Merlin has Gold Eyes: Prompt/Idea

Magic turns eyes gold. Merlin is magic. Therefore his should be gold.

They start off blue, but the longer he’s in Camelot, the more his magic grows, the more in tune with the magic inside him he is, they slowly start to turn gold even when not casting spells.

It starts slowly, almost unnoticeable at first. Just little flecks of gold in his irises that could just be a trick of the light. But then there’s more and more. The blue is turning to gold and staying that way. There’s nothing he can do to stop it.

Arthur’s love language is gift giving, always has been. He realises this when he returns to a modern Albion full of all these new terms and words and definitions. Back before he died, he didn’t have the time to properly make things for his loved ones as he was the King and he was incredibly serious about his duties.

Yet when he returns to a modern world, he finds himself crown-less and with a lot of spare time. Cue discovering YouTube and google, how-to-tutorials, craft books and step by step guides.

Back in Camelot, Merlin was a nightmare to get things for, nothing flashy or expensive or Arthur would have his ear nagged off about wasting money. But now? Paper and paint seem to be limitless to Arthur and he’s just learnt what origami is.

Merlin comes across him one morning to find the returned king fast asleep and surrounded by hundreds of painted paper dragons. It’s the best gift the immortal has ever received.

Headcanon that Merlin saved a lot of stuff from Camelot for when Arthur returned.

Including Arthur’s favourite wine.

But, with everything else that he was dealing with, he overlooked the fact that wine ages.

So when Arthur gets back and Merlin gets all his things out of storage, he and Arthur get way too drunk on one glass of wine each.

Like, unreasonably extremely pissed kind of drunk.

They both swear off alcohol forever after that

I REALLY LIKE the idea of Arthur, Gwen, and the knights coming back out of the lake without a Merlin there to meet them.

And they're like super confused (and soaking wet) and either a random pedestrian takes pity on them or they have to figure shit out on their own but either way they get accustomed to modern society eventually and one of them gets curious enough to look through history books.

At first, they're just learning about the past because it's interesting (and they want to find something about Merlin) and someone points out a particular painting that looks like the knights of the round table???

so they start paying a bit more attention.

And even though there aren't many photos for the older times, There's this interesting name that keeps popping up.. Emrys, I think it's called?

Merlin: You're a vampire.

Vampire Arthur: *smirks* Yes.

Merlin: *loud tired sigh* Oh my god that's lame as fuck.

Vampire Arthur: *offended* Excuse me? I'll have you know—hey wait!

Merlin: I'm going home. Go bother someone else.

Vampire Arthur: *curious* You...don't seem surprised or frightened.

Merlin: *ignoring Arthur as he continues walking*

Vampire Arthur: *following close behind* Have we met before?

Merlin: *stops walking, looks over his shoulder at Arthur* Once upon time we did.

Concept: Merlin knows what dying is. In praxis only. He's died before, he understands the dynamic. First time he died he was in a pond and drowned.

When he comes to Camelot and sees his first execution, he understands why it's a punishment. What he doesn't understand is why the man doesn't stand up. Nor why his mother is so angry.

Merlin: say, how long is that Colins man supposed to burn?

Arthur: Merlin. He's dead.

Merlin: surely you can release him, then. Or does he have to die more than once?

Arthur: more than - Merlin, are you stupid?

When Arthur fails to save Merlin from the poison that the idiot drank for him, he doesn't expect Merlin to talk to him again.

Merlin: wow, that was painful

Arthur: ... what. How? You were dead!!!

Merlin: I know. Crazy, right? But I think I'm getting used to it.

Half of the Canon events don't happen because Merlin is convinced Arthur's death is no biggie.

Post-return & reincarnated Arthur but it’s Arthur, 6 years old, trying to learn how to send a letter to the Great Emrys after he saw him on TV then crying when his father tells him he won’t read it. Then Arthur 14 year old trying to learn magic because he wants to be ‘’Merlin’s apprentice’’ but falling miserably.

