time for a thread of the most cute and heartbreaking couple ever, that i've loved for 10 years now and deserved so much better. this is for freylin

this is where it all started and ofc merlin went back to free freya, because he is a good bean and stands for what's right

freya is so scared, but merlin provided her with light and gave her his jacket to keep her warm and promised he will be back in the morning and that's enough for now. also, his smile, imagine me not crying from the cuteness

speaking of light; merlin showing freya that magic isn't something to be scared of, it can be beautiful and good, like freya herself

this is the first person merlin can truly be himself with in a different way than he ever was before, because as a druid she understands him

too innocent for my cynical old heart

maybe i'm compromised and decided to love you forever

freya was feeling down, so merlin told her she could have anything she wanted and she asked for strawberries, but merlin, the flirt, made her a flower instead on accident. but hey, it's the right colour! and it cheered both freya and merlin up. literal babies, look at them

after getting scared by the people looking to capture freya again, merlin promises he will protect and take care of freya, tells her she doesn't realise how special she is and they share their first kiss. merlin literally sheds a tear, talk about anything more precious

they deserve the world!

merlin proposes they leave Camelot together, to find a better life in a place that combines both of their favourite things from their home towns that they had earlier bonded over. i wish I could protect their dreams of freedom and love look how happy they make each other

cutie pies in love

freya even let's merlin come close and pet her bastet form, because she feels safe with him and would never hurt him in any way, shape or form. i love love.

and after that, here's how things went in my head, because you're crazy if you think I'm going to relive the episode after the previous scene of this thread. here comes my sappy ending
