As is tradition, I am once again posting about immortal Leon because #Merlin is trending

So when merlin was trending the other day I remembered that I’d started writing a story about my immortal Leon au and tell me why it’s low-key some of my best writing? (This is from the middle of the story)

Leon’s response caught everyone off guard, but before anyone could pry any further, there was the sound of old stones moving. Leon’s face contorted further into worry as he looked past all the knights and to whomever had just entered.

“Viscount Orelion, long time no see.” As Merlin turned around he saw a woman wearing a dark red dress, immediately recognizing that she was a high priestess of the Old Religion. He heard the sound of knights unsheathing their swords. “Oh please boys, let us be civil. I only want to talk to an old… friend.” The priestess said, giving a slightly unnerving smile at the end. “Everyone put your swords down.” Leon’s voice was small, but everyone heard him, and after a few moments did as he asked. He looked her in the eyes, an indecipherable expression on his face, and asked, “Delilah, what are you doing here?” She let out a small laugh at that. “What am I doing here? I’m following my orders. The real question is why are you here, Sir Leon?” The malice in her voice was potent, but Leon seemed unfazed. “Following orders.” His response was short and precise, like always. “From who? Your king,” she quickly glanced at Arthur, “or your wife?”

Like- hello?

Because I’m obviously insane, I’ve been creating a storyline in my head where immortal!Leon is married to the goddess of fertility and life. I don’t even remember how I got to the idea, but the storyline I’m working with currently is that the goddess, who I have named Panya, came with a group of druids to discuss peace talks with Camelot, and through out the rest of the knights are all like “why is this goddess so interested in Leon?” And Leon just has to deal with his wife being flirty on main. Also I think I decided that since he drank from the cup of life they now have a telepathic communication, which is strongest when he’s asleep, so even when she’s far away they can talk in his dreams. Also they probs eloped. I dont know if I want him to have been married to her for like 100 years already, or if they’re still newlyweds but if I ever do write it I guess we’ll see.

MERLIN TRENDING!!! TIMEE TO SHARE MY IMMORTAL LEON IDEAS!!!!

Ok so the idea is he was originally supposed to be sacrificed to Isla, aka The Crone, aka the old part of the Triple Goddess, aka the goddess of the moon - death - winter - destruction - fate - and beauty (in my AU). He was born at least 100 years before Uther’s reign. Anyways, Isla was out of town that day (or some other excuse), but Panya, aka The Mother, aka the middle aged part of the Triple Goddess, aka the goddess of the earth - harvest - spring - birth - and luck (in my au). Panya takes pity on Leon and allows him refuge. After a while they fall in love. Panya brings him before Isla and Kaya, aka The Maiden, aka the youngest part of the Triple Goddess, aka the goddess of the sun - summer - fall - love - marriage - virginity - and acceptance although they each are technically separate entities, they once were one - The Triple Goddess - and so together after making him go through tests, the Goddess grants Leon immortality. Leon and Panya wed, and as the years go by Leon becomes a knight. insert excuse as to why no one knows he’s immortal here. My idea for how this would be revealed is that after winning Camlan (yes im delulu), Arthur decides it’s time to make peace with the druids. To do so, a representative from the major Druid encampments comes to the treaty talk and Panya is there as well. At some point it is revealed that she and Leon are married and everyone is just like “whaaaaaat?” And that’s when Leon reveals his immortality.
