[inalandofsadclowns]

At least Mary Collins got what she wanted and more. Cause the moment Uther assigned Merlin as Arthur's manservant, Arthur looked like he would have preferred death over Merlin. Now, Mary's revenge was on Uther, and Uther, instead of a dead son, got a son whose best friend and most trusted advisor was the greatest sorcerer of the land.

No matter how you look at it, it was a big win for Mary Collins. Just...so much more juicy and poetic than she could ever wish. Her soul probably rested in peace after.

Title: Pages on Spells and Magic 🪄

Tagging: @starrieisdelusional

Book references: Merlin Complete Guide and Merlin Villains Guide

Question: I'm interested in things related to the Old Religion, Fate, Destiny, High Priestesses, and Magic itself?

[thesorcerersshadow]

ooh, uther does something very interesting here. the execution committed is apparently on the 20th anniversary of the capture of the great dragon / around the time the great purge “ended” (though ofc it never really ended.) in his speech, he remarks how they ridded the kingdom of sorcery with the help of the people—and while the rhetoric may seem grateful and celebratory, there’s something underneath that, too, something says, you are all complicit, you wanted this, too. and then he declares a feast in celebration as a reminder: “sorcerers get executed=i will reward the kingdom.” (making morgana’s refusal to attend all the more significant.)

but mary collins interjects with her grief and swears she will get vengeance, because, of course, the oppressed class, those left behind in the wake of suffering, will not be so easily swayed by bread and circuses.

Merlin rewatch -- S1E1: The Dragon's Call

About Gwen

I love season 1 awkward Gwen so much. She so genuinely wanted to reassure Merlin but kept choosing the wrong word. She just had the purest “good” ora on her it’s amazing. Sadly Merlin and Arthur were too entranced by Morgana's beauty to notice her...

About Mary Collins / Helen

I like that Eve Myles played it very straight, not comical, not over the top. I also just like the fact that she cast spells via singing. There should be more villains like this.

A Perfect Storm by neptunesyellowsands and valisrt

Summary: Merlin winced, guilt stabbing him hard in the chest. He’d never killed anyone before coming to Camelot, and now he was losing count. Was it twelve, or fourteen? He’d only inadvertently caused Aredian to fall to his death. Was that still his fault? Did Mary Collins count?

Did Morgana?

Arthur and Merlin are on the same quest: to travel to the nearby village of Howden and resolve the month-long storm that has been tormenting the kingdom. But a heavy cloud of secrets hangs between them that needs resolving, too.

A little more of "The Dragon's Call"

Arthur: (at the feast waiting anxiously because Merlin is supposed to save him from "Lady Helen" to become his servant today and he isn't there yet)

Uther: Are you alright, Arthur?

Arthur: (too quickly) Yeah, right, excelent, never better.

Uther: You've been acting strange lately.

Arthur: (thinking) Well it's not easy to act normal around your dead father and your dead sister who wanted you dead. (says) I just haven't been sleeping well. I had... nightmares. Very long nightmares.

Uther: I see... (Thinking) I hope Morgana's condition isn't contagious.

Merlin: (Finally arrives with Gaius at the feast)

Arthur: (turns and his eyes find Merlin's almost immediately)

Merlin: (Thinking, while he looks at Arthur in the distance) Why is he looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?

Arthur: (Noticing Merlin is without his neckerchief, and he is so young and so beautiful, and he doesn't have his neckerchief on!) Gods have mercy!

Morgana: (enters in her breathtaking dress)

Merlin: (stares at her, but with a mix of longing and guilt)

Gwen: She looks great, doesn't she?

Merlin: (smiling sadly) Yeah...

Gwen: Some people are just born to be queen.

Merlin: (almost shouting) NO!

Gwen: There's no need to sound so disturbed.

Merlin: (composing himself) I'm sorry just... I think she could do better than Arthur that's all. (Thinking) And with someone that is not her brother.

Gwen: He's not so bad.

Merlin: (confused cause Gwen was supposed to agree with him) What do you mean? He was bullying a servant only a few days ago!

Gwen: I remmember. You confronted him about it.

Merlin: See? A total prat.

Gwen: And he also recognised his mistake and apologised. And he didn't arrest you for insulting him in front of his knights though that's technically treason.

Merlin: Okay, maybe not a total prat, but still a prat. (Thinking, worried) He was too nice indeed. Perhaps I was too harsh on him this time?

Morgana: (seeing Arthur is watching in Merlin and Gwen's direction) Have your eye on someone?

Arthur: (Cold) No.

Morgana: (playfully) Is it Gwen? or perhaps-

Arthur: Let's sit. Lady Helen will arrive at any moment (goes to his sit)

Morgana: ... Sure (thinking, while she goes to her sit) What's wrong with him?

