A year after the last witchfinder turned out to be a trickster at best, a new one found his way to Camelot.
Lancelot was well aware how that could potentially end for his friend. He spend days pacing, putting together and enacting a plan to save Merlin as something told him this witchfinder shared both the kings absolute hatred for magic as well as the cold cruelty that was so often publicly displayed in the courtyard.
No, he already had prepared the horses, they would only use them to get a headstart and later on they would switch to traveling by foot or cart. Even though this meant giving up a chance to be with Guinevere he knew it was the right thing to do.
The only thing missing now was Merlin, so when the midnight bell rang, Lancelot got out of bed heading towards Gaius' chambers.
Leon cursed their luck. Of course another damned witchfinder would come looking for work in Camelot. And of course Uther wouldn't turn him away even after what happened last time.
With a sigh he folded the letter for Arthur. It pained him to leave the prince to his own devices but Leon was a knight. Protecting people was his duty and his honor.
And Merlin needed any protection he could get with how horrible that man was at hiding his magic.
Don't get Leon wrong, he had not taken the revelation quite as easily as this now suggests but from the moment he had the suspicion he started observing the servant and found no evil whatsoever. Leon himself owed him his life many times over, if anything this would balance out the scale a bit.
As the night quietly descended upon Camelot, Leon opened the door and listened carefully for the familiar rhythm of the nightguards footfalls.
_____
If Arthur was honest he didn't have a plan BUT that only was because he genuinely thought his father would listen for once. Last time Morgana almost got kidnapped! And she was his favorite child!
It would be fine though. He was good at strategy, he had been trained for scenarios like this his entire life. For the last time he looked at his chambers, searching his brain for an adequate way to say farewell to his home and came up short.
He may have spend his life here but his heart was not attached to those walls nor did it long to stay here when the soul of this place was clearly missing. The same soul Arthur was determined to get to safety, far away from his fathers clutches and somewhere where Merlin could be himself without having to risk a death sentence. Maybe they could get a cottage, a small farm maybe andβ
"This is really not the time, dollophead." Arthur muttered to himself and headed out the door.
Fortunately the castle was quiet and empty, which made it easier than he would have thought to get to the physicians tower. He paused at the wooden door, fearing the familiar protest of the old hinges, which could easily wake Gaius and he really hoped to avoid explaining this to the old healer.
Carefully, inch by inch he pushed it open reavealing total darkness only disrupted by faint patches of light where the moon spilled through the windows. But something was wrong...
Something was missing.
Whenever Arthur had come here in the middle of the night there had always been the sound of Gaius snoring but now everything was quiet. And a glance towards the narrow cot confirmed it: the healer was not here.
Could Arthur really be so lucky? A small grin spread over his face maybe this wouldn't be hard at all, maybe-
The creaking of the wooden steps interrupted his train of thought and he cursed his own thoughtlessness when he spotted a dark silhouette on the stairs leading to Merlins bedroom. At once Arthur unsheated his sword and only a few seconds later the blade rested against the intruders neck. His triumph was shortlived as someone came up behind him mirroring his own gesture with a dagger.
"What do you want? Who are you?"
Arthur demanded in a low voice. Two against one. He would manage as long as Merlin did not come bumbling out of his room, ruining the odds by being his clumsy, reckless self.
"Sire?" The man behind him asked, clearly confused. The title made the man in front of him turn around as well, almost forgetting the sword pointing at his throat.
"Arthur?" Lancelot, asked bewildered.
"What brought you here? Do you need the assistance of a healer?" The man behind him, Leon as it turned out, questioned.
Simultaneously they sheated their weapons but Arthur's heart kept racing, thinking about his next words. These were his knights, his men and more than brothers to him. He knew they would not betray him but were they willing to commit treason? To break their oath to the king?
"No, but I need you to go, both of you. When you are questioned you did not see me. I know this is a lot to ask, I cannot order you, but believe me when I say I do not ask for this favor lightly."
His eyes apparently got used to the darkness as he could see the frown on Lancelots face.
"You know...?" He said at the same time as Leon asked: "Are you here for Merlin?"
The prince pinched his nose. "You know as well?"
