Bbc Merlin Headcanons - Tumblr Posts

This was on my last account but

Aithusa leaving muddy talonprints a la Blue’s Clues on everything that has any remote relation to Merlin whenever Morgana goes on a rant about tryna find Emrys

okay so I'm just watching this episode where Gwen gets kidnapped by Morgana and put in the tower and the knights all go out to save her and basically Gwaine checks out Leon so now I need some Gwaine x Leon headcanons

Ooh I watched that episode a few days ago!! I honestly loved Morgana in that episode. I mean, what she does is awful, but she does it so well and when she talks about how she was imprisoned for three years, there’s still the slightest bit of humanity in her. Anyway.

The second Leon starts realising he’s fallen for Gwaine, he basically goes “dear gods why”

Gwaine has a similar reaction bc out of all the knights, Leon is the one most unlike him.

It’s a case of opposites attract lol, and in this case, both of them hate that they’re in love with the other. They don’t hate the other, they just hate being in love with someone who’s so completely unlike themselves.

The other knights, obviously, find this hilarious. Even Lancelot joins in on teasing them.

Gwaine complains about his crush to everyone who will listen. And to everyone who wouldn’t be listening but is u fortunately stuck in the same place as him. Merlin is this close to just revealing his magic by using a spell to shut him up lol.

Leon, on the other hand, tells no one and is praying that it’ll pass. But Gwen has known him since they were kids (she mentioned this in one episode, she said something like “you and I used to do this as kids”) and she sees right through him and gives him advice.

Arthur has also known him most of his life, but he’s more subtle. Sort of.

Look, he too has a breaking point.

So at some point, he corners Leon and pretty much tells him “if you don’t confess to Gwaine, I will” which leads to a lot of confusion bc “wait, Arthur, you’re in love with him too??” “What are you talking about?”

Somehow, that conversation ends up where it was supposed to be from the beginning.

Not that this changes things.

Eventually, it’s Merlin and Arthur who come up with a plan to lock them in a pantry.

They leave them in there a bit longer than strictly necessary bc “peace and quiet, finally”

Except, once they get their shit together, Leon and Gwaine are the most obnoxious couple you can think of. 75% is revenge for the others locking them in a pantry, but the other 25% is literally just how they are as a couple.

So the peace and quiet don’t last long.

There are frequent shouts of “GET A ROOM” bc Gwaine does not care where he’s making out with Leon so long as he’s making out with him.

Arthur and Merlin are kind of regretting their great idea now, but not really bc it’s worth it to see their friends so happy
