    Summary

    Merlin is new to Camelot, and he often gets lost. Sometimes he sees things he shouldn't. But he's not an idiot. He'd never tell anyone, except maybe Arthur. And one time, when he's very upset, Gaius.

    As far as Arthur is concerned, Merlin is an idiot. He doesn't understand how anything works in Camelot. Arthur finds it hilarious, until he overhears Merlin confiding in Gaius. Which leaves him with a terrible dilemma, and one burning question: who's the idiot now?

    Summary

    At the end of the last season no one dies, everyone knows about and accepts Merlin’s magic, Arthur and Gwen have a baby, and everyone is happy. Tired. But happy.

    Honestly, I just wanted to visualize Merlin with a baby.

    Summary

    Arthur, Merlin, and the knights stop in at a local tavern for a hot meal and drinks. They don’t expect knights from the nearby kingdom to drop by as well or for one knight in particular to take a rather special interest in Merlin. And, honestly, they aren’t having it.

    Basically Merlin starts a tavern brawl but really it’s not his fault.

    He can’t help he’s pretty.

    Summary

    HAS BRADLEY AGED AT ALL?! Colin went from 'aww so adorable' to ' HOLY FUCK TAKE ME NOW' but Bradley? No, he just stayed pretty much exactly the same... I'm wondering if he hadn't died at Camlan would Arthur have just not aged at all.

    Both he and Merlin were born Immortal.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Gwen was the first to notice. You would expect her to, what with Arthur being her husband. Ten years had passed since the battle of Camlan where Arthur had almost died but was saved by Merlin. She was beginning to get wrinkles on her face and on her hands but Arthur... he looked as if he hadn't aged a day.

    Neither did Merlin now that she thought about it but his lack of aging was more subtle. He changed his haircut to make him appear older and grew a beard but... underneath the slight changes was the same Merlin who had walked back to Camalot with Arthur by his side when Gwen had almost given up hope that Arthur would return alive.
