Ya Know When People Told Me "when You're Finally Safe Enough That You Can Leave Survival Mode And Start

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

there is no guarantee the trinkets are not cursed. choose at your own risk. reblog to keep the trinket shop traveling.

merthur fic recs: oblivious!merlin pt 6

1. Matters of the Heart by a_written_dream (@a-written-dream)        

 “You must find the person Arthur truly loves,” the Dragon says, and this time it’s Merlin who wants to laugh.

 “Arthur doesn’t love anyone, not since Gwen,” he says, certain of it.

 The air rumbles with the Dragon’s laughter. “It seems you do not know your prince quite as well as you thought, young warlock.”

A 2x10 Sweet Dreams rewrite. After the ordeal with Hengist, Gwen and Arthur decide they are better suited as friends. Arthur still gets enchanted to fall in love with Lady Vivian, Merlin still tries to save his royal ass, and True Loves’ Kiss is still the cure. But if Gwen isn’t Arthur’s true love, then who could it possibly be?

hmmm it’s really a mystery who arthur’s OTHER HALF is

2. Your Eyes Glow by Drifting_Stream    

Arthur’s been acting strangely ever since he’d learned about Merlin’s magic, which he found completely understandable. But asking Merlin to use magic in front of him, when it so obviously made the king uncomfortable? Obviously, Arthur was disgusted by his magic, by him. That had to be it. Right?

~~~

damn it’s like obliviousness is contagious. first arthur doesn’t notice merlin doing magic right in front of him, and now merlin doesn’t noticed [redacted]

3. Next to You (It’s the Rule) by LunaMyLove    

Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.

Or

Arthur and Merlin’s relationship as witnessed and explained by others.

Also, or

Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.

this is probably one of my all time fav fics. the humour is on point

you know when i rewatch merlin all i can think is how hilarious it would've been to have merlin keep aithusa. like could you imagine after he hatched her she starts just following him around, he tries to lose her on his way back to the castle and fails, so now he has to protect this baby from being seen as he sneaks into his and gaius's chambers

THEN he has to sneak past a sleeping gaius and somehow get aithusa to stay put in his room all day (it doesn't work she follows him out to the castle)

now merlin has to convince everyone this is some new cool lizard he found and NOT a dragon...and also come up with a good reason why this cool lizard is following him around like a duckling. and why it just climbed his arm and is hugging him for dear life
