#maybe percival unknowingly saved lancelot from some bullies cuz lancelot was smaller than the other kids

I LITERALLY SPAT OUT MY MACARONI AND CHEESE WHEN THIS POPPED IN MY HEAD OKAY OKAY SO

WHAT IF PERCIVAL AND LANCELOT WERE FROM THE SAME VILLAGE???

id always wondered how the hell they knew eachother and became friends and yeah sure they probably just met one day and decided “im gonna travel with you lol” or something b u t

what if theyd known eachother since they were little?? i dont remember the details of how lancelot lost his home but ive read from fics that it had something to do with his village catching on fire and him being the only survivor??

so what if cenreds men had been the ones to raid their village? lancelot thought he was the only survivor, having come out where he hid once the fires started to die down (maybe he leaves afterwards, comes across another village and so on). percival on the other hand was ushered out into the woods by his parents (eventually comes to meet some druids cuz at this point im just accepting him being raised by druids as canon)

#maybe percival unknowingly saved lancelot from some bullies cuz lancelot was smaller than the other kids #and then lancelot is like ‘u saved me. i must pay u back!’ cuz hes all honorable and lancelot-y like that #and percys lonely cuz all the kids are scared of him so when he finally finds someone who wants to be his friend u bet ur ass he’ll latch #onto him like the big teddy bear he is #im just imagining them lying down in a meadow and lancelot going ‘im gonna be a knight one day :D’ and percy just humming in reply #lancelot #sir lancelot #percival #sir percival #lancelot du lac #headcanon #merlin headcanon #bbcmerlin #bbc merlin #bbcm #hc #prompt
