obsessed with the merlin and arthur dynamic that is characterised like:
merlin: i want him, i love him, but i can't. there are things i shouldn't tell him, not yet. but i want to. but i can't. and fate? what about fate? what about destiny? what would happen? no, i can't. there are so many things, so much-
arthur: (dramatic sigh) i wish i could love my manservant (you can), but he's my manservant (no one cares, everyone already assumes)
