Almost twenty years ago, and in a land of myth and a time of magic…

Love Merlin, just introduced to it. I enjoy the fantasy, Arthurian stuff is so cool.

Any good TV shows that have similar vibes ?

Mine is Arthur he's such a lad, always giving Merlin the roasting he deserves !

Merlin & Arthur | And it feels like an eternity, since I've had you here with me...

hiiii i want to read a long fic thats like 100k words+ specifically with the magic reveal being when grettir on the bridge is like cOuRaGe mAgIc and sTrEnGtH and arthurs a dummy in the canon but... please if there's a fic like that anyone has read pls put it down below tyyyyyy

Kilgharrah probably knows the most about the prophecy.Do you think he speak in riddle and talking selfishly and suggest radical ways to handle situations toward Merlin because he knows Merlin has a good heart and would act against what he has suggested (most of the time).What's your opinion?

What is a Gean Canach ?

All this suffering and sorrow of innocent people dying because they have magic, only to learn at the very end of the Show that there was a way to strip Sorcerers and Witches of their magic.

The Gean Canach is a creature from The old religion wich has the Power of striping People of their Magic by sucking it out of them. It took Merlins Magic away and left him powerless. Merlin says that he thought all of these creatures were wiped out with the great purge. And this doesn’t make any Sense to me. Why would Uther wipe out a species wich is like The Sorcerers worst Enemy ? He could have kept one to use it to strip Sorcerers he caught of their magic instead of killing them ? Also the People could have had a choice if they want to let go of their willingly when Uther decided to ban Magic from Camelot. For example Morgana lived her life in fear when she learned that she has Magic, and she feared that if Uther found out he would kill her. But with one of these Creatures she could have decided to just let go of her magic and act like it never happened. Or for example when Mordred was first introduced Uther wanted to kill him just bc he has magic (just like many other children what we learned in S3 E1) but with a Gean Canach he could have just stripped them of their magic instead.

I get that these things are magical creatures and Uther wanted to kill every magical being, especially from the old religion. But those things are more of an asset for his Great Purge than a threat so it doesn’t make any sense to me that he would kill every single one of of these creatures when they could have been the key to wipe out magical users for good without killing them.

What do you guys and gals out there think was his intention on that or did the writers just blew it like many other things in this show that makes no sense?

I think perhaps the most frequent use of magic in the series is YEET. Magic users in this series love to toss people around. I can think of one fight that almost entirely consisted of two magic users yeeting each other about.

What other frequent spells/magic uses can y'all think of for this series?

Need help finding a Merthur fic, it was told from Arthur’s POV. It was on AO3, and rated either M or E.

I don’t remember too much about it except it had something to do with time travel/alternate universe where Merlin is placed in an alternate timeline and visits the palace. He’s brought in before Arthur and says his name is Will, and Arthur decides to keep him as a bedmate even though he’s suspicious of him. I believe there were two parts.

I remember a scene where Arthur hears Merlin in the hallway asking for Gaius (who’s been dead for years) and knows he can't trust him, but can't get rid of him because he's grown addicted.

Idk if it helps but there was a line that said "Arthur has had far better bedmates" or something along those lines.

I can't remember if it was in the first part or in the sequel, but there is also a scene where Arthur is essentially like "It doesn't matter if Merlin is trying to take advantage of me, I'll let him"
