    Summary

    They’d finally done it. All the secrets, all the lies, all the unspoken feelings - they were all out in the open. They were finally, truly, completely together in all things.

    But the next morning, Uther announces to the entire court that Arthur is to marry a princess in three days time.

    This could 100% have been an actual ep. The ridiculousness of it all is precisely the vibe of the actual show (in a good way), like this is what most episodes are like lol. (BBC should have used the archive tag "crack treated seriously", because that's it; that's the show when they are not breaking our hearts.)

    Summary

    “You’re the clumsiest excuse for a servant I’ve ever met!” Uther bellowed across the room, and everyone looked nervously at Merlin.

    “Yes, Arthur says I have the elegance of a newborn lamb.”

    Or…
    Merlin becomes Uther’s manservant for a week.

    Literally YES

    THIS is how I love Uther. This is how I see him and I am so glad someone else picked up on those small sides of Uther that makes him an interesting character in all his shrewdness; almost charmig, thanks to Anthony Head"s amazing acting

    Summary

    Arthur flung the doors to the court open. “I have not been seduced.”

    “Good morning to you too, Arthur,” Uther said with a sigh. “What could this possibly be about?”

    Arthur learns that over half the castle is in love with Merlin, and everyone thinks Arthur's fallen too. He has a minor moment because of it.
