Watching Merlin Season 4 The Wicked Day

Me: NO! THAT'S NOT HOW I WANTED HIM TO DIE! NO NO NONONONO NO! THAT IS NOT HOW I WANTED HIM TO- NO

[runboybeneaththemoon]

Arthur: to discuss the legalisation of magic I have invited every powerful sorcerer that I know of to a meeting

Arthur: Merlin, send invitations to Dragoon, the Dolma, Emrys and, if you can track him down, the last dragonlord

Edit: for everyone asking for a fic, the lovely @myfairkatiecat wrote one, just look in the replies or reblogs or go to their blog

Consort Merlin who doesn't fully retire his Dragoon alias after the magic reveal. He claims Dragoon is his crazy old uncle or something who pops in for visits. He tells off noblemen and the council, makes fun of everyone he doesn't like, causes chaos then leaves. Now instead of using Dragoon as a way to perform magic without getting caught, he uses it as a way to speak his mind without his opinions reflecting on Arthur.

Arthur knows and is exasperated but enjoys watching his husband have fun and let loose while disguised as an old man.

With the amount of time they spend eyefucking you'd certainly hope that they could recognise each other's eyes

Plus in the next scene he uses the same kinds of insults merlin normally uses,abd you can kind of see Arthur figuring it out

Literally as I'm typing this I'm realising maybe Arthur figured out that it was merlin but didn't want to say anything in case he got caught

Imagine if Arthur recognized Merlin's mannerisms in the Dolma and Dragoon as Merlin mannerism and had to tell Merlin that Arthur put his grandparents on the Camelot's Most Wanted Sorcerer's list, imagine him telling Merlin that his grandfather is wanted for killing the king as well.

And poor Merlin, whose grandparents on both sides have been dead for several decades trying to figure out who the heck Arthur is talking about. He does not even consider the Dolma and Dragoon.

A sequel to my lil guy

[hurglewurm]

they really turned that boy into anything they wanted but the extent of what they wanted was 1. old man 2. old woman

[themundanemudperson]

the reason that arthur looked at dragoon and went "your eyes, we've met somewhere before" is because of the sheer amount of eyefucking the two of them do. man spends half his time staring into merlin's eyes he better have recognized them

What do you mean? Dragoon has a great fashion sense. (+a template)

“What kind of a damn fool question is that?! I am who I am and I am who I was and I am who I will always be!”

I will always love you, Dragoon The Great.

on my fourth annual rewatch of merlin and i don’t think we as a fandom talk about how merlin absolutely slaughtered the knights up in 4x06. bro had those insults locked in and ready to go. he’d been choreographing how to fuck their shit up for MONTHS. he saw his opportunity to take out every last bit of his frustration in one fell swoop and he took it AND THEN SOME.

I’ve been thinking about this though like. The knights set themselves up when they approached disguised!Merlin all threatening like that. Merlin immediately calls Gwaine a drunk and everything goes to hell from there. Calls Percival by name even though they’ve never met before. They do not even question how this random old man in the woods knows these details about their lives.

That said, we are getting a glimpse at how Merlin thinks he will be treated by the knights if his magic is actually revealed, which is an angst fest of itself. The same thing happens in Lamia, really. Merlin is on the receiving end of a lot of misdirected violence from his friends in s4. But in the case of the Fomorrah, he ends up deflecting this with anger and petty pranks.

It also means we’re not getting enough fics where Merlin is on the run, gets inundated by knights, and leaves them to report back to Arthur with a humiliating defeat. Emphasis on humiliating. This is the blueprint, people. Normal Merlin > Goblin Gaius forever.

arthur: still a sorcerer then?

merlin, as dragoon: what kind of a stupid question is that? 'still a sorcerer?' what else am I going to be, an aardvark?

For the square M1 - Flowershop AU of my @merlinbingo card

Dragoon the Great runs a flowershop when Merlin needs a break from his normal jobs. It's a mostly a relaxing hobby that allows him to tell annoying customers exactly what he thinks of them, until Morgana comes in looking for a very specific flower. Then it just becomes another complicated mess Merlin has to deal with somehow, preferably before anyone gets hurt.

Merlin: if I can’t use magic… I might as well die! :’(

*angsty walk away*

Gaius: ugh this dramatic bitch :/

[agent-holbrook]

Every single powerful warlock that Arthur knows of - Dragoon the Great, The Dolma, Emrys, and the Last Dragonlord - are ironically all his idiot manservant in disguise who he loves with all his heart.
