Merlin Sword Fighting Headcanon

You know the headcannon where Merlin knows how to use a sword and turns out that he’s basically a master because of how much training he does with Arthur.

I think that it would be hilarious if he was only able to beat Arthur. Not because he’s skilled with a sword but because he knows Arthur’s every move. He’s been practicing with him for years, he’s bound to anticipate the next strike.

When it comes to any other knight though, Merlin has no idea what to expect. Because he doesn’t know them like he knows Arthur. When he spars with any of the other knights he loses, but when he spars with Arthur he wins in 2 minutes tops.

Imagine Arthur making him fight all of the round table knights and then him (maybe as some kind of punishment for being in the ‘tavern’). Merlin loses to each and every one of the knights. Arthur has been calling him names and poking fun at him as he does.

The tables completely turn when it’s Arthur’s turn to fight him. The knights gather round to watch as Arthur struggles to surprise Merlin with his attacks. Merlin even manages to get in a few jabs before he disarms Arthur.

Merlin brags about it for a week at least and Arthur sets up a private sparring session with him so he can become less predictable.

if there is a fic out there like this please tell me

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I hate it when people say Merlin and Arthur are black cat × golden retriever (respectively), because have you seen Arthur?? That's the most cat-coded human I have ever seen.

He's weird about touching and emotions, he's bratty and arrogant, and he thinks he can beat big scary monsters all by himself—exactly like those videos of orange cats attacking bigger animals.

I headcanon him as a pretty blond cat whose owner spends a lot of money on him, basically living like The Aristocats movie.

And for Merlin, he's a frail-looking street dog that someone thinks is so adorable and takes pity on him, so they adopt him.

He's friendly, loyal, and his owner swears the dog doesn't bite (he hunts 'bad' humans and sometimes eats their flesh), but his owner doesn't know, so it doesn’t count. Also something about Merlin still waiting for Arthur to return for 1500+ years is too similar to Hachi the dog who waited by the train station for his owner until the day he died.

But in this case the dog is unfortunately immortal, so I guess he will wait forever.

⛔ Do not ignore, we are in grave danger

🚨 Help provide a tent

⏹️ Hello my friend, I hope you are well.

👉 The tent sank and broke due to the strong winds and rain water, and we are now in temporary hosting in a friend’s tent.

👉 We don't want clothes now, we just want shelter. All 24 family members are sick.

👉 A feeling of helplessness, cold, illness, pain, danger, and fear of tomorrow. I do not know how to describe the condition to you, but it is oppression in the truest sense of the word.

Merlin: why can’t you just admit your feelings?!

Arthur: Cause nothing can ever happen between us!

Merlin: you can choose to love me as much as I love you. It shouldn’t be up to anyone else. It can’t be up to anyone else. It can only be up to you

Arthur: *Trying to make a decision for Camelot* Merlin, if you were in my shoes-

Merlin: what do you mean if? I’ve basically been running this kingdom. You haven’t made a decision by yourself in the past three years.

Arthur:

Merlin:

Arthur: I’m gonna do it

Merlin: No you’re not

Merlin: Just because something is not perfect does not make it is any less worthy of love.

Arthur: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Merlin: You’re father made you believe otherwise. He was wrong.

This is possibly my favorite moment in the series. It’s just such a pure moment between the two of them. There should’ve been more moments like this. I could write a novel based on this scene and I will.

Someone needs to teach me how to make edits. I have so many ideas but no way of executing them. Please I need help and I am terrible with technology.

I would have made 100 edits of merlin by now if I only knew how to
