Merlin: *slowly removing his neckerchief*

Arthur: *sending Merlin a scandalous look* What are you doing?

Merlin: *confused* Uh, removing my neckerchief?

Arthur: Why?

Merlin: Because I can?

Arthur: In public? In front of all these people!?

Merlin: ...yes?

Arthur: *grabs Merlin's arm* Not on my watch idiot. Let's go.

Arthur drags a confused Merlin towards the castle, muttering to himself like, "must protect smol idiot" and "indecent manservant behaviour, unbelievable."

How Morgana got Arthur to indirectly confess his feelings to Merlin...

Merlin & Morgana : [ hiding in Arthur's bedroom as he sleeps ]

Merlin: Are you sure this will work?

Morgana: Trust me, it will. [ throws a pillow on Arthur's face ] Wake up!

Arthur: [ jolts awake ] What the- Who's there?!

Morgana: [ uses magic to alter her voice ] Arthur Pendragon, Albion is in danger. People in Camelot will perish and the dark forces will destroy everything you hold dear.

Arthur: [ terrified ] Oh my God...

Morgana: You are our greatest hope, the one who can save us all. We are counting on you to help us.

Arthur: Okay?

Morgana: All we need to know is...

Arthur: Yes?

Morgana: The truth. Do you love Merlin?

Arthur: What? No!

Morgana: Don't lie, boy! Even a blind man can see it! Now speak!

Arthur: F-Fine. I love Merlin, so much. For a long time now, but I don't think he feels the same.

Merlin: (๏_๏)

Morgana: YES! Err, I mean thank you. You may sleep again. [ discreetly leaves with Merlin ]

Arthur: That's it? [ waits for a reply but no one answers ] Hey, did I save the world or not?!

Morgana: Arthur's an idiot. [ nudges Merlin ] He's YOUR idiot, though.

Merlin: (｡･ω･｡)

[merlinemrys]

remind me to write a mergwenthur fic where merlin and gwen have to pretend to be nobles who are courting for ~some reason~ idk idc but arwen’s together and arthur begrudgingly agreed bc merlin is the only man both he and gwen are okay with doing this façade and arthur has zero belief that this scheme will work bc he’s never really seen merlin court anyone and gwen—while she did have a crush on that awkward country boy when he first arrived at camelot—doesn’t know how merlin would fair in stuff like dancing and romance bc she also hasn’t seen much of him be romantic!

cut to a dance scene where merlin blatantly flirts with gwen and gwen’s all flustered and giggly and wide-eyed bc oh dear gods he’s so attractive and he’s so charming and you have arthur in the corner or whatever swallowing his tongue bc he has never seen merlin act with so much confidence, like he was born to charm his way into people’s lives and he realised he can’t even feel a single ounce of jealousy bc he wonders what it’d feel like to be the object of merlin’s affections.

and when arthur and gwen are alone, gwen admits, her hand coming up to the base of her neck where merlin’s touch lingered, “i didn’t think he’d be so good at courting.” and then she fumbles, continuing, “not that i thought he’d be bad at courting—it’s just that i rarely ever saw him—oh goodness. you know what i mean.”

and arthur laughs and tucks a lock of her hair behind her ear before tipping her chin up. he thinks of merlin and gwen on the dance floor, twirling beautifully and capturing the attention of everyone around them while they only had eyes for each other. “merlin’s full of surprises.”

annddddddd idk i never thought of anything other than this ngl

And

30

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

thank you so much, I shall answer these prompts NEOW

21: Fics you wish you could find more of?

Oooohhh more fics involving Gwen, that's for sure. When she's written right she's one of the strongest, most relatable characters imo, 'cause all she wants is for the world to be right and just and kind and everything wants to prove her wrong, but she won't back down from her views. I would also adore more Elyan, just in general. And complete rewrites of the show 'cause the one I'm reading right now is so good I might do one as well. Also modern au's where they're all like secret badass spies or smth, 'cause those are so fucking cool (i am accepting fic recs for ALL of this, please feed me y'all)

24: Everyone knows that fandom doesn’t like uther but what are your feelings about gaius?

I think 1) we need more concrete info about how he was when he was younger, but 2) i think he is severely complicated and wanted what was best of merlin and morgana, but failed the two while also giving them a ton of love. With morgana, he just didnt want her to pursue her power lest she become uther's next victim, cuz gaius cares for the pendragon siblings like his own. With merlin, he was just trying his best with his overpowered nephew, who alos has a destiny regarding his people's genocide's son, and he just doesn't know what to do half the time, kinda like merlin. I didnt like how he lied to merlin n morgana, how he gaslit her and how he made merlin hide and become so anxious abt his magic (and we see what that looks like season 5), but i get it. I really get it. I dont know what i wouldve done if one wrong move could mean the death of two kids he considers his own. I bet he was scared all the time and hated himself for it.

