#gwen x merlin

[akelafang]

Arthur having to explain his love life to the council: I'm married to Gwen, who is in love with Morgana, I'm also in love with Merlin, and everyone but Morgana is in love with Lancelot. It's really not that complicated.

Merlin & Guinevere (Merlin)

What are you going to do? Why does everyone seem to think it’s down to me to do something about it? Because it is, isn’t it? You have to show everyone that you were right and they were wrong.

Merlin: Gwen, grab your taser.

Gwen: I don't have a taser!

Merlin: How can you not have a taser?

Arthur: Do you always have a taser?

Merlin: How do you think I stopped stabbing people?

morgana x guinevere ᥫ᭡ 1.13, “le morte dʼarthur”

[thefirstwormonyourcorpse]

"his life is worth a thousand of mine" sounds like a line from a tragic romance, classic novel that puts others like it to shame.

and yet, it is literally from bbc merlin, a show about a magic servant that tries to sacrifice himself for the life of his prince everyday.

but tbh, king arthur and merlin are a tale of tragic romance and a classic novel.

merthur marriage of convenience. arthur is complaining that his council is on his ass about marrying and siring an heir and they keep trying to arrange marriages but arthur doesn't fucking want any of them. merlin knows that arthur would like to marry someone he loves but he also knows that arthur has shown no interest in like anyone except when he was enchanted so like...who tf is he gonna marry? he needs to marry someone to get the council off his ass so he's just like "why not marry a friend? ik it wouldn't be a marriage of love but at least you'd have some control and choice in this." and arthur is like "hm. but who tho?"

anyways they make a list of everyone they know who can bear children (bc arthur will need an heir eventually). then they narrow it down, crossing off names like gwen bc she is happily married to lancelot and in a loving relationship with morgana (she has two hands and i love morgwencelot) and morgana (she's literally arthur's sister but they were just putting every name they could think of down first) and elyan (he may be able to bear children but they know he wouldn't be happy going through it bc of medieval dysphoria). eventually it's down to two names, mithian and merlin and arthur looks at merlin's name then up at him and is like "you're literally a trained physician so you should know this but you were literally born a man...how tf are you gonna bear children?" and my beloved genderfluid magic incarnate emrys just shifts her form to female and is like "don't be an idiot. anyways, mithian or me?"

dumb idiot whipped and in love arthur is like "you" and dumb idiot whipped and in love merlin is like "bet". anyways they marry but they're very insistent it's just as friends. lol they have to consummate the marriage the losers. they insist they did that as friends too. the entire round table has way too much fun with this. anyways they remain married "as friends" as they slowly morph into a very loving and touchy relationship "as friends" until they're like casually kissing as greetings and farewells and have that moment of "oh shit we're like actually married and in love" bc they're stupid dumb idiots.

anyways they unite albion and are recognized as high king arthur and high queen merlin and finally have an heir - the high prince/princess whatever you prefer. uhhhh anyways merthur happy ending bc i'm a sucker for it.

Gwen: Arthur, which dress should I wear today?

Arthur: You’ll look amazing in anything.

Gwen: Thanks, but I’m actually having a hard time deciding what to wear, so I’m asking you.

Arthur: You look beautiful everyday.

Gwen: I appreciate it, this isn’t a trick question, please just tell me what to wear today.

Arthur: Absolutely anything.

Gwen: This isn’t working.

Gwen: Merlin! Red dress or light purple one?

Merlin, shouting from the other room: Red! The purple one makes you look too friendly for council meetings!

Gwen: Thanks!

Merlin: You might expect when you start courting someone who has a sibling for said sibling to get a bit protective. You might expect said sibling to tell you all the nasty, horrible things that will happen to you if you dare hurt their sibling. Not the case with Arthur and Morgana. When Arthur and I started courting Morgana said "You chose this willingly, he's your problem now. No takebacks!"

Gwen: It's definitely a Pendragon thing. When Arthur found out Morgana and I were courting he told me to blink twice if I needed help

[starchaser45]

The pendragon siblings are so fruity I can't with them Arthur offers to compete in a death match instead of Merlin and Morgana going to basically reveal herself to Gwen to give her a chance to survive by her side in one episode COME ON YOU GUYS ARE GAAAYYYYYY!!!!

Gwen: I was so…

Merlin: Angry?

Gwen: We never got to say goodbye. And that… isn't fair.

Merlin: It's never fair. Listen to me: I lost someone; you don't get fair. You don't get closure or goodbye. So you take the anger. I've learned that the anger… feels pretty good. Better than the grief. I know that the anger is the thing that gets me up - gets me going in the morning. But, you know, you have to be a little bit careful, because if you let yourself be driven by the anger it'll blind you, and you'll get into trouble over and over again, just so you can… feel. Just so you can beat something.

Gwen: [crying] And what happens then?

Merlin: Well, eventually you run into something your anger can't beat…

Gwen: Like a mountain?

Merlin: [nods] You realize that your… your luck has run out.

[clears throat]

Merlin: And it's a long way down.
