Welcome to my usual metas where we hyperfixate over Arthur Pendragon’s love for Merlin. Today’s episode features this scene right here:
To remind you of the context, it was s03e12 when Camelot was besieged and Arthur just ordered Gaius, Gwaine, and Elyan to go find shelter in the woods. A second later, he looks at Merlin, diverts his eyes, and tells him, “Merlin, you should go with them.”
Which btw translates, in Arthur Pendragon's dictionary, to: Merlin, I want you safe, I want you away from harm’s way, but Merlin, Oh Merlin, don’t leave me. I really don’t want you to leave me. I sustain my strength from you. You’re the bravest man I have ever met. I keep going because I know you’re there. Don’t go and leave me. I am urging you to go, but please don’t believe me.
I really just can’t. Because you guys, Arthur isn’t scared to go fight an entire army of the dead. He’s not scared that he is limping and injured and definitely won’t make it. He’s just scared to do it without Merlin.
And when Merlin looks at him and says, “Nah, I’ve seen the woods already”, Arthur knows Merlin had heard it all, and chose the kindest response possible that doesn’t spot on his worry and fear.
Those fucking two.
In honor of Merlin reaching number one on trending today!

bbc merlin - 03x12 The Coming of Arthur, Part I
...okay
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
People who hate musicals are the weakest links in society. You’re telling me you can go watch a Transformers movie, or a Marvel movie, or any of the Harry Potter movies, but singing and dancing is where you draw the line??? You people are boring BOOOOOOO🍅🍅🍅🍅
Arthur went from having his daddy's men to protect him to having his *daddy's* (Merlin) men (Lancelot, Gwaine and Percival) to protect him.
U CANT MAKE THIS UP 😭
tanktops are so whorish I love them. My entire armpit is out. If you look at me you’re a slut
Because Merlin is still trending and because I love to be as annoying as possible, here is a list of horsecrazy fics to read and why you should read them
The Book of Merthur
The show rewrite that will clear your skin and add 20+ years to your life
Will literally alter your brain chemistry; if you need references I can provide many
Excellent characterisation, lots of Arthurian mythology, very epic and cinematic, and will have you laughing out loud and crying your eyes out pretty much every chapter
All Things Loved & Lovesick
Gay pining and cute animals
What other reason do you need
And None But Fools
Totally Platonic and Heterosexual Roadtrip
Jealous Arthur my beloved
Friends with benefits (the “benefits” do not include functional braincells)
Fools By Heavenly Compulsion
The best texting/social media fic of all time
Morgana’s texts to Arthur in this fic are reason enough to read it
More pining idiots. Chef’s kiss
if I had a dollar for every time the bbc made a show about an iconic character from british canon except he's young with black hair, pale skin and prominent cheekbones, and he has an intense relationship with his best friend and is generally gay coded, aside from weird sexual tension with a powerful woman who also has black hair, pale skin and a strong jawline, and is otherwise a lesbian who is fucking her maid
I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot but we don't enough about the fact that it happened twice at the same time
this is just me shitposting stuff I like. thanks for stopping by!
