Something, something , Gwen and Merlin are arm wrestling for funsies, Gwen wins and it’s seen by some of the knights.

Arthur makes fun of him for that but Merlin insists that Gwen is stronger than she looks and that he should try it if he doesn’t believe Merlin.

Arthur laughs at first but agrees to a simple arm wrestle and promises to not hurt Gwen.

Elyan quietly said that it’s not a good idea but nobody listens to him.

They start and Arthur is all smiles but *WHAM* he loses in seconds mostly because he didn’t see it coming.

Because the servants have to be strong for carrying around stuff all day and wash and clean and wring out laundry.

And Gwen is the daughter is of a Blacksmith. She got strength in her grip.

this song and the pendragons🥲🥲

Happy Mother's Day to the goddesses of motherhood, Leto, Rhea, and Maia. May they be honored on this day for their shared domain

Sir Leon casually mentioning that he threw some noble in the dungeon in his report.

Arthur: Wait what did he do??

Leon: Oh right. He gifted Merlin sweets and asked if he wanted to have a picnic with him, Sire. But his family is an important ally, so I had to refrain from executing him.

Arthur, now very confused and trying hard not to let his jealousy show because he wants to be a good, just king: Leon courting Merlin is not a crime

Leon confused as well: Well of course it's not written down like that. But courting the kings... Uhm *clearing his throat and staring at the floor awkwardly* lover is quite disrespectful.

Arthur now blushing furiously sputters: Merlin?! My lover?!

Leon: Uh Sorry I didn't mean to offend you... Or him! I just thought you wanted the marriage to stay secret. I mean yes he always is carrying Queen Ygraines sigil with him but I just-

Arthur: LEON! Merlin is my servant. I'd never- I can't- He's just my servant nothing more. Please tell me you haven't told anyone of this crazy assumption of yours

Leon, disbelieving after a loooong moment of silence: My CRAZY assumption!?!? Wha- YOU'VE BEEN UNDRESSING HIM WITH YOUR EYES EVERY TIME YOU TWO ARE IN THE SAME ROOM!!! I didn't have to tell anyone!!!

Arthur: So who else thinks-

Leon: EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Writing Description Notes:

Updated 9th September 2024 More writing tips, review tips & writing description notes

I would die believing that Arthur had some magic inside thanks to it being involved in his birth.

Otherwise he wouldn't have been such a magnet to magic users and beast. And, of course, he would never have survived the Questing Beast bite for as long as he did on his own.

“you’re not a sorcerer, merlin, i would know”

arthur “trust issues” pendragon who has been betrayed and lied to time and time again but has almost never doubted merlin’s loyalty to him.

he might've been only slightly angry about merlin having magic. arthur was more upset that merlin had lied to him for years. to him, trust is a huge part of their friendship, and to have that taken away so suddenly was a shock. I would know because he had always thought that merlin trusted him with pretty much everything just as he had always trusted merlin

i love the way arthur teases merlin in s1. imo its such a clear indication that he has some kinda crush on merlin, in a very much “pulling your pigtails” type of way. like, you have merlin, who is very much Annoyed but is Trying Hard to be nice to arthur because of a prophecy told by a goddamn talking dragon, and then there’s arthur being like “dress me in my armor, merlin” or “you always have to be by my side, merlin.” it’s just so funny and cute T-T even when they grow closer, arthur still picks on him but it’s so endearing hhhhhhfjejdjsjdjs

very invested in an au where will lives solely to be an arthur hater. literally nothing else changes we just periodically get scenes of him telling merlin how much he sucks

whatever you think is happening on house md it’s worse!

Gwaine: look, it'll all stay between us mates.

Arthur: that's not as reassuring as you think it is

Gwaine: you offend me!!!! Look. I'm your drink-mate, Leon's your brain-mate, Lancelot's your honor-mate, Percival's you brawn-mate, Elyan's your bro-mate, Merlin's your soulmate and Gwen's your heart, mate. Let's drink to that

Arthur: hold on, Merlin's my what now?
