#emrys

[ramblings-of-a-chaotic-neutral]

Imagine if merlin just shows up in the middle of the prayer like he's spawning out of nowhere scaring the shit out of Arthur and Mordred. Anyway, can't wait to read part 3! Loves and goodbyes ❤️❤️❤️

Aww, thank you so much! I can 100% imagine Mordred and Arthur praying, and in the middle of it, Merlin shows up with his magic crackling with power around him, his voice booming in his dragonlord voice yelling "Who dares summon Emrys- oh wait it's just you."

Arthur's just staring at him in disbelief while Mordred gives him some pastries as an offering.

Maybe Mordred would gaslight Arthur on Merlin's behalf later when Arthur commented on how Emrys very obviously looked exactly like Merlin. Mordred would blink innocently and ask "You mean he looked like Merlin to you? Emrys is known to take on the form of whoever you think of the most, so that's no surprise that your mind saw him as Merlin." And Arthur's just left as a blushing mess after that explanation lol!

[whispers-into-the-void]

one of my favorite favourite scenes. mostly because of that expression dragoon makes in the last clip

the one time Arthur actually used their one shared braincell:

Dragoon & Arthur | 3.10 "Queen of Hearts"

[iamlygophilic]

Part 3 of "If Arthur knew about Merlin's magic since season one!"

Imagine if Merlin was about to talk to Arthur in his thoughts, and when he goes to Arthur's thoughts he hears Arthur thinking about how cute he looks in red and how he wants to kiss him. Later he tells him he heard his thoughts and Arthur just kissed him.

Arthur: so we're dating?

Merlin: dating means you take me out for one

Arthur: we'll go to the lake tomorrow for flower picking.

Merlin: okay, but is it legal to date a guy?

Arthur running to Uther for a question:

Arthur: is it legal for a man to date another man?

Uther: I don't care if you and Merlin date, just don't let other kingdoms find out.

Arthur: how did you know it was Merlin?

Merlin in Arthur's thoughts: you look at me at any chance you get.

Arthur: O.o

Ok so i love Merlin magic reveals but theres just something special about Merlin Dragonlord reveals

The ones where Arthur finds out and suddenly realises "Holy-shit-i-told-Merlin-that-his-own-father-wasnt-worth-a-tear-why-is-he-still-at-my-side-im-a-horrible-person-"

And i've seen several versions of this reveal and what the responses would be

But i haven't seen one i had in my mind

Just imagine this: Merlin grows his hair out ("no, gwaine, im not copying your hairstyle stfu-") and grows a beard

And Arthur thinks it's hot that he looks oddly familiar but can't place it

He tells tells Merlin this and Merlin sits there in cold sweat thinking Arthur is connecting him to Dragoon or something

It takes Arthur a week (A whole week!) to figure out who bearded Merlin reminds him of

They’re sitting around the fire on their way to a quest or whatever

And Arthur looks at Merlin who's attempting to carve what looks like a misformed dog from a piece of wood when Arthur suddenly gets flashbacks to that time The Great Dragon escaped and they went in search for the last Dragonlord.

Balinor. Merlin looks like Balinor.

And now that he sees it he can't unsee it. It's uncanny how much they look alike. Almost like father and son...

And that is how Arthur realises that he never defeated The Great Dragon and that Merlin is in fact the last dragonlord and "shit-shit-shit-my-father-ruined-his-fathers-life-and-i-told-him-not-to-cry-about-it-"

Ignoring the fact that Uther believed that Dragonlords were too close to magic Arthur confronts Merlin about it, and promises him it's alright, it will all be alright. And Merlin can barely get out a word before Arthur hugs him, both of them pretending that Merlin totally isnt crying.

Arthur takes any books on dragons and dragonlords he can find and gives them to Merlin.

(Bonus points if Merlin lets Arthur come along the next time he summons Kilgarrah for help and Arthur promptly kisses Merlin after hearing him use that voice because 'holy-shit-hes-so-hot-what-the-actual-fuck')

((Even more bonus points if they adopt Aithusa together))

[worthyprnce]

when the heart would cease, ours never knew peace

I have my own personal interpretation of this, I came up with a whole canon divergent scene in where merlin finds gwaine just as he is about to die and tries to save him (but fails), but I'm not going to include it here cause I want to keep it open to interpretation as well :)

— this is also based and inspired by @sneakyboymerlin's prompt <3

[ogmerlanian]

Arthur is my fav character, who is y’all’s?

[the-wanderer]

[xomarryamox]

Pls help me find this ao3 fic, it's a merthur one. Arthur is trying to find emrys to be his court sorcerer, but merlin keeps coming up with excuses not so reveal himself. I think Leon also says that emrys broke merlin heart, but in the end it's kilgarrah who reveals him as emrys. It's a rlly funny fic and there's no angst, I just love it.

MERLIN'S ASSISTANT MASTERLIST

On where Arthur comes back to life and meets once again with his manservant, only to find out he has... aquired a new friend.

(Idk 'bout you, but if i don't do this I get lost)

Part 1- The first meeting.

Part 2- Introductions.

Part 3 - Comfy clothes.

