#merlin bby no

[multifandombullshitbabes]

ive been obsessed with the concept of merlin who actually runs away with freya because after she got injured he panicked and healed her right in front of arthur. so he panicked, again, and ran away with her to live next to the lake. and they do build their lil cottage and have a strawberry farm and some cows. and they also have time to explore their feelings.

and its the funniest thing, because merlin has also been slowly crushing on arthur, and that much is clear whenever he talks abt him to freya. it doesnt make her jealous or anything, just sad that she knows they'll probably never be together. that the only time that merlin and arthur do "interact" is when merlin secretly saves his ass every week or so. like merlin technically never left, but now he gets creative, uses glamours, learns shape shifting after helping freya with her own curse.

he gets to meet with morgana now, because freya urged him to not leave her alone in this mess, so now we don't get evil morgana (yay!). merlin also tentatively tries to do the same with mordred whenever they do meet with the druids, especially when they were figuring out freya's curse, and mordred grows on merlin, so we also dont get evil mordred (great bonus).

and another thing that ive also been obsessed with thinking is that when the great purge began, nimueh tried to sought out balinor since i think they were friends, being 2 magic users with special abilities (high priestess and dragonlord). and she ended up at ealdor just in time to see merlin be born.

and then they meet later on, and nimueh kinda doesnt believe that that's merlin from ealdor since hes in fucking camelot. but then the questing beast happened. and when merlin goes to kill her, she manages to shield herself last second. and feeling that great power that she felt when merlin was born, because he was almost glowing golden and so potent she almost dropped him when she held lil merlin, her brain fucking stopped. she cannot kill merlin. and so she does something that she almost did when she met hunith, and she understood in that little time why balinor had stayed with her, and nimueh decides to use the power she has for her immortality to ensure arthur lives. so now she will age like a normal human, gaius is alive, and so is arthur. and now merlin and nimueh are very awkward with each other.

especially when a bit of time later they end up meeting with the druids to help freya and theyre also helping nimueh. she felt as if her powers were weaker, but merlin was like "yh no ure lying u feel exactly the same" n leaves thinking nimueh is plotting. when in reality she actually did think her powers were dying and that fear made it seem as if it was actually happening. her mind played tricks on her, and she almost believed her magic was dying.

so after this lil nimueh interlude, lets go back to freya and merlin.

the funniest thing abt theyre situation is that. while merlin is obviously crushing on arthur (and brooding abt it cuz yknow), freya is just. "merlin, i think im crushing on gwen." "???? have u met her?" "no but ive seen her and she smells like a good person and also i like what i know abt her from you." "ok-" "also im crushing on morgana." "freya." "also elyan." "GWENS BROTHER????" "HES. PRETTY. YOU CANT TELL ME THAT NOT TRUE CUZ LAST TIME I CHECKED UR EYES ARE WORKING FINE."

i do think that when freya finally gets control over her curse and has her lil space with merlin, her true sunshine gremlin nature comes out and she manages to be more chaotic than merlin, just also more sweet. and dangerous. she can turn into a literal monster.

also. merlin and freya getting married. and having babies. twins. its been on my MIND non stop yall, this has never happened before idc abt kids-

incomplete list of stories that make me sob on the spot bc of how heart breaking devastating Shakespeare level tragic they are

-Merlin from BBC Merlin

Everyone Merlin lost? Everything he went through? They way no one knew and he basically did it alone? How did he feel after Arthur died? Morganas story? The entire fucking show- do i need to elaborate? 

-Regulus Black from Harry Potter/ATYD

He died trying to help the mauraders. Only Kreacher knew this? Sirius thinks Reg died working f o r Voldemort. Prolly both brothers died thinking the other hated them. 

