im not a fan of modern merthur but the idea of them meeting in modern times and introducing themselves to each other and them laughing and bonding over their names being connected to the myth of king arthur and camelot is just so cute
#like i prefer canon fics#magic and royalty and knights and dangerous quests etc etc#but the idea of merlin being teased for sharing a name with the great wizard of legend#which means he has Too Much knowledge on all things camelot#and then meeting arthur pendragon and going#‘no fucking way’ and his first question when arthur introduces himself is ‘as in king arthur of camelot?’#and arthur (never been told that before) is like ‘wtf?? no?? but interesting first response pls tell me more im intrigued’#and merlin introducing himself with a laugh#them bonding over it and making jokes like#‘finally. where have you been?? i’ve been looking for you’#‘wheres my crown’#‘must be destiny’#‘ill turn you into a toad’#etc etc#so cute#so funny#i love them#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur

I should find another hobby
Anyway, if Merlin was set in modern times, Arthur would have called Merlin his “gay awakening”.
#arthur’s mind in this moment (probably)#‘what the fuck is a stab with a magical sword anyway’#‘let me kiss merlin’#‘let’s smooch’#‘let’s go back to camelot and copulate’#‘why haven’t i done this before i mean WHATEVER I’M JUST DYING SO’#‘let’s make the best of my last few moments AM I RIGHT FELLAS’#‘come on merlin one small peck coME HERE’#and merlin’s thoughts (probably):#‘if you die without kissing me i will sentence you to death’#‘no hesitation’#‘put those pretty lips on minE COME ON ARTHIE’#merlin’s thought as he waits for arthur’s return (probably)#‘i’ll kill him again. what the fuck does thank you even mean’#‘bro be for real we’re just gay’#‘we were supposed to bed each other and you died in my arms instead’#‘pretty dramatic if you ask me’#if you didn’t notice i’m going insane#merthur#bbc merlin#merlin#arthur pendragon#merlin bbc#i’ll probably delete it later because i don’t feel that sure about it but i wanted a laugh#i made this out of desperation for the finale since i finished my rewatch#please send help

Honestly the more you know about the family trees in Arthurian legend the funnier the family tree in the show becomes.
#bbc merlin#Merlin BBC#Arthur Pendragon#Morgana Pendragon#Uther Pendragon#Ygraine de Bois#obviously simplified trees but you get my point#Agravaine what you doing jumping two generations?#Morgana going from Arthur's maternal half sister to his paternal always makes me laugh#Not even touching on the blood feud between Percival's family and Gawain's#Or the fact that in some versions Gawain marries a mad hag in the woods and she magically becomes the hottest lady in Camelot#and if you look at her name is seems like she might be Percival's mum

Things I like to think would happen if the Knights and co knew about Merlin’s magic (and merthur):
• “Merlin, can you do the fire trick with the dragon again?”
• “I’m not drying your clothes, Gwaine. You chose to go in the river fully clothed, you pay the price.”
• Merlin making them flower crowns and them bullying Arthur into wearing his
• Everyone asking him if he can make them fly
• Merlin pretending he can talk to the horses and making them think him and the horses are shit talking
• Him and Gwen pretending to do chores together but really he magicked it and they’re just having a nice evening
• Merlin and Morgana having lessons in the forest while the knights what over so none one spits them
• “No, I can’t read minds.” One of the knights, “oh, okay.” *realises they didn’t ask that out loud.* “WAIT-“
• Merlin and Arthur cuddling together at night accidentally and everyone knows because Merlin’s magic is safe now and leaves a patch of flowers under him when he sleeps
• Merlin creating plants with his magic so he doesn’t have to spend so much time gathering herbs for Gaius
• the Knights and Gwen taking this a step further and making a garden of herbs for him and Gaius
• Arthur realising they should have done that years ago and putting the royal funds into it despite Uthers annoyance
• Morgana and Merlin being taught how to fight with swords (even if she already knows a fair bit) so they can protect themselves with something other than magic
• the two of them then teaching Gwen because they both think she’d be an amazing knight
• Gaius having a mini heart attack whenever he hears Merlin and the Knights talking about magic
• them realising he’s insecure about his healing magic because it’s the hardest form of magic and being sure to praise him whenever he does it or any other form of healing
• After Merlin and Arthur finally get together, his magic doesn’t want to leave him alone and so when he does his little fire show for them it instantly goes to Arthur and the others get jealous
• after an attack and Merlin nearly gets hurt, Arthur ‘forces’ his Knights to be sworn to Merlin with Merlin’s staff and so technically, they’re also his Knights and Merlin is a royal
• The druids instantly knowing this and calling him a prince
• the knights going along with it
• After a while the Knights (who know how) begin to teach the Druids things like reading and currency
• everyone teasing Merlin by saying his magic has a crush on Arthur despite the two being together already
• he blushes every time
• Merlin openly enchanting their amour to be stronger and magic proof
• him giving Gwen and Morgana matching necklaces that are also enchanted that they keep hidden
• all of them are so impressed with his power but then they are just straight dumfounded because like… how the fuck did he keep this hidden for so long?
• Growing strawberries once he sees how much Gwen loves them and they are really rare
• tricking the Knights into thinking he can talk to ghost just to laugh at their faces
• Just constantly embarrassed by the Druids cause they see him as a god or, as the knights point out, as a king and the Knights decide that means he’s Arthur’s wife and Queen of Camelot
• Arthur making this worse by saying, “Queen or Consort?”
• Merlin flicking water in his face despite none being near them
I’ll add more as I think of them :)

