All Eyes On Us

Summary:

When Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys land the two lead roles on an up and coming new show, neither expect their lives to change so drastically when they meet.

A tale of two pining, oblivious boys as they deal with meddling friends, the media, and coming out.

Notes:

What started out as a little fic has blossomed into this.

I tried to make sure that all usernames were not being used, and, of course, what is written does not reflect any persons that may hold that username.

This fic is unbeta'd, so all mistakes are my own.

Camelot! News by Mithian Rodor

Just a few days after the rumours started that Gwen Smith cheated on former beau, Arthur Pendragon, with his best friend, Lancelot DuLac, the internet has been buzzing. Many of Pendragon’s rabid fans have been actively outraged, sending death threats to Smith over social media. Pendragon has since set the record straight about the breakup on his own Twitter account.

Merlin Emrys lands co-lead in new show, The Sword in the Stone, alongside Arthur Pendragon
Camelot! News by Mithian Rodor

Merlin Emrys, the fresh faced actor just off of his starring role in The Tempest at Shakespeare’s Globe, has landed the coveted co-lead of the highly anticipated new series, The Sword in the Stone. He fittingly will play the Merlin to the ever charming Arthur Pendragon’s King of Camelot. The irony of their names has not gone unnoticed by anyone with the internet. Such hashtags as #TheRealMerlinandArthur and #PendragonandEmrys have been trending for days. In a recent interview Emrys stated that “Maybe it’s destiny,” in acknowledgement of both he and Arthur’s names. He also recently said that he “can’t wait to get started” and has already met with much of the cast and that it has made him even more excited about the project. Emrys is not without his own drama though, as he recently dropped Mordred Cerdan as representation. Rumours have been suggesting something more than just a conflict of interest, but he has since added Freya Lake to his team. This could be the start of a new chapter for Emrys as The Sword in the Stone is set to premiere next fall.

Today 8:23pm

Can you, for once in your life,
not be a complete and utter prat?

Can you, for once in YOUR life,
not be an utter imbecile?

Oh, real mature.

Honestly, Merlin, how many times
do I have to say it?

How many times do I have to apologize?

I’m sorry, okay?
I didn’t know about what happened
with Mordred, and I shouldn’t have
made that joke. He’s a complete tosser,
and I’m glad he’s out of your life.
Your PR people should be supportive
and look out for you, and...be...not like him.

You deserve better. Hell, I’ve only known you,
for what a few weeks? And I KNOW you do.
You deserve so much, Merlin.

I don’t know what else to do. Filming starts
soon and I don’t want there to be
any bad blood between us.

You’ve done enough, Arthur, honestly.
I’m sorry I snapped at you.
It’s just been a tense couple of weeks,
and I’m a little touchy about the whole thing.
And you didn’t know.

I’ll tell you everything when I see you.
You deserve to know at this point.
I’ll say for now that he was so
overtly controlling that
things were…not good.

And your joke about things
not always going my way,
just tipped me over on a bad day.

You’re quickly becoming
one of my best friends,
if I’m honest.
And I trust you.

That doesn’t excuse what I did.
I’m sorry I said what I did,
and how much it hurt you.

Obviously, I’m a brilliant best mate.
I’m well-spoken, handsome, the undefeated
champ in Mario Kart...I mean the list goes on…

A massive clotpole...

Thank you.

Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys: Feuding?
Camelot! News by Vivian Olaf

Recent rumours about two lead actors feuding have led to all eyes being on Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys. Sources say that the two have gotten off to a rocky start on the set of The Sword in the Stone. With Pendragon’s cocky charm and Emrys’ eccentric ways, one could only assume they would come to a head at some point. Reports say that the two refused to speak to one another between takes and only begrudgingly spoke when necessary. One insider who visited the set said their interactions were like “watching a tennis match, but instead of damaging blows to a tennis ball being dealt, it was egos with well traded insults.”

Could the stars be on the rocks already? And what impact will this have on the show? Stay with Camelot! News as we follow this developing story.

Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys: The New Bromance That Is Sweeping the Internet (and Our Hearts)
Camelot! News by Mithian Rodor

Move aside Matt Damon and Ben Affleck there’s a new bromance in town: Merlin Emrys and Arthur Pendragon, or more affectionately known as Merthur. The two stars of the widely anticipated new show, The Sword in the Stone, have recently taken to social media (and real life) to showcase their budding friendship, and to say so long to any mentions of feuding! To Twitter wars and lunch bro dates these two have the UK and the rest of the world in a permanent state of heart eyes.

Recently, Camelot! News got the opportunity to sit down with Emrys and Pendragon as they took a break from filming.

We asked them about how the two of them got along at the start. “It was rough for a little while.” Pendragon laughed, nudging Emrys who was sat beside him.

“We just didn’t get each other’s humour. It wasn’t as dramatic as it was made out to be,” Emrys added.

“Now it’s kinda like we’re always on our own little wavelength. People are always like, ‘oh, it’s just Merlin and Arthur again’ don’t worry,” Pendragon said. They both laugh and smile. It’s easy to see why people often say that to them.

The entire interview with Emrys and Pendragon will be posted this coming Friday. Be sure to follow @Camelot!News on Twitter to be notified first when the interview drops.

arthur-pendragons:

okay y’all as much as i lowkey want merthur to be real (and really can we come up with something that sounds better) it’s absolutely 100 percent NOT OKAY to harass merlin and arthur about it and basically bully them into saying that they are together or anything of the sort.

no one should be speculating on either of their sexualities or forcing them to admit to something or label themselves in anyway. IT. IS. NONE. OF. ANYONE’S. BUSINESS. you all claim that you’re for the LGBTQ+ and their rights, but it really seems that y’all just care about how you ~want two boys to kiss and don’t have any value for the ACTUAL people you’re speculating about. if you really understood everything then maybe you wouldn’t try to actively out people.

they’re real people too maybe try not to forget that.


#honestly some of y’all…. #there’s a reason merthur shippers are getting a bad name #GET YOUR LIFE #i’m scared to see what will happen when the show debuts #and again #THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE #NOT YOUR FICTIONAL OTP #wank for ts

kingofcamelots:

we all have heard about the drama that is #merthur but what we all don’t like to address is when fandom (*cough* shippers *cough*) take things too far. the amount of times i’ve seen people blatantly and /explicitly/ write things to both merlin and arthur online about their sexualities etc etc is absolutely appalling. we as a fandom should not let this happen! do you want merlin and arthur to stop being so open about their friendship? how awkward do you want to make things by the time the show debuts. i know we’ve all seen the teaser clips and clearly their chemistry transfers onto the screen and their characters but we need to take a breather and think about what’s happening. it’s one thing to post something on tumblr or w/e but when you starting @ing the both of them !!!!!!!! things can get awful fast. use your brains people!!!

Blind Item: Two Lead Actors Secretly Together?
Celebrity Gossip Source by Morgause Gossip

Sources say that two popular lead actors are keeping their new relationship on the down low. After a messy breakup and the fact that both seem to firmly be in the closet, these two actors are letting their “bro-dates” do all the talking. Lunch dates and various home visits are being used as a cover, along with a suspicious double date. Only time will tell if these two will take the leap and make it public. Sources are betting they will during the fall once their new projects are out.

Blind Item: Trouble in Paradise?
Celebrity Gossip Source by Morgause Gossip

Sources say that a closeted couple may be on the rocks. The cause: jealousy. A new rival is fighting for one half’s affection, and that has left the other fuming. A source close to the pair said that there has been a lot of fighting between them, and that they’ve been seeing less and less of each other. Bets are that the wedge between them will continue to grow, leaving the rival with a good shot to win the heart of the one they desire.

Oh, I was hoping

I'll see if I can

This is more important
than his movie screening.
I should have checked
the dates before I agreed.

I’m sure he’ll understand.

Ha, if you say so.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Really, Merlin?
Like you don’t know.

That guy hangs off
your every word…

Anyway, we're finally
becoming friends.
Or at least he doesn't
hate me as much anymore.

He wouldn't take it lightly.
I shouldn't have asked.
Don't worry about it, Merlin.

He never hated you.
He just thinks you’re
a cabbage head sometimes.

And well…

Ha. Ha. Ha.
Hysterical.

