HELLO NEW BEST FRIEND, I JUAT GOT THE IDEA FOR A NEW MERLEON HEADCANON!!!!

The Purge began with the death of Queen Ygraine and the birth of Arthur. Before that, magic was legal and quite well-known amongst the nobility and common people, just a part of everyday life.

Leon would have been about 5 at the time magic was banned. Maybe six, as it took time for laws to be implemented across kingdoms.

There is a possibility there were people in his household who had magic. Maybe a servant who could clean his muddy clothes in a split second, so he didn't get into trouble. Maybe a nanny, or a tutor who could make the figurines in his storybooks come to life.

If Leon's father is half the man Leon is, there is a real possibility that his morals would have overshadowed his loyalty to the crown. So when the word comes by the King's messenger that all magic users are to be burnt alive, he send him back with the assurance that it will be done.

But instead, he start plotting.

Those who learnt magic and could stand to give it up did so. Those who couldn't, born with the innate ability, got help from a mysterious source to flee in the middle of the night, across the border to Dyfed and take a boat out of Albion, where magic was still welcomed.

And Leon, who is a curious little child, and confused as to why his father is disobeying the king, asks him knew night. And his father tells him "A man's loyalty to his morals must come before his loyalty to the crown, or he is bit a man at all, but a puppet with a sword."

And Leon remembers.

Leon obeys the crown. He joins the knighthood like his brothers, he serves his king, and he carries out Uther's orders without question.

And nobody but him notices when his blade cuts through grass or just tents instead of people. Nobody but him notices when his coin bag mysteriously falls a few feet away, conveniently right in front of the druid child hiding in the bushes. Nobody but him notices when he helps a child escape up a tree.

But the druids notice.

They notice when the child starts talking about the noble Knight of Camelot who helped them escape. And them another, who told them the same, and then another. It adds up.

So when their beloved Knight is dying, of course they will take notice. Of course they will pray to their goddess. Of course they will use the most powerful tool they have, the cup of life, to bring him back.

Even Gods listen when so many pray. They grant him the gift of immortality.

The druids aren't the only ones who notice.

The servants notice. They clean his armour, and his weaponry. Each and every time, it comes back bloodless. And if it doesn't, it's certainly not bloody enough to have been in a massacre.

Servants talk. Eventually, word reaches Gwen. And then, in her adorable way, she blurts it out at the most inopportune moment.

And Merlin finds out.

OOOO THIS IS SO COOL

ima add some thoughts to this….

Merlin would either immediately tell Leon about his magic like and idiot or not tell him anything and just get really close to him.

Everyone, including Leon, was heavily confused at to why Merlin was trying to get so close to Leon, he was practically stalking him.

Once Leon bumped into some Druids on patrol and was talked to them, Merlin, who was following him, tried to hide and hoped that none of them would notice him.

Of course, the Druids noticed and called him out, thinking surely Leon knew about Emrys and who he was.

And obviously, he didn’t.

Merlin realizing he had been caught, stepped out from the trees.

Leon was confused and terrified of Merlin being there.

Why was he here? Was he following him? Why? Would he tell Arthur what he saw?

Then he realized that the Druids had called him Emrys.

From being around the Druids so much Leon must have heard about Emrys, which only made him more confused,.

Why were they calling Merlin Emrys? Wasn’t he almost a god to the Druids? Merlin wasn’t a god. He was Merlin.

Apparently Merlin was not just Merlin, he was Emrys.

Leon and Merlin had a long talk after that, both having to explain the full story to each other (mostly on Merlin’s part)

They both grew very close after some awkward few days of processing what they learned about each other, so much so that people started to suspect they were courting.

Their denies of the accusations were not taken seriously, thinking they were just trying to keep their courtship secret.

Eventually, Arthur found out, who was not happy about two of his best friends courting.

Arthur demanded answers they couldn’t give, especially when Arthur wouldn’t take them just being friends as an answer.

So, as a last resort, they bought into the lie of them courting. Saying that they just realized their feelings over time.

