"show me some magic," arthur says to him one day on a hunt. it's been weeks since they've last spoken anything more than a necessary formality. arthur's jaw has been set tight the entire time, as if all the tension of learning about merlin's biggest secret has decided to settle there.

"i-- are you sure?"

arthur doesn't even look at him when he waves his hand, get on with it. merlin frowns. stares at a spot on the ground and watches as a flower blooms out of season.

arthur stares at it a moment too long before plucking it from the root. they ride home in silence.

"show me some magic," arthur says a couple nights later. merlin's readying his bath, and he's exhausted, and it's simple to just heat the water with a wave of his hand like he's used to doing in secret.

whatever tension arthur holds in his shoulders bleeds out when he sinks into the water.

"show me some magic," arthur says again, the next day, the next. they're all small acts, and though they haven't begun to really talk yet, it doesn't make things more awkward. in fact, arthur begins to let the sense of wonder play out on his normally unreadable face whenever merlin makes a spark of light appear.

slowly, they find their old repartee. it takes a while, a handful of more magic displays, but arthur finally seems to feel comfortable around merlin again, and it gives him hope that maybe there is a future they can build together, past this seemingly impenetrable wall they've built between them in the mean time.

"show me some magic," arthur says. "i can't sleep."

so merlin does. puts stars in his canopy and shows him fairytale scenes. before arthur dismisses him for the evening, he quietly says, "thank you."

the next day, arthur announces a progressive lift on the magic ban.

"show me some magic," arthur grins as he waves his hand around the tavern. merlin wants to say, here? now? but instead he makes a patron's ale bubble over and a drunkard trip. arthur laughs, then, for the first time in months, uninhibited.

it becomes a part of their routine. arthur likes the small, practical jokes merlin can play, but he also likes the beauty he can create. he asks for both, and merlin gives it to him, because it is for him, after all. all of it.

and the first time arthur calls out "magic!" during battle, merlin is all too ready to show him that, too.

it makes merlin brave, braver than he's ever been. this is arthur, keeper of his kingdom, his heart. merlin has been laid bare before him and arthur keeps asking show me, show me, show me.

"show me some magic," arthur says one night, when they're sitting by the fire that needs to be stoked and sharing the last piece of crusty bread.

merlin pauses. he can easily guide the flames higher. arthur's seen that trick before.

instead, he reaches over the distance between them. ghosts his fingertips over arthur's knuckles, before closing his hand over his.

arthur's brow draws tight, but beneath the confusion is that same sense of wonder that's always been there. there's something about you, merlin.

"what are you doing?" he asks, amusement laced with something daringly hopeful.

"showing you some magic," merlin says, and then kisses him.

WAIT ive just had a Thought. AU where, when they are coming up with a noble alias for Lancelot to use so he can become a knight, they end up stumbling upon Gwaine's family crest/history whatever (yeah i know he's technically from another kingdom so this doesn't totally work, just ignore that for a sec). And they're like, "hey, the son of this one knight mysteriously vanished and no one has heard from him in years, he probably won't mind if we steal his identity". So now Lancelot is going by the name Gwaine, and everyone totally buys it, which means Lancelot gets to stay in Camelot and join Arthur and Merlin on all their adventures.

That is, until season 3, when they meet the real Gwaine. Lancelot panics, bc if there are two Gwaines running around then people will figure out what he did and he'll lose his knighthood. Luckily, Gwaine has a brilliant solution: give him Lancelot's name. So now everyone calls Lancelot "Gwaine" and they call Gwaine "Lancelot", and Gwaine and Merlin are absolutely thriving amidst all this chaos, and Lancelot is very, very confused.

Currently drawing Dolores because she‘s underrated and I love her

So I drew some Chibi!Bokuto wearing an owl costume ^^ I dunno I’m not too content with it, but eh

Well Kageyama, looks like you’ve been exposed

Watching AoT with my mom Part 2

So she's been an Erwin stan from the beginning, right, like he's the only one whose name she actually remembers. And we've just reached the choosing Armin or Erwin episode. Here's a little best of of her comments during the whole ordeal:

"Ah! I knew Erwin was going to show up!" "Of course they're gonna turn him into a titan." "It's so obvious he's a titan shifter already, that's why he told Levi to give it to Armin!!!!"

Boy oh boy will she be disappointed once she realizes he ain't gonna come back

This!

I felt the same way when I finally watched Merlin a couple of months ago. I‘d been going through the worst four years of my life at the time but somehow this show woke something up inside of me that I thought I had lost many years ago. For the first time in possibly a decade I felt alive again, felt like myself! I really hold it dear to my heart and I‘m so very glad that the fandom is still this active and thriving because whenever I‘m relapsing to my old bad habits and mindsets I can pick up some fanfic or look at the amazing fanarts and feel a little better almost instantly.

Merlin is the first show I've cried over in a while. I'll see deeply profound posts abt it and just tear up like a mfer and it's exhilarating. I hate how much it makes me feel (lie) and I haven't felt so alive in at least a year. Merthur saved my life probably. :)

literally this............

look okay i am gonna get REAL cheesy

but when i first found merlin, i was 17, 18 years old. i was in a really pivotal time in my life and i was... so confident. so ready to take on the world. and these characters, they helped me. they were ready to take on the world, too, and i was ready to fight alongside them.

we drifted away, as we do. and i had... a really traumatic early 20s. one that made me lose myself. i no longer wanted to fight, to believe, to hope. survival was hard enough.

finding merlin again?

i feel like i am waking her up again. the person i was when i was ready to fight for what i believed in. i now want to pursue my lifelong dreams for the first time in years. i am passionate again. i am waking up.

merlin is an essential part of my life, and I am so glad to have him, and arthur, and gwen, and the knights, and Morgana, and all of you along with me.
