Merlin: Arthur? He doesn't even like me

Arthur, who gave Merlin his mother's seal, which isn't a proposal because you're supposed to give it to your spouse at the wedding: where the hell is my f*cking husband?!?!

Quick! While Merlin is randomly trending: I went to the Renaissance Faire this weekend and made a Merthur coin necklace!

Dragon for Arthur and triskelion for Merlin!

Two sides of the same coin and all. I was proud. I had to in depth explain this to my friend that I went with.

Merlin: I support women’s rights. *sees Morgana getting upto shenanigans* but I also support women’s wrongs. You’re doing great Morgana!

bbc merlin - 02x12 The Fires of Idirsholas

say what you want about arthur, but this guy did not waste a SECOND before 1. noticing merlin's wound, 2. getting all proud about it (even though he kept telling merlin to run away from the fight) and 3. ripping into his own shirt to tie off merlin's (not very deep) wound. so. yknow. my guy sure has speed (and a whole bunch of affection, too)

fellas does your boyfriend ever feel a little sad so you create an elaborate story that makes him think he's the chosen one from ye olde prophecies and you have everyone he's ever known stand around and clap for him

These are the tiny moments I love. It’s the way Arthur’s eyes don’t leave Merlin after he looks away. Not only do they not leave him, but you can literally see his eyes flick around Merlin’s face.

It’s a moment just for Arthur. To observe and appreciate his friend up close. He even does a little gulp as he’s taking in his side profile, his cheekbones, his chin. His Merlin.

Arthur loves Merlin. He was destined to.

omg omg omg

arthur gives merlin his mothers sigil thinking that hes going to die and wants to finally tell merlin how he feels and what better way of conveying the intensity of his emotions and how serious he is other than marriage? merlin accepts the sigil which means theyre married!! yay!! only. they both survive and arthur QUICKLY realizes that merlin has no idea the significance of the sigil. he has no idea theyre married. and arthur has no idea how to tell him bc then hell have to explain WHY he gave him the sigil aka WHY HE PROPOSED and now that hes not staring death in the face. he just. cant.

blah blah blah time skip to happy ending

the druids invite arthur and merlin to a celebration of the unification of emrys and the once and future king and the fruition of their destinies. merlin and arthur are excited bc finally peace is here and magic is returning and this can be the next big show of trust and reconciliation between camelot and the druids and so theyre there in the druid camp having fun when theyre approached and asked to participate in the ceremony. theres a huge buzzing crowd watching as the elder druid ties their hands together and goes on and on about the magnificence of two men standing before them and their great destinies and how the two sides of the same coin are joined finally as the prophecy said all those years ago. merlin doesnt realize it was a handfasting ceremony until hes talking to a few of the druids later on

anyway. merthur accidental wedding(s). now they both know theyre married but they dont know the other knows theyre married bc different ceremonies and traditions and all that. arthur is all awkward about it bc hes emotionally constipated. merlin is convincing himself he doesnt have to bring it up to arthur bc its not like the DRUID marriage ceremony is legally binding in camelot. they didnt sign any papers or anything. theyre not really married in camelot so arthur doesnt have to know. and then merlin can selfishly keep this truth close to his heart. even if its not reciprocated.

married life shenanigans ensue. merlin and arthur both have to physically stop themselves from calling the other their husband. jealous spats when out in the tavern or when visiting royals/nobles stop on by. leon knows all and is this close to snapping. extra protective idiots. and idk someone catches merlin holding the sigil and explains the significance of it or a druid asks arthur where his husband emrys is and my boy is STRESSED about being caught but then the druid brings up the handfasting ceremony. stupid idiot x stupid idiot.

you see my vision, right?

Just try not to think about how Arthur was probably waiting around for Merlin to join him in whatever you classify as heaven, and Merlin waiting around for Arthur to join him back on earth.

Both of them just waiting patiently, only for the other to never come.

[archrries]

arthur doesn’t notice merlin’s magic bc of the gay thing. arthur realizes he’s having Thoughts about merlin and decides the best course of action is to Repress and Ignore. the color of merlin’s eyes? why would arthur stare at merlin’s eyes? he’s not getting lost in them. arthur hasn’t ever looked at merlin, actually.

[archrries]

Arthur taking Merlin along literally anytime he goes on a quest.

[archrries]

And I’m obsessed with merlin being in the trunk

[archrries]

idk what this is
