I know it’s for plot sake and also very unrealistic how Arthur doesn’t realise Merlin has magic, many times, even if it’s right in front of him, and even if some of Merlin’s excuses are just so stupid and unbelievable that you should actually be a dollophead to not see it, but then you think about how much trust Arthur has in Merlin, how much he put him on a pedestal, how much reverence he has for him, that he believes him, even if Merlin says, “Look, there’s a flying donkey behind you.” (Arthur would turn around, no doubt there).

And then it just becomes cute: Arthur is adorable and besotted with his manservant. That’s it. That’s the reason behind his obliviousness.

Merlin “I would betray myself (magic) before I betray you” Emrys and Arthur “nor social norms, class divisions or even a life of indoctrination against magic could keep me away from you” Pendragon

Uhh this has been in my drafts for EIGHT YEARS

From the 2016 Coinelot Merthur Art Calendar, so if you were lucky enough to snag it way back then, you’ve already seen this! It was the art for August, so at least I’m posting in the right month? 😅

Witch *turns Arthur into a frog*: NOW SUFFER HAHAHA...

Arthur, calmly sitting on a leaf.

Witch: Huh? Aren’t you even a little upset?

Arthur: No, actually, for the first time, I think I’m happy.

Witch: wait no…You should hate it, you know, this was to make your life hell...

Arthur: My father was Uther Pendragon.

Witch: I know, but…

Arthur: I was locked in a tower with a teacher who beat me whenever I made a mistake… I was only 2 years old.

Witch: But…

Arthur: I was sent to the battlefield as soon as I turned 10, and sorcerers have been trying to kill me since before that…

Witch: 😰

Arthur: I’m happy being a frog.

Witch: Bu-but…

Arthur: Shut up, im a frog now 🐸

im not a fan of modern merthur but the idea of them meeting in modern times and introducing themselves to each other and them laughing and bonding over their names being connected to the myth of king arthur and camelot is just so cute

Merthur prompt (inspired by another prompt I saw a while back)

Merlin accidently drinks a love potion meant for Arthur and now he's in love with some court lady. Everyone else thinks Merlin is just being a silly little guy(tm) with a silly little crush, but Arthur immediate drags his besotted manservant to Gaius demanding to know what's wrong with him. They figure out what's happening and bring the court lady to Gaius's chambers for more information, but she doesn't know anything beyond the potion was to make who ever drank it madly in love with her. Trying the age-old cure, the court lady and Merlin kiss (because Merlin insists that *she's* his true love), but of course it doesn't work.

Cue everyone in the castle/lower town lining up to kiss Merlin (Gwaine is first to volunteer) while Arthur just silently seethes in the corner trying to justify his feelings of jealousy as somehow platonic. Whether out of exasperation or some soft sitting-by-the-fireplace scene while Merlin waxes poetically about love and heart break, Arthur realizes things. They kiss and the spell is broken. He then has to splutter out a bunch of excuses to explain to a very confused Merlin why their faces are inches apart and why he can't remember anything after sneaking some wine earlier.

Everyone accepts that the potion must of worn off and that's why Merlin is back to normal. Now if only they could figure out why Arthur blushes every time he looks at his manservant...
