One admires Perfection the Other Embraces Imperfection

First I wanted to say hello and tell you that I love your works. They really have me on the edge of my seat every time I read them.

Second. Can you imagine that Merlin, in some new alternative universe, for some reason, upon arriving in Camelot, arrives with a baby? It's all still a Merthur ending, it should be noted.

Like, we know that Merlin was already a bit of an outcast in the village for the reason that nobody knew who his father was and even more so because strange things were always happening around him.

The situation gets much worse when he finds a crying baby in the middle of a burnt tent near the village.

Will and his mother try to help him for a while, but with the visits of the evildoers to the village becoming more and more frequent, Merlin and the baby have no choice but to go to Camelot.

And so the adventures begin!

Only now Arthur wonders if they can make crowns for babies, because he is willing to marry Merlin and legally adopt the baby as his own.

And Morgana… well, she and Gwen enjoy dressing up the baby in all the clothes from her old dolls. Not to mention that she notices that by taking naps with the baby she no longer has nightmares.

The knights become, in some way or another, glorified nannies. The servants and maids must chase after a baby who never stops causing mischief in the castle.

And Merlin just wants to survive colic season and potty train his baby… and everything would be easier if there weren't a murderer or a resentful wizard trying to kill Arthur every 3 minutes.

First, thank you so much for the compliments! 🥹🤧❤️

About the concept. I love it! I don't think going to Camelot to live would be Merlin or Hunith's first option for a baby that can't control their magic at all. So I firmly believe Hunith would send Merlin with the baby there so Gaius can take them to a druid camp so they could take refuge there.

The problem is, before Gaius can do so, Merlin is made the prince's personal manservant. Merlin can't exactly deny the king and he does need the money to take care of his baby so he decides to stay to Gaius dismay. Gaius and Merlin try to keep the baby hided at first so they take turns taking care of her (in my mind is a her) in Gaius' tower in secret. It works out for some weeks but then the plague (Nimueh's Afanc) happens and Arthur searches Gaius' tower.

Arthur: (enters Merlin's room) Merlin: (running inside) Arthur, wait! Baby: (sitting on the bed, looks up at Arthur and gives a cute giggle) Arthur: (Turns to Merlin slowly) Merlin? Merlin: Yeah? 😅 Arthur: Why is there a baby in your bed? Merlin: (in panic, shouts the first thing that comes to his mind) She is mine! Arthur: ... Arthur: What? 😧 Merlin: (repeats more quietly but more firmly) She is mine. (runs to hold her up and embraces her) She is my daugther. Arthur: (thinking) But... but he is so young. (says) Where's the mother? Merlin: (with pain as he remembers the burnt tent) She passed away. Arthur: (his heart hurting for Merlin) I'm so sorry. But Gods Merlin, why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't have given you so many chores if I knew... (thinking) And I almost sacked you. I almost sacked a single father with a baby in arms! (says) And why the hell are you hiding her? Merlin: I... wasn't sure if I could keep her. Arthur: Of course you can keep her! What kind of master do you think I am? Knight x: (from outside) Sire? Arthur: (shouts back) In a minute! (to Merlin) What's her name? Merlin: Brigitta. Arthur: (repeats softly and smiles) Brigitta.

From then on, Arthur doesn't give Merlin as many chores and raises his salary considerably. And then everybody else finds out about Briggitta and go "I've only met Brigitta for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself".

Some events would change, obviously, and some would remain the same but with a new perspective. I don't think Merlin would have time to make Lancelot a fake seal, for example, having to look after Brigitta and all. I can imagine Lancelot becoming Brigitta's first unnofficial babysiter, then Arthur makes it official so poor Lancelot has a salary and a place to stay in Camelot. The Poisoned Chalice episode would remain the same, except Arthur would be more in panic mode and desperate because MERLIN HAS A DAUGHTER! BRIGITTA CAN'T LOSE HER FATHER TOO!

I think it would be The Beginning of the End where Arthur and Morgana find out about Brigitta's magic and Merlin's magic. Not because they discovered her, surprisingly, but Merlin decided to tell them all the truth about her and himself after seeing how they saved Mordred. Also, since Merlin saw Brigitta's possible future in Mordred, he wants to leave Camelot too to keep her safe. Screw all what the dragon told him about destiny, his daugther comes first.

So Merlin and Brigitta are about to leave with Mordred with the druids. They are having a heartfelt goodbye with Arthur, who scorted them there, but then...

