Yes, Im Afraid To Fall In Love, Okay?

“yes, i’m afraid to fall in love, okay?

you make me feel like i’m on top of the world,

and that’s a very long way to fall.”

@ quitethefallacy (if i start loving you now, i’ll never stop)

“so, what, you’re into guys now?”

#MARVEY: espresso!

Royal: He's betrayed you! How can you trust a servant!

Arthur: ok, hold on. There are only two things I'm absolutely certain of. A) is that I'll never be certain of anything, ever. Except B) that Merlin is the most loyal and brave man I've ever met and it would take a literal enchantment to change that.

Royal:...

Uther: Arthur! You can at least say that you're certain that I'm your father!!!

Arthur: are you tho? Because if my mom couldn't conceive and you needed Nimue to get her pregnant- is it really you who is my father? How would I know? You also lied to Morgana about HER dad!

Morgana: yeah, he's got a point

Derek: It’s been you since the moment I saw you.

Stiles, hardly able to breathe: Yeah?

Derek: Yeah.

Stiles: Don’t let me die without one kiss.

Derek: How about one bite first? Then we can kiss as much as you’d like for the rest of our lives.

Stiles: *coughs up blood* Promise?

Derek, crying: I promise, baby.

Dereks fangs slid down and he bit into Stiles’ wrist. Locking his fate in with an ancient magic that defied all logical reasoning. The bite is a gift, it has the ability to heal, to bring someone back from the brink of death and yet, it doesn’t always work. He held onto Stiles like if his own life depended on his body accepting the bite. In many ways it did. How could his life go on without his anchor, his love, and his reason for fucking living? Why did he wait so damn long?!?

“Please pull through for me, baby. I can’t, WON’T do this without you. I love you.” Derek repeated this over and over for what seemed like days. Hours went by and there was no change in Stiles’ off grey color skin. He wailed as if he was reliving the fire, the losses of all his family members, the loss of his innocence, and now the loss of his reason for being. As he cradled Stiles against his chest and felt like it was time to let go of his own life as well, he heard it. The thudding of a heart. His heart that resided in Stiles’s chest. Before he could turn him he felt his cheek being held by slender fingers. Soft, warm, and ALIVE!

“Hey my Sourwolf, you weren’t planning on leaving me were you?” He broke and frantically kissed his boy. The kiss was laced with that ancient magic. It cemented their bond in a transcendent way. He FINALLY understood what truly living with purpose meant. He knew then that he’d never take a single moment with this amazing man for granted. “My beloved. Marry me? Please?” Stiles cried and pulled his face so their lips were touching. With a conviction he’d never heard before, he whispered, “a thousand times yes.”

Mercelot fake dating/friends to lovers AU but they’re never actually fake dating it just has that effect when everyone automatically accepts it and doesn’t think to ask because Merlin and Lancelot have always been a pair when they’re together.

Arthur gets a little jealous of Merlin’s time but they still hang out like before so he’s fine once he realises a relationship doesn’t mean he’s loosing his best friend. Gwen is slightly confused because she always assumed Merlin had a crush on Arthur but he’s absolutely smitten with Lance and now she looks back, they really were always good friends and Merlin set her and Arthur up so that couldn’t be right. She tries talking to him about it, he bursts out laughing when she mentions a crush on Arthur and tells her he just loves them both and wants them to be happy together because they’re both his friends. Then she tells him she’s glad he’s happy too, looking at Lancelot but Merlin completely misses it.

Merlin and Lancelot went to a feast together once, not necessarily as a couple but just to go together because they’re friends and they love each other. Everyone assumes they’re dating, and they act like a couple, and eventually when they’re sat reading magic books in Gaius’ chambers together, Lancelot looks up and casually asks “Would you be upset if I fell in love with you?”

Merlin shakes his head then frowns and looks up, staring at Lancelot for a few seconds until his eyes blow wide and he realises. Then he smiles awkwardly and asks “would you be mad if I just realised I’m already in love with you and probably have been for a while without really thinking about it because I’ve never needed to question my relationship with you?”

And Lance is just like “oh good, I didn’t realise or think about it either until one of the druids asked how long we’ve been married.”

Then they start dating for real, nervously announcing it to a very confused round table where everyone’s just like “We know. You weren’t already? Alright. Congrats, good for you.”

Nothing changes, and they get teased relentlessly for not realising they’re been practically married for years without realising it.