I would’ve loved
for you to be there.

But I’ll tell you all about it later.
Promise.

Arthur…
I really am sorry.
I wish I could be there.

I know.

Arthur Pendragon Wins Big at Annual UK Critic Awards
Camelot! News by Mithian Rodor

Arthur Pendragon walked away with all seven awards he was nominated for last night at the annual UK Critic Awards, making him the big winner of the night. He, along with Lancelot DuLac, Percival Cerdan, and Isolde de Bois were all nominated for the most awards. Pendragon was most notably nominated for ‘Best Actor’ for the film, Among the Living and the Dead. Alongside him for the night was his sister, and fashion model, Morgana Pendragon, who left us all stunned by her beauty and charm. But notably absent from the event was Pendragon’s castmate, and seemingly BFF, Merlin Emrys, who has most recently been seen out and about with other castmate, Gwaine Greene. The two, instead, attended Greene's movie premiere for The Down Under, sending their good luck to the nominees via social media.

Catch up on all the major moments from the show and the list of winners below.


Arthur Pendragon @ArthurPendragon · 6:37pm - 9 June 2017

Merlin Emrys: From Ealdor to Camelot, His Rise to Fame
Avalon Magazine by Elena Godwyn

Merlin offers me a cuppa as we sit down on his sofa. I look around and take in his home. There’s pictures of friends and family on the walls, pops of colour everywhere, and everything feels warm, lived in. Loved.

My eyes linger on the pictures that are scattered around—there’s a few of him and his mother, Hunith, he tells me. “I make sure to call her at least once a week,” he says, smiling. “She did everything she could for me growing up; the least I can do is call her. I keep trying to get her to move up here, but she won’t budge. Ealdor is her home.”

He sees me looking at the pictures of him and co-star, Arthur Pendragon. He sighs before I can say anything. “Just go on and ask me…”

I stop for a moment. The rumours have been circulating about his sexuality and if he’s dating someone for some time, even before Pendragon came into the picture. I ask him about it. He shrugs, taking a sip of his tea. “It’s never been something that’s fazed me. Everyone always craves to know more about someone, even if it’s something they have no need to know. It’s all about who’s dating who, who do they like, it’s a never ending cycle.”

He pauses for a moment. “For the record, Arthur and I are not dating.” The internet will have a meltdown now, I tell him. He smiles, eyes twinkling. “I’m not dating Gwaine either, or anyone for that matter.”

He seems hesitant now, as he looks at me. “But, there are options out there for me to find someone someday. You know, I’ve never said I was straight.”

The shock must show on my face.

Emrys laughs softly, a wolfish grin forms on his face. “I’m bisexual.”

jackskellington:

big deal merlin’s bisexual it’s not like he’s gonna start dating arthur now (who is straight) like you all need to get a life and move on and stop projecting your fantasies onto him

i’m sure he’ll eventually settle down with a girl and have a family etc etc so just accept it

okay i told myself i wasn’t going to reblog this but here we are. no one thinks that he is going to start dating arthur now. like in what world do you think that people are freaking out about that. we’re happy b/c people LIKE ME have someone that openly represents us. and a famous actor who is influential nonetheless. i’m sorry, can we not be happy about that??? and proud of him for feeling like he could share this part of himself with everyone????? he didn’t have too???? honestly stfu OP

oh, and for the record, you’re right, he COULD settle down with a woman and have a family (which i mean u are aware there is a thing called ADOPTION right….) and guess what HE WOULD STILL BE BISEXUAL. shocking, i know……………

Merlin and Arthur’s Adventures in Camelot
Camelot! News by Mithian Rodor

Mithian Rodor: There are so many people excited for The Sword in the Stone are you afraid that it won’t live up to the hype?

Merlin Emrys: Well, I certainly am now that you say that...

Arthur Pendragon: [laughs] There’s always a little bit of fear, I think. But I’m proud of the work we put into it, and the script was incredible. I can’t wait to see people’s reaction.

ME: Yeah, I hope they love it as much as we do.

MR: Merlin, you’ve recently made a stir in the press when you came out as bisexual. What made you decide to come out?

