merlin rewrite where gwen finds out about merlins magic in s1. so gwen is always there with him whenever something magical happens. also merlin finally has good advice from gwen instead of just gauis and the gecko. gwen also just does things for him no questions asked.

like merlin shows up at her doorstep dripping wet talking about a serial killing merman, and she just goes and brings out a sword and says ok lets go. merlin wasn't even there to ask her to fight but at this point he'll get all the assistance he can get.

everyone in the castle thinks they're dating cause they're always together. and they both go along with it cause it gives them an excuse to wander the town or castle alone whenever theres a magical threat.

arthur finds them in an abandoned room making a salt circle and burning herbs in a bowl and they just go "we're on a date" and "this is how commoners have a romantic date arthur, you wouldn't understand".

devastated myself with thoughts of arthur, gwen and merlin raising a little girl as heir to the throne. you know gwen would be so excited when she met her, and she'd be such a good mother i literally can't think about it too much or i'll die but she'd teach her how to be kind and compassionate but never ever take anyone's shit. and arthur. well arthur's scared at first because he doesn't really get girls (or that's what he hides behind when actually he's just terrified he doesn't know how to be a father) like morgana could swordfight but she was still what he considered "girly", so what does that mean? but he loves her desperately, she's his pride and joy, so of course he gets the blacksmith to make her a little sword for her tiny hands and starts teaching her how to fight. maybe it ends in silly games half the time because she's just a kid and arthur never really got to be one but it's fun and it's perfect and it's happy. merlin watches from the sidelines fond and proud and so full of love he can barely breathe with it. when she gets a little older arthur starts letting her train with the knights so she can learn different fighting styles and they all let her win when she starts looking tired and they die very dramatic deaths just to make her giggle. and merlin. merlin would quite literally make mountains fall to make that little girl happy. he performs every trick she asks and takes her to meet aithusa at least once a week and maybe even teaches her a spell or two. and arthur watches this from the sidelines so fond and proud and full of love that he aches and he wonders how he ever thought this was evil - how he ever thought merlin wasn't this man who would conjure butterflies with the snap of his fingers just to see a little girl smile. and do you see it? how the power throuple of camelot becomes The parenting unit of all time?

#sami rambles #she's called morgan... #also bonus points if she actually is magic and merlin teaches her and arthur freaks out about it so much bc like. ingrained biases. #but two of the people he loves most have this special gift so really how could it ever be evil #ANYWAY #i just think gwen and arthur and merlin would make a fantastic parental unit and i want to cry #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #guinevere #merthur #gwenthur #merlin x arthur #merlin x arthur x gwen #gwen x arthur #mergwenthur

AU where Morgana enchants Merlin and Gwen to have an affair instead of bringing Lancelot back, believing it’ll destroy Arthur to have the two people closest to him betray him, but it backfires because the three of them decide to become a throuple

just close your eyes, the sun is going down

you’ll be alright, no one can hurt you now

come morning light, you and i’ll be safe and sound.

not long after artur’s death, come the nightmares. the queen and the magician find each other then; and while they don’t quite fit together, not really, never will, the new emptiness never filled, holding each other at night keeps them sane enough.

the nightmares still come, of course, and arthur’s still dead at the bottom of the lake. but he remains, in a way, in the two people he loved; and they guard him, his love forever safe between their warm bodies.

#merlin #mergwenthur #i kept thinking how the fuck they didn’t go insane after arthur died #and i think they did #but also that they clung together and that helped in a way #i’m not crying you are #look at the way they’re wrapped around with that red sheet #yes that’s arthur #and the gap/hole between them #that’s arthur too #merlin bbc #arthur pendragon #merthur #merlin fanart #mergwen #gwen pendragon #guinivere #guinevere pendragon #taylor swift #safe and sound

There's a huge gossip mill in the castle of Camelot. Servants talking about rumours they've heard while doing chores, passing info along as they pass each other in the hall, nobles as they gather for feasts and drinks.

So, there are definitely rumours about how close the king and his manservant are. Many servants secretly pity the queen, that the king would take another lover. However, just as many pity the king for the same reason, thinking that Gwen is the one having an affair with Merlin.

Obviously the castle is very divided. Many people, servants and nobles alike, have tried to catch them in the act. So far none have been successful. Not that they have much opportunity to try, the three are almost inseparable.

Meanwhile Arthur, Gwen, and Merlin, who are all oblivious to the gossip and attempts at catching them in a scandal, are just happily married and doing nothing to hide it.

#mergwenthur #bbc merlin #i was gonna actually write something about it #but this is all i really have #writing #fanfic #i love the idea of camelot spreading gossip like a wildfire #especially the servants #merlin fanfic #also i love mergwenthur #the three of them love each other #even if you dont ship it #their friendship is everything #i wish there was more hijinks with all of them together

Can I interest you in some Merwenthur on this fine day?

Call It Anything We Want (15k words)

Summary: After Gwen and Arthur's fantasies about Merlin turn into reality, they are left trying to navigate their new relationship with him. It isn't easy.

(The unofficial sequel to Choose and Choose and Choose by fleete.)

* * * *

“How much longer, do you think?” Merlin whispers into Gwen’s ear.

They’re sitting on the edge of Gwen and Arthur’s bed, Gwen in Merlin’s lap, her breasts peeking out of her half-unlaced bodice.

It’s something they like to do when they are kissing like this — this private talk. What started as small encouragements and kind reassurances has, over time, turned into remarks of an entirely different nature.

Even with her husband watching it feels illicit and daring, and it excites Gwen to no end. She loves to feel Merlin’s hot breath against her ear, the way his chest rumbles softly under her hands when he speaks.

And oh, the things he says.

