*merlins magic gets exposed in front of the knights*

merlin, magic user: oh fuck

arthur, finally taking this opportunity to pretend as if he just found out merlin has magic after agonizing for the past month on how to bring it up: you have magic?

lancelot, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic: no! i have magic

gwaine, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic, lover of chaos, ride or die: no, i have magic!

mordred, desperate for his hero’s approval bc no matter what he’s done emrys just stares at him with distrust and the poor boy is tired and so close to tears: no…i have magic.

percival, raised by druids and bonded strongly with mordred over that and does Not agree with the persecution of magic in camelot, had an inkling that merlin had magic but no proof: no. i have magic.

*leon and elyan exchange a look, elyan, amused and leon, exhausted, elyan shrugs*

elyan, knows how much gwen adores merlin and completely understands her stance bc merlin…is merlin, down to clown and put on a show, really playing up the dramatics: no! i have magic.

leon, exhausted, has known of merlin’s magic since he stepped foot in camelot, knows of his feelings for arthur and arthur’s feelings for him, knows arthur knows of merlin’s magic and wouldn’t harm him, thinks everyone is being absolutely ridiculous:

*the knights stare hard at leon and even merlin looks slightly offended at leon not jumping to his defense with the rest of the knights, arthur hasn’t said anything and is staring at leon expectantly*

leon, sighing: …no. i have magic.

Merlin often has to order stuff for Arthur at the market or open and pay the tab at the tavern...

Of course, that's his job. As it used to be the Job of the manservants before him. But of course, with all the manservants shifting so much, the sellers wrote down their names and who they were coming for, so they'd know which manservant had to pick up what item.

It was usually marked down as Pendragon - Morris, Pendragon - George, Pendragon- Colin etc . Naturally, with Merlin, it became Pendragon - Merlin.

Once it became clear that Merlin was going to stay, people got more slack with the names. It turned to: Pendragon Merlin, Prince Merlin (as Merlin usually bought for Arthur and not the King), later it turned to King Merlin. Some only wrote him down as Merlin, but most thought it was quite funny.

After a while, Merlin found out and joined the fun. He starts signing stuff as King Merlin, or Merlin Pendragon.

It takes a while, but one day, royal guests hear about it and are shocked that Arthur was married to his manservant.

Then, finally, Arthur hears about it. As allegations that he's secretely married to Merlin...

And the worst part is, everything Merlin signed with King Merlin or Merlin Pendragon has been taken seriously so far. Those were legitimate signatures! And they count nearly everyhwhere! At the market, at the tavern, even during mail exchange and when people hand Merlin the laws that Arthur is meant to sign.

The entire Kingdom knows Merlin under those names. So much, that most of them started believing it true.

So, when Arthur tries to clear things up, his people think he's going through a divorce. Secretly, Arthur is pining through it all while Merlin can't contain his laughter.

im crying these gifs fr emulate my merthur fic I Love Them

[adageyer]

Modern Au where they reunite but Arthur is a prick.

Inspired by a text-post somewhere here on tumblr, mention me if you find it!

[that-nerd-who-writes-fanfiction]

During the happy time between season 4 and 5:

Lancelot: What the hell is wrong with you?

Gwaine: I have this weird self-esteem issue where I hate myself but still think I’m better than everyone else. You?

Lancelot: …

Lancelot: The opposite, actually. I don’t hate myself but I constantly feel inadequate that I can’t live up to an unsustainable standard I set for myself.

Gwaine: Did Merlin find and fix you?

Lancelot: Yes. I woke up in his bed, healed from an injury I sustained while helping him out of a dangerous situation. Then we committed crimes together before I was banished from Camelot.

Gwaine: Me too!

Lancelot: Did he later find you while on a quest with Arthur while you were still banished?

Gwaine: Yeah, we went to the perilous lands. What was your quest?

Lancelot: We escaped slavers.

Gwaine: Cool. Then you came when he asked for help?

Lancelot: I’ll always be there whenever Merlin needs me.

Gwaine: Lancelot, I think we’re going to get along great.

[multifandom-aroace]

He has known this man for like a week he's already offering to drink poison for him

There is no heterosexual explanation for this entire fucking show

[chiefblossom]

no cause I get merlin I so would risk my life for this man while constantly berating him

he's hot but in a cocky way like he KNOWS it

[amariram]

Just the Knights of The Round Table disappointed cause it’s been ten years and they’re still waiting for Arthur and Merlin to stop acting like idiots and just kiss

Read the ff here

[justaz]

au where merlin doesn’t know balinor is his father and he and arthur are chilling in his cave and balinor mentions hunith and merlin Locks In as he subtly questions the random man and boom arthur and merlin are aware that the last dragonlord is his father.

So merlin is trending, huh? Here are 5 fics you should read about those immortal idiots

1. and it will set you free series by @andiwriteordie. Arguably my favourite fix-it from so, so long. The way the author introspected about their entire lifetime was unbelievably powerful. And the way they gave Arthur agency to have had a say in the whole "destiny" debacle from the very beginning.. oh my. So creative and so incredibly loving. Honestly, all of this author's works are works of art and it's a crime against the fandom how very underrated they are.

2. Smile and Pretend by Fulgance. Yes fine I know I can't keep on recommending this author's Beauty in the Ashes of Our Lives every time I get the chance. But really, this one was just as amazing. My soft heart flutters for any and all Arthur-Finds-Out fics. Especially those where he lets Merlin come to him with it instead. aaaah. This fic is definitely one of the top tiers of the category.

3. To you I swear my solemn oaths by @regulusrules. Again, yes I know I should stop flouncing around My heart is readily yours every time I get the chance. It's my hyperfixation on fics that hyperfixate over Arthur, forgive me. TYISMSO was my first ever fic in the fandom, and I always look back at it with pride of how much faith I tried to breathe between them. They were in love, your honour. God I love those two idiots so much.

4. Fathom Me Out by @supercalvin. I don't know about you, but to me this is a requirement for our fandom. If you haven't read this fic, you haven't read anything. It is absolute brilliance— in writing, in the plot, in their characterization.. absolutely everything.

5. Still I Surface in Morning Light by @queerofthedagger. Scar reveal, but make it so good that you never stop thinking about it. I can hands-down say it's one of the best scar reveal fics I've read in this fandom. It's so intricately written and their conversations are otherworldly. The despair and love you see here.. a masterpiece.

1.11 — The Labyrinth of Gedref

[akelafang]

Merlin and Arthur raising Aithusa together with Hunith as a doting grandmother but Aithusa grows at a much slower pace than in the show so she's holding full conversations but she's like the size of a large cat or a small dog

Aithusa: I'm never gonna go through puberty Hunith: Of course you will, baby but we're a family of late bloomers. I didn't until I was 14, nor did Merlin Aithusa: Why does that matter? I'm adopted Arthur: WHAT?! Oh my god! Who told you?!
