Imagine being Nine.

Your spend your whole life being bullied and beaten just for being different. Years pass and no one comes to you rescue, you're on your own. You realize the only person you can count on is yourself.

Then out of nowhere this stranger shows up. He compliments the things others berated you for and speaks of adventures that never happened. But you listen to him anyway because you wish they did.

Against your better judgement you decide to help the stranger. He shows concern for your wellbeing, showers you with constant praise for no apparent reason. You don't know how to respond, deep down you knew he's confusing you for someone else, but you soon start to like it. You start to like him.

You find a way to finally leave that horrible place behind and start over, but for the first time in forever you don't want to be alone. You offer to share that paradise with the one person you trust, your only friend.

But he rejects you. He breaks your heart. You try going back to isolation but it's no paradise without him. Against your better judgement, you go back to help your friend, hopeful that he will change his mind. In the end, that costs you your freedom.

Time passes. He comes back to save you, just like you knew he would. Together you fix the prism, your head is so filled with hopes of a new future together than you fail to realize he has something else in mind.

So you once again offer him the chance to create a new world, just the two of you. A world where those adventures can be real and neither of you has to be alone anymore. Once again he rejects you. No matter what you do, all he wants is his old world, his old Tails.

He never once thought about what you wanted. never considered what was going to happen to you, because you were never real to him. You finally realize all those words of praise that had meant so much to you were meant for someone else. You were just too caught up on the euphoria of being loved to see it.

The one person you opened your heart to, never cared about the real you. You will never be enough for him because you're not his real brother, you're just Nine. Nothing will ever change that.

You realize the only person you can count on is yourself

LISTEN. What if Nimueh tricked Uther and instead of taking Ygraine’s life to have Arthur she trades Uther’s. Ygraine doesn’t ban magic and maybe makes Balinor a lord although he travels around the kingdoms trying to round up all the dragons so he can protect them or something. Hunith insists on teaching Merlin that he has to work for things and not just demand them from people so Merlin grows up pretty much the same. Maybe him and Arthur meet as kids and they get into a fight in the court-yard and they come back to the castle covered in mud but grinning like idiots because they made a new friend. That was the only time they’d actually seen each other but they never forget. anD THEN AFTER A FEW YEARS. Ygraine throws a ball for Arthur’s 20th birthday and Arthur is talking to the knights and then they announce Merlin’s arrival(his parents were busy with the dragons and couldn’t come), anD HE’S DECKED OUT ON A GOLDEN SUIT AND ARTHUR GETS SO DISTRACTED HE SPILLS AN ENTIRE GOBLET OF WINE ON HIS CLOTHES AND ALL THE KNIGHTS ARE LIKE “the fuck????” and anyway obviously Merlin makes fun of him and they start the whole bickering/bantering friendship and obviously they fall in love and someone makes an off-hand comment about how Camelot’s colors have always been red and gold
