Bonus: Third Place

at least they’ll be reunited when arthur dies

Arthur held Merlin in the aftermath of the battle of Camlan.

His idiot manservant had appeared out of nowhere and taken a blow meant for the king. A killing blow.

Merlin had been slain by Mordred, and in turn Mordred had been slain by Arthur.

“I did it…. I actually did it” Merlin whispered.

Arthur’s brows knit together in confusion. Merlin had sounded almost… happy?

With a closer look, he saw his friend wasn’t grimacing with pain, instead he was smiling the widest he had ever seen.

With that, Merlin gave a hearty sigh, and closed his eyes for the last time. He had conquered fate itself, and now he could finally rest.

Arthur: That man wants to sleep with you.

Merlin: No, he doesn't.

Arthur: Yes, he does.

Merlin: He was showing me how to...

Arthur: Okay, anytime a man shows someone how to do something from behind, it's just an excuse for him to get really close and breathe on their neck. Watch any sports movie.

Merlin: That is not a thing.

Arthur: You mind picking up that mug?

[Merlin picks up the mug]

Arthur: No no, you're doing it all wrong.

[Arthur stands behind Merlin and picks up the mug with him]

Arthur: Here, let me show you. No, no, no. I've been doing this for years. See, the way to pick up a mug is like THAT. You just got to relax into it.

Merlin: [Merlin steps away] He wasn't doing that.

Arthur: It's exactly what he was doing.

It’s occurred to me many people don’t know who the characters in red shoes and the seven dwarfs are based on in fairytales.

Let’s start with the obvious:

Snow White is Snow White from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

Regina is the evil queen from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

King white is king white from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

Now to the f7:

Merlin is based on Merlin from Arthurian legends

Arthur is based on King Arthur from Arthurian legends

Jack is based off Jack from Jack and the beanstalk

Hans is Hansel from Hansel and Gretel

Pino, Noki, and Kio are Pinocchio from Pinocchio (this one really killed me because I couldn’t get it, I got the others but this one I had to look up lol).

I couldn’t find if prince average is based on anyone, I think he’s just the average prince in fairytale stories, no extraordinary characteristics, no first name, just nothing outside of his overall unappealing personality and vainness.

Remember when Merlin brought Morgana flowers and Arthur Bitch Pendragon Esquire demanded to know where his flowers were?