Uther: (making an announcement) We have enjoyed 20 years of piece and prosperity....

Arthur: (thinking, resentfully) 20 years of genocide and lies.

Uther: ...It has brought to the kingdom and myself many pleasures but few can compare to the honor of introducing Lady Helen of Mora.

Lady Helen: (enters while people clap)

Arthur: (looks at Merlin in the distance)

Merlin: (very concentrated with his eyes on the chandelier, waiting for lady Helen to stand under it)

Arthur: (smiling to himself, thinking) So that's how you did it.

Everyone falls asleep, except for Arthur who does feel sleepy but is still slightly awake for some reason, so he gets to witness when all the room is filled with spiderwebs and Merlin uses his magic to make the chandelier fall over Helen, who is soon reveal to be Mary Collins.

Arthur: (confused) What... (thinking) Why didn't I fall completely asleep?

Merlin: (whose magic hasn't been able to freeze time since he traveled back in time, but he doesn't know why) Come on, come on! (Tries again to stop time but doesn't work) Damn it! (Shouts and runs to Arthur) ARTHUR!

Mary Collins: (throws the knife at Arthur)

Merlin: (covers Arthur with his body on time and the knife stabs his back)

Arthur: (horrified) NO! (Holding Merlin as they fall to the floor) No, no, no, no! You idiot, what were you thinking?!

Gaius: (running to Merlin) Merlin!

Uther: Who is this?

Gaius: My ward. (checks Merlin) We need to move him to my tower as carefully and quickly as possible. I can't pull the knife out here, he'll bleed to death.

Merlin: (smiling weakely at Arthur) I did it. (Tears of happiness) I did... (Starts closing his eyes).

Arthur: (panic mode) No! don't you dare die on me! (carries him as Gaius instructed) You're going to be okay, you're going to be okay. Stay with me (thinking) Please, don't leave me again. I just got you back. I can't lose you again.

Time skip. Merlin wakes up in Gaius's tower and with his wound bandaged. The knife didn't puncture anything important, but apparently the blade was poisoned. Fortunately, it was a pretty common one and Gaius took care of it rather quickly. Gaius scolds him for scaring him as expected but then hugs him gently and tells him he must not do any effort for at least 2 weeks and rest. Just as Gaius leaves for some herbs, Arthur enters to check on him.

Arthur: Better do as he says. I can't have my personal manservant injuring himself.

Merlin: Personal manservant?

Arthur: My father, the king, decided to reward you for saving my life by granting you a place at the royal household.

Merlin: (happy inside, but pretending to be annoyed) As your personal manservant? Couldn't he just give me gold or something?

Arthur: (playing along) Most would consider it a great honor.

Merlin: Well, I'm not like most people.

Arthur: (laughs a little) You certainly aren't. (Gets close and checks him out little, cause he's never seen Merlin without a shirt before and damn it! is hard not to stare, but as soon as his eyes land on the bandage, he turns serious) What you did was very brave... and stupid. You shouldn't have done that.

Merlin: (still mocking) If that's your way to say "Thank you for saving my life", well, yeah, I'm starting to regret saving your royal ass.

Arthur: I'm serious. Now you're my manservant, therefore my responsability and my concern. You're not allowed to put yourself in harms way, ever, not even for me. (Thinking) specially for me.

Merlin: (bewildered at the sudden concern) Is that a rule?

Arthur: It is now. Do I make myself clear?

Merlin: (touched, he smiles) Yes, my lord. (Thinking) I would die for you a hundred times over.

Arthur: (Thinking, a wave of nostalgia invading him) "My lord"... how much I missed that. (says) Good. Now get some rest (starts leaving, but stops and turns) And Merlin.

Merlin: Yes?

Arthur: Thank you for saving my life. (Makes a small bow, smiles and leaves)

Merlin: ...

Merlin: Did he just bow to me?!! 😨

...

Some explanation: Arthur is now, not immune, but a little more resistant to some mind spells since his mind is from the future and has already passed for all those spells before. Merlin's magic is kind of weak, because the ritual Arthur did used the magic from the tree, therefore Merlin's magic to do the time travel thing, so lets say his magic is a little exhausted and needs recovering, but it just last a few days.

Soulmate AU for Lynelda x Merlin, please??

