Bbc Merlin Prompts - Tumblr Posts
Please excuse me while I enter my vault of abandoned Merlin prompts

Ah, here we are: *häm häm*
“you just had to pick up the glowing stone, didn't you?!”
flightattendant-Merlin, annoying passenger-Arthur
female Merlin disguising herself as a boy before she comes to camelot because it’s just safer to travel as a boy (and decides to continue pretending to be a boy because of female disadvantages) but her body changing spells start to grow less and less effective over time and it becomes harder for her to hide who she really is, but she kinda forgot how to be a woman (probably not a oneshot though)
Merlin and Arthur were switched at birth, Arthur grows up as a spoiled prince and Merlin as a poor peasant; when the parents are told that their kids were switched Uther sends for Merlin to join them (probably not a oneshot either)
Arthur is a Police officer, Merlin a criminal that joins the police as a consultant in Arthur’s custody
“No offence, but were your parents high when they named you?”
“That was so nice of you pretending to be royalty for that little girl” - “But I am-” “She’s gone, you can drop the act”
Merlin and Arthur literally become "joined at the hip" probably by a spell and have to cope with it until they find a remedy
uh yeah, just a little prompt vault selection Maybe you find something to your liking :P
I might have more and I might have more detailed versions of the prompts above if you’re interested
MERLIN FANS
HMU with some prompts/ideas. I’m in the mood to write some lil’ one shots!
Prompt #10:
King Arthur of Camelot rides out to slay a monster that’s been terrorising his kingdom. Once he finds it’s lair he successfully slays the beast and discovers a frightened child that’s been hiding inside the cave.
As he takes the child, Merlin, back with him to the castle, little does he know that Merlin is not a victim but the monster’s offspring. By the time Arthur figures out Merlin is developing the same powers as his mother he has grown to love the child and will protect him with everything he has.
Prompt #14:
Merlin: You’ve met my mum a dozen times and she absolutely adores you.
Arthur: Not as your boyfriend I haven’t.
Merlin: Arthur, half the time I am convinced she likes you even better than me, so can you please stop freaking out?
Prompt #16:
Another Supernatural Crossover:
Merlin is not a typical hunter.
Among hunters he is known as Emrys and he is a big mystery. No-one has ever actually met him, but it is known that he is always there to help whether he pretends to be your FBI supervisor or you are stuck with your case (he is like a walking encyclopedia on supernatural things). But he never leaves his house to go hunting himself.
Arthur is one of the hunters who has called Emrys once or twice when he got stuck with a job.
That is, until he finds a super difficult case that not even Merlin knows the solution to immediately. So they start talking on the phone every evening for like an hour to brainstorm. (And merlin might’ve developed a little crush on the cocky hunter with the husky voice)
At one point Arthur decides to go after the monster and at first Merlin is irritated that Arthur didn’t call that evening, after 3 days with no notice from Arthur he gets concerned and after a week he is so freaked out that he breaks his unwritten rule and leaves his house to search for Arthur himself.
why not save time with all these “sports” by making them all play at the same time on the same pitch?
i call it the Fuckening and it’s the biggest event on the calendar
