the patient needs yaoi/yuri to live

Merlin and Arthur in a modern setting would be the worst people you know. Separate? Merlin is pretty nice, a little intense and kinda jittery but overall a well meaning guy. Arthur is kind of an asshole but he is lwk a lil funny and easy enough to get along with. Together? What. The. Fuck. Merlin is suddenly the meanest, most scathing man you've ever met. Arthur is genuinely trying to catch a case and probably get cancelled + disowned who let them out of the house? What do you mean Merlin is Arthur's ride? Have either of them ever heard of personal space? Merlin is definitely wearing Arthur's shirt. What do you mean Merlin makes Arthur's doctors appointments???? Arthur's card is in Merlin's wallet, Arthur does not care. They will die on the hill the other is perfect while actively telling the other he's a piece of shit. Merlin still hasn't unblocked Arthur from the last time he was mad at him. Arthur always knows Merlin's location even when it's off, how?????? They have never said the words "we are in a relationship/we're dating" but they openly antagonistic towards anyone who shows romantic interest in the other.

Arthur and Gwaine are too possessive over Merlin for that polyship to work like sure they can be toxic but there's an easy way to cut the fat off this relationship and make the most fucked up it can be

Fine I'll do it gosh since no one else will
