#leon the Immortal

[theroundbartable]

Leon: one day you're gonna get me killed

Arthur: don't be ridiculous, it's not that bad

Leon:...

Leon, the immortal, shaking Arthur: stop destroying my dreams!!!!!

[runboybeneaththemoon]

Merlin: it's been over a hundred years since the fall of Camelot. Everyone I've ever known is dead

Merlin: except for this fucker

Leon: it is my duty to serve and protect Camelot. As you are still here, Camelot isn't completely gone, so neither am I

Merlin: No, I'm supposed to serve Camelot until its gone! Which it isn't cause you're still here! You're taking my job!!

Sometime after Camelot fell and Merlin and Leon discovered they were both immortal:

Merlin: does magic have a gender?

Leon: what…?

Merlin: do you think magic has a gender?

Leon: no?

Merlin: would that mean that i don’t have a gender? I mean, i AM magic

Leon: can’t you turn into a women?

Merlin: I’ve only turned into an old one, never tried turning into one my age

Leon: so you can turn into a women?

Merlin: yes.

Leon: so you can be any gender you want?

Merlin: yes?

Leon: yeah i have no fucking clue what you are

Merlin: damn, maybe in a thousand years there will actually be a label for people like that.

Leon: what? A label for magic being your gender?

Merlin: sure why not

This is so fucking stupid I’m sorry

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Sir Leon the Long Suffering is one of the best tags ever invented.

arthur is immortal in the same way merlin is immortal, he can die but he bounces back after a while. merlin putting arthurs body on a boat and sending him out onto the lake but not burning him as he did to lancelot and freya. merlin disappearing off the face of the earth, unable to go back to camelot where every stone is carved with arthur's name, every room holds the faintest echo of his laughter, the shadows cast by the flickering flames of torches match each line and curve of arthur's body which merlin had memorized after years of dressing and undressing him, wandering and lingering hands that were just casual enough to pass off as platonic.

arthur crawling out of the lake the night after the morning merlin put him to rest, dazed, confused, and alive. arthur searches for merlin but can't find him. he's disappeared. gwen rules camelot as queen, she lifts the ban on magic, and rules fairly. arthur is content to leave his kingdom with her as he searches the land for merlin. he visits every place he and merlin every visited but he's nowhere to be found. time passes but arthur only grows more desperate. he's sure he's searched every inch of albion twice. no merlin.

enough time passes, everyone he's known has died and he looks exactly as he did when mordred drove his blade into his abdomen. arthur is forced to admit to himself that enough time has passed that merlin was bound to have died, leaving arthur all alone. immortal merlin is literally like chilling in ireland or some shit. but both immortal idiots are living in the same area and end up just missing each other. literally like end up holding the door to a coffee shop for one another but they don't meet each other's gazes bc they're busy mourning each other

You know what I really love that should be explored in even more Merlin fanfics?

Immortal Leon. Like, you've just got Merlin over there sulking about while he waits for Arthur to return. Then there's just Leon, living his best immortal life, doing the most randomest shit known to mankind

[tiredcowboyy]

Immortal leon looking after immortal merlin until arthur returns will never not be one of my favourite fic types

[escespace]

Leon: Ok. What's going on?

Merlin: What do you mean?

Leon: What's the matter? What's wrong with you?

Merlin: Listen, I know myself so you have to be a little more specific if you want a short answer.

[mandoriana]

Merlin to Leon at some point in their eternal lives:

Merlin: I was just remembering when Arthur and I were in a boring meeting and Arthur said, “There are 20 minutes left in over, that’s 4 times 5 minutes.” That’s how I got through the meeting, it’s how I get through my immortality, and it’s how I’m going to get through life.

LATE HALLOWEEN POST ummmm the vampire Luis and werewolf Leon grind never stops

(this one is from like september)

[erraticsketchings]

I spent way more time on one of these than the other. Bet you can tell which one.

[aspentreeonahill]

Leon: can you stop adopting everyone you find?

Merlin: I do not!

Leon: who’s that then?

Merlin, *who definitely isn’t hiding anyone behind his back* : … his names Daegal…

Daegal, *who is peaking over Merlin’s shoulder* : hi!

Leon: I let you keep Mordred and the dragon, no more.

Merlin: her name is Aithusa and she’s my actual daughter thank you very much!

Leon: THATS THE WORSE PART.

Modern Merlin Reincarnation Idea:

The knights, Gwen, and several other players from Merlin are reincarnated. Some more aware of their past lives than others.

Gwaine and Will, being two of them.

Long story short, both Gwaine and Will want their shit and their friends’ shit back from a museum and team up to steal it back, completely unaware that the other is also reincarnated up until the point Merlin and (an immortal) Leon catch them in the act of stealing from THEIR museum.