Some sort of 5+1 times, 5 times Arthur tried to come back to merlin and one times he succeed

#merthur #I just noticed that this could also be a ‘before Arthur got his memory back he developed a frankly embarrassing celebrity crush on his #bestie and now he has to live with the fact that all his friends know and now they KNOW’’ #which could be endlessly funny #arthur : *say something * #Morgana : Sorry I can’t hear you over your ONE METER AND 50 CENTIMETERS LONG 89 CENTIMETERS WIDE poster of MERlin #and your 15 CENTIMETERS HIGHT AND 10 CENTI- #Arthur : MORGANA #Merlin : his what now #arthur pendragon #arthur returns #my shit #immortal merlin #merlin emrys #merlin bbc

Rmbr that old headcanon that Kilgarrah was transfigured into a bitch ass cat and Merlin decided to put up with his annoying ass for centuries so that he wouldn't go mad? Yeah me too

.... I realized the horrible implications that come from Merlin existing in the same universe as Hogwarts so I googled it and it says he was a slytherin student who "went on to do great things" guys that means that Hogwarts was founded BEFORE the prophecy came to fruition which doesn't work with BBC Merlin's plot/timeliness at alllll

In order to fit my hc's I'm gonna say he made himself look young with potions in order to study after Arthur died or maybe he just started doing magic w/o speaking and people were so impressed that they gave him a job!

My personal fav take is that he is a gay uncle but in a depressed hippie kinda way

I feel like as a fandom we don't talk enough about the Fisher King. No, I don't mean the actual episode - that is an entire other post in itself. I mean the actual Fisher King.

How Merlin meets an ancient being that was well cared for and loved, who has lived for centuries to the point that his actual name has been forgotten and all that is left of him is a desolate land and crumbling castle.

And that the King that Merlin meets doesn't ask for greeting or hospitality, but instead death.

Isn't it such a coincidence that a powerful person has stayed waiting for the time of the Once and Future King? Left, forgotten, aged, exhausted and begging for an end?

The Fisher King isn't a foreshadowing for Arthur's failed destiny, but Merlin's eternal doom.

The Fisher King is Merlin's later parallel.

Reincarnation au where everyone comes back/modern Merlin headcanon

Merlin and Morgana would be best friends.

It definitely takes a long time. They talk about their issues with a fair amount of violence and magical battles, but then eventually get to a point where they can stand to be in the same room together without committing war crimes against each other.

After a while, Merlin is struggling with something and Morgana begrudgingly helps him out.

They begin a tentative friendship that builds slowly after that until one day, Morgana needs help with something modern and goes to Merlin saying something along the lines of: “you killed me, you owe me this.”

So begins the running joke and beginning of a beautiful horrifyingly chaotic friendship.

Morgana asking for Merlin to buy her a drink, specifying without poison this time

Merlin asking Morgana to cat sit because she put her pet snake in his neck that time

Morgana tells Merlin he’s got to help her move into her own flat because he was really crap at killing Arthur that one time

Merlin asks Morgana for help getting out of work because of all the times she kidnapped him and got him in trouble with Arthur

Morgana asking Merlin to drive her around since he was so good at driving her out of Camelot

Merlin getting Morgana to buy him a coffee because she stole his magic

It takes a while, it’s not until one of their friends asks why they spend time together if they hate each other that Merlin and Morgana look at each other, then they both realise they’re friends now and break down laughing hysterically. It terrifies everyone, thinking they’re having a breakdown or something, but they clear up that they’re good friends, just that they’ve got a dark sense of humour.

Everyone just looks on horrified because they don’t have context for most of their jokes, but at least they’re getting on so is it really worth questioning it?

Everyone just learns to live with it.

Based on one particular post from @bitsandbobsofwriting (but like- different) which I will look for and link eventually

Arthur: How can we be sure that the goddesses truly did what they said?

Freshly immortal Leon: While I don't think they lied to me, some assurance would be most appreciated.

Goddess person: alright fine, I'll show you.

*Poof!*

20th!Century Merlin & Leon *dressed in bright pink clothes on their way to see the Barbie movie*: IM A BARBIE GIRL, IN A BARBIE WOOORLLDDD! LIFE IN PLASTIC, ITS FAN- HOLY FUCK
