shadowinkkk:LISTEN. What if Nimueh tricked Uther and instead of taking Ygraine’s life to have Arthur she trades Uther’s. Ygraine doesn’t ban magic and maybe makes Balinor a lord although he travels around the kingdoms trying to round up all the dragons so he can protect them or something. Hunith insists on teaching Merlin that he has to work for things and not just demand them from people so Merlin grows up pretty much the same. Maybe him and Arthur meet as kids and they get into a fight in the court-yard and they come back to the castle covered in mud but grinning like idiots because they made a new friend. That was the only time they’d actually seen each other but they never forget. anD THEN AFTER A FEW YEARS. Ygraine throws a ball for Arthur’s 20th birthday and Arthur is talking to the knights and then they announce Merlin’s arrival(his parents were busy with the dragons and couldn’t come), anD HE’S DECKED OUT ON A GOLDEN SUIT AND ARTHUR GETS SO DISTRACTED HE SPILLS AN ENTIRE GOBLET OF WINE ON HIS CLOTHES AND ALL THE KNIGHTS ARE LIKE “the fuck????” and anyway obviously Merlin makes fun of him and they start the whole bickering/bantering friendship and obviously they fall in love and someone makes an off-hand comment about how Camelot’s colors have always been red and gold -- source link
