HELLO NEW BEST FRIEND, I JUAT GOT THE IDEA FOR A NEW MERLEON HEADCANON!!!!
The Purge began with the death of Queen Ygraine and the birth of Arthur. Before that, magic was legal and quite well-known amongst the nobility and common people, just a part of everyday life.
Leon would have been about 5 at the time magic was banned. Maybe six, as it took time for laws to be implemented across kingdoms.
There is a possibility there were people in his household who had magic. Maybe a servant who could clean his muddy clothes in a split second, so he didn't get into trouble. Maybe a nanny, or a tutor who could make the figurines in his storybooks come to life.
If Leon's father is half the man Leon is, there is a real possibility that his morals would have overshadowed his loyalty to the crown. So when the word comes by the King's messenger that all magic users are to be burnt alive, he send him back with the assurance that it will be done.
But instead, he start plotting.
Those who learnt magic and could stand to give it up did so. Those who couldn't, born with the innate ability, got help from a mysterious source to flee in the middle of the night, across the border to Dyfed and take a boat out of Albion, where magic was still welcomed.
And Leon, who is a curious little child, and confused as to why his father is disobeying the king, asks him knew night. And his father tells him "A man's loyalty to his morals must come before his loyalty to the crown, or he is bit a man at all, but a puppet with a sword."
And Leon remembers.
Leon obeys the crown. He joins the knighthood like his brothers, he serves his king, and he carries out Uther's orders without question.
And nobody but him notices when his blade cuts through grass or just tents instead of people. Nobody but him notices when his coin bag mysteriously falls a few feet away, conveniently right in front of the druid child hiding in the bushes. Nobody but him notices when he helps a child escape up a tree.
But the druids notice.
They notice when the child starts talking about the noble Knight of Camelot who helped them escape. And them another, who told them the same, and then another. It adds up.
So when their beloved Knight is dying, of course they will take notice. Of course they will pray to their goddess. Of course they will use the most powerful tool they have, the cup of life, to bring him back.
Even Gods listen when so many pray. They grant him the gift of immortality.
The druids aren't the only ones who notice.
The servants notice. They clean his armour, and his weaponry. Each and every time, it comes back bloodless. And if it doesn't, it's certainly not bloody enough to have been in a massacre.
Servants talk. Eventually, word reaches Gwen. And then, in her adorable way, she blurts it out at the most inopportune moment.
And Merlin finds out.
OOOO THIS IS SO COOL
ima add some thoughts to this….
Merlin would either immediately tell Leon about his magic like and idiot or not tell him anything and just get really close to him.
Everyone, including Leon, was heavily confused at to why Merlin was trying to get so close to Leon, he was practically stalking him.
Once Leon bumped into some Druids on patrol and was talked to them, Merlin, who was following him, tried to hide and hoped that none of them would notice him.
Of course, the Druids noticed and called him out, thinking surely Leon knew about Emrys and who he was.
And obviously, he didn’t.
Merlin realizing he had been caught, stepped out from the trees.
Leon was confused and terrified of Merlin being there.
Why was he here? Was he following him? Why? Would he tell Arthur what he saw?
Then he realized that the Druids had called him Emrys.
From being around the Druids so much Leon must have heard about Emrys, which only made him more confused,.
Why were they calling Merlin Emrys? Wasn’t he almost a god to the Druids? Merlin wasn’t a god. He was Merlin.
Apparently Merlin was not just Merlin, he was Emrys.
Leon and Merlin had a long talk after that, both having to explain the full story to each other (mostly on Merlin’s part)
They both grew very close after some awkward few days of processing what they learned about each other, so much so that people started to suspect they were courting.
Their denies of the accusations were not taken seriously, thinking they were just trying to keep their courtship secret.
Eventually, Arthur found out, who was not happy about two of his best friends courting.
Arthur demanded answers they couldn’t give, especially when Arthur wouldn’t take them just being friends as an answer.
So, as a last resort, they bought into the lie of them courting. Saying that they just realized their feelings over time.
This lie worked for a while, people still asked questions but most of them accepted the fact they wanted to keep their relationship lowkey.
This worked until they actually started to have feelings for each other.
OTP
Headcanon that both of them are equally matched during sparring/training.
Leon has a little bit more economy and structure, because its hard to shake the habit as he's been fighting that way since he was a child/squire.
Lancelot has less structure and a bit more flow, like muted down version of Gwaine's fighting style. There's structure to his strikes, but there's also the odd little flair or trick that catches Leon off guard, it comes from being a wandering Knight and having a different range of opponents.
Whenever they fight, they eye-flirt too. Like, full on facial expressions eye-flirt. It's honestly disgusting.
Their sparring is mesmerising to watch, and the added romantic tension just makes it better.
Merlin annoys Lancelot about it more than he annoyed Arthur about Gwen in cannon. It gets so bad that at some point, Kilgarrah asks Lancelot how his 'mate' is faring.
Arthur is the last to notice, obviously, but you can bet he slides a sly remark in every once in a while when he and Leon are going over inventory of weapons. Leon thinks he's kidding, until Arthur forgets the two of them are not actually together yet.
Arthur, completely obliviously: So when are you and Lancelot celebrating your anniversary? Isn't it some time this week?
Leon: ...
Arthur: ...🤨
Leon: ...my- my lord, Sir Lancelot and I are simply good friends.
Arthur: ...Wait, whAT? 😲
When they finally get together, it's because Gwaine got them drunk and they kissed in the tavern (after everyone told him it wouldn't work).
Nobody was surprised.
Not even Leon and Lancelot.

I had a thought and I need other people's thoughts:
Leon/Lancelot?

Gen:lock Idea
Just an idea that won't go away until I write it down. Not the best but here it goes.
This is an AU where somehow before Weller could bring is idea to Holcroft and the Polity he got captured by the Union. And everyone being younger as well. When finding his Gen:lock work, the Union found it interesting and made sure to weaponize it.
Since Gen:lock relied on the neurons of a young body the Union made sure to include children in the recruitment list. Which lead him to find everybody (including Leon) easier.
- Chase and team would be the range of 10 to let teen. Not even at their 20's.
Then came the experimenting, this leading to Chase's and Leon's physical problems. But eventually leading up to the children being able to fight (excluding Cammie, she is still too young even by Union standard)
When the Union was planning to finally attack New York, Weller knew he needed to get everybody out of there. The was no doubt that the Union would put even greater pressure to get Gen:lock field ready no matter what happened at the battle in New York. And Weller could no longer see his kids be suffer for progress of what was once his dream turned nightmare.
He was finally able to contact the Polity, and basically held himself hostage when they only wanted to retrieve him alone. But he would never leave his kids.
The day before the Battle of New York, Polity soldiers waited outside of some of the exits of the research facility. Waiting for their objectives to arrive.
Dr. Weller prepares his kids to be separated. The talks to them about the Polity and reassuring that they will meet again, somewhere where it was safe.
The kids are split like so:
- Valentina, Kazu, and Cammie
- Yaz and Chase
- Weller, Leon, and Sinclair
Valentina and Kazu make an excuse to leave the building, while Cammie is screaming and crying about a nightmare, to calm Cammie.
Yaz and Chase sneak out from the sleep guards.
Weller and and the rest just says he needs to check something and bam everyone is out.
It's only when they are running across the field does the Union finally realize their attempt to escape. They give chase only to find three hovercraft getting air and flying away.
That's all I have so far, but my brain wants to finish but I can't and I am not a writer by any means but this just wouldn't get out of my head. But I feel better now.
