arthur returns but instead of just chainmail and armor he’s also wearing a shirt that says “I stayed in Lake Avalon for 1500 years and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”

Ya'all know the Merlin is turned into a cat AU. Now, get ready for... Not that.

Gwen and Merlin find a black Cat with blue eyes and decide to adopt it because it's so cute. Gwen makes fun of the cat by saying it has manners like Merlin. Merlin joins the fun by putting his neckkerchief around the cats neck.

Then Merlin leaves to have an epic sorcerer rap battle with Morgana or smth.

When Arthur finds the cat, Gwen is running after it, calling it 'Merlin'.

It takes a while but eventually, day 2 of absent human Merlin comes around and Arthur-I-know-magic-when-I-see-it-Pendragon connects the dots and now thinks Merlin was turned into a cat.

merlin fic where he accidently (or not) turns himself into a cat. decides he likes it a lot cause it gives him more freedom to move around and 'no thoughts head empty only meow' mentality. so he just goes around as a cat sometimes.

he also absolutely abuses the cat privilege to just knock shit off castle shelfs. stealing things from the castle kitchens. but most importantly absolutely annoying the fuck out of arthur whenever he's pissed off at him.

he will get into his chambers and bite him for no reason. steal food from his plate. arthur is confused as fuck and he cant really punish a cat. so he has just accepted that he has now developed a rivalry with a cat.

also, merlin as a cat is the sweetest to everyone else. he'll sit with gwen for hours and climb in her lap and purr. but the minute he sees arthur, it's like a switch is flipped. everyone else in the castle is Amused.

lancelot is the only one who knows its merlin btw. but he absolutely aids and abets merlin whenever he can. he will sneak him into arthurs chambers. or help him down from high places that merlin thought he could climb them but he actually couldn't so now he's stuck.

also, arthur sometimes confuses merlin with other stray cats. so he'll be seen looking at stray cats with suspicion and sometimes yelling at them with merlin laughing his ass off behind him

i still cant get over how bbc managed to cast two people who actually look so perfect together like they rlly took the whole “two sides of the same coin” thing to another level

sometime during season 2 merlin realizes how dense camelot is. he’s been accused and even confessed to sorcery multiple times and no one has believed him. even when aredian accused him of sorcery, uther was hesitant to execute him. UTHER was HESITANT to execute him after being accused of SORCERY. merlin gets accused of sorcery bc people think he’s put them under a love spell. he’s gone to arthur at the darkest of times and whispered how he could perform a spell to save everyone and arthur bites back that its not the time for jokes.

merlin realizing how stupid everyone is. he tests it a few times: he gives gwen a bouquet of flowers and tells her he conjured them with magic, she just laughs and thanks him for the flowers, mumbling about how funny and ridiculous he is; he joins the servants in their ranting over their jobs and says that he has a trick up his sleeve to complete his job…magic!! they ohh and ahh sarcastically and mutter how much easier their jobs would be if any of them actually could do magic; he tells leon straight up that he’s planning on killing uther with magic, leon just laughs, pats his back, and wishes him luck.

the whole city is so fucking stupid!!! merlin tests his luck further and blatantly commits acts of magic in front of people and they’re just like “:o how odd…oh well” and go about their day. someone comments on merlin’s eyes going gold and he’s just like “mmmmyeah my eyes just do that in the sun sometimes” and NO ONE questions it. he notices how people go out of their way to help him and they slip him things for free or just as gifts. he notices how much he gets away with with arthur and morgana and even uther. merlin spills a bit of wine and uther goes “i will never understand why my son insists on keeping you around” and merlin smirks and goes “i put a spell on him” and uther throws his head back in laughter

merlin doesn’t perform obvious acts of magic, he doesn’t yell out in the old tongue in front of anyone or whatever, but he gets away with magic so much and he knows that no one will ever truly suspect him or accuse him anymore (and if he is accused then it wont go anywhere, uther will just roll his eyes and wave away the accusation) so he just stops giving a fuck. he ends up helping morgana with her magic and is like “yeah this kingdom is so fucking stupid i wouldn’t even worry about it girl”

Many people agree that Arthur giving Merlin his mother's sigil was a proposal, and that leads me to two conclusions:

They didn't even date first. Arthur either decided in the moment that if he were to die, he could think of no one better to take his place--and if he survives, they could marry (having feelings for a while or realizing them in that moment and going with it) or was like oh shit I love him gotta marry right away.

2. They DID date, Merlin just didn't realize it. This of course, begs the question of when Arthur thought that they started to date

you've heard of "mordred has a cat", now get ready for "mordred accidentally turns himself into a cat and merlin has absolutely no intention of reversing it"

My downstairs neighbours have a cat named Merlin (after the bbc Merlin) and tbh that must be a really satisfying thing to name a cat. To spot it across the room about to do something it knows is illegal and go "Merlin,,," to let them know you know they know
