#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!!

Leon my beloved!

Sketch of Leon as an archer at the Olympics

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

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.

Leon (1600s)

[that-nerd-who-writes-fanfiction]

Two immortals having lunch in the 21st century:

Merlin: Do you ever miss Camelot?

Leon: No. It’s nostalgic, but no.

Merlin: Really?

Leon: No laptops in Camelot. Or plumbing. Or hoodies, no comfortable clothes in general.

Merlin: No Geneva Convention either.

Leon: One of those mornings. Got it.

Merlin: It’s one in the after-

Leon: *pulls out a flask and adds it to his tea*

Merlin: Yeah, actually, that’s fair.

[captainfairygodmother]

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

[blubellion]

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.

[theroundbartable]

Arthur: you can't go out there, you'll die!

Merlin: no, I won't! I don't believe in death, so I can't die!

Arthur: Merlin.... Oh, goddamn it, Leon, explain to Merlin why this is wrong!

Leon: Sire?

Arthur: you can't seriously think he's right!

Leon: ... Well, I mean, I don't believe in death either and I haven't died yet, so his logic is kinda sound

Arthur: and how old are you, Leon?

Leon: 430-ish, I think?

*Gwaine walking past*

Gwaine: humans live for 400 years and already think they are Immortal *rolls eyes*

[hannahhook7744]

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.

leon lets merlin mourn for five centuries before picking him up by the scruff of his neck and dragging him with him to all corners of the world until he sees the familiar spark of life in his eyes. by then tho, merlin has latched onto leon like a damn octopus and they stick together for years (bar the occasional decade or two when the two cant decide on their next destination and fuck off to separate corners of the world). leon teaches merlin how to be immortal and merlin teaches leon how to properly live. they do the pranks that last centuries where they get portraits of themselves done in various eras without changing their appearances and only slightly altering their names, they know eventually someone will catch on and try to convince everyone but no one will believe them. they meddle in foreign governments for the fuck of it. leon somehow ends up as president of the us of a. merlin starts a cult in south america. merlin was on the oceangate submersible (too soon?). leon started the great fire of london (too soon??). anyways they happen to be walking together past the lake when arthur emerges. the first thing they do is take a 0.5x photo of him.

as a fan of the immortal leon hc, im watching bridgerton for the first time and fully have committed to the mindset that ruperts character is still leon just under a false name simply getting up to shenanigans while merlin is off doing something for the next 100 years. It really makes it so much funnier.

Edit: LEONS INTO MILFS????

Edit 2: LEONS MILF SCREWED HIM OVER???? Oh merlin is CACKLING while reading leons life update letter
