This Reminds Me Of The Time Someone On Tiktok Said Fanfiction Websites Are Like Drug Dealers: If You

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

can’t stop crying over arthur loving merlin for merlin. like he fr thought he was just some guy but guess what? that’s his some guy. and he’d stick with him forever. i think i’m gonna throw up

I cannot believe Merlin spent 10 years at Arthur's side with no plan on how not to be discovered other than "gotta make him question his sexuality so he doesn't notice The Magic"

And I mostly cannot believe that it worked

country bumpkin merlin not knowing anything about city life and accidentally courting arthur without knowing

merlin, watching gwen give lancelot her favor: why do you do that

gwen, heart eyes at lance and not paying that much attention to the conversation: so he knows i’m rooting for him

merlin, with an Idea: ah.

gwaine, lover of chaos, pisser offer of nobles and royals alike, ultimate wingman: merlin…you have such lonely lips. shall i introduce them to mine?

merlin, unaware of the game gwaine is playing: so you can steal my breath away? i think not, scoundrel

arthur, crushing his goblet in his hand:

merlin: arthur’s been in a bad mood recently :( i should cheer him up

merlin, remembering when arthur was put out when merlin brought morgana flowers and not him: i know just the thing

merlin, bringing a bouquet of carnations, roses, and tulips and setting them on arthur’s table while he’s eating breakfast: good morning, sire

arthur, trained on flower language in hopes that one day when he was to take a queen he could woo her easily, trying not to audibly choke on his sausage as he reads merlin’s declaration of love sitting in front of him:

arthur, who recently found out about merlin’s magic and was trying to find a way to bring it up, catching him in the act and watching merlin panic to explain himself:

merlin, Freaking: and i swear to you arthur, i have only ever used it for you. my magic is yours. my life is yours. i am yours. i would never do anything to harm you. i have protected you for years and will continue to do so at your side if you’ll have me

arthur, already believing them to be courting, desperately trying to figure out if that was a proposal for marriage or not but tired of being confused and deciding fuck it: here.

merlin, taking it: i…uh…huh?

arthur, watching merlin with hawk eyes and trying to figure out what he’s thinking and feeling: it’s my mothers sigil

merlin, confused as FUCK but is focusing on the fact that arthur is handing him something of his mother rather than a death sentence: my…my lord?

arthur, realizing how scared merlin’s must be about him finding out about his magic and trying to comfort him while also proposing, killing two birds with one stone: i will always keep you at my side, merlin, so long as we both shall live. if you’ll allow me.

merlin, almost collapsing with relief and tearing up, smiling at arthur as if he had parted the storm clouds to allow sun to shine down on them in that moment: of course…of course, arthur. always and forever.

merlin, watching the castle staff rush this way and that: wow. this banquet must be incredibly important

sir leon the long suffering, day one ride or die, one of the original merthur shippers: banquet? merlin, this is for your wedding

merlin, overworked and exhausted: my WHAT? to WHO??

leon, regretting everything he’s ever done in his life that led him to this moment: to…arthur?

merlin, over joyed but also absolutely befuddled: i’m getting married to ARTHUR?????

leon: you two have been courting for the past year or so, have you not?

merlin: i’ve been COURTING ARTHUR?????? FOR A YEAR?????????

I wanna push you around

a plot: buddie divorce

b plot: KILL YOURSELF .

I don't think people appreciate how much stuff you can do with Merlin fandom.

It's heaven for fic writers. Let me explain.

Do you need your characters behaving strangely and doing something they would've never done?

Potions/Curses/Evil sorcerers/etc.

Do you need somehow add a new character?

Visiting nobles.

Do you need to explain some wild shit?

MAGIC.

Sometimes i deeply regret that i cannot write well, but gods there's just sm variety with Merlin. I don't think you can meet that everywhere

bbc merlin - 03x12 The Coming of Arthur, Part I

grabbing merlin like he wasn't the one waiting for You is actually very funny of arthur

literally everything I have ever wanted from a Merlin episode: merthur, jealous Arthur, Merlin teasing him, shirtless Gwaine, effortless fighting and badass weapon-wielding

The extremely jealous Arthur mentioned in this post, video by @sirleoninsunglasses on tiktok

tanktops are so whorish I love them. My entire armpit is out. If you look at me you’re a slut
