So this is the moment that Arthur chose Merlin over his father.  No, really.  I mean, I know Uther was all poltergeisty and tried to kill Gwen too, and Percival for that matter.  But it was Merlin who was about to get the business end of a sword.  And Arthur basically said: no.  No to the last vestige of his father, no to the hope of seeing him ever again, no to ever gaining his approval.  And yes to Merlin.  Even cutting off Uther in the middle of what he was saying.  Because Arthur was done, though it killed him.  And Merlin knew what Arthur was giving up in that moment.  He’s not crying for himself, he’s crying for Arthur.  For Arthur saving him.  For Arthur chosing him.

So yeah.  I like this moment.  This is a good moment.  And one of my favorite episodes of Series 5, for so, so many reasons.

Merlin in the show: *has a crush on Nimueh* *has a crush on Morgana* *has a crush on Gwen* *has a crush on Freya* *makes friends instantly with everyone* *walks up to an armed man on day one and insults him to his face* *finds out he’s the prince. starts another street fight with him next day* *calls the heir of Camelot a prat to his face, every 30 seconds* *allergic to common sense*

Arthur in the show: *99% of the time only shows interest in women when enchanted* *resists getting married no matter how beautiful or politically-advantageous his proposed bride is despite being willing to do anything for Camelot* *tells Merlin he’s the only friend he has and that he couldn’t bear to lose him* *gives Merlin his mother’s sigil* *goes on a picnic date with Gwen and proceeds to tell her about his dream of running away to a farm with Merlin* *cannot flirt to save his life* *walking embodiment of daddy issues and emotional constipation* *had no real friends until Merlin came into his life*

Fic writers: …

Fic writers: anyway, Merlin is a gay, insecure and friendless loser, and Arthur is a bi but practically-straight, suave, confident and popular jock
