Between work and family obligations I have had No Time this week, but I did just take an hour to watch Merlin, and I am still utterly in love with this season. Which should be renamed Merlin and His Many Excellent Boyfriends. <3
Right now I want all the fic in the world about Gwaine being secretly or not-so-secretly in love with Merlin and pining ridiculously and committing feats of great and lesser bravery in order to woo him. Preferably with a side of kidnapping and a generous serving of h/c.
That one scene with Gwaine just waiting for Merlin, all quiet and hopeful, oh my heart! I feel like we missed some important fight or falling out, because I don't know why he's all tentative and shy and Merlin was all gruff and impatient. Except maybe that Gwaine came to Camelot with the assumption that he was Merlin's knightly best friend (/boyfriend) only to find out Merlin has scads of knightly best friends (/boyfriends) and now Gwaine doesn't know where he stands and feels all uncertain and only wants Merlin to LOVE HIM BEST. "Probably don't need my help, then," but he's going to offer it anyway, hopeful and sad and resigned! I want ALL THE PINING FIC. PINING AND WOOING.
Also loved: Merlin being all adult and fierce with Arthur! Winning the loyalty of magic users with awesomeness and stirring soundtracks! Gaius trying so hard to keep Merlin safe! Gauis and Arthur's conversation at the end! <3
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a show this much, and looked forward it to it this much every week. My expectations were so low at the beginning of the season, but despite the plot holes and silliness, I am suddenly so incredibly invested. After three years, this show has finally found its stride. Please stay this good forever.
