“i think that you are looking for an extraordinary kind of love, but i don’t think, for what it’s worth, that you want to be loved in an extraordinary way. i think what you want is to be loved plainly and quietly, without spectacle or anxiety.”

i was talking with someone earlier and i told her, "I love you and so I know you, I know you and so I love you" and i started to think about how merlin knows arthur the best.
he knows arthur's moods and arthur's smiles. he knows what arthur doesn't say, all the hidden words, all the misplaced phrases. he knows the "i want to see your smile, i dont want you to suffer, im worried" behind his "thats better". he knows his trust and where is given, he knows the truth behind the lies, he knows the person under the crown. he knows what makes arthur brave and what makes arthur courage, because they may be similar but are also different. he knows arthur's threats and arthur's flaws and arthur's failures, he knows arthur's abilities and arthur's potential and arthur's kindness. he knows arthur and he notices arthur and he sees arthur.
merlin knows arthur the most.
and he loves arthur the most.
merlin knows arthur and so he loves him. merlin loves arthur and so he knows him.

Never go to Ismere without:
- sleeves dramatic cloaks
- appropriate knitted goods
- 6'5 human snowplough of a boyfriend

(ID under the cut)
[ID: a digital drawing of Percival standing calf deep in snow carrying Elyan in a piggyback, both of them smiling widely. Percival is wearing chainmail, a woolly (on mobile it’s dark pink but on dashboard it’s more purple) scarf and a blue and pink/purple striped bobble hat. Elyan is looking over Percival's right shoulder with his arms wrapped around his chest, wearing chainmail, a woolly purple scarf and a turquoise/green and purple striped beanie. Elyan’s red cloak is wrapped around both him and Percival and is covered in snowflakes as are their hats and scarves. In the background are snow covered mountains and it is snowing heavily. End ID]
