Casually fucking breaking from Merlin stuttering here

Because y’all, no matter how uncoordinated and really clumsy we see of him sometimes, Merlin never wavers in his speech; never doubts what he wants to say and says it no matter the consequences.

But here? Oh God. He can't even fucking begin to process the fact that he ushered Uther to death. He can't help but break over how after everything he did to keep Arthur's heart from breaking, he was made the instrument of tearing Arthur apart.

And he can't help but try to vocalise any of his agony out loud, but stutters trying to say I should have healed him. I should have saved him. I should have been the one to show you the goodness of magic. I should have —

“I wish that there was something more that I could have done.”

my roman empire will forever be how dedicated arthur was to merlin. he was merlin's true ride or die. because sure merlin was the same way but merlin had insider knowledge and a destiny that arthur didn't have. arthur was just THAT obsessed with merlin for who he was

Here's a quick au idea that just came to me today:

In a modern au where Merlin is still waiting on Arthur, historians recently discovered a whole batch of legal documents from Arthur's reign. These documents detail many changes he made to the laws of Camelot, including the repeal of the magic ban (which the historians assumed was just a halt on witch hunts).

However, one thing that the historians note as strange were the large number of laws that only applied to the king's personal manservant, who was never mentioned by name in the documents. These laws range from oddly specific, such as 'the king's manservant shall not accompany knights to the tavern', to downright bizarre decrees that make no sense, like 'the king's manservant is hereby forbidden from pointing out stew in the king's hair.'

The historians' first guess was that perhaps King Arthur was going a bit mad in his later years, but they didn't find any other ludicrous laws besides the ones pertaining to his manservant, which then led the historians to question the identity of this manservant and his relationship to the king.

All of this culminates in a historical exhibit showcasing the documents and postulating on this mysterious manservant of king Arthur. Many scholars flock to the exhibit, eager to examine the documents and debate their meaning and impact within a historical context.

Which then leads to a very tired Dr. Merlin Emrys, a medieval history professor, being dragged by his colleagues to see the exhibit and having to stifle is laughter as these world-renowned scholars tear their hair out trying to understand what was essentially a prank war between him and Arthur.

How perfect is it that Magnus decides to take Alexander's surname? to unite it with his own, making it something unique?

Now, I'm not up to date with the books, but from what I gathered Alexander is it for Magnus. Before Alec, Magnus never married, never even bothered to imagine a forever with someone. Alec, in his simplicity and contradictions, has managed to tear down and entirely destroy that wall that had been up for centuries. And while Magnus desperately wants to hope for their forever, desperately wants it, he knows how it is going to end. He knows Alexander is going to pass someday and what he decides to do?

He takes is surname.

I can very well imagine Magnus never removing their wedding ring, even after Alec's passing, which would be a declaration on itself. But the surname?

He is not only saying "oh, he was my love, we were married once". He is incorporating him in his identity. We know how important identity is for a warlock, they usually choose their names for themselves. And Magnus is choosing to making Alec part of it, part of himself.

In a couple of centuries, when the present will only be a chapter in the book of history, Magnus still be Magnus Lightwood-Bane. He would still be Magnus Bane, but he would still be declaring, centuries from now, that he loved a shadowhunter once. That there's a part of him that still will be loving that shadowhunter. That he will probably never stop.

I don't ever want another love.

The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree in kim dokja's case, does it?

Despite how much he villainises her in his mind early in the story, he'll always be more like his mother than he ever knows.

Both victims of abuse who found solace in fiction.

Both very flawed people who've hurt those they care about all while thinking they were doing the best for them.

Throughout orv, kim dokja inadvertently makes the same mistakes his mother did. He sacrifices himself for the ones he loves the most. He doesn't tell them the truth behind his plans despite them being directly affected by them. He avoids showing them how he really feels and pushes them to resent him instead, despite all their attempts to understand him.

He leaves them without a word again and again, forcing them to desperately attempt to fill in that gap in their lives where he once stood. Just as he once needed to.

And that's something he will never escape from.
