For years, Arthur has had a secret affair with his magic advisor Emrys. In truth, he's never seen his face, but that bod-.

The problem is that Arthur's had a crush on Merlin, his manservant, for even longer. The one he has on Emrys had developed slowly and steadily.

Merlin is his best friend. Arthur couldn't bear losing him to his feelings.

Emrys, he knows feels the same. But Arthur barely knows him.

It's becoming harder and harder for Arthur to make a decision.

Here's a quick au idea that just came to me today:

In a modern au where Merlin is still waiting on Arthur, historians recently discovered a whole batch of legal documents from Arthur's reign. These documents detail many changes he made to the laws of Camelot, including the repeal of the magic ban (which the historians assumed was just a halt on witch hunts).

However, one thing that the historians note as strange were the large number of laws that only applied to the king's personal manservant, who was never mentioned by name in the documents. These laws range from oddly specific, such as 'the king's manservant shall not accompany knights to the tavern', to downright bizarre decrees that make no sense, like 'the king's manservant is hereby forbidden from pointing out stew in the king's hair.'

The historians' first guess was that perhaps King Arthur was going a bit mad in his later years, but they didn't find any other ludicrous laws besides the ones pertaining to his manservant, which then led the historians to question the identity of this manservant and his relationship to the king.

All of this culminates in a historical exhibit showcasing the documents and postulating on this mysterious manservant of king Arthur. Many scholars flock to the exhibit, eager to examine the documents and debate their meaning and impact within a historical context.

Which then leads to a very tired Dr. Merlin Emrys, a medieval history professor, being dragged by his colleagues to see the exhibit and having to stifle is laughter as these world-renowned scholars tear their hair out trying to understand what was essentially a prank war between him and Arthur.

Arthur & Merlin | 3.12 "The Coming of Arthur - Part 1"

[not-mary-sue]

Arthur here's "Lord" and "passed down" and his literal first though "Ah ha, a loophole!"

Arthur: So you have magic?

Merlin: Uh… yeah?

Arthur: for how long?

Merlin: Since birth.

Arthur: And you’re a dragon lord?

Merlin: Yeah my father was and it gets passed down.

Arthur: Sounds like royalty.

Merlin: No? I don’t think so.

Arthur: Yes it is, that means you’re a noble, a lord. We can get married now.

Merlin: WHAT???

Canon ships are great, random pairings are super, but nothing can ever match the high of the writers trying to gaslight you into thinking a pairing isn't romantic.

Nothing beats the feeling of them dangling the pair's 75th prolonged eye contact in front of you like a carrot on a stick just to pull it back and say, "See how they're perfect for each other in every way? Well, they're actually NOT together! In fact, you may even call them siblings."

And then you're banging your hands against the table like a toddler having a tantrum and yelling, "But they ARE! They ARE together!" And then they drag you away kicking and screaming.
