Doodled Merlin and Leon because they never leave my mind
Merlin : Here's some advice
Leon: I didn't ask for any?
Merlin : Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts and you're the only one who’s still alive.
Merlin on his most respectful day.
Merlin: Hey, mom, can I throw away these old things that no one is eating?
Hunith *distracted*: You can, dear.
Merlin: okay, you heard it, Gaius, let's go.
Gaius: 😮
Hunith: No, no, Merlin, wait, son, not that old man🤣
Merlin: Oh, okay then, and can I throw away that old man over there? *points to Uther*
Uther: 😡
Arthur and Morgana: You can throw him away!
Merlin and Leon being immortal doesn't stop any wounds from scarring, they play as a reminder of what kills them every single time, and they can very much still feel pain from them.
So they took to treating the others wounds whenever they’re bothering them after they found out about each others immortality.
I'd imagine they both always have backup bandages and salve with them just in case the others scars start to bother them.
They sneak into each other's chambers (mainly Leon's) whenever they want to check over the other's scars, which most of the time ends up with them falling asleep in each other's rooms (which has caused many rumors..)
They also have matching scars, Merlin's burn scar from Nimueh and Leon's burn scars from Kilgharrah (headcanon) so they know exactly what the other went through.
thinking about how immortal merleon actually get together
they might have been attracted to each other in camelot, but i think they both would have been too busy to realize it, especially merlin
the first few years without the others are hard. theyre in mourning and so they never consider their feelings
once they start to move on, they part ways for a while, trying to figure out who they are individually in this new life
they find each other again, of course, then drift off, then back together, many times over the years.
theyre never surprised when they find their way back to each other, it just makes sense to be back with the other
one day, after about 150 years, merlin mentions that his magic always seems calmer when he's with leon. he can control it better, like in the golden days of camelot when he was surrounded by everyone he loved.
it takes another 30+ years (they both stopped counting after a while) for leon to realize why it always felt so right being together
he'd loved the man for hundreds of years, its why he always instictively looks for him, even if he knows he's nowhere around
its why when they finally find each other again, he feels like he can breathe properly.
at first he isnt sure if merlin feels the same, but then he remembers merlin's magic comes as easy to him as breathing. they feel the exact same way
so he plucks up the courage to say something the next time he sees the man.
which somehow happens to be the very next day, almost as if merlin felt the same pull in his chest that leon was feeling
leon doesnt hesitate to tell merlin how he feels, and how long he thinks he's felt it
merlin, of course, beams at him and tells him he had just had the same epiphany the day before
they never part after that.

<-Prev / Next ->
Arthur & co getting transported to the time before magic was outlawed and preparing for a dark and scary world of bloodshed and horror only to find a world that shines and gleams with happy, smiling faces and magic flying free. Sorcerers are a natural part of daily life and are no different than the average citizen. Arthur is a bit stumped and Merlin is overjoyed, practically bursting with joy as he takes in the world around him. He keeps running off to perform magic openly but Arthur worries about him getting hurt bc he doesn’t trust this world so Merlin has to keep sneaking away but Arthur just keeps chasing after him and Merlin keeps running away and Arthur…eventually buys a child safety harness (cough a leash cough) to keep Merlin with him. Lancelot helps him break out. Arthur puts them both on a leash- I mean, child safety harness. Gwaine busts them out bc hes a slut for casual treason and pissing off Arthur
Illegally streaming the Turkish dub of Merlin with auto-translated English subtitles as god intended
Gaius has his priorities straight at the Round Table
Elyan is a little more self deprecating in this version
At least the knighting ceremony is going well. Up Knight has risen.
The Mercelot of it all lmao???
Arthur goes rogue due to the stress
Introducing ✨Circuswain✨
New headcanon: Lancelot gave Merlin the purple shirt because when he became a knight he could afford nice things and thought Merlin should have something nice too.
the immortal lives a lonely life
In this au, Merlin's frequent use of magic is causing a gradual transformation where he slowly develops dragon like traits (long hair, long teeth, etc..)
While he can manage the physical changes with haircuts and filing his teeth, the psychological impact is far more profound. He's becoming increasingly possessive and restless, exhibiting traits of a dragon guarding its hoard.
