Do you ever think about how Arthur’s love for Merlin makes him a better person and leader? But Merlin’s love for Arthur makes him so much worse? So much darker?
Do you think about this in the dead of night because I-
Merlin can and would fight a god for Arthur
What if over the years Merlin forgot Arthur’s face. He remembered his laugh the warmth of his touch but couldn’t quite remember how his prince looked. Arthur has returned and keeps trying to get Merlin’s attention. Merlin’s just confused why the really hot guy keeps hitting on him.
Headcannon - When Arthur was a kid he used to sneak into Uther’s room to steal shirts and wear them as nightwear.
He thought that a piece of clothing he wore to sleep, that smelled slightly like his father, is what a hug from Uther would feel like.
He never really found out if that was true because he had never experienced a real hug from the King.
Maybe, when he’s older and Arthur and Merlin are friends, but have obliviously feelings for each other, he steals Merlin’s neckerchief somehow. He doesn’t think or know to ask Merlin for a hug because he subconsciously thinks he’ll be rejected instantly.
So instead, he steals Merlin’s neckerchief and hides it under his pillow until night and while he’s sleeping he kind of just holds close it next to him.
To be loved to is be changed.
Change is painful. Pain is worth it for you.
Change is dirty. You’d wash me clean.
Change is nothing. Nothing has changed.
Change is everything. You were my everything.

Don’t get wrong I eat up those little fan fictions about Arthur thinking Merlin is scared of magic and what not but, Merlin’s best friend literally had magic in Arthur’s POV so like he knew Merlin was chill with magic. Like Ik it’s fanfic and all that but it low key make me mad sometimes. Also like it’s right there that Arthur even though knowing Merlin is okay with magic loves him anyways and doesn’t make him out as an enemy WRITE ABOJT THAT. Sorry I just feel very strongly about this.
Omg Merthur but it’s kinda like little mermaid plot line.
Merlin saves a man he found in the woods but he used magic so once the man starts to wake Merlin runs.
Instead of him singing it’s like old English and Arthur we already know would send all the knights to find this man.
Once Merlin shows up to like work for Giaus Arthur is drawn to him and keeps making up injuries to see him. Merlin ofc won’t say anything about his magic.
Some rando Druid dude comes and claims he’s the man Arthur heard. He actually wants to kill Arthur. Merlin then reveals himself to save his man.
They get married and live happily ever after.
This all came about because I believe with about a doubt that Arthur would belt wild uncharted waters like no tomorrow.
Fanfic idea
Red and gold… the colors of the pendragon symbol. Arthur had been raised on these colors and the principles behind them. So even though magic was meant to be hated when his manservant(best friend) has magic what will he do? The magic is golden like the color(man) that he loves.
Y’all I really think this could be a cool idea and if anyone wants to write it go ahead just tell me cause I want to read it. Also if you know any fics like this I need them.
