Merlin has Gold Eyes: Prompt/Idea

Magic turns eyes gold. Merlin is magic. Therefore his should be gold.

They start off blue, but the longer he’s in Camelot, the more his magic grows, the more in tune with the magic inside him he is, they slowly start to turn gold even when not casting spells.

It starts slowly, almost unnoticeable at first. Just little flecks of gold in his irises that could just be a trick of the light. But then there’s more and more. The blue is turning to gold and staying that way. There’s nothing he can do to stop it.

Reporter: How does it feel to be the worst servant in all of Camelot??

Merlin: In a city full of ass-kissers I wear it as a fucking badge of honor!

Reporter: what about the rumors that you’re always in the tavern?

Merlin: WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT

i'm still sad

[sleepinglikeabat]

A once heroic prophecy of freedom twists into a painful tragedy as the love of one’s other is so powerful that it collapses even the most certain of fates.

To cast the sword of salvation into the sea as to not plunge it into his chest. No matter what you do to protect him, something will always go wrong. No matter what you do it will always be your fault. You were to be the saviour, yet here you kneel before your lover, in supplication to the fates to save him, knowing you failed your own people in desperation to try and protect him.

You have burned the world to keep him unscorched, and yet the flame still met his skin. This is the consequence of defying your destiny.

Was it worth it Emrys?

Perhaps it was.

just normal dragonlord things- like having a dragon climb on your back while you're trying to do the dishes

sometimes I wake up In a cold sweat thinking about the idea that kilgharrah was just using merlin to get the outcome he wanted which was to end the pendragon bloodline. That he knew how it would end and that without merlin it wouldnt all occur, so he convinces him that all his decisions will help save arthur knowing damn well where it leads them.

Merlin: Have you ever wondered what your future wife is doing?

Arthur: Husband.

Merlin: What?

Arthur: Future husband. And he's about to say 'Ow'.

Merlin: What do you mean- [ Arthur flicks his forehead before walking away ] OW! You're such an ass- WAIT.

more incorrect quotes here!

Arthur wants to marry Merlin.

The problem is, he hasn't even confessed and Arthur can't marry a commoner. So, Arthur creates a plan to make Merlin a royal.

Merlin absolutely HATES it.

And Arthur soon realizes that his plan is backfiring, because the more power and land he can get Merlin, the less time they can spend together.

It is after a discussion with a druid that Arthur comes up with THE idea: Druids are nomads and can live wherever they wish. They can also contact each other from anywhere.

Arthur will make Merlin the DRUID king!

Arthur is determined. Even if that means teaching Merlin magic. Even if THAT means repealing the ban on magic. Even if it means to find and defeat this strange Emrys guy that the Druids keep babbling about.

Words cannot describe how much this warlock means to me--

Seriously, the way we watch Arthur's whole world change from the very first second he comes into contact with Merlin is so. damn. cute.

There's no doubt why Arthur let him get away with outright "disrespectful" and borderline treasonous comments and behaviour the first time they met.

I mean, look at the way he instantly lit up at the concept of verbal and physical sparring with this elfin looking dude with the real "couldn't give a sh*t- try me" attitude. Someone who not only took on a knight of Camelot in mid training, but didn't change his attitude one little bit when he found out he was addressing the goddamn prince of Camelot, in fact he doubled down and got worse.

And Arthur loved the challenge, loved the defiance, loved the concept of spending more time with this guy, especially time spent doing something he loves - sparring. There's nothing Arthur loves more than a physical activity - we see it throughout all five seasons. Search the whole castle on a wild goose chase? Absolutely. Train 15 new knights in a single day? Sign him up. Ride out to battle a magical beast? He's already out the door.

And even though he knows (thinks) he can beat Merlin into submission in two moves, he's finally going up against someone who doesn't give a flying f*ck who he is and will square up to him and give his absolute best. And he hopes this will be a regular occurrence.

And the dismay when Uther declares Merlin to be Arthur's new servant isn't because he doesn't want Merlin around - it's because he's afraid it will change the relationship they've already begun to establish. That Merlin won't develop into the one person he can trust to be real with him, and instead he will become reserved and "yes-sir-no-sir-three-bags-full-sir" like every. other. damn. person.

And you can't miss the way his eyes absolutely light up that first time Merlin does his servant duties and continues being defiant, honest, real.

I love these characters so damn much, and I couldn't love Colin and Bradley more for how incredible they are.
