Guys my plastic quill I got from the merlin mag blew away on this day 13 years ago and I was so upset that I walked for an hour to go and buy a new magazine so I could have another quill. Honestly never been so dedicated to anything in my life as I was to this silly little gay wizard show

Merlin 3x13 The Coming of Arthur Part 2

[reggieslocket]

au where arthur buys a farm someplace near the sea miles away from camelot without telling anyone because he has been fantasising about it for years and after his death gwen finds the property documents in one of his drawers and starts crying because on the bottom of the front page there's a little handwritten note that says "if anything bad were to happen to me, i want you, guinevere, and you, merlin to take good care of it as there's always been a place for you two there anyway with or without me"

i cant lie i highkey wouldve loved to see merlin as a show that takes place in modern times with its own interpretations of legends etc etc

and its not like avalon high where theyre all reincarnated (although i love that concept too) but it would be more like those teen supernatural dramas (teen wolf, tvd etc etc)

it would probs be in modern day wales or england (or start in wales and lead to england) and no one knows about the existence of magic users except for the aforementioned people, anyone who’s close to them, and witch hunters

merlin would be born of magic just like the show and hunith would make sure his secret is discovered bc of the risks esp bc balinor went missing when merlin was young and she knows that the witch hunters were after him

so they move to england and merlin is raised in a town called camelot and has a relatively normal childhood and then the plot would actually start to take place when he’s in his third year of high school or smth like that

merlin’s managed to keep his identity a secret and is very much just . a Student in school like most people like him and he’s smart and kinda dorky but doesn’t really care for popularity

insert the other characters:

arthur who would be a star soccer player and loved by everyone but he tends to keep to himself. with that being said he’s still prattish and doesnt acknowledge merlin until he sees him hanging out with his half sister morgana and is like 🤨🫥 (+ complex gay feelings)

morgana who’s arthur’s half sister and also very popular, but more sociable and nice to everyone. she knows of merlin but doesn’t interact with him until he encounters her doing magic when she didn’t even know it existed and so he helps her with controlling it and they become friends

gwen who’s morgana’s best friend but also a good friend of merlin’s. and lance who’s apart of the soccer team and is good friends with arthur, but is ultimately best friends with merlin

then u have the rest of the knights in the soccer team who are nice to everyone and greatly loved and end up getting close to merlin when mysteries are being ~uncovered~

also the biggest thing would be that uther pendragon is the Overlord who oversees all the witch hunting and funds it and no one knows that, but merlin and morgana would find out and that would definitely make things escalate

this is very much teen wolf & tvd core bc let’s be real those were PEAK at the time they came out plus it’s fun to see a new way to interpret the arthurian legends hehwheheheh

(bradley and colin look so dorky n cute here but hopefully u all understand my vision😭😭😭)

“You're not going to die, Arthur. I'm telling you. Because I know that one day you will be King. A greater king than you father could ever be. It's what keeps me going. You are going to live to be the man I've seen inside you, Arthur. I can see a Camelot that is fair and just. I can see a king that the people will love and be proud to call their sovereign. For the love of Camelot, you have to live”

this quote from gwen in 1x13 makes no sense? sure in s2 or onwards it would somewhat reflect their growing relationship, but in s1 gwen and arthur barely interacted. yes gwen probably thought arthur was a good man at heart but how intimately did she actually know him

it would make way more sense for morgana to be at his bedside with this kind of plea. she was the one who foresaw his death and came running barefoot to warn him in front of his knights. she saw him grow from a motherless boy into the man he became and how he increasingly clashed with his father. throughout s1 we see time and time again how arthur confided his anxieties to morgana and how she was often the push he needed to confirm his instinctive righteousness.

heck even merlin saying this would make more sense. i don’t ship merthur but with the whole platonic soulmates, two sides of a coin thing it would work. i love gwen but (to me) the writers made arthur x gwen so contrived through moments like this

 Maturing is realizing that the true love triangle in Merlin wasn’t Guinevere, Arthur and Lancelot. It actually was Arthur, Merlin and Lancelot.
