#Merlin is DONE

[rainbowsmagicandshit]

Merlin Prompt/Idea:

Arthur calls a meeting of his inner round table (those that sat with him at the table of the ancient kings) except Merlin. He also tells everyone else not to tell Merlin. At this meeting they decide that Merlin will have a seat at the Royal Round Table.

Why is Merlin getting an official seat at the official and highly sought after Royal Round Table?

Because Arthur wants to marry him, of course!

This is step one to getting all the stuck up nobles to except Merlin as Arthur’s choice of spouse.

Does Merlin know that that’s Arthur’s intention with his appointment? No.

Does Merlin know that Arthur wants to marry him? No.

Does Merlin even know that Arthur has feelings for him? No.

Is Merlin increasing frustrated that he keeps getting excluded from half of the inner circle meetings despite gaining a seat at the official one? Yes.

Is Merlin going to give Arthur a piece of his mind once finds out that this entire roundabout thing was just a plot to get him as his husband? Undoubtedly.

Is Merlin going to be completely badass and show his capability as “queen” despite not knowing what’s going on? Absolutely.

What are the next steps?

Arthur: so, the council asked me to get married

Merlin: uhu

Arthur: can you believe it? They were so demanding too!

Merlin: *skipping page* of course they were

Arthur: They want me to marry like - a rich blond princess!!!!

Merlin: aren't all princesses in Albion rich and blond?

Arthur: not the point! Merlin, I can't get married to any of them!

Merlin: then don't.

Arthur: I'll disappoint the court

Merlin: let them be disappointed

Arthur: I feel like you're not taking this seriously

Merlin: My mistake. *Puts book down* revenge marry! A - I dunno - poor, black haired - what's the opposite of princess?

Arthur: *staring at Merlin dumbly* omg, you're right! You'd be perfect!!!

Merlin: ...

Merlin: excuse me, WHAT?!

All of the knights: Can you come collect your freak of a man please. He’s doing things.

Arthur: No I set him loose on purpose.

Post magic reveal Merlin who is tired of Arthur still underestimating him, using his magic to push said pratty prince into a wall and getting up in his face to demonstrate his point: I could take over your entire kingdom if I wanted without lifting a finger Arthur the besotted idiot who has been teasing Merlin to goad him into using his magic on him and is getting exactly the reaction he was hoping for: I know

[weirdnotal]

Merlin POV:

This is the crown prince, I'm his servant. He's a loveable dumb ass who I have to save all the time, but at least he's cute I guess. I don't like that I have to lie to him though

Arthur POV:

Uh, this is Merlin... I found in the trash, I can't believe my dad let me keep him, and he's not allowed around weapons cause he keeps accidentally being stabbed???? He also has absolutely no regard for his own life, so I protect him at all costs

Does anybody ever think about how the very last thing Arthur ever did was caress Merlin’s head and smile softly at him while his breath slipped away, never once looking away from him

@artistiquereader I don't know if you've seen the show but would love some Merlin & Arthur from Merlin ✨️ Happy Holidays!! ✨️✨️

OH I DO. Is it even christmas without Merlin??

[noodles-and-tea]

Your Arthur art of him thinking a TV is a magic mirror makes me think that he would have freaked tf out the first time he heard a phone ring.

"MERLIN! WHERE IS THAT ACCURSED NOISE COMING FROM!?" lmao

Old timey peoples reacting to modern tech is obvious, what I'm always more curious about is old timey people reacting to modern music for example, or a supermarket (this just in: medieval man faints in a Walmart)

I love Arthur and Merlin, I shall never get over them. Love <3 your art, it is most wonderful

Coming soon: Arthur in a grocery store

[abandoneddinosaur]

Merlin: I love you

Arthur: you shouldn’t

Merlin: but I do

Arthur: I love you too

Merlin: you shouldn’t

Arthur: but I do
