Adventures In Arthurian Co-Parenting

Summary:

This is an arthurian chat fic I wrote in 2022 when I was 15 or 16, so you are now forewarned that this isn't up to my usual quality or current interpretations of legend, but i've been told it's funny and we neeeed some chat fics in this fandom so I'm sharing this! I'll only really be editing for grammar and such, but I'll include in the notes the reasoning behind any of the odd choices if i remember them. =)

Notes:

I'll add some more specific warnings for each chapter in the notes, both triggering things and things that are a little :| lol

This chapter has some discussion of rape and abuse towards the end... Also most of the round table's parents are like, cartoonishly evil in this and it can be funny but I understand if thats not your cup of tea and you want to skip their sections or the fic as a whole. Also not a warning but Gareth is supposed to be like 15-17ish here so he's not an adult yet which is why they talk about him like a kid lol

Chapter 1: @cai

Chapter Text

[Lake Boy has opened Senior Knights Chat]

 

Lake Boy: @ Cai 

Lake Boy: 1. Change my user back now

Lake Boy: 2. Why does Gareth know about sex?

 

Cai: 1. Do it urself im busy 2. He asked.

 

Gaywain: I’m sorry what

Gaywain: @ Cai get back here and elaborate.

 

Funny Man: Ooo, Gawain found a thesaurus.

 

[Lake Boy had changed his name to Lance]

 

Lance: Not right now, Dinadan.

 

Cai: Gods guys I’m in a meeting

 

Lance: I don’t care. E X P L A I N.

 

Cai: Beaumains asked where babies come from. I answered.

 

Lance: Why are you like this?

 

Cai: An entire childhood of no one being willing or able to explain why my brother was more important than me

 

Cai: lol

 

Lance:....

 

Gaywain:.....

 

Funny Man:....

 

Gaywain: You realize adding ‘lol’ doesn't make it sound better, right?

 

Cai: I have the second best childhood in this group chat it’s not that bad really.

Cai: I just don’t like to lie to people when I don’t have to. Also Beau is the noisiest page i’ve ever worked with, if I had to make up lies about things that didn’t 100% require it i’d get nothing else done.

 

Cai: Speaking of which, the King of Norway just got here

 

[Cai is offline.]

 

Funny Man: Ok he’s gone

Funny Man: @ Bedwyr read up

 

Bedwyr: I’ll make sure he’s okay when he gets done.

Bedwyr: Lance, please calm down it’s probably better Gareth learned from Kay than you.

 

Gaywain: I mean, he’s got you there Lance

 

Lance: I

Lance: I mean yes but still

Lance:....

Lance: Dinadan why do you have popcorn?

 

Funny Man: I was expecting this to be fun

Funny Man: and now it’s sad but I already made the popcorn



[Direct Messaging with Beaumains and Sir Grouchy]

 

Beaumains: hey what does 69 mean?

Beaumains: Mordred keeps laughing whenever he sees it, but he won’t tell me why

 

Sir Grouchy: ask your knight

 

Beaumains: but i think it’s something adult and then he’ll think im doing drugs or smth

 

Sir Grouchy: …..

 

Sir Grouchy is typing…

 

[Dead Folks Chat]

 

Lot: Uther your kid’s being weird again

 

Uther: It’s Ector’s fault he raised the him

 

Morgause: Is he supposed to be… dancing? I’m confused.

 

Pellinore: And he still hasn’t had any heirs. Such a disgrace.

 

Tristan: Good god what’s wrong with you people?

 

Igraine: They’re almost universally terrible people.

 

Tristan: Uhm, what?

 

Ector: Here kid

 

Morgause: Hmm, where’d they go?

 

Uther: Who cares we were making fun of my heir

 

[Unfinished Business]

 

Gatekeeper: Here we go. No more creeps.

 

Tristan: oh, this one lets you change your names!

 

[Tristan has changed their name to Whispers In The Reeds]

 

True Queen: Nice one :)

 

Whispers In The Reeds: So what was the deal back there?

 

True Queen: General death chat. So we got stuck with all the bad people.

 

Gatekeeper: Not all bad there’s Uthur

Gatekeeper: Wait shit sorry…. Morgause?

 

True Queen: Nah, she was almost as bad as Lot. Just not as physical.

 

Gatekeeper: Sorry haven’t had the full view as long.

True Queen: It’s fine. They’re all good at hiding it.

 

Whispers In The Reeds: Hiding what? I mean, you already said they were bad but…

 

Gatekeeper: Lot and Morgause were both abusive as hell, Pellinore ran out on all but one son and let’s just say Lamorak dosen’t inspire much faith in his father’s parenting skills

 

Gatekeeper: Sweet kid, don’t get me wrong, but yikes

 

Whispers In The Reeds: oh shit. Ig the orkneys make more sense now.

Whispers In The Reeds: I always thought they were just like that

 

True Queen: No one’s ‘just like that’

 

True Queen: anyways uther was less than great too

 

Most Glorious Lord: Who’s the new guy?

 

Whispers In Ther Reeds: Sir Tristan of Cornwall

Whispers In The Reeds: and you are?

 

Most Glorious Lord: Better idea

Most Glorious Lord: @ everyone role call!

 

Gatekeeper: Ector/ Cynyr

True Queen: Igraine

 

Two Swords: Balin

Double Vision: Balan

Pellinore Fucking Sucks: Sir Miles

 

Most Glorious Lord: Gorlois

 

Whispers In The Reeds: Dang

Whispers In The Reeds: Not a lot of people here

 

Two Swords: Yet

Double Vision: I like to think of that as a good thing

Double Vision: Like there’s so much good still in the world maybe they can fix the mess our generation left them with

 

Pellinore Fucking Sucks: Do you even watch the living anymore? I mean I love Griflet more then life itself obviously, but that court is a mess

Notes:

I do still think some of their screen names were clever though im curious if anyone will actually get Tristan's bc its a real leap lol

Next Chapter coming soon im just breaking it up bc its so, so many words lol
