sometimes I think about Lancelot saying to Merlin "you're the bravest of us all and he doesn't even know". and then about Arthur saying to Merlin "I always thought you were the bravest man I ever met". so then I think about the fact that Arthur didn't even need to know about Merlin's magic to know how brave he is. and i cry a little.

Arthur sends Merlin on some job and wants him to take a knightly escort to keep him out of trouble. Merlin: I'll take Gwaine with me Arthur: I said "keep you out of trouble" not "guarantee you'll get into it". Take Lancelot with you, he's the least likely to commit treason with you Merlin: You say that like he's never committed treason with me

[therulerofallpotatos]

It's cool when Merthur fics go in depth on homophobia of the time plots but also if there is any medieval setting where you can have the King just decide to say "fuck social convention" and do what he wants its THE ONE WHO USED A ROUND TABLE FOR HIS KNIGHTS

We're pretty used to the concept by now but I dont think we always appreciate how batshit insane Arthur is. Or how crazy it is the amount of unthinkable stunts he gets away with. the magic was secondary to aurhurian legends when the real fantasy was a King who would and could radically change the system that kept the lower classes powerless and unseen

*merlins magic gets exposed in front of the knights*

merlin, magic user: oh fuck

arthur, finally taking this opportunity to pretend as if he just found out merlin has magic after agonizing for the past month on how to bring it up: you have magic?

lancelot, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic: no! i have magic

gwaine, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic, lover of chaos, ride or die: no, i have magic!

mordred, desperate for his hero’s approval bc no matter what he’s done emrys just stares at him with distrust and the poor boy is tired and so close to tears: no…i have magic.

percival, raised by druids and bonded strongly with mordred over that and does Not agree with the persecution of magic in camelot, had an inkling that merlin had magic but no proof: no. i have magic.

*leon and elyan exchange a look, elyan, amused and leon, exhausted, elyan shrugs*

elyan, knows how much gwen adores merlin and completely understands her stance bc merlin…is merlin, down to clown and put on a show, really playing up the dramatics: no! i have magic.

leon, exhausted, has known of merlin’s magic since he stepped foot in camelot, knows of his feelings for arthur and arthur’s feelings for him, knows arthur knows of merlin’s magic and wouldn’t harm him, thinks everyone is being absolutely ridiculous:

*the knights stare hard at leon and even merlin looks slightly offended at leon not jumping to his defense with the rest of the knights, arthur hasn’t said anything and is staring at leon expectantly*

leon, sighing: …no. i have magic.

Magical orb that puts a crime count on everyone's head (while Arthur is king), counting the crimes based on the established laws. (Crime count in brackets)

Gwaine (127): this is an outrage

Arthur(3): I am as distraught as you

Gwaine (127): no, no. You don't get to say that! I've worked my whole life on this crime count and I've got less than THEM?

Merlin (847): *crosses arms* protecting Arthur comes with a cost. What I don't get.... Is THIS!!!!

Lancelot (1084): I can explain

[nynevefromthelake]

Merlin and his ghosts

Last year work for a zine that I can finally post

[that-nerd-who-writes-fanfiction]

*post magic reveal*

Merlin: Don't panic, I have a few knives up my sleeve for situations like this.

Arthur, seeing Merlin in his natural habitat for the first time: Don't you mean tricks?

Lancelot, a bit too used to this: No, he doesn't.

Merlin, taking dagger out of his sleeve: No, I don't.

[universee-cityy]

Merlin AU social media - Merlin’s phone

[lesbicosmos]

there's an obvious answer

[runboybeneaththemoon]

[cryptid-wizard]

Athur: Has anyone seen Merlin?

Lancelot, fully aware Merlin is doing magic stuff trying to save Camelot: He’s at the tavern

Arthur: I just came from the tavern Gwaine said he just left to find Gaius

Lancelot: Gaius is at the other tavern

Arthur: there’s another tavern??

Lancelot: at the next village there is

Arthur: and Merlin went there

Lancelot: yes

Arthur: Because Gaius is there

Lancelot: yes

*later at the next villages tavern*

Arthur: has anyone seen Merlin?