Brigitta: (cries very loudly in Merlin's arms and the earth starts shaking a bit) Merlin: I know, I know, baby, but we have to go. Brigitta: (cries more loudly and extends her little arms to Arthur) Arthur: (barely containing his tears) I'll miss you too, Biddy. But this is the best for you- Brigitta: ATHU! 😭 Arthur: (open his eyes wide) What did she just said? Brigitta: (still crying and making grabby hands at him) ATHU, ATHU, ATHU! 😭 Arthur: (tears roll down his eyes) She said my name... Merlin, she said my name! (grinning widely) Let me hold her one more time, please! Merlin: (gives Brigitta to Arthur) Druid leader: (urgently) We need to leave now! Merlin: (looking at Arthur and Brigitta tenderly and smiles) Leave, we'll stay.

I also can imagine Nimueh going after Brigitta's life instead of Hunith, and having to confront not only a very furious Merlin, but a feral protective prince.

That's how far my imagination can go. If you have any ideas of how Merlin and Arthur or other character would act in other episodes now with Brigitta in the equation, share it in the comments or reblogs. I'll be happy to read you 🥰

Sir Leon questioning Arthur's plan of action (BBC Merlin 4x02)

Part 1 • Part 2

The number of people I have seen talking about how millie cheated is so worrying 😟

Like, guys, Millie characteristic (for the longest time) is that she loves her husband

Why in the world would she cheat?

She probably stressed/worried for 2 reasons

● Imp won't let her do her job now since she pregnant

Since it is stressful and dangerous, the 2 biggest things you should avoid being pregnant

(And I realized while typing this that the writers are going to have stolas take over her job and work with imp in the human world)

● plus, it clearly implied that Millie and moxxie never talked about the idea of having kids. Or they did, but they planned to have kids more in the future

So it got Millie stressful on what moxxie reaction will be and what their life will look now with baby in it

You know what weird? There are a lot of characters from HB and HH who have daddy/parental issues.

Hh:

Charlie, Angel, Alastor, and Abel

Hb:

Moxxie, Blitz, Octavia, and Stolas

Honestly, I feel like in season 2 or at some point of Hazbin Hotel, it gonna be revealed that both Alastor and Angel have daddy issues or parental issues.

And it doesn't help the leaks reveal that Abel has daddy issues as well.

(There are probably more characters that have parental/daddy issues that I probably forgot to include.)

But as a whole, the amount of daddy issues or parental issues as a whole is just really repetitive.

And it is not like the show writers are doing anything different. They always villianize the mom and make the dad a sympathy uwu twink or it the opposite where the mom was a total angel while the dad was just horrible.

It always the same, like the only parents that we have seen that have been good to their kids and to each other has been Millies parents.

Merlin starts useless arguments just to rile Arthur up

He’s totally on the “sharks are smooth” kinda vibe and Arthur is pulling out his hair screaming “no they’re not!!” and merlin just replies yes they are :D

**********

“Wyverns are smooth”

“I’m an experienced hunter and killer, and I’m telling you Merlin, that they are scaly and rough.”

“Nope, they’re smooth”

“Shut up Merlin”

“I can’t hear you over the sounds of me petting this smooth wyvern”

“As If you have you ever petted one, Ha!”

“Oh I’ve petted many wyverns in my life, in fact sire, I keep one under my bed and pet it every night”

“Gods but you’re impossible! As if a wyvern would fit under your bed, idiot! They grow to be twice the size of Percival!”

“Well of course it’s not a grown wyvern, he’s small and very smooth”

“They are not smooth!!”

“Yes they are :D”

******

They argue like this in front of everyone else

so, its widely headcannoned that when arthur finds out about merlin's magic he's upset that merlin didnt trust him and lied to him

i think when leon finds out its the opposite.

first of all, leon is smart and observant so he suspected the whole time. and i think when merlin finally tells him (because he definitely sits him down and tells him the truth) leon just smiles

he smiles and he tells merlin how happy he is that merlin trusts him and he would never tell anyone else his secret and he loves him so much

leon would hold merlin when he decides he's ready to tell arthur and he's so scared about how he's going to react and leon promises that if arthur is anything less than supportive they'll run away together

because as much as leon loves camelot and respects arthur, merlin means the world to him

leon would be in awe every time merlin does even the smallest bit of magic. he'd get butterflies seeing merlin make their bed with just a flick of his hand

idk man leon is just too in love with him to even consider that merlin had any ill intent with not telling him sooner

‘cause every colour goes where you do

please click to sharpen the image! :)

I hope op knows how correct they are and both sides of their pillow are cold tonight and many nights more