@dancingsunflowers-ocs 💖💜💙

for some reason a vision just appeared before me of hanahaki au with them, but that is neither here nor there… for now. sneaky tagging @supermarine-silvally bc you asked to be tagged for bbc merlin stuff too <3

Merlin and Lynelda are basically (allegedly) unwilling soulmates, but if they were actually bound by fate:

somewhere in the void, the old powers decide that Emrys will need someone strong to stand by him, someone who could know about his burdens and help him with them (aka the ‘old powers give Merlin a bit of support’ au)

that little decision results in the stars aligning to protect Lynelda from Uther’s army without her mother having to sacrifice herself. but she disappears all the same bc the old powers are still allergic to happiness, Lynelda just grows up with less self-hatred

when Merlin arrives at Camelot and Lynelda bumps into him, she can’t help looking back even though she’s desperate to get to Mary Collins. Merlin meets her eyes and they’re both temporarily stunned by the sudden flare of gold/orange in each other’s eyes

Kilgharrah, on the other claw, feels a tremor in the air. something had triggered the first of many dominoes: Emrys and Caelia have met, and the wheels of fate are starting to turn

but to ensure that fate doesn’t turn sour, Lynelda and Merlin must make sure their relationship never does either…

give me an au + oc and I’ll list five things that happen to them!!

[sugar-coated-prat-dragon]

Title: Part #2 of Destiny/Fate (Merlin’s arrival and the threats to Arthur’s life are no coincidence)

Important: Merlin’s arrival also coincides with the beginning of a series of threats for Arthur (although in a world governed by magic, this is not quite the coincidence it seems; destiny has guided Merlin to Camelot just in time for him to protect the prince).

• Source: Merlin complete guide

@tansyuduri

First mention of destiny: When Mary Collins attempts to kill Arthur in revenge for her son's death at Uther's hand, Merlin uses his magic to save the day. To his horror, he is rewarded with the position of Arthur's manservant. Destiny is showing her hand.

- Merlin's presence seems to act as a trigger for Arthur's transformation from bragging brat to hero.

- Merlin's friendship and the situations that Arthur suddenly finds himself in bring out his true nature.

- He shows himself capable of great loyalty, of heroism and sacrifice, of honour and mercy — the qualities that will make him a truly great king.

Merlin Prompts

Merlin watches Mary Collins disappear with interest, but its too slow – Merlin invents disapperation 

[larluce]

How do I think this rewriting would go?

The Poisoned Chalice

Probably when Gwen finds out. While Merlin is in bed dying, she catches him doing the light ball in his hand. She's scared for a second but then she conects the dots: Merlin was the one who cured his father and he was telling the truth when he said he was a sorcerer at court. So she just keeps quiet.

Lancelot

She doesn't know how to approach Merlin with the topic, but she makes sure Merlin knows he can relay on her with anything and that he can trust her. While he's thankful, Merlin believes maybe Gwen is flirting with him, so he doesn't know how to take it, but then she shows interest for Lancelot so he lets it go. Before Lancelot leaves to sly the griffin Gwen insists he needs to bring Merlin with him, though she doesn't tell him why. Lancelot of course finds out later and keeps the secret as well. A Remedy to Cure All Ills

Seeing how Morgana isn't recovering, Gwen finally tells Merlin he knows his secret and begs him to use magic to safe Morgana. After Merlin is reassured by Gwen he won't be exposed, he tells her he really isn't that good at healing spells but he'll do his best. When Edwin arrives and cures Morgana, Gwen is suspicious of him. Later Merlin tells her Edwin is a sorcerer and she advices Merlin he shouldn't trust Edwin so easily. Merlin first takes offense because he thinks Gwen deep inside believes all sorcerers are evil, but then, of course he realices Gwen was right, so he bows to hear her more often.

The Gates of Avalon

They work together on defeating the sidhes and break the love enchantment they put on Arthur. Also Merlin confides Gwen Gaius supicious about Morgana being a seer. Gwen bows to be there for Morgana too. Also a space where Gwen conforts Merlin, because by this point he's killed 4 people (Mary Collins, Edwin, Sophie and her father) and of course he has conflict feelings about that. The Beginning of the End

Mostly the same, but Merlin reveals Gwen he's being talking to a dragon below the castle. She's shocked but goes with it. Also, when the dragon starts telling Merlin these things about Morded being Arthur's doom or whatever, she goes down there and gives the dragon a piece of her mind. And Merlin doesn't doubt as much to safe Mordred thanks to her. She also plants the seed of doubt in Arthur's mind by telling him "Do you think that kid really learned magic? What if he was born with it? He's too young". So Arthur starts questioning his father's thoughts on magic a little. Excalibur

Gwen gives Merlin Morgana's gauntlet to Orwain to put a protection spell on it or something in an attempt to save Orwain from the Black Knight but it fails. They both go reluctanly to the dragon for help and make excalibur. Arthur does fight the knight this time around, but Gwen manages to convince Arthur to give the sword back by telling him it has a "sentimental value" for her family or whatever. Arthur thinks it's weird but accepts it. Arthur watches as Gwen and Merlin go away chatting and laughing and he starts to be more aware of their closeness.