Merlin, slightly out of breath: hi

Arthur: where’s Gaius?

Merlin: You just missed him

Arthur:

Arthur: is this a physician thing? disappearing right before i come in?

Merlin: *shrugs*

Arthur: ok fine come on we’re going back.

Merlin: ah ok i’ll be right out

*Arthur goes out to get his horse*

Merlin, to Gwaine and Lancelot hiding under the table: thanks

Gwaine: how did you two manage to not get caught this long

Lancelot: Merlin told everyone once, they didn’t believe him

[zikkou-san]

now cry

[thefabledpheasant]

Just want to say I’m utterly devastated that there are barely any interactions between Lancelot and Gwaine in the show. They’re two major side characters and both are Merlin’s best friends.

It’s a crime actually.

[justaz]

country bumpkin merlin not knowing anything about city life and accidentally courting arthur without knowing

merlin, watching gwen give lancelot her favor: why do you do that

gwen, heart eyes at lance and not paying that much attention to the conversation: so he knows i’m rooting for him

merlin, with an Idea: ah.

gwaine, lover of chaos, pisser offer of nobles and royals alike, ultimate wingman: merlin…you have such lonely lips. shall i introduce them to mine?

merlin, unaware of the game gwaine is playing: so you can steal my breath away? i think not, scoundrel

arthur, crushing his goblet in his hand:

merlin: arthur’s been in a bad mood recently :( i should cheer him up

merlin, remembering when arthur was put out when merlin brought morgana flowers and not him: i know just the thing

merlin, bringing a bouquet of carnations, roses, and tulips and setting them on arthur’s table while he’s eating breakfast: good morning, sire

arthur, trained on flower language in hopes that one day when he was to take a queen he could woo her easily, trying not to audibly choke on his sausage as he reads merlin’s declaration of love sitting in front of him:

arthur, who recently found out about merlin’s magic and was trying to find a way to bring it up, catching him in the act and watching merlin panic to explain himself:

merlin, Freaking: and i swear to you arthur, i have only ever used it for you. my magic is yours. my life is yours. i am yours. i would never do anything to harm you. i have protected you for years and will continue to do so at your side if you’ll have me

arthur, already believing them to be courting, desperately trying to figure out if that was a proposal for marriage or not but tired of being confused and deciding fuck it: here.

merlin, taking it: i…uh…huh?

arthur, watching merlin with hawk eyes and trying to figure out what he’s thinking and feeling: it’s my mothers sigil

merlin, confused as FUCK but is focusing on the fact that arthur is handing him something of his mother rather than a death sentence: my…my lord?

arthur, realizing how scared merlin’s must be about him finding out about his magic and trying to comfort him while also proposing, killing two birds with one stone: i will always keep you at my side, merlin, so long as we both shall live. if you’ll allow me.

merlin, almost collapsing with relief and tearing up, smiling at arthur as if he had parted the storm clouds to allow sun to shine down on them in that moment: of course…of course, arthur. always and forever.

merlin, watching the castle staff rush this way and that: wow. this banquet must be incredibly important

sir leon the long suffering, day one ride or die, one of the original merthur shippers: banquet? merlin, this is for your wedding

merlin, overworked and exhausted: my WHAT? to WHO??

leon, regretting everything he’s ever done in his life that led him to this moment: to…arthur?

merlin, over joyed but also absolutely befuddled: i’m getting married to ARTHUR?????

leon: you two have been courting for the past year or so, have you not?

merlin: i’ve been COURTING ARTHUR?????? FOR A YEAR?????????

[theroundbartable]

Arthur: okay, today is an important day. I want ideas, plans, concepts. Whatever you can imagine

Arthur: How do I propose to Merlin?

Gwaine: ...

*Pulls out a complete folder with drawings, propositions, required law changes, etc. -*

Arthur: O.O why do you have that?

Gwaine: oh, no. Don't worry, this isn't mine. We knights have had this for years, it was just my turn to make some additions

Arthur: *takes a look* ...

Arthur: why is the first thing on this list 'repeal the magic ban'?

Gwaine: oh, that was Lance's idea.
