“You know, if you showed half as much devotion to your duties,” Arthur drawls, speaking more to his desk than anyone, “as you do to lining the tavern’s coffers, I might be freed from living in such squalor.”

“So you missed me?” Merlin is pitched, grinning, over the threshold of the doorway, and at Arthur's glance he throws his filthy rucksack to the floor. 

He looks tired, Arthur thinks; his thin shoulders slumping beneath the shreds of his old jacket, dark bruises pressed underneath his eyes like brands. A slat of sun creeps through the blinds to set alight his dimples, and limns the long, red gash cleaved across his brow. 

Arthur bites back a twist of bile; the sickly, hot compulsion to draw his sword out and slash the world to tatters, then cross the floor and cage Merlin in his grasp.

“My rooms missed you,” he amends, because he cannot say any of that. “Look at the state of the place!”

merlin pisses arthur off on purpose way too many times for him to not find angry arthur hot. like this man is ragebaiting blondie and batting 100. he wants it all around the clock hope nobody knocks opposite of soft

freedom from the body, and freedom from the pain.

Arthur: I wouldn’t look for you if you were missing

Merlin and the knights playing never have I ever

At first, it's innocent stuff and Gwaine complains that it's all dull trivia and they need to start getting into the more interesting questions. Leon looks him dead in the eyes and says "Fine. Never have I ever been arrested" Literally everyone but Leon drinks.

From that point it becomes a challenge to see who's done the most outrageously criminal shit "Never have I ever been in a bar fight" "Never have I ever committed identity fraud" "Never have I ever broken someone out of the dungeons" "Never have I ever stolen from the royal vaults" "Never have I ever committed treason with the King still in the room" And Merlin. Just. Keeps. Drinking. Now it's about trying to find something Merlin hasn't done but one of the others has. The answer turns out to be "Never have I ever been banished from a kingdom"

Merlin passes out before he runs out of criminal things he's done. Magic is the only reason he's still alive the next morning after how high his blood alcohol level was.

After Merlin passes out the knight just look at each other wondering how Merlin hasn't been executed yet with all the shit he's done. Gwaine chuckles and shakes his head "Perks of being the king's mistress"

Merlin’s character progression going from “I will keep Arthur alive if it means bringing back magic” to “I will keep Arthur alive even if it means never bringing back magic” which ended up being the reason why Arthur dies AND magic not being legalized needs to be studied.