[enchanted-blade]

morgana's race on the merlin wiki is just listed as witch??? hello?

humanity revoked for a little dark magic?? just a few curses here and there? god forbid women do anything

morgana: I'm going to destabilize the throne. So I will kill uther, arthur. then sully gwen using shade!lancelot, then harm sir gwaine, then have gaius tortured...

merlin: I FCKN HATE YOU

morgana: i just want to take over the government? what is it to you?? ur just a servant?? also you betrayed me first??

merlin: GRRR GRRR GRRRR

morgana: my personal beef isn't with you, bitch. i should have beef with you with the poisoning and hurting morgause and all but taking over the crown is priority. I still need to find Emrys too.

merlin: STOP HURTING ALL MY BEST FRIENDS!

morgana: what.

morgana: (checks notes)

morgana: IS THAT WHY YOU ARE EVERYWHERE??

morgana: your best friend is the government???

mordred: btw EMRYS is Merlin

morgana: oh for fuck's sake.

[nextstopparis]

me trying to defend merlin from my mom: but you cant even blame the poor guy because its not like he was LOOKING for trouble he just sort of accidentally…… i mean ……i guess its sort of his fault for snooping into things instead of just moving on bUT—

mom: EXACTLY see its all his fault

me: no wait

[batrachised]

to this day I can't decide how I feel about Morgana's story in Merlin, because WHY DID IT HAVE TO DO THAT I LOVED MORGANA WHYYY but also damn if she wasn't a great villain

Fate.

They all said it. Over and over. There was nothing he could do, fate would not be denied.

Arthur’s fate.

He pushed it away. Told himself over and over that one more lie uttered, one more opponent dead, one more compromise made, he’d be able to push everything away, even fate.

He should have known it was hopeless.

Fate came for Arthur on the battlefield, just as they said it would. His blood hit the ground like cannon shot, each drip exploding in Merlin’s ears until there was nothing else– no sounds of battle, no screams of dying men, not even the thudding of his own heart. Nothing existed but the percussive force of Arthur’s blood caving his head in... and the smile on Mordred’s face.

He broke.

It didn’t make any sound. He hit the ground, but that didn’t make any sound either. His body lay on its side in the mud, his eyes fixed on Arthur’s still form. His king breathed, but Merlin could see it now. The wheel, shimmering like water, turned slowly between Mordred and Arthur. It was crushing Mordred, snuffing out the flickering soul under its massive tread, but Merlin could see the light that was his king as it rose up and up, out of the irreparably damaged body, caught in the inexorable grip of death. Soon the prince would meet the same fate as his killer.

Mangled under the wheel of fate.

He was sure he’d never actually seen it before, but now that he had it was oddly familiar. Strange, to think how many people Merlin himself had pushed under that wheel. Anything, anyone to keep Arthur safe. How many people had he killed, and for what? Had it ever mattered? If this had always been Arthur’s fate, this death in the cold mud of a battlefield, then why had he needed to do so much, kill so much? What had those pieces of his soul bought? A few years? For what?

Fate.

No.

[queerbuckleys]

how dare they make me care so much about a character for one episode AND THEN KILL HIM

[sprnklersplashes]

rewatching the first episode of merlin and i stg merlin is the most character ever. 18 years old, shows up in the no magic on pain of death zone, watches a person get executed for using magic, then uses magic not two minutes later. gets into not one but two fights with the fucking prince in the span of like, two days. promised his new dad not to get into trouble then walked into town with the intention of starting shit. god, I love him.

Hey guys since we all decided that aithusa is Merlin daughter then does that mean Merlin's a dilf????

what would a fic called "he rode in on a horse" be like? (maybe it would end "he rode out on my dick" idk man by brain is fried these days but still!)

Ngl this stumped me for a while but, BUT

I'm thinking: wangxian, modern au, ranch hand!Wei Wuxian (think Francis from Malcolm in the Middle-like situation) and corporate executive!Lan Wangji, where lwj's company holds a team building retreat at wwx's ranch. I'm taking this very literally and obviously wwx rides in on a horse called Apple, who is very ornery and stubborn, and suddenly lwj is understanding the benefits of a company-wide retreat a little bit more.

Would be a lot of emphasis on building trust, communication skills, idk whatever else happens at team building exercises

Obviously there's a wwx shirtless scene where lwj's brain stops functioning for a solid five minutes as he just stares, slack-jawed, at wwx hefting bales of hay around the stables

I'm getting incredibly cheesy romance vibes here, there's definitely at least one cowboy/riding/saddle-up pun when they have sex

send me a title and I'll make up a fic