27: Modern Merlin headcanons, if any?

OH BOY. OHHHH BOY. So many. It really depends on what au i have for modern merlin, but I'll give you a few generals:

he's a teacher of sorts; i like the idea that he's kinda collecting magical anomalies and teaching them how to understand their powers and being, since he knows what its like to be afraid of urself, so he's a personal magic teacher. I also rly like my magic elementary school au, since its merlin teaching magic to a bunch of kids, which is adorable

he has officially one cat, a black one called Midnight, that accidentally became immortal along the way and now hes severally attached. I say officially since hes also friends with any other animal that he might come across and they recognise him if he passes them again. disney princess fr

he's figured out his gender and he can turn into a woman if he wants; she looks exactly like merlin, same height, same weight n muscles, the hair is longer cuz merlin likes it that way and her voice is deep and gorgeous

his favourite weapon is a staff or any long distance fighting weapon of the sort; also he looks cool as fuck fighting with it, but thats just a bonus

I'll stop here but i have SO MANY MORE

30: Side character death that makes you the maddest?

Elyan. There was, quite literally, no need for it. I was gonna say Lancelot, since we did not get enough of him, but his death made sense for his character. Elyan? What the fuck was that? It was just for pain and nothing else. What did it add to the story if not just a sad funeral scene and thats it? It just felt like they wanted him gone n found a way, and that pisses me off. I feel like him saving gwen and living would've given such a complex situation when she turns evil, 'cause what if she "confides" more n more in her brother, creating a rift between arthur n elyan, which then creates a rift between arthur n the knights, which would just isolate him further n make him suffer, which is what morgana wanted!! we couldve had protective brother elyan! I think i just wanted more knights in general.

Thank you so much for this ask, I yapped a fuck ton but it was funn

obsessed with modern au merthur fics where either merlins friends or arthurs friends havent met the other and only hear merlin/arthur say shit like “the idiot is so demanding” aka arthur likes to spoil merlin or “that prat cant even dress himself” aka i like to dress him 

but the friends think that their friends are stuck in a bad relationship/are unhappy but turns out their the happiest theyve ever been 

like idk what it is about it

#9 of random merlin prompts:

s04e09: Lancelot du Lac AU

Morgana/Gwen or… Morgana/Gwen/Lancelot

When Morgana resurrects Lancelot, things don‘t go according to plan. The plan was to have Lancelot seduce Gwen. The plan she is currently adjusting to is seducing Gwen herself while trapped in Lancelots body. Added bonus is the sufferingly noble knight plaguing her with his thoughts and feelings for Gwen and trying to stop her plan while battling for control over his/their(?) body. It would be much easier if he wasn’t as privy to Morgana‘s thoughts, feelings and deepest desires as she was to his.

Need more Merlin fics where Uther is just repeatedly trying to kill Merlin and Merlin just repeatedly keeps escaping and without fail shows up in Arthur’s room every morning like nothings wrong despite guards constantly chasing him

[bitsandbobsofwriting]

The List has been updated, Gang!!

A few have been crossed out, but to make up for it, I’ve added 7 new ones!!

Check which ones have been crossed out!

and to make things easier on y’all, here are the new ones:

58.     The Knights ask Merlin just how close he and Morgana used to be (which they all find incredibly weird because, bar Leon, none of them met Morgana more than in passing before she went batshit insane). They push him too far and he decides he’s sick of lying. ULTRA angst, FORMER Mergana :( Everyone is super surprised, especially Arthur, but also sympathetic, because they can’t imagine how hard this has been.

59.     Merlin is Tristan Du Bois’ son?? Making him Arthur’s cousin?? He came to Camelot knowing full well who he was, with the intention of killing Uther in revenge, but accidentally fell in love with someone (Gwen? Morgana? Leon?) and decided to give Arthur a chance. The Gang find out when they’re captured and the truth is revealed. Arthur isn’t too mad because his bestie is actually related to him!! :D

60.     Merlin as a very unsettling Guardian angel, revealed by Morgause when everyone gets captured.

61.     Really short fluff fic of Leon telling Arthur all about Igraine. Brotherly bonding and fluff :D

62.     The gang sort through Lancelot’s room a few days after he dies, and discover that he had a secret partner. Merlin finally reveals that it was him when they find a certain something in amongst the stuff, and everyone feels like shit because… he’s been grieving alone and no one knew. Super angst, but also a fluffy part two in which they save Lance (something to do with the Shade and very strong magic).

63.     Merlin taking a REALLY blasé attitude towards the magic reveal, in which the gang are talking about magic and how bad it is until he scoffs and goes “Y’all clueless, magic is common, useful, and loved everywhere except Camelot, you knobs”. Cue “… you grew up outside of Camelot, right? Can you do magic?”, which results in Merlin looking at them all dumbfounded, going “of course I can do magic?? I’m actually very good at it?? I use it every time I go home to help out my mum? Did you think I couldn’t do magic??!” and everyone is so taken aback that they just… leave that as it is.

