This one’s necessary I love Morgana she’s so cool
BEFORE she went coocoo that wasn’t so cool Morgana:(
this is my first fic
cut me some slack
References to Ancient Celtic Religions & Lore
hopefully not inaccurately
id rather die than upset a bunch of old gods that could turn me into a rabbit
my writing sucks
im aware
I make up for it by being funny though
In my mind I’m hilarious I swear
Readers probably will not agree
no beta we die like lancelot
or DID he?? Awesome ghost sounds!!
Merlin blames himself for everything
its annoying
i definitely didn’t write him to be that way
but it’s also canon so take that haters
They see me rolling
They hating
Merlin also commits tax evasion☺️
Don’t ask me ask the creators of the show
God Merlin (Merlin)
I can’t believe I forgot to tag this
that’s literally the entire basis of the story
Merlin does not commit tax evasion until much later in the story fyi
i feel like readers deserve to know
I see dead people 😃
that’s what Merlin’s gonna sound like for half of the story
Angst with a sad ending
You think this is sad?
its gonna get worse
You are welcome lovely readers ;)
no but i'm not kidding
You're gonna think "oh this is the sad part and the rest of the story is how Merlin copes"
it's not
I'm absolutely WRECKING that poor kid's life
Arthur ended up being a lot more crazy pants than I thought he was going to be
be aware
I may be absolutely hilarious in the tags(😏calm down ladies there's enough to go around)
But this is actually ending as a tragedy
And to think I wrote this to be a lighthearted Magic reveal fic
I read too many sad ending fics
Save Me
Summary
My first fic guys! Say hello to god Merlin, sad Merlin, hurt Arthur, and really confused everyone else!-witerwallyanerdMerlin had been living a lie since he knew what one was. Ealdor lied in the border of Cenred’s kingdom and Camelot, and was much more tolerant of magic than Camelot was.Even so, you could only show so much ability before people got suspicious.So in Ealdor, it had always been playing down his abilities. He never imagined he was going to be hiding them completely. Merlin lived by Gaius’ rules, most of the time. Half the time. Whenever they didn’t get in his way, if he was being honest.However, recently, his magic had been itchy, for lack of better words. He felt it under his skin, in his veins, his hair. Heard it in every breath he breathed, every word that came from his mouth.
Note
This is my first fanfic so my writing’s gonna suck but like😎😎it doesn’t matter because ✨magic✨However if you see any mistakes that burn your eyes feel free to curse my soul because that’s why I’d do to myself. Also let me know so I can fix them, because I’m just like that🤠🤠🤠I’m not sure about a posting schedule right now(my story has like three or four chapters already written), but I’ll try to be as regular as possible. I have a horrible memory but I also get bored really easily and just start going through my phone so hopefully it balances out.Thank you, and I got the idea for this listening to Tales of Cazilor by Naethan Apollo, it doesn’t seem like it because yeah, but I did! Thought that counts, so go listen to his music. And Twenty One Pilots, not cause they really inspired the story but because they’re awesome so go listen to them😘😘
I'm actually so sorry

Hey for the two people who let me know that my formatting went to shit in my last chapter thank you so much because I actually would have never realized.
This is just to let people know that I fixed the formatting of the last chapter, and I apologize sincerely to anyone who had to read that monstrosity.
I'm actually mortified I'm not even kidding.
