An Attempt At Writing

BBC Merlin is basically about them systematically killing everyone Merlin ever cared about so he'd have no choice but to focus on Arthur, just so they could kill him too in the end

[my-heart-of-heart]

Just got back from supergirl and just one of the many things I loved about it was the way Kara said this man needs to die so he can’t hurt anyone else but I can’t let you do it out of revenge. I can’t let that weigh on your heart for the rest of your life when it’s already so heavy. Idk I’m just insane for the idea of that being how she’s a hero—telling someone you don’t have to carry this weight on your shoulders you don’t have to have this blood on your hands I will do it for you. I will live with knowing I’ve done something terrible as long as it means you don’t have to.

I like that Supergirl says it’s okay to kill someone’s abuser so long as you don’t let the thirteen year old do it and I like that Supergirl says vengeance will not solve things but neither will allowing a cycle of violence to continue

[catbayunthestoryteller]

And I like how Supergirl addresses the real issues and lets the girls be messy instead of "teaching her a lesson" that she needs to be nicer. She is not nice but she is kind!

so, arthur is extremely proud. as far as his character traits go, this is a pretty fundamental one. humiliation is one of his biggest fears, and the angriest he gets is when he’s been made to look like a fool (whether it be because he trusted someone who betrayed him, or if it’s suggested that he do something he thinks would be seen as cowardly, etc.). he hates the feeling of being embarrassed. probably the first instance we see of him being genuinely angry is in valiant (s1e2) when the witness dies before the whole snake shield thing can be confirmed and he’s accused of being scared to fight valiant so he yells at merlin for humiliating him, blahblahblah.

ten fucking minutes later though, LITERALLY the next episode, when merlin is in danger from the mortæus poison, uther has arthur imprisoned and instead of being concerned about the optics of being in a cell, arthur fucking pendragon not only begs for merlin’s life, he offers himself up to be put in the stocks for “a week, a month even, i don’t care.” he literally SAYS “i’m begging you.” pleading like that is already so against his nature, but volunteering himself for the most public possible humiliation to save a man he’s known for what, a week? i’m sick. he loved him that much already.

What if, after the Poisoned Chalice incident, Merlin hears about Arthur's acceptance of his little magic light, of his belief that someone guarded him through it, and...

Whenever Merlin needs to magic them away from some danger, or to lead Arthur somewhere, he just sneakily summons the light and - poof - it has Arthur's complete trust!

Bandits? Magic light ball knocks them out. A strange ravine? Well, magic light ball did it. They're trapped somewhere? Don't worry, Arthur would tell his knights, a magic light ball will rescue us.

It goes for longer than it should, years and years of mishaps and miraculous rescues.

Until Arthur asks the light ball to heal his father and sees Merlin's eyes lighting up when the ball touches the wound.

Merlin fic idea:

Merlin finally meets reincarnated Gwen, who introduces herself as Gwen Pendragon. Merlin's then like, "ok, so Gwen and Arthur have already met and gotten married. Cool cool cool. Definitely not heartbroken at all" but then reincarnated Arthur keeps flirting with him, and Merlin keeps rejecting him because he refuses to betray Gwen. BUT THEN Merlin gets invited to a party and Gwen says she wants to introduce him to someone then goes "This is Morgana, my wife" and Merlin's brain gets an error message.

just thinking about how "I want you to always be you" turned out to be a curse

all that remains

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

[maseratus]

Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.

@merthurmicrofic prompt for the week is "bruise" so voila - have some healer Merlin tending to Arthur's bruises/wounds. (A redraw of a 2016 piece) ☕Support me on Ko-Fi!
