Imagined’s 2022 Merlin Fic Masterlist

say you’ll still be by my side (28k) merlin/arthur, canon era, magic reveal, getting together

The druids call Merlin Emrys. Arthur isn't sure why they think his hapless manservant is some sort of powerful sorcerer, but it's certainly a good way to improve Camelot's relationship with the druids. It's only a little bit of a lie, surely.

Except it turns out that it's not a lie at all.

“Merlin should take some of the credit, turns out he’s not always entirely stupid.” — Arthur

neither “that’s not canon” nor “fuck canon we made this all up” but a secret third thing (canon shouldn’t be taken as gospel but is useful as a reference point for building upon and recontextualizing characters and details. if you worship the source material as unchangeable then fandom in general probably isn’t for you. if you have complete disdain for the source material you would probably enjoy yourself more in a different fandom)

Need a new word for old blorbos that aren't really your blorbos anymore but you still feel fondness or them. The series ended or you fell out of the fandom, but your mutuals still put them on your dash sometimes and you go aw. he's still out there making it in the big city.

Blorbeens is the funniest response so far thank you. They been my blorbos
