arthur repealing the ban on magic and sitting merlin and morgana down to figure out who is going to be court sorcerer and ready to mediate a debate but before morgana can even open her mouth, merlin passes to position onto her. arthur and morgana just stare, morgana makes feeble attempts to spark an argument, to instigate merlin to at least fight for it. even arthur is like “…you don’t even want, like, a room or something for your magic work?? none of the perks?? a different position in the court?????” and merlin’s just like “nope! i’m good!” and morgana and arthur exchange a look before arthur asks why. merlin’s answer is that his position, where he belongs, is at arthur’s side. besides. morgana deserves it. she was snubbed from becoming queen so it was only fair.

Merlin is going to murder Arthur and rest of the round table knights(except Leon and Lancelot they're the most level-headed of the bunch) for getting ambushed on a stupid hunt on a beast they had no knowledge of without taking him.
Merlin: [grumbling to himself] I can't believe this–well I can–Arthur is an idiot, and the knights are also idiots for going along with it!
Morgana who is trudging by his side nods in agreement, both her and Merlin had warned Arthur of hunting down the unknown beast since they didn't know of its origins, if it was dangerous, or if it was weak against magic, of course Arthur didn't listen to them.
Morgause and Mordred follow quietly behind the court sorceress and the warlock consort as they came to stand beside them as they observed the unusual tracks; they were heading in the right direction at least.
Morgause: [hand on sword, looking boredly over to Merlin] It's moments like these I wonder why you married a foolish King.
Merlin: [massaging his head from the incoming headache, he glares half-heartedly back at Morgause] Because he's good at fucking me—uh, pretend I didn't say that.
There was silence between them, before Morgause barks out a hearty laugh(scaring away a few birds in the trees) with Morgana cackling next to her, Mordred on the other hand doesn't know whether to wish for the ground to swallow him whole or do as lord Emyrs says, pretend he didn't hear anything.
For his sanity's sake he will do exactly that.

BBC Merlin Fanfic Rec
Next to You (It's the Rule) [Merlin]
By: LunaMyLove
Completed. 8/8 chapters. 62,269 words.
Summary: Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
Or
Arthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.
Also, or
Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.

Love the headcanon that magic is legal in Queen Annis' kingdom.
One day, Arthur is invited, but he doesn't KNOW magic is legal there, so he obviously freaks out at first.
Arthur: aren't your crime rates skyrocketing when magic is legal?
Annis: *laughing* what? No. When magic is legal, it's not a crime that people commit, so it's much less, silly boy.
Arthur: but ... Doesn't it do harm?
Annis: more good than harm. Killing people is still illegal, so is theft. But you can't steal magic and when you have magic, it's unlikely for your crops to go bad, so people don't starve, which means less people get jealous or vengeful. The harm with magic is of course worse, but the protection is also more effective and crimes done BY magic get punished worse. So... We're regulating it kinda well.
Arthur is, needless to say... Amazed.
Not as amazed, however, as Merlin is. Merlin looks like he's absolutely thriving. Arthur has never seen Merlin smile as much or be as relaxed and he kind of looks like he belongs here. He seems to have a good sense for the quality of magical objects, seems to enjoy people using it for fun and entertainment.
And Arthur... Arthur's not sure what to do with that. He hates it, but...
Arthur: Merlin... I would understand if you wished to stay here. You seem... Happier than you do at home
Merlin: *laughs*, *realises Arthur is serious* i'm not going to leave you
Arthur: but you like it here! You... I've never seen you like this! You belong here! You just -
Merlin: I belong at your side. I just... Admire their lifestyle
Arthur: they are using magic.
Merlin: I know
Arthur: ... If... If magic were legal in camelot, would that make you happy?
Merlin: *freezes*
Arthur: I never thought it could be this peaceful. I feel like if it were legal... Things would change for the better. And you seem to have a good sense for these magic things, so maybe you could help me establish- holy shit, you're on fire
Merlin: *magic burst into literal flames*

King Arthur: *whispering* Merlin. Behave.
Consort Merlin: *pouting* Fine.
Arthur nods, as he turns to talk to some foreign noble, Merlin stands ready to leave when his wrist is firmly gripped by his lover
King Arthur: And where do you think you're going?
Consort Merlin: To our chamber's so I can stuff the wooden plug up my ars—
Arthur quickly gets up and sweeps Merlin into his arms, running out of the hall urgently
Foreign noble: *bewildered asf*
Court Sorceress Morgana: Please forgive the interruption, you will most likely not see the King or his consort at all today.
Gwaine hollering in the background: Not even tomorrow morning either!
