#i’m slowly going insane

[that-nerd-who-writes-fanfiction]

I was talking with my friend about which of the knights would immediately support Merlin’s magic when it’s revealed and which of them would need a little more time.

Then we started thinking about how Merlin reacts when Arthur is threatened, and how he doesn’t care who it is but he’ll fight anyone to protect Arthur.

And because I love angst too much, I brought up how hurt Arthur would be at his best knights and closest friends assuming the worst of him.

I’ve had this stuck in my head for a few days so thought I’d share:

———

There’s some sort of emergency, either a magical creature or bandits while the knights, Arthur, and Merlin are all on a hunting trip. Arthur’s life is in danger so Merlin acts without thinking to save him, revealing his magic to everyone. (Only Gwaine and Lancelot know, but Merlin doesn’t know that Gwaine knows yet.) Merlin is left standing in front of Arthur with his hand out to stop the threat while the gold leaves his eyes.

Arthur: You have magic…

Lancelot and Gwaine both come to Merlin’s defence, saying something like

Lancelot: *standing protectively by Merlin* Sire, he’s done nothing worthy of punishment.

Gwaine: *grabs his sword and stands protectively by Merlin* if you hurt him, and it’ll be the last thing you’re capable of doing.

And seeing them both defend Merlin over his magic so easily, the rest of the knights join in too. Leon knows Merlin and Arthur are as loyal to each other as they come, and Elyan and Percival have both seen magic - good, bad and indifferent - outside of Camelot from their travels so while it took them a second longer, they do side with Merlin.

Leon: Arthur, think this through,

Elyan: *holding his sword* I can’t allow you to hurt him.

Percival: *puts a hand on Arthur’s shoulder threateningly* Merlin’s as loyal as they come, surely he deserves a chance to explain himself.

Arthur isn’t even holding his sword, he dropped it during the fight which is why Merlin had to save him. He’s just looking at Merlin with hurt in his eyes, then at the knights looking something close to betrayed but also hurt for them believing he could ever hurt Merlin. The thought never crossed his mind until Gwaine said it.

Merlin stops looking at Arthur and glares at the knights, stepping away from Lancelot and Gwaine to make it clear that he doesn’t want them to side with him. He then magics Elyan’s and Gwaine’s swords into flowers so they aren’t threatening Arthur. Then he stops holding anything back so his ‘Emrys filter’ disappears and Merlin gets to be threatening while being openly protective.

Merlin: All of you, stop. If anyone harms a hair on Arthur’s head, I’ll reenact every attempt on his life that I’ve stopped since coming to Camelot on you all, but this time they’ll be successful. So help me gods if you hurt him, I’ll hurt you enough that your great grandchildren will still be feel that pain.

Arthur: …

Everyone is stunned, Arthur feels overwhelmed by everything and isn’t exactly processing, but he’s hopeful when he sees Merlin still caring about him.

Merlin: *turns to Arthur* I’m a sorcerer, I have magic. I use it for you, Arthur. And whatever you decide for my fate, I’ll accept it willingly.

Arthur: We’re going home. You’ve got a hell of a lot of explaining to do, Merlin.

Merlin sighs, relieved that he isn’t about to lose his life, and immediately goes back to his servant duties, handing Arthur his sword and getting the horses. The knights collect their things, murmuring to themselves and subtly watching Merlin and Arthur while they talk too quietly to be heard.

Arthur: Thank you.

Merlin looks over, confused and raising an eyebrow in a way he really shouldn’t at his king, but it’s reassuring to Arthur that they’re still Merlin and Arthur despite the magic.

Arthur: For not assuming the worst of me.

Merlin: You’re too good for that, Arthur. Even if you did get angry, you’d have every right to after I lied for ten years. For what it’s worth, I am sorry about that.

And it seems so simple in the way Merlin says it, like they can get through this just like they’ve gotten through everything else so it’s going to be okay. So Arthur tentatively accepts it in that moment, whatever ‘it’ is that gives Merlin magic because he’s definitely still got questions.

Arthur: it’s… well, it’s not great. I won’t pretend I’m not upset, but at least you didn’t go shouting about it in court.

Merlin, flashbacks to when Gwen was accused of witchcraft: yeah… good thing…

———

That’s all I got. I’ve still got really bad brain fog so I’m not sure how coherent this is, I’d settle for passably readable at best though. I’ll probably write something more for this when I can focus on anything for more than five minutes without feeling like my head is going to explode, but for now I’m just gonna leave this here.

You think there’s a timeline where liulao happens?

Like is there a timeline with titan (insert random character) where it just so happens to have these two kiss and awkwardly hold hands? And maybe fuck

[helloaft0n]

Now we have random Steven headcannons

• He's probably one of the most energetic, possibly most insane person you'll ever meet, yet his father never put him into a psychiatric hospital /j

• He can speak different languages (But he knows Spanish, second next to English (DUH))

• He’s really flexible… REALLY, really flexible..

• Pretty strong too, which makes sense, since he’s a military pilot all together.

• He sometimes goes shopping right after his job, to save his father the trouble of possibly accidentally getting killed by a doppelgänger

This also leads Mclooy to get scared that something might have possibly happened to his son

Always leads to sometimes Steven having to comfort him

• He keeps a secret gun somewhere in his apartment (maybe the closet), just incase a doppel somehow gets in

He’s really experienced with guns

• He sometimes gets very tired very easy, like how sometimes he finally arrives home, then he immediately goes to sleep after sitting somewhere comfy

He also has hidden eyebags, not as heavy as the ones Francis has, though

• Straight

• He’s like really smart but also really stupid

• Likes cuddles, which is why he NEVER refuses sleepovers

He likes to cuddle other ppl who came

• Not interested in any romantically relationships

Doesn’t mind kisses (platonic or his father only)

• Allergic to shellfish, like deathly allergic

Once got sent to the hospital because he accidently ate one

• Southern accent, though it's not as heavy as his father's

• He really likes to wear his jacket around his waist, but he doesn't do it that often for whatever reason

• He plays pranks on his neighbours, sometimes his father aswell

He once locked two neighbours together to "provoke their love for eachother"

• He's the extrovert typa guy

• He has an eyebrow slit that he got from work a few years ago, and it never healed, yet he finds it cool anyway

• He smokes cigars

If u guys have any suggestions for other headcannons I could do please tell them (nightmare mode also included)
