Breakdancer au in which Arthur and his knights participate in group battles all the time.
One day, Arthur meets Merlin and tries chatting him up. Merlin, immediately drawn to this idiot, becomes a total clumsy fool in his presence, but eventually becomes their manager. Which Arthur is a bit conflicted about because he's not supposed to flirt with the manager.
Merlin, however, is strangely good at his job. Even if his training schedules and ideas seem kind of whack, he lands them the best gigs, the craziest opponents and even a record deal.
But of course, the Knights' worst opponents do not sleep and they are lead by Arthur's sister Morgana. And Morgana is crazy good. She's said to be the best, with one exception. So, to humiliate Arthur, she challenges him to a dance off on life camera to destroy him (for reasons I don't know yet).
Arthur then trains like a lunatic for a chance to win. Merlin tries to help and calm Arthur down, but Arthur is so focused on winning that he doesn't give himself a break and twists his ankle two days before the dance off. But he can't turn back now, he has to pull through.
He tries, he really does, but Morgana would have been a challenge without his injury. In the middle of the dance off, during a solo dance, Arthur twists his ankle again and has to lay down. Morgana grins, certain she's the victor. That's when Merlin steps up on the stage, orders Arthur to leave without sparing a glance, and then immediately breaks into a spin that leaves even Morgana dizzy from watching.
Merlin hadn't mentioned it to anyone, but while Arthur and his knights were a legendary breakdancing group, Merlin was THE legendary solo dancer known by the name of Emrys. The only champion known to be better than Morgana herself.
This had me laughing so hard my stomach hurt. I’ve visited the birthplace of breakdancing in Bronx multiple times and it was not like this! She said I’m gonna bring some AUSSIE FLARE! Lmao😂
