can i ask for modern magic au for wip game?👀
This is an idea I had where Merlin is helping his uncle Gaius run a B&B he owns while he's doing research on the town it's located in. Arthur comes down from London to stay there after the death of his father because he wants to just get away from it all and have some time in a quiet place in the countryside to sort of reframe his life after Uther is gone.
Merlin inadvertently puts out some kind of bat signal for mythological creatures, so he's always doing things like casually chatting with a morgen who tries to drown him, or rescuing someone's cow from an anfac (and coming up with the most ridiculous reason for why he, a complete stranger, is in the middle of their field).
Arthur gets caught up in all of this because Merlin is hot not hot and now he's breaking into someone's house to help swap out the changeling for the real baby the tylwyth teg stole and because he's working with the world's least subtle, graceful man, of course they wake the whole household and get themselves arrested and have to come up with some kind of defence that isn't, 'We were just returning their baby because fairies stole it.'