This lie worked for a while, people still asked questions but most of them accepted the fact they wanted to keep their relationship lowkey.

This worked until they actually started to have feelings for each other.

She was so sweet helping him get it on, too. And all for nothing, Morgana tracked them anyway.

Gwen and Leon

"What's taking so long?"

"I'm a woman!"

This better mf help me find a job.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

I feel like Charlie and Leah would have such a unique relationship.

Like, yeah, Leah loved her dad and totally thinks Sue and Charlie's relationship is way too soon, and she's definitely not calling him 'dad' anytime soon.

But Charlie's been her uncle all her life before he was her stepdad.

He was there when Harry Clearwater taught her to fish for the first time and laughed till next Tuesday when she got her hook caught in Billy's hat somehow.

You can bet your ass he was snickering in the kitchen when Leah brought Sam home for the first time and flipped shit when he found out Sam left her. I bet he refused to talk to both Billy and Harry for an entire week after he found out Sam left Leah and they didn't bother to defend her (they knew about the imprint and Charlie and Leah didn't). I can see him pulling over Sam every other day and slapping him with a speeding ticket or some other crap on her behalf.

I bet Leah loved him too. I bet mini Leah was obsessed with his Police car and thought it was so cool, whereas Bella was always embarrassed by it.

I bet she used to invite him to all her basketball matches, because she knew he'd bring doughnuts for all the girls on her team, and she bragged about it constantly.

I bet she called him at the station at least once to snitch about a party down at Forks, because the host was some snotty, racist girl who called her Mother a redneck.

I bet he caught her smoking once, (a bad habit she picked up and couldn't stop, even after phasing,) and he just joined her in her silence rather than ratting her out to Sue.

I bet she dumped a guy once after Charlie didn't like him, because he's a good judge of character, and he cried that night because how does his step daughter value his word more than Bella ever did?????

I bet Charlie and Leah had a great relationship, and not the stupid and typical one where she hates him for replacing her dad.

I bet she loves him like crazy, and I bet he loves her too.

can't say I agree w the vision but I respect the detail for this headcanon <3

OTP

Headcanon that both of them are equally matched during sparring/training.

Leon has a little bit more economy and structure, because its hard to shake the habit as he's been fighting that way since he was a child/squire.

Lancelot has less structure and a bit more flow, like muted down version of Gwaine's fighting style. There's structure to his strikes, but there's also the odd little flair or trick that catches Leon off guard, it comes from being a wandering Knight and having a different range of opponents.

Whenever they fight, they eye-flirt too. Like, full on facial expressions eye-flirt. It's honestly disgusting.

Their sparring is mesmerising to watch, and the added romantic tension just makes it better.

Merlin annoys Lancelot about it more than he annoyed Arthur about Gwen in cannon. It gets so bad that at some point, Kilgarrah asks Lancelot how his 'mate' is faring.

Arthur is the last to notice, obviously, but you can bet he slides a sly remark in every once in a while when he and Leon are going over inventory of weapons. Leon thinks he's kidding, until Arthur forgets the two of them are not actually together yet.

Arthur, completely obliviously: So when are you and Lancelot celebrating your anniversary? Isn't it some time this week?

Leon: ...

Arthur: ...🤨

Leon: ...my- my lord, Sir Lancelot and I are simply good friends.

Arthur: ...Wait, whAT? 😲

When they finally get together, it's because Gwaine got them drunk and they kissed in the tavern (after everyone told him it wouldn't work).

Nobody was surprised.

Not even Leon and Lancelot.

MERLIN FANDOM

I KNOW YOU'RE AWAKE

I had a thought and I need other people's thoughts:

Leon/Lancelot?

Sincerely,

A Merwaine shipper

Gwaine being Gwaine, who has travelled all of Albion and seen plenty of homosexual relationships in his time (if not experimented himself), takes it upon himself to voice a slew of the raunchiest, filthiest jokes known to man, because he doesn't understand why loving someone of the same gender is so shameful.