ME: I just decided that enough was enough, really. I didn’t want to lie to anyone anymore, and I just wanted be myself. Take it or leave it. My sexuality has nothing to do with my acting ability anyway. [shrugs] It’s just who I am, and if my being open helps someone that’s struggling then I’m glad. I want people to know that it’s okay to be gay, bi, pan, trans, asexual, whatever. To be proud of who you are and never let anyone tell you to be something you’re not. You’re strong and brave. Never give up.

AP: Well said, Merlin. Well said.

ME: [smiles and blushes] Thanks.

MR: I think you’re helping a lot of people. But what I’m sure many people are clamouring to know…are you two single or off the market?

AP: Ah yes, I’m sure the people are really dying to know…

ME: ...We’re both single.

MR: I can’t imagine why.

AP: [snorts] Let’s just keep the mystery alive then shall we?

ME: It’s because Arthur likes to pick up people with magic tricks.

MR: Really? How so?

ME: Well, he won’t tell me his secrets but it involves a lot of chanting and a suspicious white, fluffy bunny.

AP: [groaning] This is what I have to deal with people.

MR: You would think he could just magic up some flowers then and…

ME: Ah, see, now that would be too easy.

MR: True, true.

ME: He likes to make everything much more complicated than it actually is. Not so good with words this one.

AP: Obviously, that’s why I have you.

ME: Obviously.

Wonderful.

Suck it up buttercup.
You can do it.

What’s a little drunk
texting between friends.

Probably the part
where only one of us
was drunk…

AND I told him
I liked him.

The Elyan Thomas Show: Stars of The Sword in the Stone, Arthur Pendragon, Merlin Emrys, and Gwaine Greene - 14 September 2017
Interview transcript provided by BBCamelot

Thomas: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the show the stars of the upcoming series, The Sword in the Stone: Arthur Pendragon, Merlin Emrys, and Gwaine Greene!

[audience cheering]

Thomas: Thank you for being here gentlemen.

Greene: It’s our pleasure.

Pendragon: Thanks for having us.

Thomas: Now, we’re just a few weeks out from the premiere of The Sword in the Stone, can you give us all a little hint of what to expect?

Emrys: It’s a fantastic take on the Arthurian legend. I think it will surprise a lot of people with the twists and turns it takes. Honestly, it’s one of the best shows I’ve worked on.

Pendragon: Yeah, I think that people will really enjoy it. There’s a lot of action and suspense, but it still reels you in with the drama and depth.

Greene: Plus, there’s some gratuitous top shots.

Pendragon: [groans] Gwaine.

Greene: Oh stop it, Art, you know the people wanna see you without a top on.

Pendragon: Please stop.

Greene: [grins]

Emrys: Now imagine this happening everyday on set...and in life.

Thomas: I think we all can only take a guess at what happens behind the scenes. It’s easy to see that the three of you are close.

Emrys: I mean, these two are easily some of the best mates I’ve ever had. And every single person on the cast and crew were wonderful. Top notch.

Pendragon: Definitely. I’m pretty sure I’m stuck with these two for the rest of my life.

Greene: You’re such a big softie, Pendragon.

Emrys: He really is, isn’t he?

Pendragon: Okay okay. I won’t listen to this slander against my character.

Emrys: [snorts] Right.

Thomas: From the clip that was shown, it really feels like there’s a distinct similarity between the demeanors of your characters and yourselves.

Emrys: In some ways, yes. It’s easy to draw upon our actual friendship, but it really comes down to the writing. And I think you always put a little bit of yourself into the characters that you play. It’s how you connect to them.

Pendragon: The script the writers put out made it so easy to feel inspired by the characters, and really feel like they’re a part of you.

Greene: I wish I was half as badass—oops can I say that?—as Gawaine. On set, when we were all in costume, it did feel like we were proper Knights of the Round Table.

Thomas: It’s interesting that you all seem to be playing your namesakes. Is that just a happy coincidence?

Emrys: Obviously, I would have made the perfect King Arthur. [laughs]

Greene: You would have.

Pendragon: Right. But, uh, honestly, I think it just happened the way it was meant to happen. If that makes sense. I mean, I guess it seems odd that we do, but it fits.

Emrys: It’s hard to describe.

Pendragon: Yeah.

