#sir leon the long suffering

[witchmd13]

leon went from not daring to hit arthur with a lance while they were training to laughing when merlin tells him he's going to kill arthur and giving him advice on the best weapon to do it all within 5 years of knowing merlin and that's called growth

Okay the whole ‘poetry scene’ in bbc Merlin was crazy, but what was truly fucking insane was Merlin saying ‘he can’t get enough of it’

Wdym???wdym?? WDYMMMM??

in my head after the events of camlann merlin returns to camelot and, still riddled with terrible guilt and grief, confesses to leon about everything that had happened and everything he had done, magic and all. and instead of outrage or betrayal or scorn or judgement (or even death, as he had briefly considered) leon shatters him with a deeply apologetic expression and a whispered “my friend… you must have been so afraid, and so tired.” and merlin collapses into heaving sobs against him and doesn’t get back up for a long time.

Arthur: *making heart eyes at Merlin, smiling*

Merlin: *sending seductive looks Arthur's way, biting his bottom lip*

Arthur: *half-lidded eyes undressing Merlin, smirking*

Merlin: *blushing and fidgeting, slowly undoing his neckerchief*

Morgana, watching this from across the room: They do know they're in public right?

Leon, who's sitting next to her drinking to forget: public, private, they'll find a way for "poetry". Poetry! Ha! *hiccups* More like, more like—*falls asleep*

Gwaine, popping up from nowhere, finishes the rest of Leon's ale.

Au where everything is the exact same, but in the first episode merlin is hired as Arthur’s secret bodyguard. It changes nothing except that he gets paid to deal with all that shit, and he narrates each episode, but gives a wildly different account of what is happening on screen, and at the end it cuts to Merlin explaining to Leon what happened, and why he should get overtime pay

What to do when people approach you with drugs, a lesson with Leon

Leon: What do you do when someone offers you drugs? Percival: take them! Arthur: punch them in the neck! Lancelot: say thank you! Gwaine: Offer them more drugs to assert dominance! Leon: Leon: no.

The Knights Know AU

arthur: why did none of you ever tell me merlin was a sorcerer?

lancelot: i wouldn’t betray him like that.

elyan: it wasn’t my business.

leon: plausible deniability, and it kept you safe.

percival: i didn’t know it was a secret.

gwaine: it was funny.

Leon's immortality predates the Cup of Life, y'all. he's just Like That

I'm assuming people have probably talked abt this already but if they have, I haven't seen it (i'm relatively new here), so I'm bringing it up myself lol.

(It's important to note here that in the end credits starting from s2e2, Rupert Young has always been referred to as playing Sir Leon, so it is the same character.)

Remember s2e13 The Last Dragonlord, when Arthur asks his knights who among them are willing to ride out with him to fight this big-ass dragon, and Leon is the first to volunteer? And they then show Leon, with Arthur and the others, as they ride out to fight Kilgharrah in that weird-ass square field?

...And then Kilgharrah one-shots literally everyone except for Arthur & Merlin???? And when the two return, they're just like, "yeah all the other knights died valiantly defending the kingdom, very sad" ???????

Personally, I believe this only leaves us with two (2) options:

The writers just straight up Forgot (or maybe ignored) that Leon was one of the knights that died, and just kept writing him in bc he was a well-liked character,

Or,

2. They're therefore implying that, canonically, when Arthur&Merlin got back to Camelot and said that all the knights were dead, they were just straight-up wrong. Which means that Leon had to just... find his own way home, I guess, after having been freshly charbroiled by a fucking dragon.

Merthur: None of the other knights made it, even Leon :(

Leon, covered in burns, wheezing on the ground in that big-ass field: QUIT TELLING PEOPLE I'M DEAD

Merthur: sometimes we can still hear his voice :(

The wiki says that "many believed he'd been killed" when he "was injured by the great dragon," but that "this was ultimately disproven by his return in Series 3"...

...which I believe falls squarely into #2 listed above lmao. He wasn't dead, just injured. They just fucking left him there.

TL;DR: yes, he's immortal, but it's not even from the cup. he's just Built Different

I had an epiphany the other day:

Greg ‘Not our division’ Lestrade and Sir Leon the Long Suffering are the same character in different time periods

They both have to deal with all the shit the other people around them do whilst wondering how the hell they found themselves in this situation in the first place. They will always be there when needed but they will 100% be judging the fuck out of the other person when they help. They always seem like they know more than they do but decide that it’s not their problem unless it’s life or death/important enough.

Idk maybe I’m reaching 😅

Merlin: *gasping for air and wiggling underneath Arthur*

Arthur: You like that don't you?

Merlin: *whimpering and arching*

Arthur: *smug*

The knights watching Arthur "tickling" Merlin. Sure doesn't "sound" like it they all thought.

Some random Camelot knight: So...are they fuc—

Leon(a tired, long-suffering father even if he ain't got kids lol): Yes. Training is cancelled. Again.
