I Just Saw A Fic Where Arthur Kisses Merlin To Get Away From Bad Guys ( The Subtle Art Of Blending In

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

Merlin Soulmate AU where there's a string of fate that only Sorcerers can see. He is obviously connected to Arthur, because two sides of a coin their destiny is intertwined etc etc.

He one day off-handedly mentions it in a conversation with Gaius, who suddenly seems Very Interested in what colour the string is.

---

Merlin: It's red and gold because he's a Pendragon, that's like their whole thing. Even with your old eyesight you can see the banners around the castle come on-

Gaius, who stopped listening at 'Red' and is trying to process Merlin not only liking men, but his romantic soulmate being the Once and Future King: uh huh, yeah.

---

Merlin, three weeks later: Hey, why is Lancelot and Gwen's string also Red? Is Lancelot actually a Pendragon?!

Gaius, who's life is flashing before his eyes:

---

Merlin, after looking up soulmate strings in The Book, muffled through the wall of his chambers: WHAT?!

Arthur, being treated by Gaius when he took a hit in training:...um, Gaius?

Gaius: He's been at the tavern again your majesty.

I need these vibes in my life

I’m rewatching Merlin and my friend has never seen it before so I’m making him watch too so he’ll actually know what I’m talking about next time I’m ranting about it.

His reaction to Merlin and Arthur meeting has me wheezing:

“There you have it, the true evil of magic himself: Verbally edging the repressed Prince into a gay panic.”

A List of Things That No Servant, except for Merlin of course, Should Ever Do.

Drag the king out of bed.

Stuff food in the king's mouth.

Write the king's speeches.

Call the king an ass.

Openly admit to planning the king's assassination to his knight.

Drop the king out of a window.

Drop the king's pants in the middle of a meeting.

Call the king a toad.

Constantly call the king derogatory, but admittedly funny, nicknames.

Call the king fat.

Feed the king rat soup.

And much, much more...

Merlin: Freya is banned from the local tavern so we had to go to the next town over.

Freya: They shouldn't call it "all you can eat" if they don't mean it.

Merlin: Cariad, you ate a barkeep.

Gwen isn't even mad because she knows how it is when you give Merlin a lil' smooch on reflex.
