#Arthur + chores

[merlin-knights]

Just for fun 😄

These are all things Merlin has done.

merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.

arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.

Chores <3

I think we all need to conjure the image of Merlin sitting on Arthur's lap whenever a princess/noblewomen comes along to woo Arthur. The mighty warrior, killer of bandit losers, sword twirly hand gesture guy, Crown Prince of Camelot just straight up panics and his natural reaction is to pull Merlin onto his lap and say he's gay for his manservant or throws Merlin over his shoulder and runs away, far away from the beautiful women.

My boi Merlin however wonders why Arthur doesn't just court someone already and stop trying to get him in trouble with Uther or his Uncle Gaius who keeps his fluffy caterpillar eyebrow in constant doom mode; Merlin is not in the mood to deal Arthur's romantic inability nonsense and people thinking he and Arthur are together when they're obviously not.

Seriously they're not together...they both protest loudly as Arthur holds a pantless manservant wearing a loose and very familiar red tunic whilst the prince himself is shirtless and the laces on his breeches are untied.

Definitely not fucking together.

What if the ball of light never left?

And what if the light was an extension of Merlin's emotions?

Now Arthur's just walking around Camelot with an annoying, chaotic ball of magic that no one can get rid of.

Uther's just snarling off to the side.

The worst part about playing rdr2 again is knowing who's going to die, how they're going to die, when they're going to die, and not be able to do a single thing about it

Arthur had no right to look so gorgeous in The Labyrinth of Gedref when in half of it he was being a prat.

I think I have a problem.

Canon is wrong.

When Gwen becomes queen, she doesn't forget she was a maidservant. Yes, she (difficultly) adapts herself to the aristocracy habits, but she doesn't distance herself from her friends of a life, the servants. Specifically, her and Merlin's friendship doesn't disappear out of the blue. When Merlin crushes into Sefa and makes her drop the tray (5×01), Gwen helps them pick the food up because she's friend with them. When Arthur, Merlin and her find time for their picnic dates (5×10 – no, Merlin isn't thirdwheeling and that's a group date), she helps Merlin settle the blanket on the ground because she doesn't want him to do all the work.

My canon is that queen Gwen is close to servants.

Anyway

More of my delusions

hm. I don't remember writing this note last night

but I do stand by it

[shinsou96]

Arthur just standing there minding his own business:

John running into him and not even trying to go around him: move

Arthur: no I was here first

John: Hosea Arthur won't move

Hosea: Arthur be nice to your little brother

merlin is used to making up excuses on the spot when cornered regarding anything from magic to treason to murder and like usually gets away with it although his pride is a little bruised or sometimes he’s dragged before the king and arthur is exasperated but says he’ll handle it and does so by ordering merlin to muck out the stables or whatever other meticulous or nasty chore as punishment. however, after spending four days straight fighting off assassination attempt after mythical beast after assassination attempt and then being scolded for spending days in the tavern, merlin gets caught lacking and two guards are looming over him with the weapons held threateningly while questioning him. for some fucking reason, merlin and his sleep deprived brain hand over the de bois family sigil and the guards back off like immediately. merlin takes advantage of this cheat code as much as possible. it gets to the point where he blatantly uses magic in front of everyone and then flashes the sigil to get away with it
