"Give me a big life in a small town..."

It would’ve been cool to see Merlin struggling to contain all this power especially at the start of the series while he’s still learning to harness his magic:

Like maybe Arthur throws something at Merlin while half paying attention but Merlin’s magic stops it midflight and he has to quickly unfreeze and take the hit to avoid suspicion

Gwen asks Merlin to pass her the washing but it’s moving before he can even get his hands on it and Merlin has to scramble after it to grab the basket midair

Merlin’s carrying a meal up to the princes chambers and trips, his magic catching him and the tray of food and quickly righting them both, and Merlin glances around to see if anyone noticed

Gaius asks him to light a candle and suddenly every wick in the room is lit before he can even finish his sentence

Pukicho hates women and woman confirmed spread the word and tell it to your nearest womun

Exactly what the title says...this is the short snippet of a Merlin x Lancelot fic I've been trying to finish for days now. Well I finally finished it last night!

It's going to be posted later today so if you want to read the full oneshot, head to my ao3: inatimeofleon

word count: 116 (very short I know but this oneshot only ended up being 1300ish words total - but perhaps I'll write a part 2...)

!snippet starts below the cut!
