If Arthur had a laptop, he'd read merthur fanfiction all day.
... Call me based but I'm right XD
Arthur: what is this magic? All magic is evil, I must ...
Laptop: Did you know there is 31,518 stories about you and Merlin getting together on ao3?
Arthur: ... Your wile tricks won't work on me!
Laptop: Really?
Arthur: ... hmmmmmmmm..... okay fine, show me.

merthur fic recs: jealous!arthur
1. Kiss Me Once by Camelots_Daffodil (@camelots-daffodil)
Someone spreads a rumour claiming that a kiss from Emrys is worth immeasurable good luck to any sorcerer so lucky to share one. Unfortunately for Merlin, no one bothered to tell him about it.
Arthur, and the court of Camelot, will have to improvise in order to save Merlin from the kingdom's ill-fated romantic pursuits.
Written for Merlin Bing 2023 - Improvisation
~~~
hgkhfh you gotta love this take
2. the desire beneath by insane_falcon (@insane-ohwhyfandoms)
Merlin and Arthur have been best friends through high school and university, where they eventually add benefits to their friendship. Which is where everything goes wrong—a small taste of something more that leaves them both literally starting to die for more.
~~~
i am screaming!!! the mutual pining!! the mutual jealousy!!!
3. Rumor Has It by vintagelilacs (@vintagelilacs)
A visiting dignitary impugns Merlin’s character. Arthur does not handle it well.
“He implied you were bedding me.” Arthur raked a frustrated hand through his hair. “It’s an attack on my honour as well. As if I would bed someone who was unwilling!”
Merlin was only half-listening to the tirade, and was therefore only distantly aware of himself responding, “Who says I’d be unwilling?”
~~~
i SCREAMED!!! it’s so well written i cannot
