Merlin: I’m incapable of love. I’m a monster, I kill people without hesitation, I lie and keep secrets, people think I’m a drunk, and I’m also actively breaking at least twelve laws at any given moment.
Also Merlin: *makes butterflies and flowers out of his magic, puts on light shows with fire embers and would do literally anything for the people he cares about*
Arthur, Lancelot, Gwaine and many, many others: I am… deeply in love with him.

bbc merlin is a show that has the power of queerbait and straightbait at the same time, and is not afraid to use it. I started watching for merthur and ended up shipping hard mergwen and mergana as well, only for none of these to happen.
Merlin had such a ridiculous amount of chemistry with everyone he met, the writers panicked and just killed everyone instead.

Merlin: God, if only someone loved me… Arthur: standing behind them with a wedding ring roses Freya: holding box of chocolates Gwaine: has balloons Gwen: holding out a flower crown Mordred: has a card Morgana: bringing him special books Lance: literally just dropped everything he was doing because Merlin needed help carrying things Gaius: facepalms This is sad.

DRAWTOBER #25 - The Court of Avalon by Imagined
Under the guidance of the mysterious Lady of the Lake, Arthur spends the many years between his death and his revival in the realm of Avalon. There’s plenty of deals to make with the Sidhe, prophecies about magic to unravel, and mostly—there’s Merlin to watch, on the other side, always waiting for Arthur. A tale spanning centuries, as Arthur finally returns magic to Albion.
this fic... woooo boy this fic... most Arthur Returns fics prefer to focus on Arthur's experience post-return, or Merlin's experience waiting for him. this fic covers the centuries before he wakes up, but from Arthur's side - the summary is a very good summary of the fic so I won't repeat it, but the dynamics between Arthur and Freya, between them both and the Sidhe, the way we really get to see Arthur acting like a king, making tactical choices in his diplomacy and learning and growing... it's SO GOOD. I've not read anything else quite like it.

this scene in s5 ep11 is Always On My Mind
i feel like there are so many layers to this conversation between merlin and mordred
“kara is sentenced to die in the morning. what would you do?”
“you can’t.”
“tell me you wouldn’t do the same for the woman you love.”
the. silence.
“that’d be foolish.”
i repeat. THE. SILENCE. i remember the first time i saw this scene and merlin paused like [gay silence] and i was like🧍🏽♀️and replayed the scene a few times to actually process what i saw
the thing is— this scene could definitely be about freya. honestly, i wouldn’t even argue against it. i think that, to an extent, it is a callback to freya and how merlin wanted to run away with her. this scene really just solidifies how much merlin has changed throughout the years. like saying “that’d be foolish” really shows the disconnect between merlin in s2 and s5
with that being said, while i do think this scene does hint at freya, i believe that this is ultimately about merlin and arthur’s relationship
the silence after mordred asks if merlin would do the same for the woman he loved was telling. i don’t think it was just merlin reminiscing his past with freya, but more so that there was no woman he loved
but there was someone he would do those things for, no matter how foolish it seemed to him. he spent nearly a decade being entirely devoted to arthur and having so much faith in him
no, merlin did not try to run away with arthur like he did with freya, but he did everything else. just episodes before, when arthur asked merlin whether or not he should bring magic back into camelot so that mordred is alive, merlin says no
merlin says no.
what has been merlin’s purpose leading up to that very moment? it was to bring magic back into camelot with arthur’s rule and the golden age of albion. this was something merlin had waited arthur to say to him for YEARS. and it wasn’t just about him— it was about other magic users, the druids, kilgharrah, and all the beings who died because of uther’s tyranny
but merlin said no. he said no because he knew that if he let mordred live, then arthur would be killed. magic didn’t matter to merlin at that point. ultimately, it was never really about magic. it was always about arthur. arthur meant more to merlin than magic did, even when he’s the physical embodiment of it
we’ve witnessed five seasons of merlin making sacrifices or taking risks just for arthur. if anyone understands mordred in that very moment, it would be merlin

Merlin will see the most dysfunctional members of society he can find and be like “yes. This is it.”

it would be really dope to see a fic that takes place in the lake after arthur dies where he and freya end up bonding. idk some magical bullshit where merlin can talk with freya and she offers to pass messages between them but arthur sees how much merlin is hurting and is like "no, it'll only hurt him more if he knows i'm trapped here and he can't save me" so he just watches while merlin sits and waits and cries to freya and then arthur cries to freya too and the poor woman just has these two men sobbing at her for CENTURIES about each other and that ends up being why arthur comes back one day. she gets so fed up by their crying and pining that she manifests some crazy ass magic that just has arthur rocketing back to the land of the living and bursting out of the lake so she can have some damn peace.

merlin writers made an absolute litany of insane crazy /neg decisions over the course of the television program but. making merlin's first love the lady of the lake at the start of the show and then making him give the love of his life to her at the end. fucken based. absolutely red pilled.
#merlin#merlin bbc#bbc merlin#merthur#freya merlin#merlin/freya#arthur pendragon#like i fundamentally disagree with like half the changes they made to some of the legends in this show#but holy SHIT. this one. absolute fucking chad move.#giving the lady of the lake this connection to the audience and this connection to merlin#and in turn this connection to arthur!#and the audience is at least passingly familiar with the last of the lake and her habit of handing out swords#but to tie her so fundamentally to merlin#and to know this ache of her follows him and he can never be free of her#and he can never be free of arthur#he carries them with him even when the lake has dried and he's visiting a grass field every day#he could only meet them at the muddy bank and even that is eventually taken from him#jiminy h christmas.