For a moment there was no sound as the three men processed this development. "So what was your pl-"
"God damn this gods forsaken shit-heap of a castle ouch!" Someone cursed, but the voice came from outside which made no sense, seeing they were in a tower so a passing man should have not sounded like he was just outside the window. The knights collectively tensed as Arthur pressed his finger to his lips. Slowly he pulled the dagger from his belt, approaching the window without making a sound. With a swift move he opened the ajar standing window completely peering over the stone wall and down. His dagger was firm in his head ready to deliver a killing blow.
"Ah princess! Nice of you to show up! Would you mind helping a man in need?" The man who was currently climbing the castle wall mumbled as he held a glove between his teeth. Gwaine. Of course.
"What the hell are you doing?" Arthur wondered
"Helping a friend? What does it look like?"
"It looks pretty stupid if you ask me." The prince answered but offered a hand nonetheless. Shortly after and with surprisingly little noise Gwaine was in the room as well.
"Okay we need to get Merlin out of the city, we can talk afterwards. And we have to be quick or else-"
Suddenly the door to Merlin's room opened. The men focused on the dark spot, expecting a sleepy Merlin to emerge and ask what was going on but instead the man coming out of the small bedchamber was much larger and carried the warlocks sleeping form in his arms like he was holding nothing more than a pillow.
"Percy??" Gwaine almost sounded hurt
"Of course!" Arthur muttered ironically and threw his arms up.
Leon sighed and nodded towards the servant. "Is he asleep?"
Percoval nodded: "I put a sleeping portion in his drink."
Gwaine didn't seem to register the words and continued: "You would have left me behind?"
Percy: "Of course not! I would have gone to the rising sun to get you as soon as found some place safe outside the city walls to put him!"
Lance: "You put something in his drink!?"
But Percival defended himself: "He wouldn't have left Arthur willingly would he?"
Surprisingly enough the men agreed and Arthur's heart swelled inside his chest. The warlocks loyalty was absolute and they all knew it.
"Wait how do we smuggle a sleeping person out of the castle?" Leon asked, rightfully so.
When the answer came, it was not the voice of any of the knights, in fact it was not a male voice at all. "Through the servant corridors obviously. Are you coming? We don't have the entire night."
It was Guinevere who had entered without any of the knights noticing and now stood there in the middle of the room with crossed armes.
Arthur could not believe this! "You knew as well?"
Gwen's expression changed from determined to amused. "Of course I know and now hurry I already got Morgana out she's waiting for us in the woods."
"You got Morgana out? Wait are you saying Morgana is like Merlin? She has magic too?"
"Holy shit Merlin has magic?!" Elyan whisper-shouted from where he had appeared just now, dressed in his sleeping tunic and breeches.
"Yes, did you not come here to save him?" Percy answered easily
But Gwen's brother shook his head: "I came to ask for a sleeping portion."
Something I haven't seen anyone talk about before is the parallel between the pilot episode and 3x06. I'm talking about this scene in particular.
It's a beautiful scene, partly improvised, but I'm talking about the framing. The background, the lighting-- for a moment there it doesn't look like they're in the streets, but it looks like it's a confessional booth. More specifically, it looks very similar to Louis' confessional booth from the pilot episode.
In the pilot episode, Louis has this really emotional confession, after which Lestat comes in, kills the priest, and they 'get married'. We don't know how much Lestat heard of his confession, but we don't need to know. Lestat knew, because he read his mind. He knew what Louis was going through, knew about his deepest, darkest thoughts and desires and all about his shame. And still, on the altar, he wanted to spend the rest of his immortal life with him.
In 3x06, this is paralleled. This is the reveal of Lestat's biggest, most well-kept secret (through really unethical means but this is not about that). Lestat didn't want for it to be revealed in this manner, but he later admits that deep down, he wanted Louis to know.
So Louis has everything revealed to Lestat, and Lestat still loves him and wants to be with him. Lestat then also has everything revealed to Louis, and Louis holds him and kisses his hair and tells him it's going to be okay. He still loves him, and later on in the episode he confirms they're back together (in some capacity).
They take turns in the confessional booth, but the result is the same. They love each other no matter what and it brings them closer together.

