They could only stare in horror as the creature bites through the knights. Merlin could faintly hear screaming and then pain.  

“Retreated.” Sir Leon’s voice broke through the clearing, forcing the few knights that were left into action, grabbing Arthur’s wrist as he pulled him away from there. He forced them to move even though Arthur was almost dead weight.

Trying to pull away, trying to get back to the creature. It needed to be slain before any more people died. Merlin needed to be avenged. He needed to know that his death wasn’t in vain. He died protecting his family, and that is enough.

“Arthur, we need to rethink this. We are not winning; we can come back when we have a plan, and then we can handle it.” Leon’s voice barely broke through the fog, clouding Arthur’s mind.

Suddenly, there was just silence as they stopped in the forest about a kilometre away from the creature. There was a look of horror as the knights placed their hands on Arthur’s shoulder, giving him some comfort.

All of them knew what the relationship was between master and servant. Even when they tried to hide it away, it was clear as day.

All Arthur could do was sit there, his body barely able to move. He glanced upwards, his eyes desperate as he tried to keep his face calm. But from the knight’s eyes, he could see that it wasn’t working.

Leon sighed slightly as he sat down next to Arthur, gently pulling him against his chest, the older knight sent the other away with a glare.

“It is my fault, Leon, I should have insisted that he stay in Camelot. He doesn’t belong out here with us. And the newbies, we should have known.” Arthur's breath hitched as he tried to gather his thoughts.

“Merlin would have just followed us; you know that as well as I do. And unfortunately, we needed to have as many hands-on decks as possible. We didn’t know it would be this bad, Arthur.” Leon tried to give him some comfort.

A sudden blast made them all freeze as a shock wave sent them to the ground.

Arthur forced himself to his feet, hand on his sword, as he rushed back to where the blast came from. As if someone forced himself forward, he came to a halt in the clearing.

The creature on the ground, Merlin, slumped against a tree, blood dripping from his head, an arm cradled against his chest.

“Merlin.” Arthur rushed over to the manservant. Crouching down, he gently moved the soaked hair out of his eyes. He wanted to ask how, instead, Merlin slumped forward against his chest. “Safe.  You all are safe.” His voice slurred, whether, from the head injury or magical exhaustion, Arthur couldn’t say.

His hands trembled as he picked him up. “Go to sleep; I have you.” He whispered the words as he glanced at Leon.

Knowing that between them, they would keep Merlin safe. There is no other choice.

Merlin: *lets out a sad little sigh* I wish my life was less difficult.

Gwaine, already sprinting halfway across Camelot: SOMETHING TELLS ME MERLIN NEEDS A HUG-

The treasures of my future

I cant stop thinking ab the idea of merlin one day post s5, where they all survived, becoming really secretive and protective of his room and not telling anyone at all whats inside. Not even gaius. He even gets a lock installed and whenever anybody asks he brushes it off with jokes like “its to stop arthur from finding me” or smth.

he also unrelatedly really hates any talk of destiny, going to war, and anytime morgana mentions her fear of her magic turning her merlin slightly freaks out.

That is until one day gaius manages to catch merlin off guard while hes rushing between the main room and his bedroom and walks in.

Only to see a whole bunch of stuff that hes never seen before.

Merlin freaks out, tries to play it off as some weird experiments and stuff hes been collecting but gaius can feel it, somethings different about these items, not wrong but not right. Not really magic either.

It takes 3 weeks of gaius pestering him before merlin breaks and explains to him that he IS A TIME TRAVELER. after the battle of camlan as we know it that lead to arthurs death, merlin did wait, he really did, but in the year 2020 when arthur didnt return for yet another global crisis, merlin broke and did spell upon spell until he figured out how throw himself back in time.

And holy shit did it work well. He managed to come back just at the perfect time to change everything that needed to be done to assure that everyone lives happily and safely, and when he realises hes done it, he decides to stay in this time. See his friends and family grow old as they should have. See arthur rule as he should have. Live the life he has been craving to go back to for centuries now.

Until a month in he realises how old everything is. Sure merlin can survive without his phone and stuff but theres a few things he really misses. Like his slippers, his potato peeler, his favourite hoodie, and especially his favourite tea flavours.

So once in a while he allowed himself to go back to the modern day and bring one thing back. He started with a scented candle, because candles exist in camelot and having one here shouldn’t mess up time right? Then moved onto a herbal tea that he knows if he traveled past the boarders he may be able to find similar ingredients.

Then he brings a new release of his favourite book series because he cant help it and realises small things like that dont change time.

And so thats what he’s been hiding away in his room, all of his modern day stuff. Ranging from trinkets hes collected over his life to his favourite scarf to his stuffed lion that he won at a fair in the 80s. He doesn’t go back often, only when his tea runs out or he really needs something, he tries to limit it he really does.

It takes gaius another 4 weeks to wrap his head around it all. Another 2 weeks after that to touch merlins stuffed lion thinking it may attack him at any moment.

He makes gaius promise to not tell a soul, offering him tea bags as payment. They have a nice system from then on, gaius would try a new flavour of tea everytime merlin returned, once in a while he would also bring a modern day snack (gaius yelled when he first tried salt and vinegar crisps).

A yell which led to leon finding out. And so a cycle began.

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.

Merleon after being immortal for a couple centuries

Golden Age King Arthur accidentally gets sent back in time to the beginning of his reign. While making his way to Camelot hoping to find Merlin and figure out how to get back to his own time he runs into Agravaine making his own way to Camelot for the first time. Knowing he was a traitor working for Morgana in his own timeline, Arthur kills him and decides to take his place. No one had seen Agravaine since Ygraine's death, there were no portraits of him in the castle, and Arthur's premature greying hair has to be good for something other than Merlin calling him a silver fox. He can pass as his own uncle and be the caring advisor that young him deserved damn it!

I kind of wish Viv would stop changing the lore on things

Like, don't get me wrong, changing lore can help show good development of your writing skills from where you started.

What I'm saying is that Viv has a habit of changing lore or a character base off a popular ship or theory. Not to mention, she has another habit of spilling too much about her story.

Take Sir Pentious and Cherry Bomb being in a relationship as an example. They were never supposed to be in romantic relationship, instead Sir Pentious was supposed to have feelings for Rosie.

However, the fandom started to ship Sir Pentious and Cherry together, Viv changed it so Sir Pentious would have feelings for Cherry.

I just wished altogether that Viv would step back from the fandom just a bit, so she can hopefully stop the need to change the lore of Helluva or Hazbin to please the fandom.

Gravity falls au I came up with for funnies!

So this au started because I had an idea! What if Mabel and Dipper were the opposite, of summer them.

So basically, in California, Dipper was still awkward but got by just having fun. While Mabel was the smart twin!

Mabel didn't like being label the smart twin since that cause her to live under pressure that she never be known as anything else.

Dipper hated being known for nothing. He was always known as Mabel twin and nothing else. He would love to be labeled with something that isn't just nothing but Mabel twin.

When their parents sent them off to gravity falls. On the bus there. Mabel and Dipper come up with the plan to switch personality for the summer.

Just to know how it feels to be in each other shoes, even if it is just for one summer.

______________________________________

This au is for fun only, and I'm still working on it. But I thought it would make a fun parallel au (I explained how it parallel au later in another post, probably or if someone sends me asks about it)

Anyway, have a good rest of your day!

Plans for my posts for the next couple of weeks:

●I'm planning to post the rest of my episodes review of Hazbin Hotel

●Then, do a full season altogether review

●Finally, I do a how I would rewrite the characters and the show.

After all that, I will probably move on to Helluva Boss. And I'm planning to do the same thing as well.
