Made to Love you (How Could You Bring Me Pain) Chapter 3, is now up!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61048987/chapters/162112093

This chapter fought me every step of the way but it's finally done and I hope you like it.

As always thanks to @starlight-kestrel for the prompt.

I'd also like to give a special thanks this chapter to @theroundbartable for fueling my merlin learning sword fighting brainworms.

They inspired a certain scene in this chapter so thank you for that:)

Heed the warnings in the tags before reading as they've been updated.

Enjoy!

I feel like you'd appreciate this concept ->

Merthur but 27 Dresses (2007)

Arthur as Jane Nichols

Merlin as Kevin (Malcolm) Doyle

Gwen as George

Morgana as Tess Nichols

Lance or Gwaine as Casey

Open to opinion, it came to me in a dream last night. 😄

So, I just watched this movie and YES, this is such a good idea!

I'd say Casey is Gwaine rather than Lancelot, because of how chill and horny she is XD

Does that mean, Merlin's boss is Gaius? I also love the idea of Arthur doing everything for Gwen, which makes sense if it's Gwen, although less if it's Arthur because Arthur is not the serving kind. I'm also not sure how to think about the dress situation because men usually don't have as many options as women do. I would LOVE to see Arthur wearing dresses or drag to the weddings.

I also am questioning Morgana as Tess, because as much as she resembles her, I sort of can't imagine her lying to Gwen. I would like to suggest that the marriage isn't blown up in the end, but that Arthur just sort of - bombs the wedding to confess to Merlin.

In all honesty, Arthur IS that romantic, but probably much more secretly than Jane is.

So yes, it's a really, really good idea. :D Are you planning to write this, because if so, sign me up ^^

Arthur: Please don’t tell anyone, but I think i’m a little bit in love with Merlin

Leon: ??

Leon, who genuinely believed the two of them had been married for the past ten years

Leon: Oh

Ooooooh. Fascinating

Something something, a necromancer revived Camelot soldiers to take over the world. His biggest success is to revive King Arthur to make him his personal shield.

Then he tries to revive THE Merlin...

...

He doesn't know Merlin is still alive.

Do you know when Arthur talks about leading a raid on the druids? I can’t remember which episode and I need to rewatch for totally not fanfic related purposes

Not me having to deduce the answer to this question by mere association because my brain's weird...

So, Arthur talks about this with Merlin really late in the series, when they accidentally stumble over the remains of that druid site. Arthur is acting weird and distracted all over the episode, so he's initially not much of a focus.

The focus is Merlin and then Elian who gets possessed by the well spirit.

I believe this to happen in season 5, because of how dark the episode was. However, Elian dies in 'the dark tower' and every episode prior to that is focused on other aspects of the series. Ergo, let's look at season 4.

Season 4 episode 10: a herald of a new age. That's the one.

Foreign princess: wow, Arthur, how are you so strong?

Arthur: I keep hauling my manservant around

Princess: ...♂️♂️??

Arthur: ...

Arthur: no, not like that!!!

Arthur + Protecting Merlin

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, uaing the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

[theroundbartable]

Strength - Courage - Magic

[theroundbartable]

Also, Merlin could have said the same thing without blaming magic for it.

'Arthur, she's doing this to provoke you. She's a sorceress. Her family was killed. She spent her entire life working for revenge. And what would be better revenge than a son killing his father?'

Arthur: this man killed so many of them! How could I ever forgive him

Merlin: you don't. But this will scar you for life, Arthur. You deserve better than this

Arthur: it is my duty to protect my people

Merlin: and you can do that without killing him. Without torturing yourself.

Arthur: after everything he's done -

Merlin: he was betrayed too. By magic. He lost his wife and he was grieving and he blamed magic for it. He thought he was doing the right thing. He thought he was protecting his people from the same mistake that he made.

Arthur: how can you defend him? How can you -

Merlin: I'm trying to protect YOU, Arthur.

...

When Uther said: "you've proven yourself a loyal ally in the fight against magic," this is what he meant. Except that Uther thought Merlin was genuine when he called Morgause a liar.

I feel like despite how angry Arthur was, he really wouldn’t have killed his father. Like yeah he would’ve whooped his ass, but he has such a big, soft heart that he wouldn’t’ve been able to stomach killing his own father no matter how angry he was. Just like how he couldn’t really hate Morgana after all she did. Just like how he forgave Gwen for her (perceived) betrayal with Lancelot (who Arthur also respected even after everything was said and done). Just like how we all can agree that no matter how angry Arthur is at Merlin for his magic, he would never execute him.

Its literally written into Arthur’s character that he is too trusting and too caring - it’s his fatale/character flaw that is used and abused time and time again. Therefore I don’t believe he would’ve killed his father in s2ep8 the sins of the father. He still holds love for his father - its his father after all, he may be enraged but love and hate are two sides of the same coin, a double edges sword, to hate is to love.

Anyways, all this to say, Merlin should’ve trusted in Arthur’s heart and let him release all that anger and heartbreak onto his father who Arthur probably would’ve ended up just challenging for the throne then throwing him in the dungeons or pushing him to abdicate under the threat of him renouncing his title as prince of Camelot and his claim to the throne.

Your dilf!Merthur designs are PERFECT, I would love to see more of them if you’d care to draw them again 💖💖💖💖

I will love to even make a comic about them! Just imagine the possibilities, not only the comical aspect but the *drama* (I need to schedule my work flow since I'm working on another comic). While we wait here is this with a probably too old looking Merlin.

[theroundbartable]

I disappeared again I’m sorry!! I had massive art block for I think 2 months on and off, but I’m back and getting more art done now! So here’s Voltron fanart, an oc I’ve made :) purple paladin (how original..)

Did I miss details on the suit? Yes, do I care? A little, but I’m too tired to fix it 😄 I also gave the helmet slight cat ears because I can

[theroundbartable]

Gwaine: come here buddy *kissing noises*

Leon: urgh, please don't

Gwaine: *smek*

Leon: !

Gwaine: *smek*

Leon: !!

Gwaine: how are you doing that out loud?

...

Merlin: Just a little smth for good luck? *Jokingly makes kissing pose*

Leon *internally*: wait, I know what this is! Merlin knows I'm not into him, so this is a joke. I should play along so this doesn't get weird

Leon: *smek*

Merlin: 0.0 ??????????!!!!!

Leon: wait, I got that wrong didn't I?

Arthur:

Disclaimer: this is me. Leon is me. I've done this.

[theroundbartable]

The original is already good, but the way you play with the dark colors in the redraw.... Damn O.o

Using shadow often ends with washing away the details, but I've been staring at this piece forever and still find little nuances.

It's really good!!!!

HIDING

Looks who's back whaaaaa. I've missed drawing these two so much and now they just ended up being the perfect subject for a warmup that's also a re-draw (of sort), because the old piece never stopped bugging the living daylight out of me.

Enjoy some Merthur (finally) <3
