I absolutely love the idea of Arthur writing letters to Merlin saying all those things he couldn't say out loud. He would compose the most heartbreaking breathtaking well-written confessions of longing. But he would hide them in a chest that once belonged to his mother, careful Merlin wouldn't find them should he ever decide to do something outlandish like cleaning the kings chambers.
Now imagine Arthur gets poisoned and falls into a coma, so while Merlin searches everything to determine what happened he finds a spell to see what objects someone touched recently.
So he finds the chest and opens it, staring at dozens of letters addressed to him.
Naturally he would read them and find out about Arthur's love but still he had no clue how to wake him. That's when Morgana shows up telling Merlin she dreamed about the cure and she was fairly sure she could make it with Gaius help
A few hours later the potion was ready and given to the sleeping king, who woke to a sobbing Merlin with those letters in his hands
Sorry your boyfriend died and came back and died and came back and died and came back and died and came back again. He was trying to find you.
AU where Arthur finds out about the prophecy and pieces together that "his closest ally Emrys" must be Merlin because who else would it be, but incorrectly assumes that Merlin doesn't know and therefore has never practiced magic before.
Even better if he finds out early season 1 so He's just so devastated the entire time and he's just like "I can't believe this, this prophecy is going to turn my best friend into a sorcerer, and it's all my fault for being the once and future king" and Merlin's in the back just murdering a sidhe
weird way to look at ur employee tbh…somebody call hr…..
"Hi there mortal. So, I was in a pretty bad mood when I gave you that punishment, so I might have overreacted."
"I’ve been here for 2,000 years!" "Bad moods can last a while when you’re a god."
aw i love when these freaks share a brain cell
I'm deeply saddened to report that the final episode of Merlin did not in fact end in a different way when I did my annual Christmas Eve rewatch.
I am, however, very optimistic about next year!

What they do at those lectures ig
A little comfort for my baby Kacchan cause he needs it rn (I'm the one who needs it)
Sometimes when Merlin is trending without a reason, I think it is just Merlin checking if Arthur is back.
Since Tumblr would be the first to know if the Once and Future King is back.
