my favourite merthur fanfic trope is the one where its like. merlin is abt to share his biggest secret and hes rlly nervous or whatever and arthur tries to be supportive and is all like “merlin i know about your magic its ok” or whatever and merlins just like. you fucking IDIOT. you absolute BUFFOON. i am IN LOVE WITH YOU

that literally never misses

Do you ever think of how, to Arthur, Merlin is a clumsy, idiot of a servant with no care for tradition, but he makes Arthur laugh and gives the best advice and somehow, without Arthur even noticing, has become his best friend in the entire world, the person he wants to face every battle with, not only so he can protect Merlin but also so he can have Merlin’s support and approval

And then it turns out that Merlin doesn’t need protecting, and he’s the most powerful sorcerer to exist, he has magic, and has actually been the one protecting Arthur this entire time

And Arthur has to face their entire relationship being turned upside down, because okay you have magic, he’s had his suspicions about magic not being evil for a while now and of course Merlin isn’t evil, but it’s more how dare you not tell me, after I’ve came to you for everything and I thought you did too, I thought I noticed when things were wrong and put a smile on your face but this whole time you’ve not trusted me

And in a matter of hours he has to relearn their entire friendship and try to understand why Merlin has done this and why he keeps doing this and make sure that everything else about our friendship is true please say the rest was true

And by the end, because he is dying and the end is so very near, it doesn’t matter anymore because he is Arthur and he is Merlin and it doesn’t matter that they’re also the Once and Future King of Camelot and Emrys the Most Powerful Sorcerer Ever to Live

No, they’re just Merlin and Arthur in their last few minutes together and they both know it and this is his last chance so it’s not you betrayed me and I need time and how could you do this to us, instead it’s it’s okay and hold me and thank you because if this is his last chance to protect Merlin then of course he is going to take it, that’s always been his job and neither death nor magic is going to change that

It’s all inevitable and all his fault

bbc merlin - 02x09 The Lady of the Lake

they are nothing if not the funniest people around. the way arthur walks into the shot staring not at the dress, but at merlin, before dramatically looking down and then back up. the way merlin takes his time looking back at arthur, clearly going through every scenario arthur might be thinking of PLUS every excuse ever in about a second flat. it's comical.

talked about this a bit on twitter but i love the thought of arthur surviving camlann and turning into like a chill older dude and merlin just slowly becomes more private and serious bc he’s stressed about all his Responsibilities, but he’s still merlin-esque in the company of his friends :]

Quietly sliding back into my merlin fixation
