Headcanon that Merlin keeps notebooks and writes down everything - everything - he wants to show and tell Arthur whenever he comes back

It starts off as a project. He writes down important moments, things he knows he will have to inform Arthur of if when he comes back, but one day, Gwen tells him a joke and he can’t help thinking it would have made Arthur laugh. It was a bittersweet realisation, so he wrote it down to share with Arthur whenever he saw him

Slowly, more jokes were added, and anecdotes, books he wanted to tell him about, plays and music he was sure Arthur would enjoy, and eventually films and shows

Sometimes, he writes when he particularly misses him

He keeps these notebooks on a large secondhand bookshelf, and tries to keep them in chronological order, although the earlier ones aren’t in the best condition after a thousand or so years, but he’s enchanted them to stay legible

It becomes a habit. He decides, subconsciously and superstitiously, that once he has filled the bookshelf, Arthur will return. Merlin does, and Arthur doesn’t. He buys a second bookshelf, and then a third

Finally, Arthur is back and Merlin excitedly showing him his collection and telling him there’s so much he has to share. Arthur is amazed, “you wrote all of this for me?”

Merlin realises suddenly how overwhelming it must seem. “It made it easier, not being able to share all these moments with you. It felt like I was sharing them with you in a way. It was like I was writing you a letter.” He shakes his head. “But you’re here now, it’s silly! You don’t have to read them at all. I can go over them and pick out the important parts, the things you’ll need to know and—”

Arthur stops him. They go through each book together. Merlin hadn’t realised how many good moments he had forgotten over time, and he gets to relive them with Arthur at his side, both chuckling along as Arthur asks questions, “you did what?”

They aren’t all nice stories. Merlin winces as they get to the wars. Arthur holds his hand as he recounts each loss of a friend, and Arthur hates to see Merlin grieve, but he’s glad that he made friends throughout his life because he couldn’t bear the thought of Merlin being entirely alone while he waited for him

But even if he wasn’t always alone, he was lonely. The notebooks proved as much, and sometimes Merlin still panicked if he woke up and Arthur wasn’t close. Eventually, Arthur slid into Merlin’s bed beside him, only to keep him calm. It was the best Merlin had slept since- well, he couldn’t remember

Sometimes one of them would wake up with nightmares of the wars and battles and deaths and wounds, and the other would hold them until they fell back to sleep. Merlin kissed Arthur’s forehead one night without meaning to and froze, but Arthur had only burrowed deeper and fallen asleep with a soft smile

“So that was the last book,” said Arthur as Merlin finished the final page

“Yes, I wrote that the night before you came back,” said Merlin

“I’m all caught up,” said Arthur. “There’s nothing more to say.”

“No, no more to say,” Merlin agreed absentmindedly

A silence fell over them. Who moved first, it was impossible to tell, as if they had both decided in the exact same moment that it had to be now, and they kissed, pulling each other close

“I love you,” said Merlin once they eventually parted

“I got that,” said Arthur, gesturing to the pile of notebooks surrounding them. “The longest love letter in history,” Merlin laughed before Arthur added, “I love you, too”

Edit to add: the last show Merlin wrote that they watched together was Heartstopper, thanks

It is December at last, and I remember your words. “Thank you,” you said to me, and perhaps I should have known then; to take it and let you go. Maybe if I had, all those years ago, I would not be so miserable now. It is December at last, and I stand by the lake; still, you are not here. And somehow… I understand.

It is indeed December. Y’all know what that means!!

(Pain. Nothing but pain)

I had to make a tribute to the finale for once. I have no excuse as to why I ignored the past few anniversaries, but this year felt right, somehow. Like letting things go, like hoping again. Even if things can feel a lot more hopeless. Consider this piece a vent of sorts, but projected toward a fandom that kills and heals me constantly.

I hope you guys enjoy your holidays! Stay safe, stay warm. Always hope.

Merlin: *frowning* Morgana, why am I in a dress again? Not that I mind too much, but why?

Morgana: *humming* Father is being a right bastard and won't let me go to the midnight ball unless Arthur goes too.

Merlin: Okay...that doesn't explain why I'm in a dress.

