We're TRENDINGG for no REASONN just like god DECREEDD, so here are 5 fics that would steal your breath away:
1. My breaths are run by your compass by regulusrules. [T] [20K+] [post-camlann fix-it] [golden age but merlin stabs arthur in his heart first].
Not because it's my fic and it's genuinely so insane you won't believe it, but honestly, it's the best idea I've ever come up with, even better than the widely beloved my heart is readily yours. For me, it's the perfect continuation of their story, and the most unhinged plot twist you could find in a fic.
2. Half of my soul by @clockwrkpendrxgon. [G] [2K] [MCD] [golden age growing old together]
This fic is half of my soul, or what the poets say. It's so much better as an ending than what they've given us. At least this is filled with such golden love it makes you ache. At least this makes sense.
3. from hearth and ashes, we’re reborn by @remuscariad. [G] [5K] [canon era magic reveal].
This fic is so good you'll be on your knees from it. The prose, the characterization, the tropes used... it will linger in your mind and fester there from how beautiful it all is. And the art in it by @onepeppercorn... stunning.
4. Our broken pieces by @aramblingjay. [T] [10K] [canon era established relationship]
You can pry this fic from my cold dead hands. I will never stop recommending it until it gets the fame it deserves. One of the most beautiful fics ever written about them, and genuinely encompasses their characters so perfectly.
5. gentle as an early spring breeze by @prattery. [G] [2.5K] [canon divergence golden age]
They are alive and in love and we're all living in this fic because it's what they righteously deserved. The way their life was written here and the love between them... I swear this author could write anything and I'd kudos it before even reading it.

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.

once again, i am thinking about how they're literally the funniest people alive:
in the face of serious situations, what do they have? JOKES
bbc merlin - 03x06 The Changeling
only just about a singular braincell between them and it's mostly used for comedy (not that i'm complaining)

i call bbc merlin a comfort show as if it weren't frustrating and traumatizing on like ten different levels, didn't kill off almost every single character, and didn't have the most disappointing, devastating, unforgivable series finale i've ever seen.

"autism" and "BBC merlin" trending at the same time can NOT be a coincidence

Still like the idea of ghost Arthur haunting Merlin after Camlann.
Merlin: can't you just, I dunno, rest in peace, Arthur?
Some 15century medium: aren't you glad he's here?
Merlin: I am. He just also has 0 respect for privacy! i can't even lock him out of the bathroom!
Arthur: But what if you fall over and get hurt?!?!
Merlin: ... I am a 15 century old IMMORTAL sorcerer-
