I’m sorry but let’s just take a moment to appreciate HIM

Merlin: if you ever see me with the crown prince of the kingdom that kills magic users for sport, mind your business, I'm trying to get our rights back

[whydon-twego]

That makes two of us

[whydon-twego]

sometimes I think about Lancelot saying to Merlin "you're the bravest of us all and he doesn't even know". and then about Arthur saying to Merlin "I always thought you were the bravest man I ever met". so then I think about the fact that Arthur didn't even need to know about Merlin's magic to know how brave he is. and i cry a little.

[whydon-twego]

"Are you okay" NO. THERE ARE LITTLE FICTIONAL BITCHES IN MY HEAD. AND THEY'RE KISSING.

I love the way that Uther specifically tells Arthur that he needs to go ALONE and Arthur immediately just agrees then takes Merlin with him.

Uther: You must go alone

Arthur: Yes, of course father

*back at his chambers*

Arthur: MERLIN! PACK YOUR THINGS WERE GOING ON A QUEST!

*them galloping into the sunset together ❤️*

Merlin watches Arthur from afar.

Despite the fact that the two are always close, despite the fact that they spend most of their time together, despite the fact that even the time when they cannot be together they are always in each other's proximity, Merlin watches Arthur from afar.

He watches him as he smiles at the maids indulgently, watches him as Arthur's gaze lingers on a woman more than necessary, watches him as he laughs at nonsense just to please a noblewoman.

Merlin watches him from afar because he knows perfectly well that if he did it up close Arthur would understand everything and everything would be ruined.

And Merlin sometimes can't sleep at night just thinking about it because Arthur is everything to him. Despite being an insufferable, spoilt prat, Arthur is his other half. He is the one who can turn his day around with a simple smile or a raise of an eyebrow, making a joke or hitting him on the shoulder.

Merlin did not think he could feel so strongly about another person.



Merlin did not know that such a strong feeling towards another person could exist.

And Merlin will not lose Arthur, he will have to watch Arthur court all the women of Albion and then eventually marry. Merlin will be at his side because the very idea of not having him near devastates him.

Merlin will watch him from afar. ***

Arthur watches Merlin from afar.

Despite the fact that Merlin is always by his side, despite the fact that Merlin whispers in his ear during boring encounters with delegations from outside and Arthur has to restrain himself from laughing, despite the fact that Arthur can reach out a hand and be sure that Merlin will be there to catch it, Arthur watches Merlin from afar.

Because he knows perfectly well that if he did it up close Merlin would understand everything. And Arthur cannot risk that.

Because his father is still on the throne.

Because Merlin does not deserve a secret affair.

Because Arthur can do nothing but wait until he is king to give Merlin what he deserves.

And if, in the meantime, Merlin has found someone else, if Merlin has found someone who can openly appreciate him for the wonderful person he is, if he finds someone who loves him even half as much as Arthur loves him, Arthur will be happy for him and will be at his side.

Because Arthur loves Merlin more than it would be healthy to do, because Arthur loves Merlin and Merlin deserves more than shady encounters in dark corners. Merlin deserves to be carried in the palm of his hand and to sit at his right hand for the rest of his life.

Merlin deserves the world.

And Arthur will watch him from afar until he can give it to him.

Arthur: Of course I'm not in love with Merlin, that's ridiculous.

Morgana: You doodled your wedding invitations.

Arthur: No, that's our joint headstone.

Morgana: Oh, my mistake.

"You don't have to sacrifice yourself," he says, and his eyes beg his King to hear the silent pleas let me take your place, arthur, please, because you are my destiny and camelot isn't my home without you and i was born to serve you, arthur, until the day i die and please let me save you one last time

Merlin: Well what do you normally do when I’m not here?

Arthur: Wait for you to get back.

[whydon-twego]

Arthur, walks in and falls face first onto the bed: Merlin made me feel things.

Morgana, too used to his bullshit: What things?

Arthur: Feelings.

Morgana: Merlin made you feel feelings?

Arthur: Yeah.

Morgana: Again?

Arthur: Yeah.

Morgana: How dare he.
