In fanfiction, how would Merlin and Arthur's relationship change after killing Uthur?

In some fanfictions, Uthur might be on the verge of starting a war that Camelot cannot win. His pride and stubbornness won't let him back down. Merlin and Arthur, who both love Camelot deeply, see no other option but to kill Uthur to prevent the war. They know it will be a huge sacrifice but believe it's for the greater good of the kingdom.

Their relationship might become more equal in the Hogwarts setting. In Camelot, Arthur was the king and Merlin his servant, but at Hogwarts, they'd both be students. So, they'd have to rely on each other more as equals.

It would become much more complex. They might start off being confused and a bit awkward around each other. But then, as they start to explore their feelings, they could become closer in a more intimate way. Their friendship would be transformed into something deeper, with a new level of understanding and trust.

Merlin might become even more protective of Arthur. Since Gwen is carrying Arthur's child, Merlin would see it as his duty to safeguard the future of Camelot. He could be more involved in Arthur's personal affairs, which might initially annoy Arthur but eventually he'd come to appreciate Merlin's concern.

It could change in several ways. If Merlin's twin sister is also part of Arthur's court, Arthur might be more protective of both of them, seeing them as a pair. Or, he could be more suspicious of Merlin if his sister has a different approach to magic. Maybe she's more open about it, which makes Arthur question Merlin's secrecy.

If Arthur travels back in time and sees Merlin as a young boy, he might develop a more protective feeling towards him. He'd understand Merlin's journey better and their relationship would shift from just king - and - servant to something more like an older brother - younger brother dynamic. On the other hand, if Merlin takes Arthur to the future and shows him a world without Camelot, Arthur might feel a sense of loss and rely on Merlin even more for emotional support.

Their marriage would likely cause a stir. Some nobles might see it as a threat to the traditional order. But it could also lead to a more inclusive Camelot. If they are united, they could implement new policies that are more accepting of different people. For example, magic users might be treated better with Merlin having a say in the court.

Their relationship would become more intertwined with their daily lives. They would have to make decisions together, like where to live. Maybe they would choose a place that is in between their two magical worlds. Also, they would start to think about the future in a more long - term way, such as planning to have children and how to raise them with both of their magical heritages.

It would likely become very strained. Arthur has been brought up to uphold his father's anti - magic stance. So, when Uther discovers Merlin's magic, Arthur might initially feel betrayed and distance himself from Merlin.

Merlin would likely be seen as a bit of an enigma at Hogwarts. His magic is different from the norm, so he might be a bit of an outsider at first. But his kind heart and loyalty would soon win over his classmates. Arthur would be the brave and headstrong character, perhaps a bit like a Gryffindor version of his usual self. He'd be eager to learn about combat magic and would probably be a natural leader in group projects or Quidditch teams.
