I wonder, what secrets of the universe is he peering into?
That'd actually be such a great magic reveal, because Merlin would 100% be like "go ahead and tell someone, no one will believe you."
And Audrey would hate him all the more, both for making her look like a madwoman if she (rightfully) accuses him of stealing her cooked chickens using magic and for being fully capable of making her life so much easier by simply making Arthur's food with magic but refusing to.
I love it!

Thanks for tagging me @cinnabon-sweetroll-tiramisu! I think it's safe to say that I'm absolutely screwed in this scenario 😆🙃
Anyone who sees this and wants to join in, consider yourself tagged!
Your 3rd photo of a fictional character is adopting you, how screwed are you? Tag a few people! (I credit my friend @moonsandsuns360 for the idea!)
My third photo:
(Tagging @alilcherry @redsoncoded @featheredartist @emefaerieart because y’all came to mind first, and ofc we can’t forget @moonsandsuns360 as well!!)
I don't know why, but I kind of get the vibe that you're a person who has a lot of pets!
Since I've been on a roll with short au prompts recently, here's another one! This is an au where, during the battle of Camlann, Merlin manages to save Arthur and defeat Morgana and her army. However, it comes at the cost of revealing his magic and his identity as Emrys. Furious at the perceived betrayal, Arthur attempts to fight him, but Merlin doesn't want to fight.
Here's the twist though: the story is written like a video game boss battle from Arthur's perspective. Here's an example:
Final Boss: EMRYS ATK: 999999999 DEF: 999999999 HP: ∞
EMRYS: I don't want to fight you, Arthur.
What will you do? >Attack Talk Use Item Run
You attack with a steel sword! 0 damage!
EMRYS: Please, stop this. EMRYS chooses to spare you!
What will you do? Attack >Talk Use Item Run
What would you like to say? >Insult Question Appease
You call EMRYS a traitor. EMRYS looks guilty. EMRYS's DEF lowered!
EMRYS: I never wanted to hurt you. EMRYS chooses to spare you!
What will you do? Attack >Talk Use Item Run
What would you like to say? Insult >Question Appease
You ask EMRYS why he has magic. EMRYS: I was born with it. I use it only for you, Arthur. EMRYS's DEF lowered!
EMRYS: My life has always been yours. EMRYS chooses to spare you!
What will you do? Attack Talk >Use Item Run
What item would you like to use? Dagger Steel Sword >Excalibur
You draw Excalibur from its sheath! EMRYS's ATK, DEF, and HP lowered!
EMRYS: If that is what you want, then I will accept it. EMRYS chooses to spare you!
SECOND PHASE CONDITIONS MET!
Final Boss: MERLIN ATK: 0 DEF: 0 HP: 1
MERLIN looks at you with tears in his eyes. MERLIN: I will accept your judgement, Arthur.
What will you do? >Attack Talk Use Item Spare
…
What will you do? Attack Talk Use Item >Spare
Hello everyone! First of all, thank you all so much for all of the support you've given my blog! I was a little nervous about posting on a new platform, and didn't even plan on posting very often, but your overwhelming support has led me to posting my unhinged ideas and ramblings for the world to enjoy! So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much! There have been multiple times over this past week that I almost started crying from all of the love you all have given my writing. Because of your support, I'm going to continue writing and posting my au ideas on here frequently!
And secondly, I've gotten a lot of questions about this, so I figured that I'd make it an announcement so everyone could see. These au prompts are free for anyone to write about if they're inspired by them! You have my permission to take any of my prompts and run wild with it! The primary reason why I'm posting them here is because I thought that they were good ideas, but I don't have the time to fully write all of them into fics. So, I figured that I would give them out here, so anyone could play around and write about them and make them into fics if they wanted to! Quite frankly, I'd be very honored to see people writing about my silly little ideas!
Lastly, I'll be going back and tagging my previous prompts with "#merlin prompts", and will be tagging all of my future prompts with it as well, to make navigating my blog a bit easier! That way, there'll be one place for you to find of all my prompts!
Again, thank you all so much for your love and support! I look forward to sharing more of my ramblings with you all! :D
EDIT: Also, I just set up an ask box in case anyone has any questions about my prompts!
With love,
Ramblings of a Chaotic Neutral
I could 100% see this as either modern Merlin rolling up to the lake of Avalon like after Arthur's resurrection, or as modern Merlin who sent himself back in time and confuses the hell out of Camelot! I love it either way!
A king hired a new official court sorcerer expecting a elderly white haired human in a robe not a raven haired haired 20 something riding a motorcycle in a leather jacket and aviators but he can not deny their efficiency.
You understand the vision! As funny (and justified) as Merlin fighting the gods would be, I always get a good laugh out of imagining Merlin rampaging through the underworld like:
While Arthur hasn't even been dead for an hour yet!
Hello everyone! While I'm working on my next au, I had a fun little idea for another Halloween au! I don't really have the time to flesh this out, but I wanted to share it anyways!
Basically, in this au, everything in the show goes the exact same way as in canon, including the ending. Arthur dies, and Merlin left to wander the earth without him.
Except this is Merlin we're talking about here. There's no force in the universe that's strong enough to keep Merlin from Arthur's side, not even death.
So, Merlin starts bargaining with the Sidhe, who refuse to give him any information until he forces them to talk. They reveal that Arthur's soul is resting in the Underworld while his body rested in the lake, kept pristine by its magic until the day he was fated to rise again.
Merlin then takes the natural next step of opening a portal to the Underworld and stepping through it while armed with Excalibur, ready to annihilate anything that gets in his way.
So, Merlin fights his way through the Underworld Doomslayer-style, searching for his king. There are, of course, many monsters that he fights along the way, but they're no match for Merlin's magic and the power held in Excalibur.
Finally, after fighting monsters and making his way to the center of the Underworld, a high-ranking demon finally gives him some answers: the King of the Underworld knows that Merlin is seeking out Arthur's soul, but he refuses to give Arthur back to Merlin willingly.
Merlin then begins his trek towards the King of the Dead's palace, cutting down any beast that stands in his way, until he finally faces the demonic King of the Underworld himself. It was a brutal battle, but Merlin ends up victorious and claims the throne of the Underworld for himself. The demonic monsters, who value strength above all else, are more than happy to pledge their loyalty to a stronger king than the one they had before.
No sooner than Merlin sat on the throne of the dead, he demanded that Arthur's soul be brought to him.
The demon forcibly leading Arthur into the throne room: We have done as you requested, Sire.
Arthur, upon seeing Merlin sitting on a throne with demons bowing to him: Merlin, I've only been gone for half a year, WTF?
Merlin, looking VERY demonic but overjoyed to see Arthur again:
That's all on this idea for now, but I might expand on it later! I think Merlin overthrowing the King of the Underworld and become a Demon King just to get Arthur back would be a fun story lol!
A great selection of my incoherent thoughts!AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/users/ChaoticNeutral01/pseuds/ChaoticNeutral01