[ramblings-of-a-chaotic-neutral]

Since I've been on a roll with short au prompts recently, here's another one! This is an au where, during the battle of Camlann, Merlin manages to save Arthur and defeat Morgana and her army. However, it comes at the cost of revealing his magic and his identity as Emrys. Furious at the perceived betrayal, Arthur attempts to fight him, but Merlin doesn't want to fight.

Here's the twist though: the story is written like a video game boss battle from Arthur's perspective. Here's an example:

Final Boss: EMRYS ATK: 999999999 DEF: 999999999 HP: ∞

EMRYS: I don't want to fight you, Arthur.

What will you do? >Attack Talk Use Item Run

You attack with a steel sword! 0 damage!

EMRYS: Please, stop this. EMRYS chooses to spare you!

What will you do? Attack >Talk Use Item Run

What would you like to say? >Insult Question Appease

You call EMRYS a traitor. EMRYS looks guilty. EMRYS's DEF lowered!

EMRYS: I never wanted to hurt you. EMRYS chooses to spare you!

What will you do? Attack >Talk Use Item Run

What would you like to say? Insult >Question Appease

You ask EMRYS why he has magic. EMRYS: I was born with it. I use it only for you, Arthur. EMRYS's DEF lowered!

EMRYS: My life has always been yours. EMRYS chooses to spare you!

What will you do? Attack Talk >Use Item Run

What item would you like to use? Dagger Steel Sword >Excalibur

You draw Excalibur from its sheath! EMRYS's ATK, DEF, and HP lowered!

EMRYS: If that is what you want, then I will accept it. EMRYS chooses to spare you!

SECOND PHASE CONDITIONS MET!

Final Boss: MERLIN ATK: 0 DEF: 0 HP: 1

MERLIN looks at you with tears in his eyes. MERLIN: I will accept your judgement, Arthur.

What will you do? >Attack Talk Use Item Spare

…

What will you do? Attack Talk Use Item >Spare

"We Don't Talk About Emrys" lyrics: a "We Don't Talk About Bruno" parody

So for the last like 1.5-2 years I haven't been singing as much as I used to due to medical stuff I'm still dealing with and vastly underestimated how that effected my singing voice. So, idk when/if I'll get a recording of my voice singing this posted and decided to just post the lyrics and put the recording on the back burner.

The lyrics have been changed for the most part bc when it got to the overlapping part, i decided that since it's hard to tell what's being sung, i could get away with some missing lines or that I could decide what to do when I got to that part. I left the who-sings-what in and the og lyrics that I put in strikethrough so you could get an idea of how it's supposed to be sung. Not feeling great right now, so I hope it's is understandable.

Thank you to @gazpachoandbooks for the idea you can find here and to @aloeverawrites for helping with the lyrics. If you're interested in seeing the progression of the lyric changes you can find it here. You can find the fic inspired by this on AO3 here. And finally, I only speak for myself, but I'm totally fine with you using these lyrics how you want and feel free to change them if you want to. I won’t be offended. Maybe give credit, but if you want to use them, have fun.

lyrics under the cut

[Pepa:]

We don't talk about Emrys, no, no, no

We don't talk about Emrys, but

It was my wedding day It was many years ago

[Félix:]

It was our wedding day It was so long ago

[Pepa:]

We were getting ready The awaited day arrived

And there wasn't a cloud in the sky

[Félix:]

No clouds allowed in the sky Emrys was finally born

[Pepa:]

Emrys walks in with a mischievous grin The earth called out welcoming him to life

[Félix:]

Thunder!

[Pepa:]

You're telling the story or am I? The world came to life around him!

[Félix:]

I'm sorry, mi vida, go on What a miraculous day

[Pepa:]

Emrys says, "It looks like rain" Welcomed him with a shower of rain

[Félix:]

Why did he tell us? The start of a new age

[Pepa:]

In doing so, he floods my brain The birds all sang out his name

[Félix:]

We had to get the umbrellas We would be free from our cage

[Pepa:]

Married in a hurricane The journey to the Golden Age

[Félix:]

What a joyous day but anyway

[Pepa & Félix:]

We don't talk about Emrys, no, no, no

We don't talk about Emrys

[Dolores:]

Hey, grew to live in fear of Emrys stuttering or stumbling Hey, our lives were full of fear, but his presence stops our trembling

I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling You can always hear him ‘cause his mutterings like rumbling

I associate him with the sound of falling sand, Calling on the power of the ancient land, ch-ch-ch

It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling

Always left Abuela and the family fumbling Always running ‘round and trying to stop from fumbling

Grappling with prophecies they couldn’t understand Grappling with prophecies he couldn't understand

Do you understand?

