I needed me a silly pallet cleanser...

Can’t wait to see how the colours fuck up

What if Vox and Alastor never had a falling-out and were actually super close?

And the Vees and the Radio Family got along perfectly as well?

Part 2

Part 3

"Who's there?" — "Your Arthur"

A bit on the dramatic side, a ghost felt appropriate as we're in Halloween season. 🎃

Two lovers - fairytale AU Stobotnik

Once upon a time, in a kingdom ruled by fear and firelight, there lived a knight named Stone—loyal, solemn, and bound by oath. The crown tasked him with a sacred mission: to slay the dark wizard who dwelled beyond the blackened forest, in a tower shrouded by storms. They whispered that the wizard had bartered his heart for the wisdom of the world, and that the glowing emerald he wore upon his chest was the lock to that cursed knowledge.

Stone was told to kill him. Stone was told not to listen. Stone was told the wizard would try to twist his soul, charm his mind, and turn his heart to stone.

But when Stone reached the tower, sword in hand, he did not find a monster.

He found a man. Brilliant, bitter, and tired of being alone. A man who laughed at the very idea of gods and kings, who challenged every truth Stone had sworn to protect.

And somewhere between the silence and the storms, the knight forgot the path home.

I will see you in the next life

But we take it and we take some of the hints the show gave us and we decide that all this power means that Merlin can break the rules. No one can create magical life without also taking it… except Merlin. That’s what a lot of the fandom decides when they write him, but he also doesn’t know that, so he can’t just bring people back to life, because he doesn’t think he can.

But we know he can.

We’ve seen him create life from nothing, and yeah, they were small instances and the creators probably didn’t fully understand what they were getting themselves into with them, but they exist.

Merlin can create flowers and butterflies and turn stone to life from nothing. Real physical little things. By the laws of the show that shouldn’t be possible, but he does it, over and over again. We learn in the poisoned chalice that conjuration magic is incredibly difficult with the afnac and Giuas’ words. But Merlin does it easily.

And it makes sense that he can. He has infinite power, infinite energy. If anyone else tried to pour enough of themselves into nothing to make life, it would take a lot of power, probably enough to kill them or someone else, hence the need for a life for a life. That energy has to come from somewhere.

Unlike all of the others, Merlin can just pour enough of himself out to make life and be fine, because he is literally everything.

Arthur is grumpy because he misses Merlin and he hates it when anyone other than Merlin dress him. His hair is a mess and his clothes are crumpled, he’s missing one shoe but no one wants to tell him

The knights are walking in eggshells around him. Leons hair is going grey, and Lancelot is seen drinking wine during the council meetings

Gwaine is missing presumed dead

The kitchen is in a disarray, the usual schedules and menus are not being updated now that Merlin is gone

Bills have not been paid and new orders are not coming in. The merchants and fishermen are pissed. No one realises how much Merlin is actually on top of and how many people he has in his network

The Head Steward is scrambling to keep up with all the work Merlin seemingly did in his spare time. Some servants are wandering aimlessly with no tasks provided, while others are busy trying to finish up all the chores Merlin does in his sleep

Somehow the Kingdom is still standing (but just barely)

George is crying into the laundry (they ran out of soap two days ago because no one was instructed to make more) Merlin was always on top of these small things that most people overlooked — but now that he was gone, everything crumbled

Gwen could probably fix most of these issues, but has instead decided to go on strike on principle

There have been seven failed assassination attempts on the King. The Royal Spymaster is fired once Leon realised that Merlin is the unofficial spymaster

When The Royal Library and Mapmakers Guild requested a substitute scribe for the few days Merlin was away, everyone looked confused. For how long has Merlin helped them out too? Elyan volunteered, if only to get out of training

Mordred considers moving back in with the Druids and leave Camelot (this is not what he signed up for)

The council is in hiding for fear of further angering the King — one Lord mentioned Merlin by name and Arthur threatened to banish him, and since then no one has dared to speak his name again

Gaius officially retires and moves into a cottage

Merlin returns three days later like “what happened?!”