Oooohhh I love this so so so much it kinda make me want to write a fic that explore Arthur post magic reveal in a more βcalm settingβ (I have too many wip) like him seeing Merlinβs golden eyes and having complex feeling about it
thinking about how βi use it for you arthur, only for youβ was simply Not true and merlin knew it wasnβt true and said it anyway because he was so deeply conditioned. my guy spent like 10+ years reading arthurβs moods and adjusting accordingly, that instinct to present yourself in the least threatening way possible to someone whose anger youβve learned to navigate around was SO strong. by lying and saying he used it only for arthur he was carefully trying to manage arthurβs reaction before it happened again and frame it in the way most likely to soften the blow. but of course nothing ever fully could, no amount of preemptively arranging the narrative ever will. in that sort of dynamic you can arrange the words perfectly and the anger will still always finds its shape anyway
Painted this as soon as Art Fight ended, I missed these idiots sm!! Wasnβt planning on posting this one since itβs still a wip and I donβt think Iβll ever finish it ( Arthur looks straight up silly in here π ) but I really liked the colors and since my semester starts literally today, Iβve got no idea on when Iβll get to paint these two again. So I present my humble offerings to the Merlin fandom

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"
The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.
We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...
Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn't just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.
this open the idea that on earth they will worship the savior "Ryland Grace" and then when, idk a few decade (centuries would be very funny) later when human and eridian get in contact there is a weird moment where human are like "Who the hell is that Caterinaβ" and eridian are like "How dare you you transphobic twaβ"

Okay but teacher Grace on Erid having very little say in which kids get filtered into his class, though he is aware that the selection process is super specific and that most of the kids he gets are high performers with star academics and some even with influential parents. He isn't quite comfortable enough with Eridian culture yet to object to the selection process and make it more inclusive, however. That is, until he learns about the special needs kids.
Obviously, there are Eridian kids with special needs, and a few of them even filter into his classes. But one specific type of special needs kid has never shown up in his classes, and the only reason he even learned of the condition is because Rocky and Adrien's first pebble has the condition.
It's initially quite a struggle for them to deal with, and Grace sympathizes of course, because the child will apparently have huge learning and academic struggles and will likely never be able to live on their own. That is, until he learns the details of the disability.
Basically, it's a condition where the part of the Eridian brain that gives them their eidetic memory isn't fully developed, and so these kids just... can't remember things the way most eridians do. And in a culture where an eidetic memory is the norm, all things cater to that, so not having that is actually a massive disability.
But Grace is like, so... this kid just learns the same way a human does, or something like. Which is nothing new to him, though he is somewhat boggled at how much Rocky and Adrian struggle with their infant and their "slow" learning curve, even as far as initial developmental stages. Grace, on the other hand, simply treats the kid the same way he would a human infant, and Rocky and Adrien are impressed with his patience.
But, through this, it occurs to Grace that there must be other kids out there with this disability who likely aren't getting the attention and chances in life that they deserve, because Eridian culture is particularly hostile toward this disability, and actively views those with it as unable to function in regular society.
So Grace demands that a special course be put together where he teaches kids with this disability specifically. Rocky is hesitant, as most kids with this disability are home schooled and kind of... kept shut away. But Grace insists and as one of Erid's saviors, he gets what he wants eventually.
His first class is super small, maybe only three kids because so few parents were willing to advertise that their children have this disability. And because of the stigma around it, even those who agreed to it are super unsure and want to be present during the lessons, perhaps paranoid about the impression it will leave on Savior Grace, who is so accustomed to only teaching the most gifted students.
But Grace knows exactly how to deal with these kids. Some of them have varying degrees of function when it comes to their memory banks, which isn't so unlike teaching kids on earth. And so Grace is able to introduce all these tools and teaching techniques that were previously unheard of on Erid (though very normal on Earth) like having textbooks for reference with you at all times and having strategies that are less focused on memorization for understanding, and providing these kids with tools like calculators and teaching them the art of taking notes to look back on, etc etc.
Suddenly, with all these tools that most Eridians don't need, these kids are learning at a much faster rate, and succeeding with the help of all their little tools. And because so many normal eridians are ignorant of Grace's actual biology, it's shocking to them that Savior Grace doesn't have an eidetic memory either (shocking to everyone but Rocky anyway)--that his brain functions quite similarly in capacity to these "disabled" children.
Once this news gets around, suddenly there's more kids in his special classes, and there's all kinds of discourse being inflamed because the real reason these kids can't live on their own or function is lack of support from Eridian society.
If Savior Grace, who is well respected as a genius in his own right amongst the Eridians, can function so successfully, they why can't these kids?
I dunno, I just think it's an interesting premise.