64.     FREYLIN!! In which Merlin managed to save Freya, and after a few years of sneaking away to visit her every couple of weeks, finally decides Fuck Destiny and Fuck Arthur and Fuck Camelot and runs away to live with her. Merlin manages to lift her curse and they get married and build their perfect little home and have a very adorable child, but it all comes crashing down when King Arthur and his closest knights, one of whom is very badly injured, stumble upon their home. Magic!! Love!! Reconciliation!!

~

Let me know if these change any of your votes!! I am sorta desperate to write #58 at some point soon, but don’t worry, I shall finish #7, #49, and hopefully #32 and #48 before then!

Merlin/Doctor Who fanfic, where Jenny is Lady Vivian, Thirteenth is arrested for witchcraft (again) and River flirts with Uther to use her 'magic' lipstick on him, but Thirteenth's jealousy spoils her plan, and we get a scene of the two discussing their relationship in public while ignoring the impending danger.

[merlinemrys]

NOOOO i'm thinking about a post-camlann au with romantic merwen turned romantic mergwenthur 😭🥺 because merlin comes back to camelot after arthur dies and he and gwen struggle with their grief together. they get closer than ever before and navigate this new relationship, but they both automatically leave a space for arthur as if he were there. they both love him dearly and they love each other too and there's a moment when gwen says, "i feel like i'm betraying him." the again, goes unsaid, even though merlin told her that she was enchanted when she kissed lancelot's shade. she still feels like it was her fault. so then merlin takes her hands in his and kisses them tenderly and says, "the thing arthur wanted most in the world was for you to be happy, gwen. are you happy?" and it takes a long, long moment for gwen to answer. she reaches up and traces' merlin's features. "i am." they both miss arthur so much it's like a lost limb, but they love each other enough to make it through the ache of arthur's absence.

BUT THEN. ~magic~ beyond merlin's capabilities brings arthur back to life earlier than planned. but the twist is that while he's dead and in avalon, he watches merlin and gwen get together and he's surprised that he doesn't feel jealousy. just this... undefinable pang in his heart. because merlin's right. he wants gwen to be happy, but the thing merlin missed is that he wants merlin to be happy as well. and if the two people closest to him find comfort between themselves, he gives them his blessing. the only thing he really feels is loss. because he loves them—both of them—and he can so easily see himself slot in the spaces they left.

and then BAM! arthur's back in the living world (don't ask me i'm just here for the drama i can't do logic rn) and then he comes back to camelot and after merlin's various tests on his person, he's home. there's this tension amongst all of them because arthur knows that merlin and gwen are together but neither of them know that arthur knows, so they're trying to keep it a secret or fully stop their relationship which then makes them depressed because they do love each other. and then arthur finally snaps and says, "i watched you two get together in avalon! merlin, if you want to kiss her so badly, do it." and merlin and gwen look at him in shock and merlin's like, "she's your WIFE!" and arthur just rolls his eyes and pulls merlin by his tunic and kisses him. then he lets merlin go and says, "she is. and she loves you and, gods help me, i do too." and gwen comes up and links her hands with both of them and !!! happy polyamorous golden age <3

11

12

13

And

14

let's fucking go round two

10: Favorite character.

this is quite literally one of the hardest questions for me, 'cuz whenever i choose one, another one pops in my head and makes a good case for themselves. hmm. I might have to say, except for the main 4, freya!! i love her, theres so much potential there. Freylin is one of my otps, right after merthur, etc.

11: Random Knights Headcanon.

Without them ever meaning to, late nights at the tavern always turn grim and deep. It always starts loud and happy and chaotic, but then they get emotional or wistful or what have you. They're both so emotionally repressed (men) but also closer than any brother any of them may or may not have.

12: Random Merlin Headcanon.

He is deeply scared of the idea of being stuck in a cave filled with water, even if the water is just shin deep. He got a really bad scare once when he was a kid and it never left him, even when he knows he can save himself. It always freezes him up to the point where it becomes dangerous.

13: Random Servant Headcanon.

There's a few people that the servants consistently thirst for, and they do sometimes move their duties around so that one of them might have some more time with their crush. This crush list consists of: Merlin, Gwen, Elyan, Leon, Morgana, Lancelot, Percival. Gwaine isn't on this list much since he's actually a lot cornier than ppl think, and also cuz he will wingman you himself to his buddies, so theres no point. Arthur isnt here since a lot of the servants know him for too long and cannot feel nothing of the sort for him; also, everyone knows that hes terribly spoken for (gwen and merlin).

14: Favorite oc of yours?

Ngl, my Freylin kids LMAOOO. They're twins and so cute!! I'm still trying to choose names, but it's a boy and a girl. Also Freya bet on twins while merlin bet on just 1 bby, so he nows owes her money.
