Nobody watches the Merlin scene where Merlin finally gets to tell Ghost Uther it was him all along, with magic right under the kings nose and got away with it and is the same

Nobody watches the Merlin scene where Arthur pulls the sword from the stone and is the same

Nobody watches the Merlin scene where Arthur knight Mordred and is the same

Nobody watches the Merlin scene where Merlin breaks down because he thinks he’s useless without his magic and is the same

Nobody watches the “I have magic scene” and is the same

Nobody watches

me: can you imagine how much more powerful merlin would have been if they'd let him have colin's curly hair?

my partner: can you imagine how much more powerful he'd be if they'd let him have curly hair AND be irish??

me, nodding: you're so right. arthur wouldn't have died

them, overlapping: —wouldn't have died, exactly

POV you’ve informed the Queen and the Court’s Sorcerer of something and they very clearly know something that they’re not letting on

Arthur: okay, Merlin. I have a request

Merlin: *sighs* I'm glad you're starting to like my magic, Arthur, but I can't do everything -

Arthur: Make me gay

Merlin: ...

Merlin: like with magic?

Arthur: yes, with magic, Merlin, don't be daft.

Merlin: *annoyingly realises that that is actually possible with magic* why?

Arthur: Remember when you came out to me about your magic and I didn't take it well and you reminded me of how I couldn't possibly relate?

Merlin: yes?

Arthur: Good, because Gwaine just mentioned something about homophobic laws and for once, I want to understand what he meant before I try to change that law.

Merlin: ah. Alright then. If it's for Gwaine

Weeks later

Arthur, busting into Merlin's quarters unannounced: Merlin, I think your magic is broken

Merlin: hmm? What do you mean?

Arthur: It's not working! I don't feel any different! And believe me, I have tried-

Merlin: what exactly have you tried?

Arthur: *blushing* erm just... Normal stuff. Like... Like looking.

Merlin: looking. And you really don't feel any different? Don't want anything when you look at men?

Arthur: no! Yes, I mean- I- I feel the same as always.

Merlin *checks spell. Mutters something under his breath to check if a spell is in effect on Arthur*: nope, not my magic that's broken

Arthur: but-

Merlin: so? *Grinning* so nothing is different at all?

Arthur: *goes tomato red at the realisation* Merlin, I swear, if you're messing with me-

Merlin: *just laughs*

Arthur: oh god!

Merlin: if you ask me, that explains a lot about you

Arthur: Like what?

Merlin: The staring at the knights-

Arthur: I do not stare!

Merlin: you do. You also like men who are strong enough to push you around. Or, now that we're at it, just men who do push you around. You also have a consensual workplace relationship with your ex manservant.

Arthur: *sputterung* you're not insinuating that I would - with you-?!?!

Merlin: you tell me. I'm free by six, if you want to test that theory.

okay i get it “merlin is magic incarnate, it doesn’t make sense for him to not be able to perform healing spells” i get it! completely agree! HOWEVER let me offer this counterpoint:

the bit of healing magic emrys was supposed to embody was given to arthur instead. thats what kept him alive from magical threats for years before merlin got to camelot. he uses it unconsciously and thinks his expeditions/quests are just super lucky bc if his knights get injured it’s always something minor (because arthur’s healing magic seeps out into his men as well and keeps them from death). if someone were to get dangerously hurt, they tend to heal a lot quicker when arthur tends to their wounds. its so subtle that no one jumps to magic. it also kind of makes them yin and yang as the warrior set to oppose magic holds a morsel within and the embodiment of magic becomes a warrior to protect his king.

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? 😅

I redrew some Merlin characters to be more historically and culturally accurate! The text is their original names in a later Latin script, yoinked from a display in the Corinium Museum, Cirencester. (Sneaky edit to add: Y'all are incredibly welcome to use this in any way you want, I would love to see more of my home's culture being represented more accurately in media!!) (Also on Instagram)
