#emrys

Modern Merlin au anyone?

“Wait, you’re Emrys?” Arthur asks, befuddled. Merlin nods. “The one the druids practically worship?”

“Yep.”

“The one they speak of as the most powerful warlock to ever walk the earth? Magic incarnate? The protector of the Once And Future King?”

“That’s what they like to say about me, yeah,” Merlin answers with a casual nod.

“You.”

“Yeah me. Problem with that? Because I can just go if you don’t want me to deal with your griffin problem,” Merlin replies. Arthur purses his lips.

“…No. I just thought…”

“You just thought…” Merlin prompts, raising his eyebrows. Arthur looks to the side for a moment before meeting his eyes again.

“I just figured with all that you’d be older.”

“Hm. Magic doesn’t care much about age,” Merlin says. “Also you know that age spells exist, right? Can make someone both younger or older.”

“Oh?” Arthur asks, perking with interest. “So you just use magic to be younger. That makes sense.”

“No, I’m really this old. I was just saying,” Merlin says, and Arthur looks caught out. Merlin doesn’t try too hard to hide his amused smile. “Also, Emrys is more a title or stage name, you could say. I usually go by Merlin.”

“Right then. Merlin, it is,” Arthur says, clearing his throat.

“Yep. And your Arthur.”

“I’m the king,” Arthur says.

“I’m aware,” Merlin replies with a smile.

“Well, you can’t just call me that,” Arthur says.

“Oh, my apologies, my lord,” Merlin replies, giving a little bow, meeting Arthur’s eyes the entire time.

“Griffins are this way!” Arthur says, voice louder, and turning sharply, striding off. Merlin grins as he starts to walk after him. With a snap of his fingers, his white motorcycle morphs into a white dragon that shines under the sun and happily trots after him.

“She likes to play motorcycle,” he informs the gaping guards and knights as he pats Aithusa’s neck. Arthur looks back for a moment, eyes Aithusa, then continues forward. Merlin smiles as he walks with Aithusa at his side.

He wouldn’t normally take a job like this, his position as Emrys meaning it bad to align himself with a nation. But, Arthur is not an ordinary king, he is the Once And Future King. It is something only a very few know, not even Arthur himself is aware, but Merlin is looking forward to the future he’ll bring.

The legend they’ll make.

A king hired a new official court sorcerer expecting a elderly white haired human in a robe not a raven haired haired 20 something riding a motorcycle in a leather jacket and aviators but he can not deny their efficiency.

MERLIN COSPLAY

Well, finally, it came to processing Merlin cosplay photos. I really like the way it comes out! I think I'll send the rest of the successful photos for processing after a while 💛✨

Au where Merlin’s like Lucifer in that his appearance is based off of how he sees himself. The further the series goes on the worse he thinks of himself because of all the people he’s killed and things he’s done for Arthur that compromised his morals. Just like Lucifer started thinking of himself as the devil and so had a devil face and wings, Merlin would start thinking himself a monster and his features would get sharper, his teeth more fang like, more inclined to make animalistic noises (growls and such), grow claws, maybe some horns. He could hide these changes with his magic so other people don’t know, but he knows. He views himself as a monster and that just makes him believe it more, making the transformation go further and further. The more he sees it, the more he believes it, the more he becomes it.

Gaius doesn’t know. Lancelot didn’t know. He was too scared to tell them. To show them what he’s becoming.

Finals are OVER and I did this one as a warm up and then it turned out too good not to post. Enjoy the boy.

[tonystarkdeservesthewholeworld]

I have watched almost all of season five but im saving the last episode for christmas eve (im also not emotionally prepared to watch it)

I didnt mind Mordred at first, he was alright ig but now I HATE him. He just makes me so angry? Like, I get he would be upset that the girl he loved was killed but that was her fault, Arthur gave a her a more than fair chance given that she committed treason, threatened the king and killed a bunch of people

The episode with the dolma was AMAZING I love merlin and the penultimate episodes where he lost his magic KILLED me. Arthur believing he's a coward and abandoning him when he needs him most, Merlin not wanting to leave Arthur but having to, Merlin being alone and helpless and then making a BUTTERFLY of all things when he gets his magic back just AFHDGDH I CANT😭😭

ELYAN!! I miss him sm I love all the knights so seeing him die actually broke my heart i miss him����💔💔

[hug-kiss-marry-kill]

We give Merlin/Emrys a hug!

[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?

merlin and arthur co-parenting human aithusa (even though they would NEVER talk about it) my beloved

(...yes, I've been reading too many fanfics again, NOW TELL ME WHAT YOUR FAV MERTHUR FANFICS ARE >:])

[thistle--bug]

Two sides of the same coin

[emrysmoss]

You’re laughing. The destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy and you’re laughing.

[1doesnotsimplyhavejust1fandam]

My favorite Merthur dynamic, especially in slow-burn fics is, once they’ve had their “oh” moments. Arthur is doing backflips around the fact that he’s in love with a man, let alone his manservant, let alone Merlin. And then there’s Merlin, who takes one look inward and is like “well, this might as well happen,” and then tucks this secret away inside him with the rest of them. Because, well, his life is already Arthur’s, his heart might as well be too.

Meanwhile, Arthur is screaming crying throwing up, and nobody knows why, least of all Merlin, but damn if he’s not going to give figuring it out his best shot. Cue Merlin performing various acts of sorcery on a passed out Arthur to find out why his king can’t get a full sentence out in his presence without getting flustered.

People don't talk about this scene enough, so I am going to.

[Found picture online after much searching]

Merlin fans tend to talk about the ending of the show, offering alternative endings which are interesting and exciting. However, I feel that not enough people appreciate those small scenes in Merlin that make all the difference.

This is a moment from the secret sharer (that one episode with our bestie Alator). The LIGHTING in this scene is phenomenal. The props and set design? Stunning. The camera angles? Beautiful. The way Colin Morgan is sat so that the light from the window hits his face at the perfect angle? Amazing.

There is so much thought and care in everything in this show, and don't even get me started on the music! The soundtrack is SO GOOD!! I understand the importance of major scenes and why they are talked about so much, but honestly it's the small moments that really make the show what it is for me.

Day 13 (officially day 15): Grimoire

This is a bit rushed, cause I am severely lacking in time right now, but whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also if I’m not replying to comments, my apologies. I’ve tried, but it doesn’t seem to work a lot of the time. I’ll reply as soon as it works again.

[two-crows-in-a-trenchcoat]

I love merlin as dragoon he just gets to be a bitch to everyone and you can tell he enjoys it

like yeah he's a really serious sorcerer or whatever but he's also a little bitch and you've gotta respect him for that