[Camilo:]

Seven-foot frame, rats along his back dragons at his back

When he says your name, it all turns to black When he casts his spells, it all fades to black

Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams (Hey) Yeah, he’s all powerful, the prophesied immortal

[Pepa & Camilo:]

We don't talk about Emrys, no, no, no

[Dolores:]

No, no

[Pepa & Camilo:]

We don't talk about Emrys

[Dolores:]

We don't talk about Emrys

[Townsperson 1:]

He told me my fish would die, the next day, dead He controls the power of life and death, and can call forth lightning

[Ensemble:]

No, no

[Townsperson 2:]

He told me I'd grow a gut and just like he said He killed two High Priestesses before he was 30

[Ensemble:]

No, no

[Townsperson 3:]

He said that all my hair would disappear, now, look at my head He took out two undead armies with his dragon forged sword

[Ensemble:]

Hey!

No, no

Your fate is sealed when your prophecy is read Your fate is sealed when you go against him

[Isabela:]

He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised, and someday be mine He fought the sidhe when he was still just a teen for the life of the Once And Future King

He told me that my power would grow It is foretold that his power would grow

Like the grapes that thrive on the vine

[Abuela Alma:]

Óye, Mariano's on his way Oh, he’s magic incarnate

[Dolores:]

He told me that the man of my dreams It is said that he met Taliesin

Would be just out of reach to see into the future

Betrothed to another in the Crystal Cave

It's like I hear him, now He is a dragonlord

[Isabela:]

Hey sis, I want not a sound out of you He hatched the white dragon of Albion

[Dolores:]

({It's like I can hear him now,} ←this part is sung under last line) I can hear him now

[Mirabel:]

Um, Emrys

Yeah, about that Emrys

I really need to know about Emrys

Give me the truth and the whole truth, Emrys

[Camilo:]

Isabela, your boyfriend's here He’s the most powerful warlock to ever—

[Abuela Alma & Isabela:]

Time for dinner —walk the earth!

[Camilo:]

A seven-foot frame, rats along his back dragons at his back

[Pepa:]

It was my wedding day It was many years ago

[Félix:]

It was our wedding day It was so long ago

[Isabela:]

He told me that the life of my dreams He fought the sidhe when he was still just a teen

[Dolores:]

Grew to live in fear of Emrys stuttering or stumbling Our lives were full of fear, but his presence stops our trembling

[Camilo:]

When he says your name it all fades to black When he casts his spells it all fades to black

[Pepa:]

We were getting ready The awaited day came and there wasn't a cloud in the sky

[Félix:]

No clouds allowed in the sky (Or you could do the new line here “Emrys was finally born”)

[Isabela:]

Would be promised and some day be mine for the life of the Once And Future King

[Dolores:]

I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling You can always hear him cause his mutterings like rumbling

I associate him with the sound of falling sand, Calling on the power of the ancient land, ch-ch-ch

[Camilo:]

Yeah, he sees your dreams Yeah, he’s all powerful 

[Pepa:]

Emrys walks in with a mischievous grin (idk, you could leave it or change it.)

[Isabela:]

He told me that my power would grow It is foretold that his power would grow

[Dolores:]

It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling 

[Camilo:]

And feasts on your screams the prophesied immortal

[Félix:]

Thunder

[Pepa:]

You're telling the story or am I? The world came to life around him!

[Félix:]

I'm sorry, mi vida, go on What a miraculous day

[Isabela:]

Like the grapes that thrive on the vine, ({I'm fine} ←i didn’t know what to do with this little part)

[Dolores:]

Always left Abuela and the family fumbling Always running ‘round, trying to stop from fumbling

Grappling with prophecies they couldn’t understand Grappling with prophecies he couldn't understand

Do you understand?

{And I'm fine, and I'm fine, and I'm fine, I'm fine} ←idk. I was planning on just skipping this line and hoping it still sounded good without it

[Ensemble:]

He's here He’s near

Don't talk about Emrys

[Mirabel:]

Why did I talk about Emrys?

[Ensemble:]

Not a word about Emrys

[Mirabel:]

I never should have brought up Emrys

[runboybeneaththemoon]

Arthur: Okay, so you're my servant now. It's not really that important of a position, just like, idk, make sure you bring me my breakfast on time

Merlin: I would die for you, I would kill for you, I'd give up my humanity and become a living weapon for you, I would sit by your grave for over a millennium, awaiting your return-

Arthur: but would you bring me breakfast on time?

Merlin: Well that's asking a bit much, don't you think?

again, ethically sourced from tumblr

[theroundbartable]

Emrys is an angel of the Lord. Send to earth to destroy Arthur Pendragon without being detected. He is made to take over the body of a farming boy in the outskirts of Essetir, close to the border of Camelot.

When they get to Camelot, however, something changes.

Emrys changes.

He mostly lets Merlin take over, lets him do his thing because the prince seems to like him for some reason. The thing is... Merlin likes him too.

Emrys watches with fascination as this little farming boy manages to get under prince Arthur's skin, warps himself around his life... And then begs Emrys to help him protect the man.

Emrys falls in love with humanity, watching their story unfold. He falls in love with Merlin's courage and humor, he falls for Arthur's aspirations, his vision for Camelot. And once he'd fallen for them, the rest of the castle slowly follows.

Before he knows it, Emrys himself is caught in a fight against the heavens, his brothers, all to protect the kindness and love he'd found on earth.

It really gets out of hand when one of his siblings takes over Morgana's body in order to finish the job...
