ok but like have you considered that this is literally Prince Merlin Emrys of Ealdor and his trusted knight Arthur Pendragon…

[safety-data-sheet]

Okay I’ve seen this mentioned a couple times but

If I’m not mistaken (tumblr historians fact-check me) Merlin was just given a shit ton of jobs he absolutely would not have to do in a properly functioning castle.

Like

Arthur’s laundry? Laundresses.

Mucking out stables? Tacking horses? Stable Master and Stable Boys.

Scrubbing floors? Housemaids/Maidservants.

Delivering messages? Pages.

Sharpening weapons? Squires and Blacksmiths.

Taking care of Arthur’s wardrobe? Chamberlain.

Not even to mention that as the literal Prince’s Personal Servant he had wayyyy more power in the staff hierarchy than I think he ever realized.

Arthur just looked at this poor farmer-boy peasant who had never even seen a castle before in his life and decided to give him the work of 6 different people, just to be petty, correctly assuming he wouldn’t know any better, then proceeded to keep that up for like 10 years.

Merlin: *slams open Arthur’s door*

Arthur: Merlin? You alright there?

Merlin: I’ve just had a lovely conversation with Elizabeth, the Laundress

Arthur: *with fear* …Okay?

Merlin: You know what she said to me?

Arthur: Do I want to know?

Merlin: She said “Oh Merlin, I just don’t know why you insist on doing all that extra work for Arthur!”

Arthur: *eyes widen*

Merlin: When were you going to tell me what The Prince’s Manservant actually does???

Arthur: Uh… You see…. But you’re just so good at it all!

Merlin: *eyes glowing* You should run.

Arthur: *standing up* I should run.

Imagine you're Leon and you grew up with the Prince of Camelot being always present and you got along well. Of course Arthur wasn't allowed to have friends or anything but he always looked up to Leon until he started growing older and he realized that nobody would take him seriously if he was kind and sweet so he tried to become like his father instead. Leon would be sad, not surprised but still unhappy about this development, especially when Arthur was cruel to servants or started boasting in front of other noble boys who thought everyone beneath them wasn't worth anything.

But then Uther sent Leon on a mission, he insisted you travel to the court of an allied kingdom under the guise of training with them and learning different styles of fighting while kind of acting as a spy. It was a long mission, and when you finally make it back to Camelot after a year away you head towards the throne room where you'd expect Arthur and Uther would wait for you. But as soon as you open the door a serving boy stumbles directly into you.

"Oh sorry." He mumbled with the sweetest smile. But you had no time to react because footsteps came up behind you.

"Merlin where were you?" Arthur grumbled at the boy over Leon's shoulder.

"I was here, George told me to come to the throne room but when I got here I was confused because your giant ego was not yet taking up all the space and I couldn't even believe how huge this room is without your abnormally large head in it so you have to forgive me for taking a moment to take it all in before I wanted to look for you. Have you had problems with getting dressed again? I'll write to my mother so she'll sent the rhyme that helped me to remember how to tie shoes when I was a child. No worries I'm sure you'll manage it eventually."

Leon would freeze right there, half expecting to hear Arthur pull his sword but instead the prince just sighed and said: "Shut up, Merlin."

@merthurmicrofic prompt for the week is "bruise" so voila - have some healer Merlin tending to Arthur's bruises/wounds. (A redraw of a 2016 piece) ☕Support me on Ko-Fi!

I need to know if there's a tag in Ao3 for Merlin having lover privileges without realizing it, or where most of the rules clearly don't apply to him.
