Merlin: Remember that time Gwen tried to kill Arthur and framed me for it?

Arthur: What?

Gwen: *Ignoring Arthur* Remember the time you spent like two days ACTUALLY trying to kill Arthur, and Gaius and I had to keep knocking you out?!

Arthur: I'M SORRY?!?!

Every fic where Uther assumes Merlin and Arthur are fucking:

Arthur, sitting on the throne, sees one of his guards perk up when Merlin entered the room. After everyone leaves again, Arthur adresses the man: Are you friends with Merlin?

Guard: Uh no, Sire, but he is always very kind to us.

Arthur: Kind? Merlin??

Guard with a smile: yes very polite. Everyone likes Merlin

Arthur: hm I guess I can see that. The knights love him too. He is very loyal, I have to give him that.

Guard: He is also very funny

Arthur: Yes and his clumsiness... It's

Guard: endearing?

Arthur: Endearing! Yes. He's also very brave!

Guard: And nobody can stay mad at him. Even Cook lets him steal sweets from time to time.

Arthur: Yeah my father liked him as well. I think it has something to do with those damn dimples

Guard: Dimples, my lord?

Arthur: Yes he's adorable when he smiles. Makes you feel... Stuff

Guard:

Arthur: Not in a bad way!! It's kinda nice actually. And sometimes he says things like... Oh! When he says 'my king' he can make it sound like the highest praise. And then his eyes look at me with so much trust and they are such a nice shade of blue. Not pale but very bright, you know? Like the sky on a summer day.

Guard:

Arthur smiling softly: and his hair contrast them quite stunningly. It curls at the ends, I noticed when we are out on hunts and it starts to rain. Then the curls come out. I bet they are soft. Sometimes i wish we could switch roles and i would get to comb his hair like he does for me...

Guard:?

Arthur: Do you think he sees me as his friend?

Guard: Of course, Sire! He barely leaves your side! He has slept in front of your door before. Actually he does that still, when it's Richard's turn to guard your chambers.

Arthur, grinning: Really??

Guard nods.

Arthur, leaning back in his throne with a content sigh and a serene expression: Okay I'm ready now. Bring the next petitioner in please.

Honestly I would have been so here for Merlin going batshit crazy after Arthur died. Yes I want him to go full on 'That mortal was the only thing I had left and now you took him from me, how goddamn dare you? I will open up the earth, I will command lightning from the sky, I will destroy this entire world.'

I want his eyes glowing like suns and all hell to break loose and then cut to the gods who are like:

"Fucking hell someone send that mortal king back."

So when Merlin is about to end planet earth Arthur blinks, his hands reaching for the man next to him.

"Merlin?" Arthur would call and his voice would break.

At once the storm and rain and cracking of the earth would stop and Merlin would fall to his knees, all his attention on Arthur as he holds his king in the most gentle and loving way.

Because that's what this entire show has been about. Immortal, immensely powerful Merlin serving this man out of pure devotion and love.

the funniest part about merlin is the fact that he’s even around for most of the show. like what the fuck is he doing there. no other person with a personal servant is tailed like arthur is. and yet nobody fucking blinks an eye at his presence.

like there are at least three separate occasions where the plot for an episode is uther sending arthur on a super secret confidential mission with the fate of the kingdom at stake, and they have a whole conversation like ‘i need you to understand the importance of the secrecy of this mission.’ ‘understood father, i will take only my most trusted men.’ ‘no arthur, you and YOU ALONE must go.’ ‘i understand.’ and then it cuts to the super secret mission and fucking merlin is just there. like. road trip with my best buddy. what a view. love this horse. like ARTHUR?

everyone always forgets he exists the second a fight happens, too. every goddamn time the knights go on a short patrol that god forbid merlin not tag along for they get attacked by bandits or whatever and merlin doesn’t even carry a fucking sword and after the fight arthur always turns around and merlin is just kinda standing there in the middle of the fight picking at a hang nail. nobody considers it wild that he’s there for all of this. the one time he actually bothered taking a sword off a dead guy to defend himself with arthur saw him holding it and he mocked it like ‘lol the fuck are you of all people gonna do with that’ THEY FULLY EXPECT HIM TO JUST STAND AND WAIT FOR THE FIGHT TO END

[pendragonlord-at-camelot]

hands down the bbc merlin version of the sword in the stone legend is the funniest possible version of it. this big dramatic scene of arthur realising his true potential and finally believing in himself as a king as his remaining subjects watch in awe, witnessing a sign that their king is destined to carry camelot to greatness, because this legendary prophecy about removing the sword from the stone has finally come to pass,

and then merlin’s in the background whispering to gaius just ‘yeah i stuck that in there like last week and made the story up on the spot. gonna use magic to make it look like arthur’s actually doing something’ SIR PLEASE

[pendragonlord-at-camelot]

- I can't lose him . He's my servant [ friend] .

[pendragonlord-at-camelot]

okay

[pendragonlord-at-camelot]

"If you lose, you'll have to marry Merlin."

The bet was so easy to win. So, so easy in fact, that losing it would be a shame upon his crown. Arthur, however, wants nothing more than to give up.

Aka, the one where the knights make a very simple bet with Arthur just to watch him squirm.
