little girl, a patient: can I have a lollipop

doctor merlin in the 21st century: can you have— I have created butterflies from nothing and horses from smoke. I have seen empires rise, fall, crumble, and start from nothing but a fish in a poor man’s hand. I’ve fought witches and failed them too. I’ve laid waste to armies and blessed nations of people with health that will never make up for it. I have pantsed Kings and kissed Queens. I have stood upon the precipice of this world and called forth the ocean only for time to swallow me whole and spit me back out. And I would do it all again if I could grant you, dear Matilda, a lollipop.

little girl: strawberry?

merlin: say no more, Tilda, this should clear up the taste of that cold medicine right away

#bbc merlin #Merlin #merlin emrys #listen.#Merlin being a doctor on and off throughout the entire time he’s had to live meand a LOT to me #especially if he were a GP (general practitioner) in the 20th/21st centuries #like a local doctor of a small town or village #(it’s actually what he is in my farm au)#nebulously this is part of #the sun room #‘verse #I just think he’d have the best time being the eccentric fun doctor to kids #distracting them with wild tales that are very true (though only he knows this)#the parents - and other patients - think he’s a little crazy in an endearing way #that or he must have once wanted to perform theatre or musicals right???#merlin like yeah ok that’s more believable than the lie I was going to fail at #works for me #merlin headcanons #merlin au
