#once and future husbands

Despite his worry, and the lifetime of evidence that supported it, Merlin’s magic did not wreak absolute chaos in the night. Instead, the magic had enveloped both of them in the cold Spring night and kept them warm.Nothing was thrown, no hurricane raged. Instead, they woke to find things exceptionally in their place--things folded much more neatly than they’d been left, squared away to a higher standard that even Arthur had ever aspired to.

When Merlin woke in the arms of his bonded other half, it seemed, he woke to peace and order he’d never have considered possible. Protected and nurtured.

I have a Arthur&Morgana manip on the to-do list from these posters because they scream Arthur & Morgana (especially the woman who has Morgana's colors - pale skin, red lipstick, attitude) in every way but I would lie if I hadn't toyed with the idea of Merlin(left) and Arthur(right). And that I scrapped the idea only because it would've been too much of an hassle to transform the woman actress into a man to fit Merlin/Colin. Ah ah. But good description!

Something something Merlin being Arthur greatest weapon and Arthur unknowingly holding him in chokehold something something Merlin being the greatest to ever live and creaving Arthur's crown and sword out of his flesh something about the way merlin gently touch him, softer than a feather something about Merlin's protective attitude toward Arthur who will strangle him towards his death something about Arthur standing tall in front of other and yet being on his knee begging for Merlin's devotion, drinking it until he drown

Charles has always left Edwin little notes slipped between the pages of his favorite books, in his science equipment, places he knows Edwin loves. Just silly things—post its that say “hi Edwin :)”. doodles of Edwin with his nose stuck in a book. reminders to stock up on wolfsbane. but.

Then, post canon, Edwin tentatively starts dating people. And it’s ridiculous, because Edwin’s right there, all the time, but Charles..misses him a bit. And his heads a mess, and he can’t sort out what the hell he’s feeling most of the time, and whenever he tries to say any of it out loud it comes out rubbish.

So. He writes down some of the shit he can’t say right, and because he’s a coward, hides them so he doesn’t have to see Edwin’s face when he reads them.

then Edwin starts writing back.

Neat lilac blue little envelopes appear in Charles coat pockets. In his bag. Once, in his shoe? Some nights, Edwin will clear his throat and mention something from a letter, offhand, like they’re just picking up conversation, and Charles can pretend they are. That they always have talked about the basement, the belt, the nameless fear that chokes him every time Edwin walks out the door with someone else on his arm.

Sometimes he can’t. The words get stuck in his throat. Edwin’s not mad, he’s maddeningly, stubbornly kind about it, which is worse.

Some nights they trade. A secret for a secret. Charles learns about the novels Edwin used to hide under his mattress, about all the lonely years before Charles got there. About Simon.

Meanwhile, Edwin is losing his mind, because Charles has accidentally stumbled onto what was a fucking courting ritual in his time. Love letters were something engaged couples treasured for years, kept and reread over and over. (Edwin does. keep them in a special box, will take one out and trace the words, tuck it in his breast pocket for courage).

Edwin would rather have to reattach a limb again than lose Charles trust, all the dark and beautiful things he shares with Edwin only. He knows—knows Charles doesn’t mean to make him fall more in love with him.

“You look like a startled stoat.” - Arthur Pendragon to Merlin, 3x05: The Crystal Cave

He says it as an insult, and Merlin reacts like it’s an insult. I have to say, it’s a pretty shit insult considering what a stoat is.

This is was a stoat looks like to those who don’t know:

Yes Arthur, you roasted him so good! He’s clearly so ugly and stupid looking for you to compare him to this disgusting creature! Just look at how hideous it is!

ADDITION FROM LOOKING AT REBLOGS/COMMENTS: I have been blessed with the perfect pictures to compare Merlin and the stoat. Behold!

Leonardo and Yuichi cook together as often as they can but Leonardo, being a morning person and a good househusband, is exclusively in charge of breakfast 🥞

(Hana got the Usahana nightshirt for Yuichi as a father's day gift because she thought it was hilarious. Yuichi also thinks it's hilarious but also very very sweet)

Also @threestripeslider ...yes (yes to all of your tags but especially to this one)

This.

And also why the Knight's lack of action in in A Lesson in Vengeance makes no sense.

“You would choose Merlin over your sovereign?” Frustration was present in his tone but it gave no indication of what Arthur wanted the answer to be.

So, instead, Leon told the King the truth.

“No, sire. We would choose Merlin because you are our sovereign.” Arthur was taken aback at that. “If we allowed any harm to befall Merlin, even by your own hand, you would never forgive us, Arthur.”

At once, Arthur knew Leon was right.

To this day I can't tell if

the spilling was scripted and it's all fake, down to Bradley pretending to wipe his hand - there's no liquid in the carafe.

the spilling was scripted and Colin actually got Bradley's hand wet.

Colin's mistake/blooper, Colin didn't notice he actually spilled what was in the carafe; Bradley was about to point it out (which would mean stop filming) but went "never mind" when he noticed that Colin wasn't breaking character/laughing/didn't notice

Colin's mistake/blooper, Colin didn't notice; Bradley managed to stay in character all the time so he didn't have the time to react in a "WTF Colin" way as Bradley but reacted first as Arthur would if this occurred.

Bonus point to neither Anthony or Katie noticing (which could side with option "spilling scripted").

See when I say there's no show like BBC Merlin, it's like... it's the little things you know....

For example, Merlin casually spilling wine (water?) on Arthur as he serves them. It's not a main focus of the scene and they don't pull any attention to it, yet it's so funny and so in character. Esp with Arthur about to say something, realising it's not worth it and just wiping his hand as Merlin continues serving, none the wiser

i love how basically every future! au i've seen has noah divorced from emma.

it's just so funny that, instead of having the two break up amicably after dating for a while and realising they're just not compatible/meant to be, most creators go out of their way to make noah this sad divorced man who fumbled his successful lawyer wife and ended up with the short end of the stick. yes! make this man pathetic and depressed! he's the saddest wet cat in existence!

The Full Moon episode made me relive the Loki ending, which made me relive the Good Omens season 2 ep 6 ending, which made me feel like I was Merthur'd.

[hakka84]

To be fair, they weren’t seen again in the following five seasons...

the thought of arthur walking around the market in the very first episode to ensure that he "accidentally" runs into merlin again is even more amusing once you remember those knights who had to follow him around. imagine you at last fulfill your lifelong dream of becoming a knight of camelot and then you come to work just for the prince to make you walk in circles for an hour and then finally stop so he can shout "how's your kneewalking coming along" and make blowjob innuendos. he's so embarrassing i would have quit and moved to nemeth

azul who is utterly obsessed with getting Jamil jewelry. Pearls sea glass diamonds aquamarine rubies- if it’s blue, ocean related, pretty, expensive, gold, red, and/or compliments Jamil’s complexion, he’s getting it for him. Azul knows how to budget but he is RECKLESS with spending for his boyfriend bc like, what do you mean that his BOYFRIEND. His darling. Angelfish. He gets whatever he wants

this leads people to believe that Azul has Jamil wrapped around his finger, bc “well he dresses up Jamil however he likes” but they are dead wrong. Azul is willinginhly completely under Jamil’s control and he loves it. He wants to help Jamil and is completely willing to be his little service boy if it means he gets to see Jamil’s greatness.
