It's halloween and everyone in Camelot has agreed to dress up as what they are most afraid of.
Arthur: Dragon
Gwaine: an angry ex
Elyan: Ghost
Lancelot: a Gryffin
Percival: Dorocha
Leon: Troll
Merlin: Mordred
Mordred: Uther "hold on, why is Merlin dressed as me?"
Merlin: "because i can't exactly walk around as a dead Arthur now, can I?"
Mordred: ... Changes costume to Emrys
The knights notice how somehow, one of them always ends up being some kind of traitor.
So, in order to keep the peace, they watch each other. It ends up with them making each other cryptids.
Like:
Elyan: well, Gwaine is always at the tavern. We'd never suspect him betray us, if he pretends to be drunk.
Gwaine: what? Me? Look at Leon. The guy acts way too perfect all the time!
Leon: me, perfect? Have you seen Lancelot? If Arthur weren't already in love with Merlin, he'd be going after HIM for sure. Or percival. He's so quiet!!!!!
.....
It goes on and on and they all have valid arguments. They follow each other and somehow find out each others secret hobbies.
Elyan: is that Merlin who is sneaking down to that Druid camp?
Leon: shut up, we're here for Gwaine. Look at him, ordering hair conditioner in the middle of the night!
Leon: you know how I hate my life?
Elyan: ....... Yes?
Leon: well, sometimes I think it's not so bad. See this?
*points at Merlin and Arthur giving each other intense stares across the table*
Elyan: they make it worth it?
Leon: oh no. They still are disgusting. The reason of my suffering. But it makes the constant dying feel like a vacation. I have no weekends off. So it's kinda nice i have some regular days off to count on.
Elyan: .... Are you okay?
Leon: my work contract was very specific. I wish I had read it before signing.
Uther: Arthur, I am so glad you've come to visit me.
Arthur: i'm not here to visit you.
Uther: son -
Arthur: I'm here to get my boyfriend out of prison! Because this idiot ends up in here, with you, where you fucking belong, every freaking month!
Merlin to Uther: technically, I visit you more often than he does.
Bonus: on their way out.
Arthur: Hey Gwen. How's it going?
Gwen: as usual
Merlin: who is it? Morgana or Elyan
Gwen: Take a fucking guess.
Arthur:oh
Merlin: you left them alone together for one night again?
Gwen *in tears*: Lancelot PROMISED to keep an eye on them!!!!!
Bonus 2:
Merlin, packing his stuff: Bye, Gwaine
Gwaine: see ya next week, hun ;)
Gwaine would absolutely, 100% get one of those tiny cars for children to play with.
Like the ones rich children have, that can drive and all. And Gwaine would just sit in it, sun glasses on and whine glass in hand, while driving all around town.
Merlin keeps trying to stop him, but ends up reinforcing the tiny car with magic, so it won't break under the adult weight (and also doesn't hurt or destroy anything)
Arthur would, btw, constantly be pissed, because he can't wrap his mind around those horseless monsters. And Gwaine keeps driving into him, whenever he has the chance. Arthur, always, without fail, hides behind Merlin. So Gwaine just rams into Merlin's legs with the tiny car.
@aradia-pendragon why would you hide these in the tags? YES!!!!!
Arthur: when i get married, i want Lancelot as my best man..... and Leon as my wedding planner.
Gwaine: can I be a brides maid?
Arthur: hmmm.... that depends....
Gwaine: on what?
Merlin: what about me? I've been your servant for seven years, and I'd like to think that we've grown to be friends. I thought I would be your best man :|
Arthur: oh... i have something reall special planned for you.
Merlin: oh?
Arthur: yes. so you know after the priest asks for the vows-
Merlin: *nods*
Arthur: - before the doves are released into the air-
Merlin: *keeps nodding*
Arthur: when he asks the question: do you take Arthur Pendragon to be your beloved husband? *starts grinning*
Merlin: *nodding intensifies*
Arthur: I want you to say: I do
Bonus:
Gwaine: oOooooooO!!!!! i'm supposed to be HIS best man. makes sense......
I'm calling Elyan as bridesmaid
Percival: I am DISAPPOINTED in you, Gwaine!!!! You know I have the perfect dress for the occasion!!!!!
Elyan: how does Gwaine know-
Percival: i have a life outside of you, Elyan
Arthur: ..... you are my knights. Since when does your life resolve around anyone but me? Your king?
Merlin: *side eying Kilgarrah and Aithusa who look at him through the window* *mouths* NOT NOW!!!
day 21: happy place @crimsonrose14 i find the round table is a good analogy for this
Arthur drinks tea
Merlin drinks coffee with energy
Gwaine ale(obviously)
Gwen drinks orange juice
Mordred too, but merlin keeps poisoning it
Morgana drinks the souls of the innocent, of course
Lancelot drinks water with mint leafs in it (Merlin: you heathen)
Percival drinks milk. Definitely
Elyan drinks apple juice (gwen: he's a shame to this family)
Agravaine drinks beer ( at least he thinks it's beer.)
Morgouse drinks blood. But out of fancy wine glasses. Either that or beer of a mug
Gaius drinks water. Just water. Because he's a physician
Uther is constantly dehydrated
Keep adding, I'm curious
At some point, in Camelot, people started telling stories about Arthur in the land.
As a form of theatre comedians.
There is someone who plays Arthur and there is always a Merlin at their side.
Over the years, the play got a romantic touch. Where Merlin is portrayed by a woman (because they mixed up the story of Gwen with that of Merlin) and suddenly all the canon dialogs are actually seen as flirtings.
Arthur: we're not - Merlin is not- i don't sound like that!!!!
Merlin: me neither, we're not a - that!!!
Gwen: actually, that is kind of accurate
Leon: i do remember that poetry scene
Lancelot: yes, all of that happened
Elyan: you two are such a couple
Percival: married
Gwaine: i'm so glad i wrote that script
One day Elyan, as he is the son of a blacksmith, made a coin. Just because his father showed him once and he wanted to remember that.
The coin/ token had Arthur's head on the one side and was supposed to have a dragon on the other. However, dragons weren't his fortune, so it turned out looking more like some kind of bird.
And because he was just that humerous, he altered it to look like a Merlin.
It became a birthday gift for Arthur. Arthur was confused at first, but he was going to treasure it either way.