Thomas: Now, in the Arthurian legend there’s a great mixture of adventure and romance. Specifically the love triangle between King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, and Queen Guinevere. Does the show dabble into that at all?

Pendragon: Tamsin and Philip, who play Lancelot and Guinevere, were great to work with. I can’t tell you too much, but some of my favorite emotional scenes to shoot were with them.

Greene: You can draw your own conclusion. [winks]

Thomas: I’m sure all the ladies are excited to see all of you dashing knights—

Emrys: And magicians…

Thomas: And magicians, of course, develop love on screen, but I’m sure they’re all wondering if any of you lads are taken in real life?

Greene: Ah, yes, the age old question.

Emrys: He’s obviously single.

Greene: [smirks] Ladies…

[cheers from audience]

Pendragon: [grimaces, shakes his head]

Thomas: [laughing] How about you, Merlin? Arthur?

Emrys: I am not taken, no.

Pendragon: [pauses] Well, there is someone I have my eye on.

Emrys: [mumbling] What?

Thomas: I can feel the heartbreak of teenage girls everywhere.

Pendragon: I wouldn’t go that far.

Thomas: Well, I wish you the best of luck, Arthur. And to all of you on the new show, which is sure to be a hit. Thank you all for joining us tonight, and be sure to catch The Sword in the Stone on BBCamelot on the 6th of October at 9pm. Gentlemen, thank you.

Greene: Thanks for having us.

Emrys: Thank you.

Pendragon: Cheers.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

Right.

I will…

MERLIN AND ARTHUR. like i know they were talking about it on twitter but i was !!!!!!!!!!!! it was like a dream. and omg my mom was like “aren’t those two boys the ones you’re always talking about” yes it is mom, let me live okay. ANYWAY. let me just say that they are so gorgeous in person like they were too much to look at it hurt me and they’re SO SWEET. like i can’t get over how nice they were to everyone. you could tell they were enjoying themselves and were happy to be helping out. GENUINELY. like god i’m so glad that these two are the ones i’ve chosen to stan. i love them.

also just imagine merlin and arthur covered in puppies. that was a thing that happened.


#i still am in shock #sry if this is rambly #personal #i’m sure i’ll remember more later

           that’s amazing!! spill the deetz on the merthur tho girl lmao

thanks guys!!! lmao okay not to get too ~tinhatty or w/e but they were always by each other it was like they just gravitated towards each other. and arthur always draped his arm over merlin’s shoulders and dragged him around. IDK you could tell they’re really comfortable together. omg and they kept making faces at each other it was adorable.


#there was so much to take in #i wanted to ask for a selfie but i was too shy #i will regret this til i die #lmao #but srsly they were too cute #like the definition of relationship goals

This calls for immediate

If we don’t give them
a push, where will they
be????

You know Arthur
will kill us both if
he finds out.

You do know that, right?

He could try.

And try I’m
sure he will.

Probably.

But he’s a stubborn,
oblivious moron, and
I can no longer stand
for it.

Right…

Oh stop,
you love me.

Indeed I do.

So, what’s the plan?

Well...it’ll
go like this...

Blind Item: The New It Couple?
Celebrity Gossip Source by Morgause Gossip

Two stars were spotted last night having an intimate dinner, where they cuddled and held hands before jetting off together hours later. This highly rumoured couple have yet to publicly state their relationship status, choosing to stay hidden through denials. But insiders close to the couple say that they’re devising a plan to come out soon, and are ready to become the new power couple with both of them having a new show out soon. Sources say that this announcement may cause some controversy, but many will be left nonplussed.

“…The time we agreed on with Gwaine…”

“Any chance you can head over here now?”

“…”

“What?”

“Are you planning something, Arthur?”

“I don’t know, it’s plausible that I may have decided to do something nice for this guy that I like.”

“Oh, a guy you like, huh? Whoever could that be?”

“Ah, you don’t know him. Dark hair, legs for days, seems like a dweeb.”

“Wow, I’ve never felt so wooed in my entire life.”

“Hmm, I bet you would if you got your arse over here.”

