The difference between Uther and Gaius / Arthur and Merlin is that uther didn't accept gaius completely. Their loyalty to each other was based on uther's condition that you must leave magic, which it was a big part of gaius's life, so it was like leaving a part of himself and all his memories for Uther and guarantee for his life, as for Arthur he didn't care at all about Merlin having magic, than that Merlin didn't trust him enough to tell him, and what Arthur did ? he told him that he didn't want him to change and accepted him completely and without conditions

And he even fell in love with him more .

There's something about you, Merlin. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I want you to swear to me, what you're telling me is true.

I swear it's true. [X]

There's no way Merlin is a sorcerer. [X]

I'm only dropping by to make sure you're alright.

Thank you.

You too. [X]

The worst servant I've ever had.

Thank you sire. [X]

It's been an honour. [X]

I'm glad you're here Merlin. [X]

I'm happy to be your servant, till the day I die. [X]

Fluffy Dips

I guess we can call it a companion piece to this one?

[nightninjaboy]

These are the tiny moments I love. It’s the way Arthur’s eyes don’t leave Merlin after he looks away. Not only do they not leave him, but you can literally see his eyes flick around Merlin’s face.

It’s a moment just for Arthur. To observe and appreciate his friend up close. He even does a little gulp as he’s taking in his side profile, his cheekbones, his chin. His Merlin.

Arthur loves Merlin. He was destined to.

Someone said Arthur and Merlin couldn't keep their eyes away from each other

Welcome to my usual metas where we hyperfixate over Arthur Pendragon’s love for Merlin. Today’s episode features this scene right here:

To remind you of the context, it was s03e12 when Camelot was besieged and Arthur just ordered Gaius, Gwaine, and Elyan to go find shelter in the woods. A second later, he looks at Merlin, diverts his eyes, and tells him, “Merlin, you should go with them.”

Which btw translates, in Arthur Pendragon's dictionary, to: Merlin, I want you safe, I want you away from harm’s way, but Merlin, Oh Merlin, don’t leave me. I really don’t want you to leave me. I sustain my strength from you. You’re the bravest man I have ever met. I keep going because I know you’re there. Don’t go and leave me. I am urging you to go, but please don’t believe me.

I really just can’t. Because you guys, Arthur isn’t scared to go fight an entire army of the dead. He’s not scared that he is limping and injured and definitely won’t make it. He’s just scared to do it without Merlin.

And when Merlin looks at him and says, “Nah, I’ve seen the woods already”, Arthur knows Merlin had heard it all, and chose the kindest response possible that doesn’t spot on his worry and fear.

Those fucking two.

He forgot what his mission was in the first place. The idea of ​​losing Arthur was deeper and more terrifying to him than anything else, and this is what made him weak and made him always make the wrong decisions because he didn't want to hurt Arthur even a little. He couldn't bear that .

You know what gets me? The prophecy is that Merlin will help Arthur build a united kingdom where magic is free again. But at some point Merlin completely disregard the prophecy in favour of Arthur.

When Arthur finds out he's born of magic, Merlin reminds him magic is evil so that he may live without burden or ager.

When Mordred is dying, magic is evil because if we heal Mordred with magic he'll kill Arthur.

Magic and Albion are not part of the equation anymore. Arthur comes before anything else, even the prophecy itself

The thing about merthur is that if you see them happy you get sad, and if you see them sad, you get even sadder because you know how their story ended.

personally i dont think this screencap is acknowledged enough.

firstly, its adorable. look at arthur holding merlin's legs out of the way. its so typical for him to instinctually throw out an arm of Protection for his beloved manservant.

secondly, its fucking hilarious. whats this goofy position they've desperately rolled into so they dont get trampled by a rampaging beast. merlin is basically upside down and believe it or not gwaine is also back there somewhere

4.13 — The Sword in the Stone

[nightninjaboy]

Merlin isn't afraid that arthur will kill him if he discover his magic, he isn't afraid about people putting him on a pyre. He can snuff the fire if he wished to. He can cut sword (he literally does it as a 80 yo man)

Merlin is stronger than anyone else if he really wanted to, if he wasn't blocked by something else nothing could bare him from conquering the world.

Then what scare Merlin so much? What could make someone who is literally magic make himself appear weak, make him lie so many time that he starts to believe he can be stopped?

Love. Merlin is afraid to be unlovable. To be a monster. He is afraid to never find somewhere to belong to. That's what drive him and what pull him down.
