Prompt:
When negotiating a treaty and the return of magic to Camelot, Arthur agrees to marry a magic user.
The druids suggest Emrys, the greatest and most powerful sorcerer who will ever live - magic incarnate.
Arthur counters this by suggesting Merlin, his dorky but ever loyal manservant, who just happens to have a little bit of magic in him.
Druids: Good. Then we are in agreement.
Arthur: Wait- What?

It’s that time of the year again so I am once again reminding everyone that Halloween is not a pagan holiday.
Samhain has nothing to do with Halloween. Anyone claiming it does doesn’t speak Irish and hasn’t read the original sources.
Samhain didn’t include costumes, giving out sweets, pumpkins, or anything of the sort. In fact Samhain wasn’t even always in October. When Samhain started depended entirely on the weather and when it started to get cold. For example for this year this early autumn has been pretty warm so the Druids would likely push it back into November.
Which is the other thing Samhain needs to be announced by and facilitated by a Druid. There are no more Druids, you cannot be a Druid anymore, Druids are all gone. No Druids means no communing with the otherworld which means no Samhain which means any supposed spiritual ritual that occurred cannot and will not occur again.
And finally even if there are some pagan roots to some of the traditions I’m the modern Halloween they have been spiritually baptized and are Christian now. They belong to us now.

I hate that Merlin got no good mentor figure in the show.
Like Gaius was fine, ish, because Merlin liked him and he did very genuinely try to keep Merlin safe. But he was also traumatised as fuck and literally agreed with a genocidal maniac who decided killing everyone was better than actually grieving his dead wife.
And Kilgharrah was a spiteful basement lizard and an absolute bastard. He did nothing other than be a convenient plot device who gave Merlin more trauma than he knew what to do with.
And it wasn’t like he had many other options either, like
Alator of the Catha, dead.
Balinor, dead
Hunnith, amazing but no idea about magic.
Uther, read it in a fic one time. I’ve had trips that were less trippy.
Gaius, traumatised to the pyre and back. A few times.
So I can’t really blame him, same as Morgana he just latched onto the first person (or nightmare cave beast basement lizard in his case) who told him he wasn’t cursed or a monster.
But the show would’ve been better if he actually had someone to turn to consistently instead of an immortal who wants to die, a cryptic shut in, a druid he sees twice a year or whoever else showed up for less than 15 minutes of screen time.

I have this idea that if merlin had become blind in anyway from a monster or accident that he'd still be able to see magic. Like he could see everyone still walking around bc everyone has some magic inside them due to being able to learn. He'd be able to see animals magical auras or signatures, he'd also be able to see the dragons and people ofc. He'd have a difficult time seing Uther due to his hatred of magic diminishing his aura. But the person he can see the most, the brightest and most beautiful and just right aura would be arthurs. Considering they're two sides of the same coin. So if merlin had come to camelot blind, people would not know or find it strange considering he can dodge and move about and look into people's eyes while talking. Merlin can basically see everything, besides anything man-made, like walls and stairs. So he can see every tree in the forest and so on. So people think he's clumsy on purpose since he often trips on stairs or walks into walls.

Prompt:
King Arthur and his knights have heard rumours of Emrys, a god the Druids worshipped. Emrys was said to be kind, merciful, generous, and powerful. Arthur refused to follow any gods of the old religion, but he secretly admitted to himself that if he did, he would choose the god that protected the people out of genuine love and compassion, not those other gods that needed all sorts of sacrifices and tithes to buy their favour.
But while out on a patrol or something, he meets a group of druids worshipping in some sort of magical and sacred clearing in the forest, when Morgana and her own entourage ambushes them from behind. Knowing they’re outnumbered and outmatched, and that even the druids, children and all, would fall to Morgana’s cruelty, Arthur prays to Emrys, begging to be saved, promising anything, everything.
And Merlin saves them.
The druids tell Arthur that Merlin is Emrys, but Arthur doesn’t understand. He blames himself, thinking that by his prayer, his offer, he accidentally sold Merlin for their safety. He thinks Emrys has taken Merlin to be his vessel, possessing him.
And he wants his friend back.

Merlin thought he was enough.
He thought he was enough to defend his mother from the bandits but in the end it was his mother who defended him by sending him to Camelot.
He thought he was enough for Freya and that they could live happily together, away from Camelot, but he could not save her.
He thought he was enough to help Morgana but cowardice prevailed and he failed to save her.
He thought he was enough for Gilly, Taliesin, Iseldir and all his people but he failed.
He thought he was enough for Arthur, but Arthur chose Gwen.
He thought he was enough to help Arthur forge a new destiny and unite all of Albion and remove the ban on magic on Camelot, but Arthur died and none of this was done.
Merlin once thought he was enough.
Now Merlin knows he never was.