The Sword in the Stone premieres with high ratings
Camelot! News by Mithian Rodor

The highly anticipated, The Sword in the Stone, premiered last night with the highest ratings of all networks, and to rave reviews. The show follows King Arthur (Arthur Pendragon) and his confidant/servant, Merlin (Merlin Emrys), as they navigate their way through courtly duties, epic sword fights, and just what they should do about magic in this interesting take on the Arthurian legend.

The chemistry between Pendragon and Emrys is a highlight and their top notch acting skills held the show together when the pacing lacked. The show had all the elements of a quality fantasy show, and we can’t wait to see more!

Do you think
The Sword in the Stone will continue to live up to the hype? Let us know what you thought about the episode in the comments below!

Arthur Pendragon papped…kissing a guy!
Camelot! News by Vivian Olaf

In surprising news, Arthur Pendragon was seen out last night at the popular gay club, The Castle, with a mysterious new beau. Rumours have been going strong regarding Pendragon’s sexuality for months, and with this lip lock with an unidentified brunette male wearing a snapback he seemingly has answered them. The two were looking quite affectionate as they shared an impassioned kiss outside against the back of the building before the brunette, who’s back remained towards the paparazzi cameras, pulled Pendragon along into the awaiting cab.

Check out the photos below, and leave us your thoughts on just who could have caught Pendragon’s attention.

arthur-pendragons:

this whole this is so WILD and a w f u l like it was obvious that arthur never intended to come out this way (if he ever planned to and not that he ever /had/ to tbh) and just some things that the media is saying combined with how some of y’all are acting like merlin/arthur were being forced to NOT come out and coming up with all these wild conspiracy theories like I AM TIRED

thank you!!!!! and god we haven’t even heard ANYTHING from arthur yet like…just stop

#wank for ts #can you all chill for like 2 secs #jfc #how about you support merlin and arthur #especially ARTHUR #stop projecting your own fantasies onto them #PLEASE #you can’t even tell who is in that picture with him #it’s blurry as fuck #just support him ffs

i didn’t want to say it but……… i’d recognize the back of merlin anywhere and it’s def him that’s macking on arthur


#sorry not sorry #like i am LIVING for snapback merlin rn #give me all the frat boy aus lmao

theladyofthelake:

the more i keep looking at those pictures (I’M SORRY OKAY) like the more i’m convinced that it is merlin w/ arthur. for starters the small height difference, the snapback (MERLIN HAS WORE IT BEFORE OKAY I REMEMBER THAT DAY IN ALL ITS INFAMY OKAY I WILL NEVER FORGET), and tbh idc that that pic is blurry as fuck like it’s obv merlin honestly who else would it be???

Phone Call
10:31pm — 30 October, 2017

“Hello, you’ve reached the voicemail box of Merlin Emrys. Please leave a message after the tone.”

“Merlin, it’s Arthur, I-I’m so sorry. For everything. I, god, I didn’t mean to shut you out. It’s just—this whole thing spun out of control so fast. And I freaked out, and am still freaking out a little, A LOT. But that doesn’t excuse what I did. That I hurt you. I know you wanted to be there for me, and I couldn’t let you…everything was too much.

“Gods, what am I even saying. I know you probably hate me; Christ I would hate me if I was you. But I hope you believe how sorry I am, truly. You mean so much to me it scares me sometimes. There’s just something about you. You make me want to be better. I know I mucked this whole thing up. I’ve just sat in my room lately like some paranoid loser while Morgana tried to make me get it together…

“Just...I’m not ashamed of you or of being with you. It’s—I—my whole life I’ve had to hide this part of me. I’ve locked it away out of this fear that’s been instilled in me ever since I was a teenager. Luckily, you’ve never met my father, but I’ve always felt this enormous pressure to live up to his expectations. ‘Nothing less than perfection, Arthur,’ he would always say. And I know he didn’t approve of me liking guys. He caught me once back in sixth form. You know that scar you always trace? Well, that’s from where—

“Anyway, I—you deserve more than this voicemail message. I can never apologize enough for my actions. And I, well, I love you. I love you so much, Merlin. I don’t care if it’s too soon to say that. This past year since I’ve met you has changed me. I feel like I’ve known you my entire life. Just, gods, if you can find it in your heart to give me another chance, please, just call me back.”

