It Is Now October.

Quietly sliding back into my merlin fixation

dealing with the worst case scenario

your condom breaks

you feel a lump on your breast

your friends are ignoring you

you’re stranded on an island 

you got rejected by a crush

you get into a car accident

you got stung by a bee/wasp

you got fired from your job

you’re in an earthquake

your tattoo gets infected

your house is on fire

you’re lost in the woods

you get arrested abroad

you get robbed

your partner cheated on you

you’re on a ship that’s sinking

you fall into ice

you’re stuck in an elevator

you hit a deer with your car

you have food poisoning

your pet passed away

you fall off of a horse

you or your friend has alcohol poisoning

you have toxic shock syndrome

your house has a gas leak

Got a bribe from an anon.

I always say that I will never do something like this ever again and I have shot my foot yet again...

My favorite Merthur dynamic, especially in slow-burn fics is, once they’ve had their “oh” moments. Arthur is doing backflips around the fact that he’s in love with a man, let alone his manservant, let alone Merlin. And then there’s Merlin, who takes one look inward and is like “well, this might as well happen,” and then tucks this secret away inside him with the rest of them. Because, well, his life is already Arthur’s, his heart might as well be too.

Meanwhile, Arthur is screaming crying throwing up, and nobody knows why, least of all Merlin, but damn if he’s not going to give figuring it out his best shot. Cue Merlin performing various acts of sorcery on a passed out Arthur to find out why his king can’t get a full sentence out in his presence without getting flustered.

Can Aithusa loaf like a cat? Does she loaf like a cat? Does Kilgharrah? These are important questions

Tired: Merlin has to out his identity so that Arthur can make the magic oppression about himself and/or is inconvenienced by it enough to care.

Wired: Arthur sees that magic is not inherently evil, regardless of any knowledge about Merlin’s identity, and legalizes magic because it’s the right thing to do for his people.

Inspired: Arthur lets Gwen write all of Camelot’s laws.

Today, Merlin walks next to the road along the lakeside.

Every other day, he pauses and looks at the monument. He studies the water, looking for anything out of the ordinary. A sign, a relic, any change at all.

Today, Merlin did not look for Arthur.

He knew that today would be no different than any other. There would be no king waiting for him on the shore. So he took a deep breath, and continued walking.

Today, for the first time in 1500 years, Merlin gave up on his destiny.

But Arthur had not given up on him.

Wilhelm: “Wow. Can’t believe I’m going to burn the entire Swedish monarchy to the ground for this nerdy little choir boy I met six months ago.” Literally everyone else: “You don’t have t-” Wilhelm: “No, I’m gonna.”

Odysseus can see the ghosts!!!
