Merlin Prompt/Idea:

Arthur calls a meeting of his inner round table (those that sat with him at the table of the ancient kings) except Merlin. He also tells everyone else not to tell Merlin. At this meeting they decide that Merlin will have a seat at the Royal Round Table.

Why is Merlin getting an official seat at the official and highly sought after Royal Round Table?

Because Arthur wants to marry him, of course!

This is step one to getting all the stuck up nobles to except Merlin as Arthur’s choice of spouse.

Does Merlin know that that’s Arthur’s intention with his appointment? No.

Does Merlin know that Arthur wants to marry him? No.

Does Merlin even know that Arthur has feelings for him? No.

Is Merlin increasing frustrated that he keeps getting excluded from half of the inner circle meetings despite gaining a seat at the official one? Yes.

Is Merlin going to give Arthur a piece of his mind once finds out that this entire roundabout thing was just a plot to get him as his husband? Undoubtedly.

Is Merlin going to be completely badass and show his capability as “queen” despite not knowing what’s going on? Absolutely.

What are the next steps?

Rating: Explicit

Fandom: Merlin (TV)

Pairing: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon

Summary: When you realize your feelings for your soulmate, their name is naturally burned into your wrist. Arthur is in love with Guinevere, so when Arthur's name burns into Merlin's wrist, Merlin decides to hide it from Arthur so as not to confuse his lovelife.

i want the "if its merlin it cant be wrong" applied to everything, not just magic. like, if arthur came back and discovered the bro-talk of calling something gay as an insult, then one day was like "thats so gay, merlin" if merlin tripped on his feet or something and merlin would just freeze, slowly turn around and be like "how tf did you know" and arthur would have an existential crisis, like 'gay is bad. but merlin is gay. merlin is not bad, so gay can't be bad.' and then *insert gay ass internalized homophobic arthur subconsciously trying to woo merlin in the modern era*

Okay but what if I snap and write a full-fledged fic of Arthur becoming king in s1 and how it could have changed the entire course of the show.

[peaceheather]

Arthur grew up around both homophobia and pride parades. As such, he's been trying to be a good ally in school while avoid being ridiculed by his father for allying.

When he finally goes to study law at the local (but like, prestige) university, he meets Merlin and his friends. Like normal students they talk about their lives at a party and Arthur mentions who his dad is and Merlin is outraged because he knows who Uther Pendragon is. During the next truth or dare, Merlin (to test Arthur), dares Arthur to kiss him.

Arthur is flustered and asks him why and Merlin says "to see if you're all talk." So they kiss and something in Arthur clicks.

It's not that it's Merlin who does it he's sure, it's just the kiss itself that irreversibly changes him. After the party, Arthur confesses to Merlin that he's confused now and if Merlin would like to help him figure out his feelings.

Merlin, medicine student and hobby fassade climber also known as Emrys on the street, and openly hater Uther Pendragon, agrees.

M: I always wanted a secret closeted boyfriend

A: you don't have to be so sarcastic

M: no no no. I'm serious. I like break and entering and to piss off homophobic dads.

A: break and- never mind

To Arthur's shock, Merlin is very good at break and entering and sometimes he just suddenly walks around in the Pendragon mansion into Arthur's room, a stolen coke from the kitchen in hand.

It would be a lie to say Arthur didn't complain. But the bickering pales because he also fell brutally in love with Merlin.