"Gaius, I don't understand why I feel so ill," Merlin says, his voice strained.
"Merlin, as a Dragonlord, it's possible you're experiencing hoard sickness," Gaius explains. "Dragons possess hoards of treasure and are fiercely protective of them. When deprived of their hoard, they suffer a debilitating fever until they reclaim it."
"A hoard? What could that be?" Merlin asks, bewildered.
"Think, Merlin. Has anything recently captured your attention or become particularly precious to you?" Gaius inquires.
Merlin struggles to recall, his mind clouded by a growing sense of unease.
As the months pass, Merlin's condition worsens. He struggles to fulfill his duties, his energy waning, and his personality shifting. He becomes short-tempered and withdrawn. The knights, Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen notice his decline, attributing it to a lingering illness. Arthur lessens his chores, and everyone gives him space, unintentionally isolating him further.
One night, the concerned group gathers secretly in Gaius's chambers, defying his orders to leave Merlin undisturbed.
"I can't believe we're doing this," Arthur mutters.
"Arthur," Morgana reassures him. "We're here to see Merlin. Besides, if Gaius catches us, we'll say we had urgent concerns."
"Still, this feels..." Arthur trails off.
"Relax, Princess," Gwaine interjects. "Everything will be fine. Don't pretend you don't miss him."
Suddenly, they hear voices and quickly hide. Merlin emerges, followed by a frustrated Gaius.
"I told you, I'm fine!" Merlin insists, his voice hoarse.
"No, you're not!" Gaius retorts.
"I said I'm fine!" Merlin's eyes flash gold, and a nearby vase shatters.
"It's alright, Merlin," Gaius soothes. "Here, try this new potion."
Merlin drinks the potion, then immediately vomits. "Ugh... I'm so sorry, Gaius. I don't know what's happening to me. It feels like I'm losing my mind."
"It's probably nothing," Gaius says, though his expression is troubled. "You just need rest and medicine."
The group witnesses this unsettling scene, their concern deepening. They realize Merlin's "illness" is far more complex than they ever imagined.
i like the genre of animal photos where you can tell they just dipped their face into a carcass and they dont even care (artistic interpretation)
thinking about how in the coming of arthur merlin said he had sent for lancelot and lancelot said he knew merlin too well to know when he was lying. so they were absolutely in communication before then since their only interactions were in two episodes before that, which is hardly enough time to be able to tell when someone is lying or not. now im thinking about mercelot writing love letters between seasons 2 and 3 and falling in love without realising it.
Let it be known that I also love Morgana x Gwen but they usually flirt pretty normally aside from the whole evil Morgana manipulation plot point but I couldn’t find a good screenshot to encapsulate that
constantly thinking about that post that was like “if Lance and Gwaine had gotten more screen time together Gwaine would’ve had an intense one sided rivalry with him” because i think it would be so funny
I'm obsessed with this so I need to write it down : AU where merlin has to reveal his magic to save them all but it's very very likely he will die so he turns to Lancelot and says "My name, can you remember my name? ". Arthur & the others knights are confuse but Lancelot understand what it means. Sorcerer aren't allowed to have a burial, they never even get a trial. Thus their name are never written down, forgotten like their ashes in the wind.
"I will"
He will, he will speak of it and one thousand years later no one will remember the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth by the name Emrys. They will only know Merlin.
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
You know what would be funny? If Gwaine 'I'm a noble who thinks knights are silly' and Lancelot 'My only dream is to be a knight' were at Camelot at the same time.
Why it would be funny is because you know Merlin would be like 'I have a great solution'
And either convinces Gwaine to 'trade' places I.E. give Lancelot his seal of nobility or convince them to pretend to be brothers.
Which lead to shennanagains where Gwaine has to teach Lancelot how to act like a noble and Lancelot having to act like none of this is new and confusing to him
Also gaslighting Arthur, 'what do you mean that's not the way, I've done it this way my entire life' and it's not a lie it's just a commoner's way.
Gwaine is having the time of his life doing chores with Merlin and flirting with Morgana and generally making a nuisance of himself.
