"You're the greatest sorcerer that will ever walk the Earth"

Merlin: *uses magic to steal Arthur's sausages from his plate*

[count-pudding]

Arthur having a middle age crisis, and Merlin is just Merlin

I had a vision

[nerdyfangirlingbooks]

"I can't stand by and watch him die" "Then don't look" is too raw a line to come from bbc merlin

[onceandfuturelesbian]

golden age era arthur makes an off-hand remark wishing his younger self could see how far he’s come

cue merlin’s magic subconsciously reaching back ten years and yeeting crown prince arthur (or maybe regent arthur) into their time, where he meets king arthur who’s married to his manservant-turned-court-warlock (since when did merlin have magic ????) and magic is not only legal but respected and admired. where morgana had become evil but was now a princess (????) and gwen was her wife (???!!!!!)

prince arthur, in shock: you married HIM?!!

merlin, indignant: oi! *looks to king arthur for back-up*

king arthur, arms crossed & shrugging: yeah idk what to tell u man

basically i’m a slut for time travel fics and want more

Arthur and Leon, watching Lance flirt with Merlin:……

Leon: You’re awfully quiet, Sire.

Arthur, sharpening his sword: Nobody plans a murder out loud.

Morgause: surprisingly me

Arthur:....... WHAT THE FU___

Bbc Merlin episode 7:

Completely normal about Merlin running through the forest after being zapped by lightning and getting a concussion, OBLITERATING two people, then fucking diving into the lake to pull out heavy armored Arthur.

Completely normal, yes.

Merlin can and would fight a god for Arthur

Randomer: ah well… uhhh

Randomer: about that… technically uhm theres emrys

Morgana: emrys?

Randomer: yeah, hes like the most powerful warlock on earth

Morgana: ok but im a high priestess so surely I outrank him no?

Randomer: *sucks breath between teeth* ahh well, uhm… no. He’s considered a god. King of druids. Most powerful being to walk this earth. He himself is magic. He-

Morgana: ok ok I get it. So what? This old guys gonna maybe try stop me? Surely I can take on an old man.

Randomer: hes 25.

Morgana: 25?!? Ok well the worlds big, he could be anywhere… right?

Randomer: wellll

Morgana: hes on this land isnt he?

Randomer: hes within the walls of Camelot actually.

Morgana: fucking- fine fine ok so I need to defeat this 25 year old, if you know him you can take me to him right? If he has magic and hes in Camelot surely hes hidden?

Randomer: god no. First of all hes one of the most known people in the kingdom, adored by all really even the nobles. I cant take you though, Id hate to cross him *shivers* ive heard horrors of when hes mad. Great guy though, once gave me an apple.

Merlin in emerald green is underrated. Everyone always draws him in strictly blue and red, which don’t get me wrong, are definitely his colors. But imagine those gold eyes, against a dark green velvet. Imagine the stark black hair against a soft green grass. Imagine the pale skin and blue eyes in the deepest and richest color the earth can be. Imagine.. just imagine.

You know what I really love that should be explored in even more Merlin fanfics?

Immortal Leon. Like, you've just got Merlin over there sulking about while he waits for Arthur to return. Then there's just Leon, living his best immortal life, doing the most randomest shit known to mankind

[bisclavret]

you're telling me bbc merlin has an episode called The Secret Sharer where everything revolves around a bunch of characters digging around for merlin's secret identity and gwaine is there for no reason other than to beg merlin to trust him again and proves himself worthy of that trust by turning his back on his knightly duties and doing everything to help merlin even though they might be saving a traitor for all gwaine knows and then merlin literally does magic in front of him and they even kinda acknowledge it by shrugging at each other and this still doesn't count as a magic reveal and they all just go back to their stupid little ignorant lives in camelot after that. do i have that right? ok. so first of all this show is a cheap farce but we knew that. second of all. Gwaine Knows. obviously

An immortal Merlin headcanon I have: Merlin doesn't give a shit about his safety. Yes, he's distrustful and anxious around people (because can you IMAGINE the amount of trauma and PTSD this man got from people after 1500 years of being alive? Also I hc him being socially awkward after so long 🫶), but after living his entire life unable to die no matter how much he wants to and after escaping so many close calls just because he's immortal, he just doesn't give a fuck. Imagine Arthur coming back and Merlin stressing over every time they go outside why he shouldn't cross the road without looking both ways first or why he shouldn't leave his side, just for Merlin to walk into oncoming traffic right after. Arthur literally has to pull him back by the scarf like a cat and say his classic "Merlin, are you an idiot?!"