Morgana: *brushing Merlin's hair* Arthur needs a partner, and you my dearest, are going as his date *smirking*

Merlin: WHAT!?

Want to share an excerpt from one of my wips for no reason Pt 5(?):

As he neared the place where the chirps were coming from, he heard someone else's voice too. 

"Back, you beast! I will not hesitate to run you through!"

With a furious roar, Merlin burst through the trees and used his magic to push the attacker back. 

The man flew through the air and landed in a bush. 

Merlin lowered his hand and turned to the dragon who was looking at him with curiosity. 

"'Thusa!" Merlin exclaimed delightedly. 

Aithusa shrieked and happily bounded over to him, bowing once before leaping on top of him and blowing smoke over his face. 

Merlim laughed, swatting away the smoke with his hand. "It's good to see you too, 'Thusa." Merlin struggled to sit up with Aithusa still on top of him, but managed. "Say, you haven't seen Lancelot anywhere, have you?"

With another happy chirp she skipped over to a pile of bushes and dragged out the man Merlin had thrown back with his magic before and blew smoke on his face too. 

Lancelot coughed as Aithusa helped him sit up. "Wha'?" He looked around dazedly.

I imagine Immortal Merlin to be similar to the Doctor. I think maybe he tries to be alone for a decade or so a few hundred years in, sick of constantly having to say goodbye, but as much as it breaks his heart, it’s worse for him not to have anyone at all. He gets too lonely

So he starts to make friends every time he moves somewhere new. It always hurts to leave them behind when he has to go, but he does whatever he can to help them before he does, so that he knows they’ll be okay and happy even if he can’t see it for himself

Sometimes, he even falls in love. That’s the worst. People fall in love with him, too, and he hates to break their hearts, but he knows that staying will mean watching them die. They’ll be happier with someone they can grow old with, he thinks. He never forgets them

Imagine an Age of Adeline moment. Merlin’s out one day when someone shouts his name. He turns and an older man is coming towards him. He recognises him immediately. Merlin remembers him much younger, how he used to dance all night at the local club. Now he’s using a cane to walk. How long had it been? Fifty, maybe sixty years?

And he recognises Merlin who hasn’t changed at all. He dresses differently now.

“Merlin,” says the man, mesmerised. “You haven’t aged a day.”

“Sorry, I think you might have me confused for someone else,” says Merlin, hating how easy the lie comes.

He wishes he could ask if he was happy. Wants to know everything he missed, but he doesn’t know how

“Oh,” he says, sinking back sadly. “You look just like someone I used to know.”

And then he leaves, and Merlin goes home, takes out a dusty photo album, and turns to a photo of the two of them, arms around each other and pints in hand, and wipes the tears from his face

Headcanons of Merlin and his magic

(And other magic and merlin related stuff)

Merlin’s magic makes him warm to the touch but he’s always cold

He always got sick when he was young because his magic couldn’t fit inside his body so it made him ill to cope

Being a dragonlord gives him certain immunity to regular fire and complete immunity to fire spells

He unconsciously knows how to speak languages of the old religion and used to speak it frequently as a child

He's immune to any harmful magical spells

His magic didnt only make him immortal, but when he became fully realized he stopped ageing

Animals (predator and prey) dont react to him because they see him as part of the core of nature. To them, he's as natural as wind. He had to actively tone down his magic to make them react to his presence, he does it unconsciously now.

He can shapeshift into any animal

He likes spicy food.

He hates hunting not only cuz he hates killing innocent animals but because he could feel the magic leave the animal and return to the earth.

He used to bring back animals to keep as pets when he was little. Hunith had to draw the line when he brought back a bear. Bears arent even native to Essetir!

Merlin can feel the difference between magic that died and magic that left.

Everytime magic was purged from a magical area it would store inside Merlin until it could be restored to the land.

Magic is kinda like energy, it cannot be created or destroyed but transform into one form or another and Merlin is basically every converted magic that had no one where to go

"We can't—"

"Why not?"

"Because, if I let myself kiss you—"

"Merlin—"

"If I do, I'd want you endlessly, to have you always, to have all of you but I can't. We can't." – Merlin and Prince Arthur

[It's not always easy being friends with a prince with whom Merlin shares a destiny with]
