Merlin: Please? For me?
Arthur : Don’t do that.
Merlin: Do what, Arthur?
Arthur : You think if you say, “please, for me?” and give me that look, I’ll do whatever the fuck you wa-
Merlin: Please, for me?
Arthur : ...Whatever you manipulative witch, fuck off.
I started watching Merlin under the assumption that I’d get some fun history nerd moments and that Merthur was just another fannon mlm ship with little canonical basis but HOLY SHIT I’ve literally seen cannon straight couples with less sexual tension than whatever the fuck those two had going on.
Maybe Arthur wasn’t stupidly oblivious to Merlin’s magic. Maybe he just couldn’t fucking see it because he’s had so many consistent blows to the head.
Merlin: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.
Arthur : But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.
Merlin: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??
Arthur : Is it working?
it’s really funny to think that arthur ditched his friends from the first episode because merlin came into his life.
like, yeah hes the prince destined to become a great king. yes hes had these friends for quite a while. yes hes going to forget their existence just because the peasant that barged into his life is too cute.
oh, i would love to hear more about the merlin caesar au, that sounds...interesting? honestly, i have no clue what to imagine for this
and most importantly, does it involve stabbing?
Aaahh you absolutely picked my favourite of them all! It was a fleeting idea that came to me two weeks ago (on the ides of march lol) and I wrote it down here pretending I'm a normal human being.
Turns out I'm not. It's an insane idea, and I developed it into an even more insane one.
And YES, of course it involves stabbing.
“I am in debt to you, Merlin, but I will not pay it with forgiveness.”
“You repay me with pain, Arthur— that’s all I've ever known from you.”
+1
“There is no knight who loves Arthur more than I do. I have borne witness to every part of his life, Merlin, and I'm telling you; what he is doing will lead to nothing but destruction. And I cannot love Arthur more than I love his Camelot.”
Is this line based on “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.”? Is the whole fic basically a culmination of my Shakespearean studies? A grand piece of so much love and betrayal? We'll never know.
you're in a castle with a magical boy, and he's telling you that you're a prat, and he's telling you that he loves you.
Huge bbc merlin fan. that's it. that's my entire personality.
