leon: Are we really going to let Merlin keep a dragon?

arthur, shrugging: We let him keep Gwaine.

[chaotic-fluff3]

One of my fav BBC Merlin headcanons is that Arthur knows all the castle gossip cuz Merlin just blabs all the info he hears around the castle to him when they’re alone.

Merlin: *entering Arthur’s room to pick up laundry* “You’ll never guess what Mary said about Cassie.”

Arthur: *wants to know cuz he’s invested at this point* “What do I pay you to do Merlin? Listen to gossip in the Tavern all day?”

Merlin: *ignores him and continues the story*

And yes, Merlin does tell Arthur important stuff too like which guards are slacking off or who could be (is definitely) a traitor. But mainly Arthur is invested in the years long saga of a kitchen maid and a laundry maid that seem like they hate each other but Merlin caught them kissing recently and he *needs* to know what’s happening with them.

(Leon has overheard many… MANY… things he’d like to gossip about. He cannot for it would go against his beloved Knights Code. But he’s seen some shit. He would like to stop knowing things. Leon is tired. #LetLeonSleep2026)

@morgwenmicrofic | prompt: "just this time" | pairing: morgana & gwen

inspired by this tiktok :) i made the list thinking of all the ways morgana and gwen could have been connected while morgana was in camelot, before she became, well, evil. and safe to say i cried :)

au where merlin panics during the magic reveal and just starts gaslighting arthur. he just builds a fire with magic and arthur freaks out, gasping that he is a sorcerer, and merlin is like ‘?? yeah arthur i told you like a week into my stay in camelot? i don’t know why you are reacting this way.’

and arthur is losing his mind and merlin is just doubling down like arthur you’ve KNOWN for YEARS why would you let me go on quests without armor otherwise??

bbc merlin writers trying so hard fighting for their life not to say the word soulmate because if they did the romantic subtext between merlin and arthur would stop being a subtext will always be soooo funny to me. they were constantly making the characters say shit like “he is my destiny” “i was born to be at arthur’s side” “merlin needs to be with arthur forever or camelot will burn down” “if you two are ever apart from each other arthur is going to explode into a million little pieces” like okay bro
