#merthur vibes

[theroundbartable]

Everyone who thinks Merthur is enemies to lovers has been thoroughly misleaded.

They looked at each other, went straight over marriage and kids and for the rest of the series were like: we've been married for 50 years, I will complain to you about my husband/wife and we do fight a lot, but if you touch him, I will murder you.

two sides of the same coin or smth…

imagine arthur waking up after centuries & stumbling into a new world only to find a merlin who doesn’t remember him, but still wears his wedding ring around his neck as if it means something.

5.07 ⋄ A Lesson in Vengeance

[cinnabon-sweetroll-tiramisu]

I imagine Merlin and Arthur are married in the future, with Arthur living his dream of being a farmer and Merlin helping out sometimes but mainly Merlin be gardening and baking, sometimes mixing ingredients in his cauldron when he needs to restock on healing potions.

Then Arthur will go in town selling wheat, eggs, and wool or sometimes the honey from Merlin's beehive.

They also have two cats and two dogs, the dogs help Arthur with the goats, sheeps, and chickens whilst the cats follow Merlin around at home sometimes catching mice or meowing (chatting) at Merlin.

I just like seeing them living a domestic married life.

Re-imagining one of my favorite moments from “And like the cycle of the year, we begin again” by katherynefromphilly

Chapter 21 “Slowly, silently, now the moon”

Arthur sat up on his cot, eyes wide in the night, watching each of the spheres pass overhead. Small rings danced around Saturn. Patterns of swirls decorated Jupiter.

“Amazing,” Arthur breathed, at the heartbreakingly beautiful magic above.

Like the meadow, he thought. Like the strawberries and the butterflies and the flowers. All that beauty. Pouring from Merlin’s hands.

i’ve honestly never seen a duo quite like merlin and arthur they’re just so extremely special and it doesn’t even matter if you view them as platonic, romantic, both, neither, who cares!! either way you can’t deny they’re soulmates. that bond is canonically unbreakable.

Merlin knew what the sigil meant.  

He hadn’t told Arthur. Well, truly, he hadn’t quite realized over the fact that Arthur had just handed over a noble sigil to Merlin like he actually meant something more than a manservant.

Then it hit.

The sigil was his mother’s.

And practically a marriage proposal.

Merlin hadn’t said a word after Arthur had handed it over to him, running his bare thumbs over the metal. He stared at it, the campfire’s flames crackling in the silence. Arthur waited beside him, but with Merlin’s silence, he gave a solemn nod and walked away.

He hadn’t told Arthur he knew what it was, and now he’d taken it as a refusal. Ridiculous prat.

“Arthur, wait.”

He’d stopped, from the sounds of his boots scuffing the dirt and leaves. Merlin swallowed hard, still staring at the sigil.

“Why did you give this to me?” he asked, voice carrying into the flames.

This time, Arthur was the one who went quiet.

After his whole speech, and for all his talk about taking the noble path with his own sacrifice—Arthur couldn’t say a single word about the one decision that would change the course of both their lives. Of the kingdom.

Merlin had proven his devotion to Arthur since the day they’d met, as much as the prat hadn’t deserved it then. And Arthur wasn’t the same selfish, hard-headed prince that he’d been, but old habits didn’t disappear overnight.

They were both stubborn.

But Merlin hadn’t put his heart into Arthur’s hand.

There was a soft clink of Arthur’s armor as he shifted, and he answered, “Because you’re a good friend.”

He turned away from the fire toward Arthur, mouth set into a thin line, jaw tightened.

“And the truth?”

Arthur crossed his arms over his chest and lowered his chin to avoid Merlin’s gaze.

“Arthur.”

“Because, of anyone, you should have it,” Arthur snapped, eyes blazing as they reflected the firelight at Merlin. His glanced at the sigil, voice quieting. “I want you to take it. Please.”

Merlin tightened his hand around the circular sigil. “And if we live, after this?”

After a monster that was more likely to kill them both by the morning.

“The question will still stand,” Arthur said. Resolute. No room for maneuvering.

Merlin was adept at making room.

“What question?” he asked slyly, rising to his feet. “You haven’t asked me anything.”

The sigil had been the question, they both knew that. But where nobles spoke in metaphoric gestures and symbolic courting, Merlin had still been a commoner longer than a manservant. And if Arthur wanted him, they’d have to meet somewhere in the middle.

“Merlin,” Arthur sighed, biting his lip as Merlin strode toward him.

He stopped when Arthur’s breath caught, a hairsbreadth between them. He raised the sigil in his hand, holding it between them.

Arthur glanced at it, and then to Merlin. He leaned forward, almost as though he might…well. But he didn’t. He waited.

“Ask me,” Merlin said.
