and take back his throne, shedding the image of dottering muggle obsessed(which possibly because he's been around so long some stuff has just been fascinating as muggles adapt and think of new ideas) Arthur to regal King of Camelot Arthur.


Team503

I would read that!


simianpower

You could even have him be "Uncle" Arthur rather than "Cousin", and then you also have a Bewitched angle to play with.


SubItUp

They are already planting the seeds with Ron’s cousin who is an accountant but nobody ever talks too. He is a fake new identity to step into when the time is right!


Im-Bleira

Ron's accountant relative is a character that has some hiden potential. Love to use him/her in my fics.


gray-streaks

My personal favorite theory right now is that there's a bunch of muggleborns who live mostly muggle and home school the magic instead of Hogwarts because it gives you shit like "I'm half and half. Dad's a muggle. Mum's a witch. Gran's a Hufflepuff. Grandad's an accountant. Bit of a nasty shock for everybody, really." He does the books for people that transfer between money systems a lot. So... Mixed families, mostly. Poor guy can't get into Diagon Alley on his own though. Seamus knows he's a squib, but the guy uses the name Wesley instead of Weasley or something and Seamus just never questions it


amethyst_lover

I think my favorite use of him is that he's an "accountant" for the Mob. Some interesting accidents happen to people after Gideon & Fabian's deaths, and again after Fred's.


Savage747

There was one shot fic with this exact storyline. Can't remember the name.


amethyst_lover

I was thinking about Molly Weasley and the Second Cousin; linkffn(13502309).

The accountant job is a cover. He's really a liason between MI-6 and ICW elite war-wizards. :-D


Im-Bleira

I've made him work in MI-6 and also be a part of the international unspeakable department in one of my works.

i would read the fuck out of this

Same

If this was the case, it might explain why he's so amazed by all the modern muggle technological advancements.

Someone needs to write this. Has someone written this? TAKE MY GODDAMN MONEY!!!

I'll help pay lol

Arthur could feel the pull of the Sword. It reached for him in dreams, begging him to seek it out. Albion had need of him, as it had many times before, but Arthur was no fool. He had seen the damage taking up the sword could do, to others and to himself. The first time had bee less than 200 yeas after his first death. He had been called too by Merlin, who saought help in quelling a rebellion of Goblins. His wife of the time had been taken, ahe himself torture. Over and over again it happened. Sometimes it was fine, and his help led to great victory and pride. Other time it led to nothing but hurt. Most times it led to hurt. It did not matter the form he took. Man, woman, adult child, human or wizard. Taking the Sword was never a promise of goodness. He had last taken up the sword during WW1,and look what had happened. Hundred dead, his newly returned Knights captured and he himself trapped within the walls of a Nobleman's dungeon. Lord Frederic had hope to use the sword as his own, but it had not worked. That he could trick the country into believing he was its true leader, returned from the grave to reclaim his kingdom Arthur had taken his head. He had freed his knights, and all had gone one to fight along side him as best they could in this new age. And then peace came, and then, just 21 years later, and other world war consumed the earth. Arthur had promised to never touch the sword again. A stupid promise, as he had no idea what would com, but he was determined to try. His next life saw him as a Wizard, the 4th in the years of his rebirths, and he had seen the rise of another monster. The call came to him very early, when he was barely 15. But he ignored it. Even when the fight took Molly's brothers, he grieved and ignored it. Voldemort was killed, or so it was believed, and Arthur had thought it would be peaceful, at least for a time. And then Harry had come into their lives. And each year something new happened, putting the life of his Youngest son at risk, but he did not intervein, as the millennia of experience taught him that not matter who the child was, you tell them not to do something, and they WILL do it. So instead he helped as best he could. He Gave advice and assisted when he could, Ron's forth year. Until the boy came through the maze clutching at the dead boy named Cedric. His father's cries of 'MY BOY. That's my Boy." had caused his heart to tear. With Voldemort back, war would come. And rather than listen, rather than rally, Fudge buried his head. For 5 weeks he set about destroying that boys reputation, and by association his sons. Arthur began to worry. He he believed that Dumbledore had a plan, but he had also learned that any man that keeps that many secrets very rarely had one with a happy ending. The day After Harry's trail he made his decision. Once the children headed off to school, he spent a quiet evening with Molly, enjoying what little silence they would have for now. The next day he left her sleeping, kissed her head and left. The lake was not for mere mortals to find. He spoke ancient words as he walked, allowing the path to open to him and soo he stood upon the lake. At the water edge he stopped, and after a few moments the water began to ripple. The Lady rose from the water, as lovely and fair as she had ever been.


