Okay okay okay fic idea where it's a Arthur returns au where he climbs out of the lake the exact person who died all those years ago except that everyone else (bar Merlin ofc) has reincarnated Everyone else are completely modern in the way they talk and interact with the world and Arthur just has to take that in stride
Anyway all of this to say that I had a vision of Uther with recently returned memories like, "let me get this straight. You got married to a women and STILL never had an heir? I should have known letting that treasonous twink into our household was a bad idea". Shakes head, deeply serious. Like the complete vibes of the behind the scenes pics of Uther doing modern things but Arthur is basically having a huge culture shock every time the man opens his mouth and everyone else is unhelpful bc they're just laughing hysterically
Modern Uther reading Arthur to filth and revealing everything about how he always knew Arthur liked men with the utter shamelessness of the average modern parent (fairly cool with it but WILL say some off color things) and teasing Arthur for being too chicken to make a move on someone that literally everyone assumed he was already bedding
IDK if literally anyone else would find this funny but I just would love to see Arthur dealing with everyone he loves being ever so slightly different in the way they talk and act and sometimes it's like they're all in on a joke that he doesn't understand... Maybe I just take joy in seeing Arthur get shaken up a bit actually 😂 love when he gets blushy and embarrassed
