Naaaaah @guessimaclotpole , you must be imagining things 😉

The AU where Arthur knows about Merlin’s magic and is a mother hen about him getting found out

Arthur: It's a miracle. It's been a full day since something completely bullshit has happened in Camelot. No one's been cursed or pranked or stuck in a closet and no one's stolen the cook's pies and--

Gaius: Oh, by the way, Sire, Merlin's off gathering herbs for me. Gwaine accompanied him.

Arthur:

Arthur: That explains so much.

Merlin: I spy with my little eye...Something blue.

Arthur: Your eye, if you plan on continuing this game.

It’s a Safeguarding Issue [ART POST]

He wasn’t alone, because even though Emrys had confessed that his heart belonged with another, Arthur was in front of him, his hands curling under Emrys’ arms and pulling him in. His hands reaching up his back to run his fingers through his student’s damp black hair. It was a warmth and a sense of belonging that he needed right now, and Arthur was there to provide it. And as Emrys cried into the shoulder of Arthur’s burgundy, knit jumper; he felt Arthur’s breath against his ear as he spoke.

“Meet me back at my house in half an hour okay? It isn’t far from here, you’ll remember, and I’ll be there soon.” and then one of Arthur’s hands disappeared for a moment before finding Emrys’, and placing a warm metallic object in it. Then Emrys felt the kiss against the side of his head, and watched as Arthur walked back the way they came without turning back. 

Emrys watched Arthur until he was out of sight, then shifted the object in his hand so it rested between his fingers.

Arthur had given him his key.

Can we just take a second to appreciate the wonder that is @barbitone ????? Like, seriously.. I am in LOVE right now and I have never been so grateful in my whole life. Also, I bring to you the glory that is Arthur tattooed Pendragon and Merlin lip-piercing Emrys Smith.

Arthur: Don't be ridiculous, Merlin. Of course I'm coming with you.

Merlin: Why?

Arthur: Because the mission is dangerous. You are my friend and it's my job to protect you.

Merlin: And what's the real reason?

Arthur: ...

Merlin: ?

Arthur: *whining* Lady Vivian is insane and wants to marry me. We've known each other for 10 days! I can't marry her after 10 days!

Merlin: Lady Vivian might be insane, but that's only because she fell in love with you.

Merlin: And for the record: the only reason I'm not protesting you coming along is that I want to spare Lady Vivian a fiancé like you.

*Merlin starts walking away, stops after a moment and turns back around*

Merlin: And because there's a good chance that you'll die with us!

Uther: You're not going to fight a magical monster, Arthur.

Merlin: But Arthur has such a good track record with magical monsters. Only last week he did not die after being severely wounded by one.

Uther:

Arthur: Merlin, you're not helping.

Merlin: I know. I'm not trying to.
