another arthur returns au. merlin is sad and In Love so everyone he meets hears about this blond guy who insulted him for ten years and makes merlin sob everytime he talks about him and hears about how he 'left him' and how he's 'waiting for him' and they assume arthurs a really shitty ex boyfriend and merlin is delusional, traumatized, and whipped.
when arthur returns he has to deal with various verbal attacks form people who think he's merlin's ex and is just so confused.

merlin’s secret being a visual thing. when he is around arthur or gwen or leon or morgana or [insert whatever character here] merlin seems pale and thin, almost like a ghost or an apparition. when the sun lands on him he reflects it like a corpse, he eyes seem dark and dull. he has this ethereal beauty to him, this otherworldly visage that leads many to believe he is of fae blood. he just doesn’t seem to be 100% human. but when he is ONLY with lancelot or gaius (cough or gwaine bc gwaine DEFINITELY knew) merlin is heartachingly human. merlin shines in the sunlight, colors are brighter and more vibrant around him, and his smiles are wide and his laughs are boisterous. he takes on color and leaves everyone wanting to know him. but when other join in or interact with the two, merlin shifts before their eyes so quickly and suddenly that they aren’t sure whether or not what they saw was a trick of the light. the idea still leaves them wanting more and wanting to see the merlin who is just so full of life but that merlin only appears for a small select group of people. merlin who has a guard so high that it has an effect of other’s perception of him.
#arthur is absolutely steaming about this btw#he so desparately wants to be in the golden bubble around merlin in those moments#but his mere presence seems to pop it#hes fuming#its not until after the magic ban is repealed that everyone gets to see the glowing golden merlin#and they finally realize what the trick of the light was#merlin who is magic incarnate who (no matter how hard he tries) cannot fully repress what makes him him#arthur who finally gets to be in the golden bubble and its so much better than he ever couldve imagined#merlins magic is finally able to roam free the way it only could with a few people#merlins magic who absolutely adores arthur and is constantly reaching out for him even if him and merlin arent in the same vicinity#lmao arthur bringing up how merlins magic likes to card thru his hair and ease any sore muscles he may have#and lancelot and gwaine going ‘wtf? what about my muscles and hair?? merlin hates me?? merlin is playing favorites???? jail.’#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur#subtle magic my beloved#visibly Strange merlin my dear#idk i was thinking about pre-magic reveal!arthur watching merlin and lancelot talking and then pouting and going#‘why doesnt he smile and look at me like that? :(‘#and then post-magic reveal!arthur having a moment of realization and going#like ‘oh hes hiding a huge part of what makes him him. i only know half of my best friend.’#and then setting out to know ALL of him bc arthur and merlin are soulmates and in love and two sides of the same coin and best friends and-#im going thru my drafts and finding so many banger posts#idk why i never posted them LMAOO

Merlin telling Arthur he’s so repressed that they’ve both nearly died for each other countless times but can’t even hug him, and Arthur being like WTAF, we’ve hugged, Merlin. You smelled like a bog, and I remember it clearly because it was the greatest moment of my life. I even pressed my nose into your muddy neck IN FRONT OF GWAINE.
Arthur’s upset that their hug was so meaningless to Merlin that he forgot it, and Merlin swears he will get revenge upon Morgana for stealing it from him.
Still no one talks about the magic because it’s BBC Merlin.

Lancelot? How’s Merlin?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, but what the fuck is this scene?
It makes sense from a fun “TV show” perspective, but in the actual context of the show? Not a damn bit of logic for it.
So what? Lancelot and Merlin catch up to Arthur and the knights, and before they go meet up, one of them is like “hey I’ve got an idea” and they decide Lancelot is gonna go in first, make it seem like Merlin’s died while he hangs back behind the wall, and dramatically reveal himself on cue?
That makes so little sense in reality. I mean, imagine it from Merlin’s POV. He’s just standing against the wall, waiting as he hears Lancelot trick Arthur into thinking he’s dead? To have a fun “gotcha” moment? What??
Arthur was literally worried he was fucking dead. This isn’t a little “oh he didn’t want to come” or “something got left behind but surprise here it is” kind of joke. I’m honestly surprised Arthur didn’t get pissed off because that is a cruel joke to make. He was probably too relieved that Merlin was alive to even register what happened. If it was the other way around, Merlin would not have been happy.
I’m so confused as the actual character reasoning for this scene. Like, it’s a fun TV moment, but why on earth would Lancelot and Merlin think to do that?
This is literally just a set up to the “no homo” arm pat Arthur gives him because stars forbid he actually hugs Merlin. He puts his arm kind of around him when they walk off screen, but yeah the guy who spent two days in a guilt ridden depression? Yeah he’s not gonna hug his friend who narrowly escaped death really tight or anything. That would be gay!

I know we poke fun at Merlin only knowing three spells, especially the one that just yeets people, but uh, that is actually pretty terrifying??? Whenever we see other sorcerers do it, it's more of a nonlethal method, more or less pushing someone over real, real hard to give them more escape time. But if Merlin is actually killing people with that alone (Agravaine, the Saxons) then how much force is being inflicted on these people?? Primary blast injuries are almost all internal. There wouldn't be any external injuries to show the severity of their wounds. Autopsies obviously weren't a big thing yet, but what do you think their insides looked like?
Less "he just knocked them over."
More "he probably just liquefied several of their internal organs."
imma be honest, i didn't know that, so now i'm a little terrified of Merlin's power

What would you do if your own abilities caused you to hurt Nathan?
Emrys felt several emotions filter through him at once.
Anger at the noface for even suggesting that he would hurt Nate.
Shame for knowing that his temper meant his control was limited on the best of days.
Sadness because he knew that would mean the end of their friendship.
The phoenix fidgeted with his blocker bracelet, feeling his rage and hurt and pride boiling under the surface.
“I never would. But if, and that’s a big if, I did I don’t…” The memories of a young boy jumping in front of him and a gunshot made him flinch. Never again he had sworn. “I wouldn’t survive this time…not after last time…”

arthur dragging merlin to training bc he needs a training dummy and who better than an actually dummy (no, merlin, arthur cant train with the knights bc. bc. bc they’re busy. IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT HES THEIR PRINCE/KING AND THEREFORE WILL DO WHATEVER HE SAYS-). merlin picking up on both defensive and offensive skills bc sometimes arthur needs to spice up training and doesn’t need a shield to hit but another sword. arthur and the knights being beaten and tied up but their assailants leave the serving boy free to serve them instead. but it’s not like merlin can just use magic in front of them so he bides his time until he’s able to get his hands on a sword to use against them. they don’t take him seriously (hahaha what can the lanky, wimpy serving boy who was hiding behind a tree during their quarrel do with a sword thicker than his body?). merlin using the skills he developed during training and while studying under gaius as physicians apprentice to strike at just the right spots to absolutely obliterate them