Arthur is conflicted, at first, because he worries about Leon's standing in court and his status amongst the nobility. But Leon was his very first friend, so he finally decides that his first Knight deserves to be happy and anyone who disagrees has a one-way ticket to getting Banished and stripped of all lands and titles. The rumours settle down real fast after he makes good on his threat to one of the Lords.

Gwen has known since the very beginning, of course, she was there when Leon tripped in the pond and accidentally kissed Elyan for the first time, so she takes every opportunity to tease her brother about his new beau.

Percival and Lancelot haven't known Leon or Elyan for long, but they're both supportive and gossipy anyway, like proud mama bears on the sidelines.

Leon is awkward. Like, really awkward. He turns into a stuttering candyfloss anytime people even acknowledge him for something other than work, so this all turns him into a incomprehensible tomato. It's adorable, honestly.

Elyan flirts. It's an automatic reflex to cover up his embarrassment, like going along with a joke when you're at the butt of it, but he secretly lives for the way Leon gets all shy and blushy when they meet eyes. Besides, he's got nothing to lose anyway, especially after he all but got Arthur's permission.

And Merlin, bless his little heart, gets a break from saving Camelot and watches the drama from the sidelines.

(He totally helps Elyan pick flowers for Leon and teaches him how to court a noble, he's got the experience after all of Arthur's dates with Elena and Mithian, even if they were a bit disastrous.)

Elyan and Leon would totally have that stableboy/son of a lord kind of relationship where Elyan would leave a flower he picked in the meadow at Leon's bedside because he knows he's a romantic and Leon would tie up all of Elyan's letters in a silk ribbon because he's done thst with their notes when he was younger and it's habit by now.

They keep at it when they both become knights, and then Gwaine finds out.

And...and...and then?? How dare you stop there! 😆

Elyan would be a sweetheart (just don't let Gwen know that because he'd never hear the end of it), and Leon is totally a romantic:

the stress of never knowing if I should tag ‘bbc Merlin’ or ‘Merlin bbc’

Oh, honey, we never left.

Welcome home to the Merlin fandon, where we await our idiot, blonde clotpole until he decided to crawl out of that goddamn lake.

Honestly, it's not a surprise how long it's taking him, do you remember what Merlin had to do to get him out of bed?

hey tumblr. is anyone still actively posting about BBC merlin (and merthur by extension) in 2025?

could you like/reblog this post? I really need some mutuals who are still here <3

It's silent, somber, the middle of the night.

Arthur: I don't think I've ever felt loved before

Merlin, sitting beside him: what do you mean?

Arthur, watching the fire dance: I don't know. I've never felt... Wanted... I guess.

Merlin: is this about Uther

Arthur: unmet expectations, you mean.

There is silence.

Arthur: everyone else is getting paid to be there when I need them.

Merlin: that's not true

Arthur: you say that because you're different, because you're the first person who's been different.

Merlin: I say it because no one would work for a prat like you for the money alone. Least of all a sorcerer, right?

Arthur: *huffs* thanks

Merlin: there are five kingdoms in Albion. One promises nothing but war, another is so deep in debt that the pourest show it, another is so wary they don't even think of their people and the last one has turned into a desert as their King died an isolated death

Arthur: so, I'm the least awful option then

Merlin: you're the golden King

Arthur: because of a prophecy

Merlin: because of your hair

Arthur: O.o?!?!

Merlin: *sighs* no, it's because you care and you give and you love. And that love is returned by your people

Arthur: Love shouldn't be transactional

Merlin: love was the very first currency.

Arthur: ...

Merlin: you've earned every heart you were given.

It's my 2 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

WHY WOULD YOU HIDE THIS IN THE TAGS??!!

Merlin *on four hrs of sleep for the past week, dirty from a fight, definitely has a concussion and at least two untreated injuries, one of which he’s bleeding out from, leans over on someone’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!

Arthur *still blushing from Merlin leaning on him and is now very confused w his emotions*: YOU HAVE MAGIC?!

Merlin: oh… sorry.

Merlin *moves to Lancelot’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!

Arthur: I can still hear you!! You’re right next to me and you’re yelling!!

The knights:… you didn’t know??