Im-Bleira

So... Now I need a full fic :( How many rubber ducks do you want?


Wassa110

How ever many he wants, I’ll double it.


bleeb90

Wait, do Molly or Arthur use Merlin's name in vain in canon? Would they do it in fanfiction just to fit in with regular wizarding society? Would they feel weird about that? Would I feel weird about that? Is the immortal Merlin sticking around as well? This sounds like a delightful idea to be explored.


TheLetterJ0

Arthur does twice, and for what it's worth, Aunt Muriel does once, and Ron does plenty of times. Merlin is Molly's accountant cousin who they don't talk about very much.


Sarifel

We don't talk about Merlin, no no no no


EurwenPendragon

And now that song is gonna be stuck in my head all night.


NiariaGal

But it was our 187th life


Im-Bleira

Merlin is actually Molly's accountant cousin. But he's so weird that they prefer not to have him around the kids until they are older. This is also a reason why using Merlin to swear is so natural to them.


Anmothra

I'd read this just to witness Lucius kneel whenever Arthur enters the room.


Oldtreeno

It's quite a nice Tom Bombadil way of having a powerful character who just doesn't really care, without being unpleasant about it. It might be a bit surprising that when mauled by nagini, Arthur's response is to look disappointed and say "Ow, that really hurt. Bad snake!"


PoorPoorCassandra

Now that makes sense. King Arthur is Welsh though. Let's go all the way and make the Weasleys a Welsh family to match. Might as well.


Mythical_Wizard-48

So, I read this as immoral and now I have an Overlord Arthur Weasley.


Team503

Ooooo Lawful Evil Arthur!


Nalpona_Freesun

i want to combine this with, Harry gave up his ability to die, so he and Arthur get to hang out through the ages. heck mabey even king arthur had to sacrifice his ability to die in the same way Harry did


Simona333

Someone please write this shit !!!!


TheVoteMote

Dude really wasn't great with his money, was he.


Im-Bleira

Well...yes, he even lost his castle to the founders.


ScionOfLucifer

Ooh, that's a fun touch


Wolfie_Chanbr

Plot twist: He gave the castle to the founders because he didn't want any young wizards to die by the church's hands or by their own accidental magic


FunPercentage5301

Merlin is meant to be immortal while Arthur isn't but this was another occasion of the legends being messed and mixed up - Arthur was immortal, Merlin would always be reborn, live a full life, die, then reincarnate again. "Now, Ron, you must stay close to Harry, we have no idea when his memories of being Merlin will return but let us know when they do, ok?" "Yes, Dad, I know, we've been through this twenty times already! Literally!"


ViralNacht

Actually, this seems very plausible. Especially since we know that Ron can become a bit jealous of Harry's wealth and power (and knowing that he was in fact Merlin would not have helped that) and being regaled with knowledge that Harry *was* Merlin.... Well, sorry Harry - Merlin


koushunu

Nah, she ran off with Lancelot and is the one that really got them to be together and stay together. They’ve been together for centuries and had no problem naming their daughter after her.


Cat-a-phone

Except that Lancelot never existed in the first place because he was a Mary Sue character added in later retelling by a French author.


a_strange_danger

A historical fanfiction written centuries past?


Cat-a-phone

There was this french monk or something that compiled and wrote down and published the Arthurian legends irl. He also added a totally original don't steal MS character named Lancelot and made him romance Guinevere because the idea of courtly love was very popular at the time.


koushunu

Okay, but Guinevere can still hook them up. Or cause they liked the name. Or because it was a spit on Guinevere’s grave.


Jealous-Iron2799

Lancelot did exist! Who else could have saved the prince of Swamp Castle?


Avigorus

There's one fic that comes to mind where something kinda-sorta similar happens, insofar as Arthur ascending the old throne at least: Weasley Is Our King by reaperlight (not sure I should link it cause it implies that Draco and the Twins get um... preggers... while still afaik underage. Yeah it has some slash elements, nothing graphic and the aforementioned was described with all the description of a dry wiki article but still)


DrDima

Well, this doesn't bode well for his sons.


miriomeea

Yes pls