I love the trope where Arthur as King has a set of rules or a list of what Merlin is allowed to do, what he's NOT allowed to do, and what HE (and all those who adore Merlin) will do to anyone who harms Merlin. King Arthur can now show his protective side openly and will throw a gauntlet down if someone other than him insults Merlin.
I imagine he'd make it a law that Merlin will sit on his lap, so on his throne you got Merlin sitting prettily on Arthur's lap, the golden king smug asf whilst cuddling Merlin 😉

Hey remember that time in 1.09 when Merlin went to take out wraith Tristan like “oh this’ll be SO discreet” because it was nighttime and then immediately proceeded to publicly light him up like a fucking Guy Fawkes Day effigy with a trail of fire leading directly back to him
#listen#tell me i’m wrong#a horde of guards like 10ft away are currently paying up their bets for#1) how long it would take merlin to attack the knight with magic#2) what kind of magic he would use#and 3) how fucking obvious it would be#the guards from that lying in the grass pic have made absolute BANK and are now planning an extravagant wedding#gaius is roasting marshmallows on a flaming tristan to stress eat#merlin can’t wait to tell hunith how discreet he’s being in camelot#arthur wakes to zero brain cells and one wedding invitation from the guards#just a normal day in camelot#in a land of myth#and a time of dumbassery#excalibur#merlin#bbc merlin

And like the cycle of the year, we begin again ~ Mini comic (part 1)
Hi !! I finally come with the promised comic 😁 I started it several months ago, and although there have been days when I haven't known how to move forward, I have had a lot of support from @ineffablesbooks GRACIAS AMIGA!! We are both big fans of Merlin and especially of the INCREDIBLE fanfic that @katherynefromphilly wrote. I don't know what I would have done after finishing s5 without this story, so thank you so much, I love how you write Merlin and Arthur. Anyway, I hope you like this comic as much as I liked doing it. Stay tone, because this is only the first part!! So in a few days there will be part 2, I also don't rule out making more mini comics of other scenes in the future, so wait for it, I hope you like it and enjoy it!!

morgana and arthur have a sleepover when they’re teenagers and morgana brings out this summoning spell and arthur is all “magic?!?!?! :o thats wrong we cant do that” and morgana just says “pussy.” and then arthur is helping her set everything up. they light the candles and chant in the old tongue and then BOOM a figure appears but it’s not the mighty god emrys the text talked of, it’s just a boy a couple of years younger than arthur, scared and confused, who answers to the name merlin rather than emrys. while they’re arguing, merlin goes stiff and is like “do you hear that?” and then trails out of morgana’s chambers in a trance and obviously morgana and arthur follow him and they end up way beneath the castle where theres a fucking dragon???? now emrys, the once and future king, and the witch are chillin w a dragon and talking about destiny. none of them are happy about this btw
#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#morgana le fay#morgana pendragon#god emrys#sorta god!merlin#(hes in denial about this)#fanfiction#fanfic#fic idea#promts#merlin is unhappy bc he was just a simple farm boy in ealdor and now hes supposedly some sort of deity#AND HES IN CAMELOT!!! CHILLING WITH THE PRINCE!!!#arthur is unhappy bc he is supposed to undo everything his father stands for?? and the weight of the crown was already heavy enough#but now he has to deal w destiny on top of that all???#morgana is slighty scared about her magic but shes also annoyed bc wow arthur gets a cool destiny and she gets….*checks notes*#magic and the potential to destroy camelot#shes meant to be the villain in this story???#kilgharras glowering down at morgana the whole time. hes upset shes there in the first place#no ones happy

The thing about Merlin and Arthur saying " we could habe been friends/get along if things were different" that gets me really is the double meaning/duality of this statement.
Becaue this line does not only apply to their positions, as one is king and the other is a servant, but it also embeds the secrety that surrounds merlin's true identity. If things were different, Arthur could have known Merlin, truly and completely, for who he is, what he represents and all he has done for Camelot, for Albion, for their friends, for Arthur. No more lies, no more fear, no more misunderstandings, no more angst. UGHHH their story just breaks me and the brainrot this show causes is too real. SEND HELP!!!
