Rewatching the show as an adult, the only reason Merlin didn't get caught is because of his status, and it is alarming how people overlooked him. I just finished the first two episodes of season 3, and the fact that neither Morgana nor Morgause questioned how Merlin escaped from enchanted shackles while surrounded by giant scorpions is baffling; no one suggests magic simply because he is just a servant. This is alarming to me because we have seen plenty of peasants killed for magic, but I guess they are just willfully blind to him; it is laughable upon rewatch.

I want to read something where arthur is either angry with merlin or have forgotten about him .. something where he basically belittles merlin and shows him his place. Bonus if he's actually hurting himself but has to do it because of a reason/to protect him. Angst. I want Angst.

can someone give me recs on modern merthur with a catch. It's Merlin in present time meeting Arthur again, he can have memories or does not have them. It ca also be that Merlin and Arthur meet in modern times with or without their memories, not old Merlin, I want him died and had a rebirth or an AU. Also, do you have where Arthur is the one who finds Merlin first in present times but Merlin doesn't remember him?

I know that these types of fics WILL have angst, that's why I was reluctant to read them. But please, give me the best that you have.

Heyhey i was looking to download some of my all time favorite fics just in case, and ive been trying to find a merthur fanfic. From memory this fanfic was around 8k to 20k words in which merlin is a childrens tv show personality and arthur is i think the son of the prime minster. Arthur comes on to do a show and they keep in contact and fall in love over time. Ive been searching for a while and was wondering if someone knows it and maybe has the link (or pdf) for me

Thanks in advance!
