MERTHUR WEEK 2020 day two: favorite merlin quote

Modern AU where Merlin has a favorite chinese restaurant that he goes to and he eventually befriends the owner, Kilgharrah. Every time Merlin asks him for advice, he just places a fortune cookie on the table and walks away.

My Father? He was a Dragonlord? Why did no one ever tell me?!

I wanted to. Your mother feared it would be too dangerous.

Uther: Am I in hell?

Gaius: No, Uther. If you were in hell, you'd be on a throne and the devil would be packing.

"Who is Arthur's best and most trusted friend?"

Arthur: I don’t have friends, I can’t afford to as crown prince. As for trust, I of course have complete faith in my knights. Thats all. Nobody else. Nope.

Merlin: Probably himself, the egotistical prat.

Morgana: Merlin, though Arthur won’t ever admit it.

Gwen: Merlin.

Leon: Merlin, who is well deserved of Arthur’s trust.

Gwaine: Merlin.

Elyan, Percival and Lancelot: Merlin.

Mordred: Merlin. Like, super intense friendship there, I don’t know if its healthy.

Gaius: Merlin.

Hunith: Merlin.

Camelot: Merlin.

Kilgharrah: The other half of the coin.

Morgause: Merlin.

Uther: Without a doubt that idiot serving boy. Marvin? Mertin? Merlin that’s it. Far too close for a servant but he has proven himself a loyal ally against magic.

Say what you want about BBC Merlin, but none of the actors had to go as hard as they did with their performances. It was a show for kids, the CGI was shite, and on Robin Hood (which was the series before Merlin) no one except Richard Armitage bothered to act as seriously. 

But the fact that they did is what makes it so popular, what makes it endure, what pushes it and its characters and ships up the list in the fandom metrics each year. The actors took it seriously, they left an amazing legacy, particularly Colin Morgan and Bradley James. Even the devastation of the ending couldn’t break the fandom apart because it was sad, but it was so well done you almost didn’t mind. And that’s why a show which ended eight years ago is still so strong in the hearts of so many people.
