Wait a damn minute Merlin is an actual nightmare of a servant. Imagine you're the Prince and all of a sudden and only two seconds after surviving an assassination attempt you're stuck with this scrawny, clumsy fucking dude with a really shifty air about him who spends literal days in the tavern with zero notice, steals your food, tried to spy on a guest, doesn't let you hunt, can never fucking be found when you need him even though he is the literal manservant to the prince, which you would think should be a priority but apparently he has better things to do, and is always talking like he's the only thing standing between you and certain death???? Then he gives you attitude? Literally I would throw things at him too. Arthur is misunderstood he's actually being too nice

When a siren calls

Night patrols

I feel like I'm dreaming

According to my dad the first time I watched Merlin was when it was actually airing on a saturday and I was like 5 and I would watch it with my grandma (who is homophobic)

Lemme tell you if my grandma could see me now she would probably die of a heart attack

I've seen Merlin fanfics where Merlin has to relive the whole show, can someone do this with Arthur and have him relive everything knowing about Merlin's magic cause I wanna read it

Based on this part of my Merthur Time Travel AU

This is also a gift for @ramblings-of-a-chaotic-neutral for making this beautiful trailer of the same AU for me. (I know it's a bit late, but I hope like it as much as I liked it)

no SERIOUSLY BECAUSE WHAT IS THIS SCENE !?!?!?!?! GIRLL WHATT . IF THIS ISNT GAY THEN WHAT IS?!?!?

Love spell incident with a twist.

Arthur is aware that he's been enchanted to be in love with Merlin. He's completely oblivious to Merlin's feelings though. Otherwise his mind is clear.

Merlin: so, here is the antidote

Arthur: *staring at the antidote* maybe... Maybe let's wait a few more days?

Merlin: what? Why? Don't you want to turn back? I thought this was terrible?

Arthur: it is... i mean, it was. But actually? It's sort of - nice.

Merlin: what? Being enchanted?

Arthur: *flushes* being in love with you.

Merlin: *Thunderstruck* erm... How am I supposed to understand that?

Arthur: well, it's just... You're kind... You care about me and you don't judge me for my feelings and I just... Feel save? Around you, I mean. It's nice, being with you. Even if it's not-

Merlin: real?

Arthur: as close as I would like to be.

Merlin: oh

Arthur: *nervously fumbling with his hands* yeah

Merlin: *struggling* Arthur, I can't let you stay enchanted

Arthur: ... I know. Just... Just a few more days? A week max! I promise, I won't reject the antidote again, I just... I just want to feel like this a little longer

Merlin, who's heart is nearly breaking at the sight, both for Arthur and himself: yeah. Sure. Of course. Just a couple days.

cannon is not necessary when writing an au

We all know the "everyone loves Merlin" and "everyone ships merthur" trope almost always work together...

Now imagine... The people love Merlin but don't think Prince Arthur, or Prince pratt, as they call him behind his back since Merlin started it, deserves him.

They do notice that Arthur is fond of Merlin... But to have the prince seduce their favorite servant? Have him hold his power over the poor manservant with twice the jobs he should normally have?

Hell no.

Give me protective Camelot. Give me Camelot citizens who constantly try to cockblock Arthur on purpose.

Also, jealous Arthur, as a treat.

Modern AU concept:

*grindr notifcation goes off*

Merlin: Arthur ... Why are you on grindr?

Arthur: Well, you said that I would return when Albion's need is greatest. But I can't do it on my own, so I thought I'll go and recruit some knights. And in the app description it says that you can find men on this app.

Merlin: ...

Merlin: okay then, carry on.

Bonus 1:

Arthur: MERLIN!!!!

Merlin: yes, Arthur?

Arthur: why do all these men want to bed me?!?!?!

Merlin: because it's a dating app. I told you about those

Arthur: oh... Wait, then why did you recognise the notification sound?

Merlin: ...

Arthur: Are you bedding men?

Merlin: I do have a life outside of you.

Arthur: *hurrying to open his phone*

*grindr sound goes off again on Merlin's phone this time.

Merlin: did you just match me?

Arthur: you can't have a life outside of me. I am everywhere.

Bonus 2: *weeks later*

Grindr sound goes off again.

Arthur: holy shit, I think I found Gwaine!!!

All of the knights: Can you come collect your freak of a man please. He’s doing things.

Arthur: No I set him loose on purpose.

nothing beats the ship dynamic of “hissy black cat and his loyal golden retriever bf”

I eat that shit up every. single. time.

too many blorbos, too little time

idk when this progress shot is from lol

actually, no, i changed my mind. what if arthur didn’t allow himself to actually feel what he did for merlin, didn’t let it go past the simple knowledge of it being there, because he KNEW merlin had a secret, thinking that one day merlin would tell him, would show all of himself, so he could then do it in return. and then merlin tells him he has magic, right as he’s dying. and he thinks “you fool, THIS is what you couldn’t tell me? THIS is what kept us apart?”

bbc merlin - 03x04 Gwaine

the way arthur doesn't push as much as he just shoulder bumps merlin, the way merlin starts running before arthur even makes a move, the way arthur only runs about three steps before stopping. intricate rituals etc etc.

Arthur: what are you doing?

Gwen: *watching a couple* matchmaking

Arthur: what's that?

Gwen: I'm like a hitman. Only that my objective is to get people together and not shoot them.

Arthur: ... Is that a thing? You can do that?

Gwen: sweety, I can do anything, I'm Gwen

Arthur: can you matchmake me and Merlin?

Gwen: consider it done

After they got together:

Merlin: I hear you're a hitman

Gwen: how can I help, dear?

Merlin: I need a hitman. I have my eye on someone who needs to motherfucking DIE

Arthur: she's not that kind of -

Gwen: *already taking out her guns* give me a name

what the fuck is happening here why are they homosexual gay people

tweaking over merthur

im reading a merthur fic and its the scene where merlin was disguised as dragoon to save uther, but bc of morgana he cant and die. BUT instead he succeeds bc everyone already knew he was a sorcerer and when uther woke up well and found out merlin saved him he was so disgusted that he was saved by magic that he grabbed a knife and stabbed his throat IN FRONT of both merlin and arthur. like what the fuck is happening rn i feel like im going insane

the way that he jumped down that cliff, leaving his unconscious wife alone up there is so goofy.

arthur needed to save his babygirl manservant so bad that he forgot about wife… so real

5x09 With all my heart

i feel like we didn't talk about this scene enough??? (i can't believe this scene also walked out my mind ajjajsfjh) it's CRAZY how arthur is willing to cut off his own limb to save merlin and gwen in this situation. that arm is gone if mordred didn't come 😭

AND HE DIDN’T EVEN HESITATE AFTER STRUGGLING FOR WHAT? 15 MINUTE MAX 😭

arthur: yeah i think all hope is lost, time to go arm

mordred: oh god please no
