merthur love confession but make it river song style!!!

When you love the Doctor, it's like loving the stars themselves. You don't expect a sunset to admire you back! And if I happen to find myself in any danger, let me tell you... the Doctor isn't stupid enough or sentimental enough and he is certainly not in love enough to find himself standing in it with me...

River is Merlin. Merlin is River. Arthur is the Doctor.

#River is the blueprint for dramatic love confessions that make your heart ache #obviously the word choice would be different but!!!#merlin already doubts his importance to arthur #now imagine merlin being held captive or smth and arthur (and maybe the Knights) showing up to rescue him #MEANWHILE MERLIN IS TAUNTING HIS CAPTOR THAT ARTHUR WOULD NEVER COME FOR HIM #hes just a lowly servant #the king might be his best friend but he's been told often enough Arthur does not feel the same much less anything more than that #and merlin is quite alright with just admiring his golden king in all his glory and wit and courage and burning love for his people #you wouldn't expect a sunrise to admire you back #he's as dark and endless as the night and whatever his existence may be worth its nothing in comparison to Arthur's #who's mere existence pushes merlin into the background like the night retreats to mske space for the sunrise #anyway #SOMEBODY'S DO SMTH WITH THIS #i need a semi love confession from merlin to an outsider and arthur listening in #merlin bbc #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #merthur #arthur pendragon
