Leon: I need a drink
Leon: *pours apple juice in a shot glass*
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
For @forever-rewatching-merlin who made me cry over my most favourite merlin fic for the hundredth time.
Die For You In Secret by @emrysofmagic - In which Merlin and Lancelot start sleeping together at the end of season three, Arthur notices, Gwaine is all too perceptive, and Merlin realizes that the heart’s capacity for love is greater than he ever could have imagined.
Gaius: So I have a riddle for you. There are two islands connected by a bridge capable of holding only one hundred pounds. On one island, there is a gatekeeper who only lets you cross the bridge one time, and on the other island, there is a princess and an apple tree.
Merlin: Can I be both the apple tree and the princess?
Gaius: No. Shush. The princess weighs ninety-nine pounds, and each apple weighs half a pound. But she needs to get three apples across. How does she do this without collapsing the bridge?
Gwaine: WEAK-ASS BRIDGE! Who the FUCK was in charge of construction?
Gaius: No--
Arthur: You THROW one apple across, and you carry the other two just fine!
Gwaine: YEET THE FRUIT!
Percival: Or you roll it! Like a bowling ball!
Merlin: The gatekeeper is the singular pin, and if you don't knock him down, you lose crossing privileges.
Gaius: That's not--
Elyan: What time period is this in? Do dragons still exist? She can just tie an apple to a dragon and fly it over.
Gaius: She JUGGLES them! She juggles the apples! One apple is always in the air as she crosses! THAT is the answer! Holy shit.
Merlin:
Merlin: Dude
Gaius: What?
Merlin: Boat.
Arthur: Boat!
Elyan: Boat???
Percival: Boat!
Gwaine: BOAT!!!!
Gaius:
Gaius: I'm leaving.
