Every Merlin “Arthur returns fic” is so unrealistic. Arthur speaks perfect modern English in every one of them. Need an Arthur who has somehow made it to modern London before Merlin senses he’s back and he can’t understand anyone because yknow, his English is outdated far enough he can’t understand anything, and Merlin’s just desperately trying to find him and Arthur’s gotten himself arrested in full Camlann armor, trying to tell the police what’s happening and that he’s King Arthur and they’re going to institutionalize him
