You Didnt Just Give Me My Dream. You Gave Me A Family.For The Record, Youre Not The Only One Who Got

You didn’t just give me my dream. You gave me a family. For the record, you’re not the only one who got more family out of this deal.

Mike Ross and Harvey Specter; SUITS (2011 — 2018)

Mercelot fake dating/friends to lovers AU but they’re never actually fake dating it just has that effect when everyone automatically accepts it and doesn’t think to ask because Merlin and Lancelot have always been a pair when they’re together.

Arthur gets a little jealous of Merlin’s time but they still hang out like before so he’s fine once he realises a relationship doesn’t mean he’s loosing his best friend. Gwen is slightly confused because she always assumed Merlin had a crush on Arthur but he’s absolutely smitten with Lance and now she looks back, they really were always good friends and Merlin set her and Arthur up so that couldn’t be right. She tries talking to him about it, he bursts out laughing when she mentions a crush on Arthur and tells her he just loves them both and wants them to be happy together because they’re both his friends. Then she tells him she’s glad he’s happy too, looking at Lancelot but Merlin completely misses it.

Merlin and Lancelot went to a feast together once, not necessarily as a couple but just to go together because they’re friends and they love each other. Everyone assumes they’re dating, and they act like a couple, and eventually when they’re sat reading magic books in Gaius’ chambers together, Lancelot looks up and casually asks “Would you be upset if I fell in love with you?”

Merlin shakes his head then frowns and looks up, staring at Lancelot for a few seconds until his eyes blow wide and he realises. Then he smiles awkwardly and asks “would you be mad if I just realised I’m already in love with you and probably have been for a while without really thinking about it because I’ve never needed to question my relationship with you?”

And Lance is just like “oh good, I didn’t realise or think about it either until one of the druids asked how long we’ve been married.”

Then they start dating for real, nervously announcing it to a very confused round table where everyone’s just like “We know. You weren’t already? Alright. Congrats, good for you.”

Nothing changes, and they get teased relentlessly for not realising they’re been practically married for years without realising it.

#in which we’re all donna and mike

Mine too😭

welcome to my roman empire

Royal: He's betrayed you! How can you trust a servant!

Arthur: ok, hold on. There are only two things I'm absolutely certain of. A) is that I'll never be certain of anything, ever. Except B) that Merlin is the most loyal and brave man I've ever met and it would take a literal enchantment to change that.

Royal:...

Uther: Arthur! You can at least say that you're certain that I'm your father!!!

Arthur: are you tho? Because if my mom couldn't conceive and you needed Nimue to get her pregnant- is it really you who is my father? How would I know? You also lied to Morgana about HER dad!

Morgana: yeah, he's got a point
