#just imagine Merlin singing HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME and all of the knights thinking Arthur beats him

[mysticsublimeperson]

AU IN WICH MERLIN GORS BACK IN TIME TO CAMELOT ON ACCIDENT AND HAS FORGOT ABOUT THE CORRECT STORY because he had heard so many thing over the years, so many versions and variations, and also he’s been living with his own head and imagination. So he tries really hard not to mess up the timeline and all that

BUT

And here is the important part

HE CANNOT SEEM TO FORGET THE LYRICS TO EVERY CHEESY POP LOVE SONG OF THE LAST CENTURY

He doesn’t mean to but while doing his chores suddenly he starts singing the lyrics to Britney Spears song…

He be polishing them swords like “shwaty is like a melody in my head that I can keep out, got me singing like..”

Cleaning Arthur’s windows like “..and though my love is rare, and though my love is true, I’m like a bird I’ll only fly away..”

Putting up camp with the knights like “I’m still standing better than I ever did, looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid..”

A bit drunk talking about the tavern with the knights like

..the club isn’t the best place to find a lover so the bar is where I go…
