Saving Them For Later

"x loves x more" SHUT UP!!!!!! they need to both be equally in love with each other or i DIE

For later :D

Kind of want a fic of Arthur being sent on a quest to kill Magic itself, the god of magic, the most powerful sorcerer to walk the Earth, Emrys, and Merlin is just standing in the background sweating

Ok, so maybe Uther hears from some captive druids about Emrys and how he’s magic itself, god of magic, so on so forth. So obviously, to get rid of magic in the world, this Emrys guy has to be killed! So Uther sends Arthur on a quest to get rid of magic once and for all, and of course, Merlin is along for the ride. This could be a pretty cool concept and magic reveal I think. I’m no good at writing though so please someone write this

For safe keeping

My people! I just read what had got to be one of the most incredible merlin fics out there: Teach a man to fish and he'll never run out of ale by Doctor959 on ao3.

Merlin? Powerful, skilled, sassy, traumatised, knows his way around a tavern and isn't useless in a fight (without magic!) either. Let me introduce GWAINE his friend, brother and father figure(!?!?!?), he basically adopts Merlin after he had to flee Ealdor and got himself in a bit of a pickle.

And the chemistry between Merlin and Arthur is screaming crying throwing up good.

And the cherry on top of all that is good Morgana bonding with our boi Merlin.

OH AND UTHER GETS BULLIED A LIL

Ok but this gives me an idea: what if the other wolves figured out something was up because all of a sudden one winter, Lambert just stops being able to sleep properly. and when they ask about it (both of genuine concern...and because a sleepless Lambert is a dangerous, and annoying one) he gets all evasive or refuses to give a straight answer.(Eventually after a winter or two of this they do some further investigating and find out about Aiden what happens from there is up to you)

"Fucking, move over, it's too hot!" Lambert grumbled and pushed Aiden away to his own bedroll. Even at night it was unbearably hot, the air heavy with humidity. For a long moment their camp was silent, then Aiden shuffled around and turned towards him. "Hey, Lambert," his voice sounded smaller than usual, "I can't sleep without you anymore." Lambert let out a sigh and turned his head. "Yeah.... Me neither." Their hands found each other, fingers intertwined, connected.

Yes

My favorite headcannon is that Arthur gifted merlin a purple shirt, indicating a kings favor, without telling him.

Just look at him.

And he has no idea until Gwen tells him why all the other servents are whispering about him.

Saving this for later

I've been trying to find an old fic I read on A03 a while ago. it has Merlin be forced to take a truth serum made by guias and uther is the one who ordered it, but the catch is he doesn't confess his magic, he confesses his love for Arthur. any other truth serum fics are welcome tho!!

so i couldnt find the exact fic you were looking for, but i did manage to find a couple other truth serum fics. hopefully someone out there knows which fic you were looking for.

Tell Me A Lie by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer)

"Did you steal anything from my plate?”

No, had been what he meant to say, of course not. Instead, though, when he opened his lips to let the lie slip out, he paled at what came out in its place.

“Yes, I always do, a sausage this time.”

His heart sunk.

He couldn’t lie.

Or

Merlin is slipped a truth potion, and really, he should have expected Arthur to find out.

~~~

and the cure is the stuff of fairytales!! ahhh

2. Mine by Lola_Rose_Robins (@lorienrobins)

Merlin was hit with a truth spell, which is how Uther ends up finding out about his...well, everything.

~~~

i know it's a curse instead of a serum, but this is the closest thing i could find with uther confronting him while under a truth inducing thingy

3. our lips are sealed by eat_crow

After being dosed with a truth potion? No, they're not.

“Who the fuck calls you Emrys?” Arthur asks, so clearly annoyed. “People of magic. Druids, mostly, but I’ve heard it from fae and leaders of the old religion. Jesus fucking Christ--” he dissolves into hysterical laughter, rocking as far forward as his bonds will allow. “What is in this shit?”

~~~

excellent crack fic 4275349207825/10

truly, I love the little oh moments and the whispered stay’s in fanfic. I always eat it up and I always will. but you know what’s not appreciated as much as it should be?

the comforting, softly spoken I’ve got you.

every time I read that in a fanfic, it feels like I could run through a fucking wall.
