#the adventures of merlin

[coppernine9]

I have this idea for a Merlin fanfic which would be based on a Cinderella fairytale aka (Cinderella boy) were Merlin would have to turn into lady+dress up for some kind of Camelot's equivalent of a ball to prevent Arthur getting poisoned by some other evil lady (possibly a soceress/witch). I won't go into detail on how the poisoning would be done, I have a idea but It still needs improvement. Anyway Merlin leaves Arthur in a rush and never shows up again (might loose a shoe).

Arthur is totally head over heals for the girl and gets fixited on finding her, disregards his duties and asks everyone around about the lady. He's first totally frustrated and unfocused on anything else that her. Then when he looses hope in meeting her again he goes into a "grief stage" he's heartbroken and miserable and Merlin starts feeling kinda bad about it, tries to comfort him but Arthur only dismisses his efforts. He even starts to secretly writing poetry about it and Arthur is definitely not the kind of guy who writes poetry.

I have an idea for how he "discovers" it was Merlin. More so he finds out that Merlin has something to do with it and confronts him in a way that he is forced to confess it was him.

I had the idea of Arthur finding a necklace in his servant's room that she was wearing before...

Also it would be funny to have Arthur comparing, in his head, the lady to Merlin because he notices that they look similar and when he gives up on finding her he ask Merlin if he has a secret royal sister or other relative and he just burst out laughing his ass off at the idea itself and Arthur gets irritated that he isn't taking it seriously.

I want Arthur to be totally pissed and devastated after finding out

1) Merlin has magic.

2)The lady he fell for "doesn't exist" and it's just Merlin-what does it change?

3) Merlin was all this time pretending and lying about both of those things.

4) Arthur is more angry at him for playing with his heart and making him fell awful for weeks that the magic thing itself.

And then... There would be a lot of tension and drama.

I can't really do it now because I have to focus on making my portfolio + I never written any kind of story ever so it would probably be full of errors. + english is not my native language

But

Damnnn I love this idea and I have to write it at some point.

the concept of merlin not realizing his feelings for arthur until arthur dies and arthur having known all along but deeply repressed it has always intrigued me because it's not what you'd expect. you would think merlin would be the more self aware of the two but nah...

Camelot noble: Your majesty, your manservant is a threat to -

Arthur: Merlin?? A threat?? Of course not. Look at him, he's adorable.

Merlin, standing behind Arthur, covered in blood, holding a knife, having just killed his 7th assassin of the week (it's Monday): Yeah, I'm adorable.

Can you guys believe that some of the most influential early screenwriters and directors had to sneak queer subtext into popular media for so long that it seeped into straight screenwriters’ subconscious baseline for writing compelling characters and plot, thus, accidentally creating the the gayest non-gay television show to ever exist and that show is called BBC Merlin

Arthur: Okay, so you're my servant now. It's not really that important of a position, just like, idk, make sure you bring me my breakfast on time

Merlin: I would die for you, I would kill for you, I'd give up my humanity and become a living weapon for you, I would sit by your grave for over a millennium, awaiting your return-

Arthur: but would you bring me breakfast on time?

Merlin: Well that's asking a bit much, don't you think?

After the magic reveal, Arthur sees the scars Merlin's acquired throughout the years

Arthur: Who hurt you?

Merlin, joking: Want a list?
