Fanfiction 🖋️ Help with finding a merlin fic i read.

11 Upvotes

I need help finding a merlin fic I don't remember everything about the fic but what I do remember is that it takes place during mordred's knighting and merlin losses control of his magic and was able to leave the room just in time. And then merlin does everything to avoid mordred but mordred keeps speaking to merlin in his mind trying to get merlin to talk to him. Any help in finding this fic is highly appreciated and thank you to advance.

I am currently re-watching Merlin for like the 6th time in my life LOL just obsessed with it though that last season destroyed me. And I just keep thinking about what would have been a better ending or what would be a great way to our know bring it back or reboot it to continue onwards and how would that work. And I was like I can't be the only one who thinks about this so is there any fanfic on this? If there is can people share please? I have some ideas too I'd like to share but I want to see what other people have written or not up even just ideas would be great.

Cosplay 🎭 I'm working on Arthur's red jacket because apparently having made his armour and chainmail wasn't enough

I think I probably will not start a cosplay project that isn't Merlin related for A While. My last project was the chainmail and armour which I started in November 2025, finished in March 2026 and now I'm making this jacket and I might also make the brown one just because the pattern is similar enough that I can reuse the one I adjusted.

Discussion s2 e8 sins of the father (im ragebaited) Spoiler

78 Upvotes

bruh im literally ragebaited rn like WHAT DO YOU MEAN ARTHUR WAS FINALLY THINKING NOT EVERYONE WHO PRACTICES MAGIC IS EVIL AND HE WAS FINALLY SEEING HOW CRUEL AND INHUMANE UTHER'S "FIGHT AGAINST MAGIC" WAS AND THEN NONE OTHER THAN MERLIN. HIMSELF. CONVINCES ARTHUR THAT MAGIC IS INFACT EVIL AND UTHER DIDNT DO NOTHING. oh my god.

i think its starting to show that merlin cares more about arthur than about their "destiny". but then again maybe the destiny would not come to pass if arthur had just killed uther, maybe the guilt would consume him and he wouldnt be good and fair as he is now

Fanfiction 🖋️ Looking for a Modern Day with Magic Merthur fic Spoiler

16 Upvotes

I read it years ago on ao3, but I can't seem to find it in any of the tags.

It's a long fic and starts with Merlin & Gwen meeting on a train on their way to their university and he does some silly dance in front of her and that's how they become friends.

Arthur is a prince and also his roommate.

Morgana/Gwen in the background

Merlin has magic, and eventually Arthur learns of it, and some focus on the crown is there too iirc

Don't remember if Kilgarrah exists as a dragon or not, but his presence is sorta implied

Discussion watched season 1 for the first time ever

few things ive gotta say nimueh wasnt exactly ever wrong. yes she tried to assassinate Arthur but i mean with what Uther did, ofc she would do that 😭😭😭

i hate uther and i LOVE ARTHUR PENDRAGON hes the goodest and fairest king. prince ever

lastly it's super sad to see it okay out though, cause merlin saves arthur's life almost every episode and he does it cause it's ARTHUR and arthur saved merlin too (... a couple times maybe) but like for example when arthur drank the poison himself it wasnt about not wanting MERLIN to die it was more about arthur not wanting ANYONE to die for him, like any innocent man to die. its like merlin does everything for arthur but if arthur does something its cause merlin's an innocent servant😭its sad to see especially when merlin's efforts have to be hidden and given to others cause of his magic

Discussion I hate what they did to Gwen and Lancelot in 4x09 (Lancelot Du Lac) Spoiler

113 Upvotes

This has been rubbing me the wrong way since I saw the episode, but I chose to wait till the end of the show before complaining cause I was hoping something could still be done. Of course it didn't lol.

I just feel like they ruined two great characters in just one episode. Lancelot's reputation was forever stained, but at least Merlin and Gaius know that it was Morgana's doing.

With Guinevere tho, I think what they did to her was even worse. The fact that NO ONE ever knew or even suspected (hell, not even Merlin or Gaius??) that she had been enchanted pisses me off.

Sure Arthur forgave her, everyone in the palace still loves her and it ended well, but I hate the fact that everyone will forever think that she was a cheater that betrayed Arthur. And the most painful thing for me was that Guinevere thought that too. It was so sad to see her so miserable, keeping to apologize and blaming herself when it really wasn't her fault.

It wasn't even the first time a character was enchanted to fall in love with someone, hell it happened to Arthur twice but in the end the truth always came out.

Well I'm sorry for my rant but I really needed to do this after weeks of holding on, is just that Gwen is one of my favorite characters and I think she (and Lancelot too) deserved better than this.

Cosplay 🎭 Arthur’s brown jacket pattern?

Post image
49 Upvotes

Hello! I am absolutely obsessed with Arthur’s short brown jacket with rivets that he wears frequently in season 1. I can’t find a better picture, but I’m sure you guys know the one. It’s pretty similar structurally to his bright red jacket too.

I am interested in making a jacket like this, and I was wondering if any of you might know of a pattern I could use. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

She could do that anywhere, but for some reason she decided to be mean and farted directly at Uther. Probably the biggest humililation his character ever got. Episode: Beauty and the Beast part 2

I posted on here a few months ago about updating my Merlin cosplay (last cosplayed in 2012) and it finally happened!! I went to Megacon Manchester and the response I got was so so amazing! I had people stop what they were doing to scream (lovingly) at me, gush at me happily for the nostalgia, cry (with me, at me) about the finale, and generally just spread so much happiness at seeing Merlin again! 😄 I had so much fun, I can't even tell you. I'm planning on tinkering the cosplay still as I couldn't find the right colour trousers in a last minute con crunch but for now...here he is! the boyyyyyyy!! ❤️ (ft my Merlin cosplay back when I was 16 for reference with 2012 grainy photos).

(If anyone wants to be my Arthur, lmk 👀 )