They also both know of his magic so there are those shennanagains going on, Gwaine swearing Merlin was in the tavern with him all night and Lancelot too, of course, he was there, someone had to carry Merlin home because Lancelot and Merlin are both missing, off fighting whatever evil is trying to kill Arthur/Uther this hour of the day.
Just imagine how funny it would be.
LMFAO toxic polycule with three way cheating all around. Arthur and Gwen are married but Gwen is also having an affair with Lancelot who is having an affair with Merlin who is having an affair with Arthur who is having an affair with Lancelot who is having an affair with Gwen who is having an affair with Merlin- idk how they get caught/exposed/confess but I just think toxic polycule whatever the fuck their ship name is is kinda funny. Also. Gwaine is there? For some reason? Hes Merlin’s boytoy on the side. Arthur has angry sex with him when the agony of lying to your three lovers gets too much and Gwaine pushes him just far enough. Oh, and Gwaine’s boyfriend Percival is over there holding hands with his boyfriend Elyan who is also Gwaine’s boyfriend.
Oh. This is definitely all leading up to Camelot being a huge polycule. Isn’t it? Leon is in a qpr with all of them. And hates it. (Just kidding, he loves all his idiots. He just wishes they made better decisions. Or let him rest.)
lol Morgana betrayed Camelot bc she got voted out of the polycule. Gwen stands with her hot canceled wife.
Idk where this is going anymore. It started off being a silly haha mutual cheating idea I was laughing at but now. Now we’re here.
Arthur can’t look Merlin in the eyes, whenever he tells him to leave:
He just can’t.
btw whenever Arthur's talking to Merlin and he tags on "Merlin" at the beginning, end, or in the middle of his sentence for seemingly no reason, it's because he's showing his love.
keep track of how many times Arthur unnecessarily tags on Merlin's name. he loves saying his name. he loves the way it rolls of his tongue. he loves that it's a way to have Merlin in his mouth without the vulnerability.
it's his love language
Passed down like folk songs, our love last so long.
Because it’s still Arthur and Merlin, after all these years. Together. Intertwined in countless tales interwoven with the history of these lands. Arthur and Merlin still fall together from people’s lips as they teach the next generation of the once and future great king and his sorcerer. Their names are still written in ink alongside the other on the page of yet another Arthuriana. Inextricable and integral. Together.
I'm continuing my very lengthy ff (after I finally finished my exams whoop) and I'm currently in a scene where Morgana thinks there is an intruder in the castle but it turns out it's just Percy and Gwaine making out in the middle of the hallway and I just wrote the sentence:
"How well I will sleep tonight, knowing, should someone decide to kidnap me again, they will be scared off by Arthur's troops of excited manwhores."
And how is your day going?
gwaine and will would’ve been best friends. no, think about it. they had one-sided beef with nobles that stems from how their father died and they initially only helped arthur for merlin’s sake. i feel like they would’ve either gotten along great or become each other’s worst enemy
The envy Arthur and Lancelot would have had for each other must have been insane.
Because Merlin is secretive with Lancelot. He tells him things he would never tell Arthur, he opens up to him and Arthur knows he can never have that trust. Never have that closeness not while he’s king and Merlin a servant.
But to Lancelot he’s been secretive about protecting Arthur. It all resolves around Arthur, opening up about protecting Arthur, giggling over using magic to please Arthur. Lancelot knows it will never be him on the other side of the devotion not like this.
just like he will never be Gwen’s because she loved him once yes but at the end of the day it’s Arthur she chooses.
and in Arthur’s eyes Lancelot is Gwen’s first love will always be known as such and will always be looked at as such even if she loves him she loved Lancelot first and Arthur can’t help but think if she could have him she would.
Anyway I’m so sane about them and at the end of the day how they still understand why it’s like this because they would choose the other as well.

bro: "so does merlin take them all at once or individually?"

bro: so his fuckbuddy was resurected but turned straight
NEED I SAY MORE???
Did they just reveal everything big in season 2?
i think arthur started loving merlin in episode 1 btw he didn’t quite realize it but like the moment merlin talked back to him he was done for yeppp merlin didn’t reciprocate until arthur followed him back to ealdor tho and showed he cared not only for him, but his home and the people he loved
they were still too stupid to figure it out tho, but in my mind they start hooking up somewhere in season 2….
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.
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.