That Merlin could think such things — let alone say them — is shocking. That Gwen would love to hear them, even more so.

exposure therapy, except its me telling my mum that merthur can be a romantic ship and not just platonic

#bbc merlin #merthur #shes an arwen shipper through and through #which… same #but merthur and morgwen and mergwenthur also have a special place in my heart

[castelled-away]

So I was reading this cool Mergwenthur fic (https://archiveofourown.org/series/3591679), where the 3 of them have a baby girl & they call her YGRAINE 🥹, which just REEKS of Arthur’s sappyness over his own dead mother.

And I would just like to say that, yes, Arthur would totally name his daughter after his mother but if he had had a son, Arthur Pendragon would never EVER call his baby boy Uther after his shitty shitty father. Just so you know. He would not fucking do that.

Also I’d imagine Gwen and/or AT LEAST Merlin (hello??!?) to have several objections against that decision.

#thanks for coming to my tedtalk where I just vomit my opinions out of my mouth :) #mergwenthur #merwenthur #fanfic recs #fanfiction recommendation #ALSO. check out the fic & the extra vignettes!!!! #They’ll give you a HUGE serotonin boost if you are a mergwenthur shipper #i personally love this au collection to bits #bbc merlin #ao3 #maybe he’d name his son after Merlin’s or Gwen’s fathers tho?? #Tom or Balinor. that are way better options #(​or maybe he drags out enough creativity to make one up) #(or leaves it to Gwen & Merlin) #minee

Belated Mergwenthur Week fic! Will be 3 chapters in total

Summary:

It was something that crept up on him. Arthur had long suspected Merlin’s feelings for him were not entirely platonic. He didn’t think Merlin would ever act on it—let alone that his own feelings might change.

But when Arthur is the one to act, when he kisses Merlin--without thought or plan on either end--it feels as natural and inevitable as when Arthur had first kissed Gwen. It would have been a beautiful moment, if not for the fact that they were both immediately consumed by guilt and horror at the line Arthur has crossed.

It takes Arthur a whole day to work up the courage to tell Gwen, panicked by his attraction to more than just women. He expects her to be upset. To cry. Perhaps to throw things at him. He’d deserve it.

Instead, she just smiles. "Well," she says. "That was a long time coming, wasn't it?"

OR

If a Merthur kiss had indeed happened in Season 5. You can't convince me Gwen didn't see this coming a mile away, but bi and demi Arthur is having a confusing day. He has mistakes he must now mend, both with Gwen and with Merlin. For Mergwenthur Week "Free Day"

Sorry guys but no vote for wincest from me in the next round it's up against Merthur

#tbh i find both ships boring if they're romantic #prefer them as qpr #or in case of merthur also as part of poly mergwenthur #but i'm in the throes of a merlin hyperfixation as of last week so... #tumblr things

Gwen with Merlin and Arthur

Seeing them together is so nice since I was gonna have a doll for her last year, but the wrong resin color was in the receipt. I’m excited to do her faceup when spring comes and making her look even more like Gwen 😊

#the wig I’ve been holding onto for some months now since this was the wig I got for the other doll #the braids are so cute #I also can’t wait to take some more pictures tomorrow #like I had to use the shadow of my house since it’s so bright right now lol #des says stuff #bjd #bjd doll #logan dolls #Logan dolls Willow #Gwen #mergwenthur

Ok, I've never really shipped mergwenthur because I'm a weirdo who will literally insert myself into the character's lives and get jealous on their behalf (like, when I first watched heartstopper and Nick said yes to going on a date with Imogen and I couldn't continue watching and find out that he didn't actually go on a date with her because I had to sleep, I was so hyper and jumpy and jealous for Charlie that my brother yelled at me) anyway, point is, initially, I was the same with Merlin and Gwen because she has what he doesn't but they're kinda?????? growing on me????????? not very much, not yet, but???????????????? AND NO I DO NOT HATE GWEN AT ALL SHE IS A SWEETHEART WHO I WOULD LITERALLY DIE/KILL FOR SO LET'S NOT EVEN GO THERE. But??????????????????????

#bbc merlin #merlin #gwen pendragon #arthur pendragon #mergwenthur #just me rambling #please ignore me #also #i will reiterate #I DO NOT HATE GWEN IN ANY SENSE #I'm just a tad insane #that's all

[adhd-merlin]

One thing Gwen loves about Merlin is that he gives himself so freely to those he cares about. His support, his advice, his affection — even his body, since this thing between them started. His mind, however. There are times when, looking at him, Gwen has the feeling that he’s holding something back. Like there is something just out of reach behind his eyes. She mentioned it to Arthur, once, wondering if he ever had the same impression, but he had laughed. “It’s Merlin,” he’d said, as if the idea was terribly amusing. “He's probably thinking about which of your gowns to nick when you’re not looking.”

#both gwen and arthur think merlin is into cross-dressing. canonically. #this is very important and we should all remember it #like did they ever talk about it. I think they talked about it. at least once #this is just a little vignette #about the universal female urge to interrogate your boyfriend(s) as they're about to fall asleep #and to touch their t¡ts also #enjoy i guess #btw! did you know that a single kudo is enough to sustain a praise-starved author for an entire week? #and a comment can last them a whole month #it's incredible. consider donating if you can #merwenthur #mergwenthur #merlin fanfic #merlin fanfiction #bbc merlin #merlin/arthur/gwen

gwen and merlin leaving arthur a trail to follow 🥺

#real mergwenthur feels with this one 😭 #s4e8 rewatch #ash watches merlin again #also him recognizing the little piece of gwen's tunic reminds me of the scene where they bring him a little piece of merlin's jacket 😭
