#ygraine saw will and lance pop up and went ‘tell me every embarrassing thing abt my kid ever’

Walk with me:

The last thing Arthur hears is Merlin wailing, he’s fully prepared to finally meet his mother, slightly dreading ending up with his father instead, really hopes whatever afterlife he’s in lets him watch over his living family, the regular stuff a dying dude thinks about.

When he nexts opens his eyes, it’s to Will handing Lancelot coin and his mother tutting at them.

“Boys, need I remind you that we’re dead and you can’t actually do anything with your groat?” It’s deadpan, but her eyes show her mirth. She’s beautiful, entirely different from that blasted ghoul pretending to be her.

“It’s the principle, Your Majesty.” And then Arthur was scowling.

“Did you bet on my death?!” Will shrugs.

“No, we bet on you being an arse even in your final breath. Guess I was wrong.”

Arthur doesn’t know who ruled this realm but he wanted to punch them. He wanted to punch the stuffy old tutor who told him the afterlife would be full of peace even more.