The Moment of Truth

While Gwen knows Merlin can perfectly defend himself and his mother on his own, Morgana and Arthur don't. So she pretends to be sick so Morgana doesn't leave. She has to be more creative when it comes to Arthur though, but she manage to delay his journey. When Arthur finally arrives to Ealdor, Merlin has already taken care of Kanen and his man with his magic. When Arthur asks around how did the villagers do it, they just say Ealdor is enchanted or there's some sorcerer in disguise that helped them or something like that, they themself are not sure, but they're grateful. Merlin is very touched Arthur came all this way for him thought, so he goes back with him to Camelot. Arthur starts to question his father's thoughts on magic more, because apparently, magic can be used for good too? The Labyrinth of Gedref

Don't know exactly what can change, but maybe some jealous Arthur of Merlin and Gwen's relationship, thinking they're courting, but Merlin clarifying him at the end that he isn't, saying Gwen is more like a sister, and maybe even implying he's more interest in men so Arthur doesn't have to worry. Not that is any of his business anyways. Arthur is relieved and overwhelm by the confession for some reason.

To Kill the King

Merlin conforts Gwen after her father's death and they become closer than ever. When Tauren attacks and threathens Gwen, the one he goes to is Merlin instead of Morgana. He lets her sleep in his room for the time being, which increase the rumors they're courting of course, so she's safe. He goes meet Taurent in her place and kills him and his man using the sidhe staff, so Taurent never consorts with Morgana. Morgana starts questioning Gwen about her relationship with Merlin, not demanding as Arthur but curious. She laughs it off and tells her they're just friends.

Le Morte d'Arthur

So remember the scene when Gwen talked to Arthur in his sleep and he was actually hearing? So add to it that Gwen also says something along the lines "you're going to be okey, Merlin is going to safe you like he always does. But, gosh I'm gonna miss him, I don't want him to die, so you better live a long life Arthur Pendragon". When Arthur recovers and asks Gwen about this, she just tells him he's being dreaming, but he doesn't quite believe her. After Merlin says his famous "Just don't be a prat" goodbye and then he doesn't show up, Arthur knows something's wrong so he tries to force Gwen to tell him the truth, he has the feeling she knows something. She explodes in anger instead and calls him out on how of a prat he is to Merlin, how he can't leave him alone even when his mother is sick and that he should be greatful he evens puts up with him.

That's it. I don't know about series 2, 3, 4 and 5. Maybe I'll come out with something later.

merlin rewrite where gwen finds out about merlins magic in s1. so gwen is always there with him whenever something magical happens. also merlin finally has good advice from gwen instead of just gauis and the gecko. gwen also just does things for him no questions asked.

like merlin shows up at her doorstep dripping wet talking about a serial killing merman, and she just goes and brings out a sword and says ok lets go. merlin wasn't even there to ask her to fight but at this point he'll get all the assistance he can get.

everyone in the castle thinks they're dating cause they're always together. and they both go along with it cause it gives them an excuse to wander the town or castle alone whenever theres a magical threat.

arthur finds them in an abandoned room making a salt circle and burning herbs in a bowl and they just go "we're on a date" and "this is how commoners have a romantic date arthur, you wouldn't understand".

[idaelen]

I always imagine that before Merlin became his manservant, Arthur went through a lot of servants. He'd fire his and get a new one at least once a week. He always found some reason they weren't good enough. Really he just didn't like they were all boring bootlickers. It became a topic of gossip and bets around the castle. "I'll bet ten coins this one doesn't last two days." "Two? He won't even make it til this evening!" Eventually they start running out of options, no one really wants to be the Prince's manservant, and he's gone through almost everyone available.

Cue Mary Collins, and Merlin saving Arthur from a dagger. Uther has a perfect solution to the problem of his son's manservant, and how to award this peasant boy for saving the prince's life. And Arthur can't fire this one because he was awarded the position. So he bears this horrible servant and complains about him constantly.

(Until he does fire him, and realizes he actually really likes this one. So of course he hires him again.)

[the-king-and-the-druidess]

Many still do not realise that Merlin poisoning Morgana did not save everyone from the curse (the sleeping spell). Everyone being asleep was not dangerous, the zombie knights were dangerous to Uther and Arthur if the latter still kept getting in their way.

The zombies were programmed to kill Uther, not everyone else, and it was a separate programming from the sleeping spell; Morgause programmed them first, at the beginning of the episode, and enchanted Morgana later.

