@merlinbingo square fill: assassination
protective servant
Spoiled prince and "Dragon"
People kept leaving "gifts" to a creature in the woods believing that it will keep them safe in exchange for their gold and food, until one day it didn't seem enough, so they decided to offer him a royal blood
(little did they know that creature didn't need all the gold and treasures at all, but it still was funny to him that he kept silent, that is, until he was handed with the little prince...)
"best friend"
Found this gem in the comments of a short.
'morning's cold, you're hot, so the answer is clear' 'not to me, apparently'
for @merthurmicrofic ïž±"exile" ïž±2047 words
Merlin's barely recovered from the shock of hearing a polite knock on his very remote little cottage, when he swings the door open to find Arthur Pendragon staring at him. "I've been exiled," Arthur says calmly. "May I come in?"
"What?" Merlin wheezes.
Arthur seems to take that as invitation enough, shouldering past Merlin to enter. Dimly, Merlin notices he's wearing his long traveling coat, his sword at his hip, and a pack slung over his shoulder. "You keep this place just as messy as you did my chambers," Arthur tuts, looking over the humble interior of Merlin's cottage. His nose wrinkles in distaste as he looks at the dirty bowls on the table sat next to tinctures of bitter and poisonous plants, and Merlin's few articles of clothing drying on all the chair-backs. "Honestly, Merlin, what would your mother think?"
He swings his pack around, throws it down on the table, and begins to remove his coat. "I," Merlin breathes. "You. What are youâ"
"Please tell me you have some actual meat in this hovel," Arthur adds. "It's a very long ride from Camelot, and I didn't stop to hunt for fear that I wouldn't make it here before nightfall."
He removes his coat, folding it and putting it up on a nail that sticks out from a wall. He turns and looks at Merlin expectantly. "Well?"
"EXILE?!" Merlin shrieks. "What are youâ you're notâ how did you evenâ"
His magic is bubbling up inside of him, confused, hurt, and restless. If Merlin hadn't already checked that it is indeed Arthur standing in front of him, he'd have thought the man an imposter. "How did you find me?" he settles on, hands curling into fists in an effort to control his raging emotions.
"I didn't," Arthur says. He leans over, absentmindedly straightening a pile of scrolls Merlin left askew. "I always knew where you went."
"What?"
'morning's cold, you're hot, so the answer is clear' 'not to me, apparently'
A few things Iâve learned from watching merlin from Arthurâs pov, in no particular order:
1. Arthur is in love with merlin.
2. In Arthurâs eyes merlin really is the oddest, most clumsy little weirdo, and the only reason he keeps this apparently lazy and completely incompetent servant around is because heâs in love with merlin.
3. Arthur never ever thinks twice about situations. âThe immortal army that could not be killed suddenly explodes? Lucky me, I guess, letâs move onâ, or âI struck this golden dragon as big as a castle and it knocked me out. Merlin said I dealt it a mortal blow and it flew off and is now dead. Sounds reasonable!â or, âthis man who lives on a bridge called me Courage and said I needed Strength and Magic to complete my quest, and then later Gwaine and Merlin showed up and saved my life. Wasnât that a fun time?â
4. Merlin is Arthurâs only true friend.
5. Arthur thinks heâs the smoothest, most valiant, heroic and romantic knight in all the lands, but heâs actually the most heartbroken, lonely, pathetic prince with daddy issues Camelot has ever seen.
6. Arthur is so in love with merlin.
The real problem with accidental baby acquisition? Differing parenting styles.
(also the whole âour baby is magical but only one of us knowsâ thing)
Listen the Labrynth of Gedref is a great episode and all but why the hell did they give them the shortest table and some stumps to sit on?
Like how am I meant to lock in to the serious predicament when they're sat at the children's table at the family function?
NEEDđTHATđMANđPREGNANT *SEASON TWO* ROUND 3 POLL 26
TUMBLR! Who's getting pregnant?
Hua Cheng (Heaven Officialâs Blessing)
King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot (Merlin)
PROPAGANDA:
[Hua Cheng]
"He would do anything for his gege⊠ANYTHING!"
"Would feel absolutely honored to carry Xie Lian's offspring. Also would prefer to take the burden unto himself rather than have Xie Lian go through the pain of childbirth. P.S. Childbearing pills that cause male pregnancy canonically exist in this universe, so it is entirely feasible that they could conceive a child if they wanted."
Hua Cheng propaganda from last season
[Arthur]
"Because it would challenge his perception of manliness, femininity, and the validity of patriarchal systems. Also, because then he and Merlin can have a baby."
Honestly, it bothers me a little whenever someone says that Merlin betrayed "his people" because of Arthur/Camelot.
Merlin grew up in a small village where he wasn't very loved, with only his mother and Will, taught that he had to lie or someone else would hurt him because of something he was born with and had no choice about.
"His people" were Hunith and Will, no one else.
Let's jump to the canon: he was only there to become Gaius's apprentice. His first encounter with another magical being is an execution and a woman who utters a threat, zero extra context. Let's jump to his encounter with Kilgarrah, a dragon who tells him he must protect Arthur, an obligation he didn't sign up for, among all of this, the only one who said kind words to him was Gwen. At the banquet, the magical woman uses her magic to affect everyone, not just the one responsible for her son's death. He saves Arthur and gets another job.
"His people" are now Gaius, Gwen, Arthur and Morgana.
And Uther ends up in a border zone of "his people" only because he is important to Arthur, someone Merlin has grown fond of and doesn't want to see hurt.
The next magical people he meets are always trying to hurt or manipulate Arthur because of Uther's actions. He felt happy when he met that man who made Morgana sick, only for him to later take Gaius's job and try to commit murder.
The only good magical people he know end up dying in his arms, and in the end he only stay with the people of Camelot.
Lancelot, Gwaine, Lyon, Elyan, Percival end up being "his people", who now live in Camelot, a place they swore to protect.
It's like the great-great-grandson of your grandmother's second cousin suddenly appeared and demanded that you put him above all those you love.
Sharing one thing in their lives means nothing, when everyone's lives are filled with a thousand and one things they share with the people they love.
I am convinced Leon had a wall in his chambers that was covered with notes and drawings of situations that made no sense, of branches falling and enemies suddenly defeated. A red string connects different scenes and hand drawn portraits of everyone involved. To every picture he had to add the name, unfortunatly Leon was no artist and even he wouldn't be able to tell the stick figures apart, but he worked on this every free minute he had and he was sure now.
Every piece arranged itself to show one picture. Of course. Yes! Everything made sense now!
The way Arthur always got saved, the way the knights got lucky every time.
He didn't know how it happened or why but somehow Leon had developed magical abilities to save his king and friends. Without even realizing.
In a kingdom where magic was outlawed.
Oh gods
Leon has broken the law.
Shaken by the realization the knight had to sit down. He had to confess! It was his duty! But who would protect the king?? Gwaine?! MERLIN??!!!?
No, he would bear the burden of this treason if Arthur would live.
merlin 2008 is a cautionary tale about accidentally becoming too important at work. which in extreme cases can end in doomed yaoi
HOWâS THAT HOUSE THAT RAISED YOU? LEV ST. VALENTINE
merlin: BEHOLD, the field in which I grow my fucks! Lay thine eyes upon it, and thou shalt see that it is barren!
