#I love merlin

[springs-hurts]

Why do you want to hate Merlin? R

O baba no!! Rationally speaking,i legit love Merlin, have always loved him.

These days, it's just me being irrational and Merlin is main character and I've seen so many bad Arthur takes that I'm kinda fed up. Also cause of my own insecurities, but I promise that's just me being insane.

Whenever I'm able to think like a sane human, I love merlin, he's such a complex, lovable character that you can't not. But I'm in a bad space these days and well, you always need an outlet, Merlin is that kinda outlet for me. Even though I love him...think after sometimes I'd start loving him again, just like I used to do.

Merlin the cambion Merlin the son of a devil baptised at birth. Merlin who reflects on this and smiles and says 'Ah, this is why I don't feel, see?' but takes a little girl whose birth he caused and toys with her fate-knowing he must but warns her anyway even though he knows the result. But she has to know she has to be given a chance. But she regrets it in the end and he locks himself into the tower, trapping himself though he knew it was a trap. Go see beautiful things, he says. I have seen more than enough. His heart hurts. He wants a happy ending for her. If so, then--

But it's impossible and he mourns that but the impossible is sometimes possible and so she is saved, and he shouts for joy. Only the sinless may pass, and the sinful do so knowing sin exists. The sinful are human.

He passed into that prison knowing his sin, laughing because it hurt, and guiltily imprisoning himself in what was meant to be a punishment 'as though that was the fate of a man who meddled with the fate of a single girl'--

And man he is! Mortal and human and cambion. He feels. He does! And when he witnesses another dream, someone else who makes themselves inhuman and sets themselves up high so they can save all--

Not again.

But what can an observer do but support from the sidelines? Having meddled in one's fate already, he does what he does best. Little things to push everyone along to a happy ending.

Everyone.

(I am not a person, not human, remember that.)

Just recently rewatched LOTR and I got to the part where Aragorn sang Elendil's Oath at his coronation and so (bc im very insane about merthur) I thought about king!Merlin's coronation either as Arthur's King Consort or his own kingdom.

Headcanon that Merlin has a tougher time grasping the intricacies of healing spells but because he is Emrys and, well, he is magic itself, his voice has the ability to cleanse and purify dark magic or curses. So, during his coronation, he would sing a short ballad and it not only commemorates the day magic will finally return and flourish, but it cleanses the kingdom of the curses and negative energy that had accumulated during Uther's tyranny. It was Arthur's first time ever hearing him sing and even he fell into reverent silence with his people, in awe as Merlin's magic seeps into the entire kingdom and falls around the people like a gentle caress; a promise of protection. The Golden Age of Albion had begun.

A work in progress...

headcanon that merlin’s body glows when he uses strong magic. additionally could be when he feels emotions really strongly because he is sooo emotional and i think the magic would mirror him in its own ways

To love a fictional character so much that you're ready to put all your values aside for him, to justify him, to defend him, his actions...damn what happened to you girl!

[kosmic-autokrat]

Him.

[magicourageandstrength]

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

[maddybthorne]

I want a BBC Merlin fanfic where Hunith visits Camelot as a surprise. Merlin doesn't know she's coming, only Gaius knows that she plans to visit. This is set in a time period where all the knights are alive (I'm looking at you Lancelot.) and Arthur is Prince, but running the Kingdom as Uther is unwell.

Hunith pulls up to Camelot and is walking towards the Castle through the citadel, burdened by her bags, when a cheerful voice rings out. "Do you need any help, miss?" It's one of the many Castle servants.

Hunith explains that she is heading to the Castle to visit her son who works there, the servant then offers to carry her bags.

"Oh I don't want to be a bother." Hunith replies

"It's no bother at all! Really, I was heading that way already." The servant insists and they both make their way to the castle, "What's your son's name by the way, I might know him if he works here."

"His name is Merlin." Hunith responds with a smile. The servant stops walking and looks at her. It's not only him that stops at this announcement.

"Y-you're Merlin's Mother?!?" A nearby servant who had been close enough to hear the conversation says in awe.

The courtyard that they're walking through gradually fills with hushed whispers as the news spreads. Everyone knows of Merlin. The Prince's manservant who had managed to not quit in the first week of serving him. Merlin, who changed the Prince from a spoiled brat into a good man whom the Kingdom was proud of and eagerly awaited the day he would be crowned King. Merlin, who had followed the Prince into battle time and time again to save Camelot.

I want a fanfiction where The Entire Of Camelot loves Merlin and is thankful for his role in making Arthur a good person. Where not only the Knights, but the Castle staff meet his mother and collectively decide that she is That Woman and treat her with Respect. Where they treat her like Royalty.

Ofc Gwaine loves her. That's his best friend's mom. Hunith looks at all the knights and adopts them on the Spot.

And Merlin is either really confused by this behavior or knows and just lets it happen.

Arthur has no idea what's going on or why but he treats her with reverence and love because that's his future Mother in Law and he's very much starved for parental affection which she gives him (and the knights) in spades.

But yes, I just want a fic of people meeting Hunith and being like "Thank you for giving birth to your son. I'd die for you both" and her being like "...please don't."

(Bonus if Leon meets her and is just like. "How did you survive being around that little shit (Merlin) for so long?" And she just laughs and gives him advice, which makes him cry because he's just so tired. #LetLeonRest2024 I will push this agenda till I die)
