Merlin IS Magic. Surely this makes him more than a little different?

I have this Headcannon that because of all his various powers, Merlin is physically quite different to what is usually expected in medical science and Gaius is completely fascinated by absolutely hates it.

I’m talking things like one day he comes stumbling into their chambers with an arrow clean through the left side of his chest, wheezing but somehow Not Dead. It’s because like his dragon kin, Merlin’s heart is on the right side of his body. Gaius swears off everything Merlin related there and then. (He lasts about 30 minutes).

Or how under the concealment charm tied to his neckerchief, Merlin’s eyes are naturaly a blazing gold all the time, fuelled by the magic in his veins. Surprisingly, they also allow him to see quite well in the dark. ‘Like a cat’ Gaius remarks when he finds out about it.

His teeth are a little too pointy? Or at least his canines are. It’s Merlin’s most obvious ‘Medical Mystery’ trait but fortunately nothing that can’t be explained away easily enough. It does however add another point to the creature side of ‘Human vs Magical Being’ tally Gaius has been keeping in his head. For scientific purposes. Of course.

Merlin’s speed and agility are much greater than it has any right to be, even if you take into account the amount of physical labour he does for Arthur; The boy practically flys over the ground. Unfortunately the knights don’t realise this until they bet all their money he couldn’t beat Gwaine in a race.

He can talk to animals too! Mind-speak is easiest but his other method has Gaius tearing out the little hair he has left because his ward Should Not Be Able To Do That. To talk to animals, Merlin simply replicates THEIR language: be that neighing, breying or barking. Laws of Vocal Chords be damned, Merlin can do it.

To top it all off, the Knights aren’t wrong when they banter with Merlin about how little he weighs. Gaius is just glad it shields the boy from anyone thinking too hard about the definitely unnatural fact HE could even lift Merlin with one hand if he so pleased. They’re not sure if it’s an Emrys thing, a hollow-boned dragon thing or if there’s some pixie blood mixed in there but Merlin is secretly quite pleased when his creeping footsteps make much less sound than anyone else’s.

Gaius dreads the day he has to treat Merlin for an illness which isn’t immediately obvious because Dear Albion it could be ANYTHING.

BONUS: for anyone with magic, Merlin can be spotted from a mile away because he literally LEAKS it. Again, Gaius says this is Not Normal and no magic should be coming out of him if he’s not actively wanting it too but the druids spot his unique trait a mile away and it puts other magic users at ease when they’re around him. It’s like a giant warm blanket.

The BBC Merlin Sountrack had NO RIGHT to go that hard.

Listen to this! 2:10 - 2:41 of ‘Merlin buries lancelot’ has me in literal CHILLS. The grief and loss and magic and love that crescendo conveys is just so extraordinary I have to go and be alone for a while.

Gwaine: How's the sexiest person here~?

Merlin: I don't know, how are they~?

Gwaine, flustered: I-

Lancelot, from across the room: I'm doing great, thanks!

Merlin: Bad things keep happening to me like I have bad luck or something. Lancelot: Merlin, you don't have bad luck. The reason bad things happen to you is because you're a dumbass.

Never actually watched merlin BBC and just skipped to the fanfiction and I genuinely thought lancelot was black for like hundreds of fics before I saw a picture of him on Tumblr? After some soul searching I've realized it's cause Lancelot was black in once upon a time and i just connected connections that don't exist hdosjsosjd he's still pretty! But boy he looks nothing like my imagination

What if they radio rebel'd uther? What would he do?? kill everyone in the whole kingdom????

Triplets born, the Throne awaits

King Arthur x Sir Lancelot fankids

There will come a soldier,

Who carries a mighty sword,

She will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord

There will come a poet,

Whose weapon is Her word,

She will slay you with Her tongue, oh lei oh lai oh Lord

There will come a ruler,

Whose brow is laid in thorn,

Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord

Good job making this! ❤️🔥✊🌸

I am Starting to like King rather lore due to the Sonic game… “Sonic and the black knight!” (Its a good game btw! I highly recommend it!)

merlin textposts (part 3)

Authur, silently freaking out but also turned on

Babies first gay panic

*post magic reveal*

Merlin: Don't panic, I have a few knives up my sleeve for situations like this.

Arthur, seeing Merlin in his natural habitat for the first time: Don't you mean tricks?

Lancelot, a bit too used to this: No, he doesn't.

Merlin, taking dagger out of his sleeve: No, I don't.

Lancelot, holding a fake seal of nobility: Are you sure this will work?

Merlin: The power of bullshit and audacity hasn’t failed me yet, what’s the worst that can happen?

Merlin, to reincarnated Mordred: One universe, nine planets, seven seas, seven continents, 195 countries, and I still had the unfortunate luck of meeting you. Twice.

Lancelot: Surely he isn’t that bad-

Leon, just found out who used him as a step stool: There are only eight planets, you uncultured swine!

Merlin, forgetting about Mordred: VIVA LA PLUTO, FUCK YOU!

Ah, FGO English localization team. Never change.

“Sometime, my colleagues concern me...”

My account is flopping. Time to reblog my own post!

“Sometime, my colleagues concern me...”

"Sir Lancelot, the bravest and most noble of them all."

The absolute recognition between the hidden greats

#merlin: arthur won't even notice I'm gone #arthur: Merlin? MER-LIN! Where's Merlin? MERLIN!!!

MERTHUR WEEK 2023 → day four: favorite parallel

(Arthur is explaining a plan to attack Morgana)

Arthur: Lancelot! You go bottom right!

Arthur: Leon! You go bottom left!

Arthur: Merlin! Run around in circles and cry.

Merlin: (immediately starts sobbing)

To me, Merlin’s dynamic with all the knights (including Arthur) is “The only person who gets to torture my brother is me” but like it’s reciprocated
