#Just like arthur did

Line without a hook by Ricky Montgomery is Merthur.

Merlin on the lake shore, speaking to the lake, day after day, century after century, as if it were Arthur, confessing everything he had done, everything he feels, everything he regrets. But most of all, everything he loved.

Oh, how he loved Arthur, and continued to even after death.

And there Arthur is, unseen, even by Merlin. A ghost trapped to watch his best friend endlessly grieve, a ghost tormented by what could have been, a ghost begging for Merlin to hear him say that he isn't alone in any of it.

In immortality. In fear. In loss. And in love.

Line without a hook is Arthur begging Merlin to hear him say "I love you." "I'm sorry." "You aren't alone." "I've already forgiven you." "Please see me, please hear me, please feel me."

Line without a hook is Merlin grappling with loss and guilt, sitting in the damp sand, watching a lake that doesn't move, waiting for a time that could possibly never come..

"Saw a deer today, it stopped right in front of me.

Maybe it was a trick of the light or the way it moved,

But for a moment, I swear it was you.

I won't say I miss you, I've said that too many times,

But you're still my brother.

My brother under the same endless sky."

I love the idea of merlin being like a crow and constantly looking for shiny things, and eventually, he starts giving some of his stuff to Arthur, and Arthur is just so fucking confused on why his servant keep handing him shiny rocks with the biggest stupidest grin.

Merlin *on four hrs of sleep for the past week, dirty from a fight, definitely has a concussion and at least two untreated injuries, one of which he’s bleeding out from, leans over on someone’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!

Arthur *still blushing from Merlin leaning on him and is now very confused w his emotions*: YOU HAVE MAGIC?!

Merlin: oh… sorry.

Merlin *moves to Lancelot’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!

Arthur: I can still hear you!! You’re right next to me and you’re yelling!!

The knights:… you didn’t know??

everybody has fics or headcannons that Bruce's speach was influenced by how he's such a dad, or batman, or a serving cunt but like what about how his speech Is influenced by how he talks normally as "Brucie wayne" to people?

I imagine he's got that posh accent when he's speaking when he's acting as Brucie Wayne and says 'darling' at the end of his sentences and it became a habit when he's not in the cowl

This is also partly because justice league's ears almost fall off when batman is scolding them( wearing a domino, cowl was damaged on mission,no voice modulation) because why does batman have a Italian-posh accent and who just called Superman darling.

when merlin asks arthur for things, the king is usually inclined to give him what he wants but it is not always guaranteed such as when his emotions cloud his judgement. but merlin’s surefire way of getting arthur to give in? he steps into his space, lays a gentle hand on his arm, and says “arthur, please” and he folds like a house of cards.

Wait a damn minute Merlin is an actual nightmare of a servant. Imagine you're the Prince and all of a sudden and only two seconds after surviving an assassination attempt you're stuck with this scrawny, clumsy fucking dude with a really shifty air about him who spends literal days in the tavern with zero notice, steals your food, tried to spy on a guest, doesn't let you hunt, can never fucking be found when you need him even though he is the literal manservant to the prince, which you would think should be a priority but apparently he has better things to do, and is always talking like he's the only thing standing between you and certain death???? Then he gives you attitude? Literally I would throw things at him too. Arthur is misunderstood he's actually being too nice

[tristansfreezingtheirbrain]

Arthur: What are you talking about?! You’re the most important person in my life!!! I love you more than anything- I’d marry you if I could!

Merlin: why don’t you?

Arthur: BECAUSE EVERY TIME I ASK YOU, YOU CALL ME AN IDIOT!!!

Merlin: That’s because it’s a stupid idea.

Arthur: SEE!!!

[muchmossymess]

Merlin: uh oh looks like I can't manipulate mansplain manservant my way out of this one

Merlin: manslaughter it is

Arthur: meRLIN NO!

Arthur: ok bestie ❤️

John:

I find the way that BBC Merlin set up Merlin's powers in the first episode to be quite funny. I mean, we see this sort of lanky guy and it is established that he is Merlin and (according to our own common knowledge) therefore he is the most powerful warlock ever. Okay, cool. One might assume that he has come to Gaius to develop his powers, that maybe he's only in the beginning of his magical journey. But instead the exposition shows Merlin, in the pilot episode of this 5 series show, stop time and employ levitation to save someone's life with magic, and then it is announced that prince Arthur is essentially his soulmate, and their joint power will create the most glorious age Camelot has ever seen. Quite an exciting set-up. And then for the rest of the entire show this man who we know possesses TIME-ALTERING POWERS mostly uses them on-screen to do common chores and annoy and prank THAT SAME Arthur. Like that one post said, "All of it's destiny and all of it's his fault." :p

rdr fan culture is playing the game, looking at so many posts, and reading so much fanfiction that arthur’s dialect unironically starts slipping into your every day vernacular
