king merlin after meeting lady guinevere and sir lancelot’s baby and falling in love: arthur. i want a baby.

king arthur, not looking up from his paperwork: …what?

merlin: give me a baby.

arthur, sighing: merlin, you studied to be a physician. i don’t think i have to be the one to tell you how impractical that is.

merlin, rolling his eyes: this is why i’m the brighter side of the coin

arthur, finally looking up: wha-

queen merlin using magic to transform her body: i. want. a. baby.

arthur:

arthur: *stands up from his desk so fast his chair topples over, multiple parchments flutter to the ground, his tunic is already off*

I love all the ideas of Court Sorcerer Merlin straight up running the kingdom. Whether it's the idea where Merlin and Arthur bet on Merlin 'taking over the kingdom' and him winning or alluding to the knights being more loyal to Merlin than to Arthur.

I want to put a spin on that.

There is the angsty idea of Arthur banishing Merlin for his magic and all of Camelot rising as one to either overthrow Arthur or rioting because they want Merlin back.

And there is the idea of it happening when Uther is alive. Where he finds out Merlin has magic and Merlin flees. And then all of Camelot has a simultaneous epiphany (if they hadn't had one already) that magic=good because Merlin=good. They work to overthrow Uther, and Arthur is the leader or silently helps out.

even if its a small part in the fic, if it has arthur wanting to get merlin gifts but merlin rejecting them because theyre too much so he gets merlin the nice stuff with threat of getting something even MORE expensive and extravagant to convince merlin to just start accepting nice things then i will read that fic

[random-bean-allie]

what exactly compels people to insult fics in PUBLIC bookmarks??

like sir, the writer is a random person who's writing for fun and has decided to share their creation with us so that hopefully some of us can have a few minutes of joy in our day!! that's amazing!

if you don't like it - just click out. it's not like they tricked you into giving them your firstborn, chill out and be respectful.

I think I'm actually addicted to reading fanfiction. In an unhealthy way. I have withdrawal from reading fanfiction, when I don't read it I get depressed and anxious. When something bad happens I pull out my phone to read fanfiction and it makes me feel better. I actively use it to avoid my own emotions. My phone died one time and I almost had a panic attack trying to get it to open again and calmed myself down by reading fanfic on my computer. I'm reading fanfic for like 6 hours a day average. In order to live my life I have to make the decision to stop reading fanfiction and live in the real world. I can't watch movies or shows hardly unless I'm reading fanfiction, I have to be reading on my phone and watching the show on another device. I forget to eat/sleep/go to the bathroom because of it. It hardly even gives me joy anymore but I need to keep reading it to function. Like I don't know how to live without it.... 💀💀

battle of camlann but merlin wasn’t ancient as shit. he blasts the warriors around arthur away and arthur turns to see a glowering, golden-eyed merlin. he tightens his grip on his sword but isn’t able to raise it. the inconceivable notion that merlin has betrayed him runs through his mind but he cant quite grasp it. his father is screaming in his head to kill the wretched sorcerer but all arthur can see is his friend wearing a face that looks too much like morgana’s. merlin glances up at arthur and the expression of rage fizzles into one tinged with fear and concern - all too confusing for him to unpack in the midst of battle. merlin is slow to approach his side and even then he keeps his distance. before either of them can say anything, mordred appears, sword in hand, glaring at arthur.

merlin tries to draw the former knights attention away from arthur, tries to goad him into fighting merlin instead, but mordred is deadset on fighting arthur. he calls morgana over instead and says emrys’s fight is with her while his is with arthur. with the extra seconds of back and forth, arthur isn’t as shocked when he raises his sword against mordred’s. morgana and merlin blast each other great distances until they’re far away from modred vs arthur and land on the front line between the two armies. both armies back off and watch the light show as morgana and emrys battle until morgana’s army uses the distraction to close in on camelot’s army.

three battles occurring at once until morgana gets a lucky hit in and merlin goes flying. he lands next to a gwaine who is currently bleeding out. he smiles when he sees who’s next to him “merlin!” which sounds so much like his greeting every time they ran into each other before gwaine became a knight. he reaches out and heals gwaine’s wound and leon just looks up at him for a moment before going “you’re always full of surprises, aren’t you merlin?” merlin grins and goes “i got one more” he stands up on surprisingly steady legs and calls on kilgharrah. in for a penny, out for a pound. arthur is already fuming at him, might as well rip the bandaid off right?

kilgharrah attacks morgana’s army while merlin orders aithusa to stand down. camelot’s army is able to march through the charred army and bring down those who remain, mordred is loosing but persevering through rage and spite alone, morgana is screaming (like she always is nowadays). merlin and morgana battle once more until mordred and morgana’s armies have fallen. merlin makes a tactical retreat to arthur who is still staring at him wearily (and definitely irate). he requests permission to kill morgana which is baffling but she is his sister and he’s always cared for her even after her betrayal so he supposes it makes sense. once he gives it, their fight doesn’t last longer than a minute. emrys was always stronger than her, he was just buying time.

camelot emerges victorious though they don’t seem all that excited about it. the other warriors cheer and clap each other on the back, but arthur is just watching merlin. the knights watch them uneasily. merlin returns arthur’s gaze. “is that the fucking dragon i killed?” merlin looks up at kilgharrah who is needlessly burning the remains of morgana’s army. merlin turns back to him “yes.”

I was thinking about merthur and shadowpeach, and my brainrots gave me thoughts about shadowpeach in merthur's positions. My first thought was macaque as merlin cause of the devotion to their king, and extreme loyalty. but Emrys is the absolute most powerful person in the universe, kind of like wukong.

But if wukong was in merlin position, no way he wouldnt blow his secret in a week and/or overthow urther (and either place himself as king or macaque)

see, here’s the thing: shadowpeach and merthur are on 2 opposite sides of the devotion spectrum despite both leading to each pairing’s destruction and doom

merthur is devotion in silence and secrets and devotion in sacrifice. both of those idiots have a habit of doing selfless and self-sacrificial acts out of devotion and loyalty. but it was choked by prophecies and generations of harm

shadowpeach is devotion in self-destruction and shared secrets and silent paths made together. they fought together without any needing to hide. their care was open and understood by others. but it was ruined by the hubris of one who wished to conquer the stars just to ensure his loved were protected. the devotion soured into a resentment of their past joys because they didn’t know how to stop themselves from reaching more than they should have

its just . harder and harder for my man to hide it

Sigh, I didn't want to make a polarizing poll but here we are.

I don't have a problem with them, as they aren't used maliciously, but as an endearment most of the time. Plus they are in character. But...

Because I just saw quite a nasty comment on an old fic by someone who clearly didn't like it. I see it quite often in fics, so idk...

I was shocked when I saw that much negativity because the fandom is often very chill. (ironic that someone would get mad at that small comment but not at fics that metaphorically turn Merlin into an actual shy girl flower just to fit the strong man/weak lil girl narrative BUT THAT IS ANOTHER DISCUSSION)

Also, you don't have to be a woman to vote, your feelings on this are always valid✌️