But Merlin did not even try to find a way to deal with the knights magically (he, the most powerful wizard), he just decided to sacrifice Morgana to bargain with Morgause — their conversation was not about the sleep but about the knights: 'You dissolve the knights or your sister dies'. And that's why Morgana felt especially betrayed, not because her death and thus, lifting the sleeping spell, would have saved the people, there was no threat to the people in sleeping, but because Merlin traded her life to keep Uther's from the knights.

Morgause actually prevented the zombie danger to the people, the knights and she would have dealt with Uther while everyone was asleep(something like this happened in the very first episode, when Mary Collins used a sleeping spell). In Season 3, she no longer cared about this and therefore some innocent people got in the way.

[kissme-withyour-cherrylipstick]

Interesting. My explanation for the time stopping thing is a Doylian one: I think they put it in the pilot to hook people then stopped using it because they realized it made Merlin too op. Same with Mary Collins' poofing spell lol.

I think I like more the idea of Merlin becoming magic itself. Like as he waits for Arthur and all the other magical creatures die out and beliefs change and magic fades from the world, it all goes into him, a terrible burden he's forced to carry. Maybe when it all fades and he is the only magic left, that's when Arthur will return. Idk I just thought of this now lol

MERLIN HOT TAKE: Merlin is NOT magic itself. Not more than anyone or anything else is. Magic is a part of everything in the world and Merlin just has a stronger connection to it

Mmmmmm

I dislike this, BUT I can see how the show definitely underutilized Merlin's role as "magic itself" making it not seem as literal. The show was pretty inconsistent with what Merlin could and couldn't do and, whilst I have my own headcanons to explain why his abilities fluctuate like that, it definitely muddies the whole "most powerful sorcerer" role that he plays.

I like Merlin being magic itself, or at least for magic itself to be possessed by Merlin, if that makes sense. I feel like he really has that Chosen One's burden and just having him be more connected to magic than everyone else kinda makes that not make as much sense.

I like to think that stopping time and seeing Avalon are some of the abilities that Merlin is only able to do because he is magic itself. He is privy to these things. And I like to think that him being taught as though he were just any other sorcerer, actually hindered him in some ways. There was no spell for stopping time. He always just Did It. But once Gaius started his teachings and he got good at spells . . . He stopped stopping time. I feel like that kind of magic required a deeper connection than just understanding an incantation. Filing his magic into neat little spells constrained it in some way. Or at least that's what I like to think to explain why he isn't seemingly as powerful as they claim him to be.

[kateis-cakeis]

Maybe since Arthur was born of magic, then he inherited just a little bit of magic, maybe because he was born of love, just a little bit of soulmate magic to ensure his loved one (read: Merlin) will find him somehow someday and that's why Merlin is immortal. Thoughts?

Hiii, Anon :D (sorry for taking a few daysss)

I just love this ^.^ I especially love the 'maybe because he was born of love', that's such a lovely way to put it. I know the real situation is so much more complex (since it is heavily suggested Ygraine did not know) but Arthur was born of love🥺? let me live in ignorance for a bit :P

But these are very interesting thoughts.

Maybe the just a little bit of magic he inherited was the whole - the only times he really looked like he was gonna die is when the rules of magic said nothing would survive its touch (Questing Beast, sword fordged in a dragon's breath) (maybe a lil of his own immortality wink wink)

Anyhow the thought that 1) there is soulmate magic (which I guess there must in at least a fate and prophecy way because of Merlin and Arthur) and 2) that Merlin is immortal because he had to find Arthur regardless like

Because, Anon, like imagine a situation where prophecy got fucked, and Arthur died, and Merlin never met him. And then a thousand years pass, and Arthur comes back, and Merlin finally meets him. Like that's what I automatically thought upon reading your ask!

Imagine a fic with that concept where maybe like Merlin is a few days late to arriving in Camelot, and Arthur dies to Mary Collins. And then Kilgharrah calls for him like man, you've fucked up bro. And tells him of this new destiny, his new eternal wait. Man, now that's something I'd wanna read.

I like this, Anon. Especially working this thought into canon with like Merlin had to find Arthur because yes destiny, but more so because soulmate. Now that's so !!!!! Also extends maybe that's why Arthur returns, because Merlin being immortal can't be without his soulmate forever ;)

Love this, truly!

[oneirataxia-girl]

Lmao sorry, I was reading something else while also sending an ask and got mixed up. Cute character ask game + Lynelda

ahhh np np!! everyone makes mistakes <33 here's my dragon girlie Lynelda!! tagging fellow bbc merlin girlie @supermarine-silvally as well!
