I really really want to know what people that didn’t watch the show would think they are to each other. Because before I watched BBC Merlin this year i discovered that Arthur was married, and I was shocked. I don’t know what I expected, because it’s in the legend that he’s married to Gwen. But I really thought that Merlin and Arthur was the only relationship in the show.
And when I’m telling you when I’ve seen all this moments they have in the show I was shocked that it’s really THAT GAY how everyone was saying it is! And I am so glad I have finally watched Merlin IN THE YEAR OF 2024!!!
But the consequences are really brutal. The concept of Merlin waiting so long for the other half of his soul, his only one true love is actually making me cry. I am such an empath, but I cannot in my life fathom how you could bear it. THE PAIN.
I’m so happy that there’s so many amazing fics out there. I was reading «And like the cycle of the year we begin again» and watching Merlin at the same time. And I’m so glad I did that! This fic is truly the most amazing thing I’ve read, THE WORK OF ART!
Anyway, the ending of Merlin is really sad, BUT, the open ending that Merlin is waiting for Arthur and they would reunite in the future, and they could love each other openly and freely. That Merlin would teach Arthur how to live in the modern world, and Arthur would teach Merlin how to LIVE. IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
I’m actually kinda glad that in canon they didn’t kiss or were together. BECAUSE IF THEY DID it would be so much more sad and tragic. But here, in the open ending, we could imagine their life after Arthur’s return and it’s so beautiful!