Okay, so, we
have a plan?

Yes.

We’ll release the
statement/video as soon
as you’re ready.

I’ll proof it, as will
Morgana. There’s
no trying to stop her.

Once we send it out
it’ll be at all the major
presses within the hour.
We’ll send it the same
time you post the video
of you making the
statement to twitter.

So, no going back?

Do what you think you should.

No going back then.
I can do this.

We’re all proud of you, Arthur.
We’re with you every step
of the way.

I’ve never doubted that.
Thank you.

Arthur Pendragon: The Real Me
A statement to the press, and most importantly, to all of you, my family, friends, and fans.

Hello, everyone. It’s me, Arthur Pendragon. Hi. I just want to start this out by saying, thank you to everyone that has supported me throughout my life. My family, friends, and fans, you have no idea how thankful I am for you all. Especially these last few days and weeks.

By now I’m sure you all have seen the snapshot into my private life. The kiss seen around the world, apparently. That part of me was something that I have not been ready to share with the world. Until now.

I’m gay. And I have been my entire life. To be completely honest, I’m still working on the label, and whether or not I even want to use one, but for now, it helps me. Helps me keep a clear head of who I am. Whether I’m bi or just gay. I am who I am, and I hope it doesn’t change how you see me.

I grew up in a harsh reality where anything that wasn’t “normal” was frowned upon. I tried my best to be who I thought I should be even if it clashed with who I was really was. I’ve hid this part of myself for so long, it was ingrained into me to not share it—to not be open.

But my private life has been overwhelming broadcasted for most of my adult life. From my romantic relationships to my familial relationships. It’s all out there. And maybe I am a little bitter to have this one shred of myself that I’ve struggled with put out there without my consent, but I will no longer let other people dictate my life. I am coming out on my own terms, and I want anyone else that may be struggling with their own identity to know that they are not alone. You are never alone. You can get through this, and you can achieve your own happiness.

And, I just want to say, for the record that when Gwen and I split it was nothing that she had done, but rather what I couldn’t give her. Gods, I did love her, but not in the way I should have. I still wasn’t ready to be honest with myself until that point. I had tried to reason that maybe if I tried a little harder, tried to be a little straighter, it would work out. But she didn’t deserve that, she
definitely didn’t deserve that. But I’m glad I still get to call her my friend.

But most recently, a wonderful man has walked into my life. As sappy and sentimental as that sounds. Yes, the mystery man from the photos. He knows who he is. But I would like to say to him...I know I’m a prat, a massive prat for that matter, and I screwed up. But I want to make things right, and I want you to know that I meant every word I said to you. Never doubt that.

And to all of you, the fans, thank you again. Thank you for supporting me, and I hope that I can continue being deserving of it. I’m always in awe when it comes to all of you. So, thank you. And, uh, cheers for the future.

“Merlin?”

“Hi, Arthur.”

“Hi.”

“How are you doing?”

“Oh, uh, I’m fine, thanks. You?”

“I’m well.”

“That’s good…that’s, uh, good.”

“I…I got your message. And well, I saw your video too.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“What did you think?”

“I think that I’m so incredibly astounded by you, Arthur. You’re amazing.”

“Oh, stop it.”

“No, I’m serious.”

“Right.”

“And…well…I forgive you. I-It still hurts a bit, I won’t lie. But I think in some ways I get why you did it, you were scared, and I knew that. But…please don’t shut me out again. I don’t think I could take it.”

“Merlin…I…I won’t. I should’ve just talked to you, but I couldn’t get outside of my own head.”

“I believe you.”

“And, gods, you would have been the best person to talk to.”

“I know.”

“You cheeky little…But, you’re right.”

“Ah well, I usually am, you know.”

“Boy, do I know it.”

“I’m sure.”

“…right, well, have you put any thought into…us?”

“Us?”

Merlin, do you still want there to be—”

“Yes, Arthur. So much.”

“You…do?”

“YES. Now, open the door so I can tell you that I love you to your face.”

A pic of that hickey

the caption can say
‘Property of
Arthur Pendragon.’

Yes?

NO.

Haha, I was kidding.

I can’t believe
I willingly signed
up for this.

I already have
a plan so…

Yup.
