Arthur: Father I think Merlin has magic-
Uther: Yes
Arthur: Wh- you knew?
Uther: Shut up he's useful for weeding out the guilty ones
Arthurf. ... is that why's he's locked in the dungeons every day-
Uther: shut UP

HAHAHA WAIT this is GREAT!

This is fun, there should be more stories like this. it's great!

It was too Hilarious in so many way! XD
I laughed with tears! Lmao
I don't know if I should say "Poor Uther" or "Oh, Uther" or "HAH-!"lol.
Merlin probably thought it became a habit now... A routine. Lol

I laughed really hard, right from the start (the "therefore evil, therefore sorcerer" line did me in). I also loved the 'it's like a fish trying to fell a tree' line - great mental image. Thank you for this delightfully quirky little fic. :)

I wonder if all the guards know or if they think it's a really weird game where Merlin is thrown in jail and Uther secretly breaks him out

I don't think I can be convinced that this wouldn't have happened

I LOVED THIS SOOOO MUCH! I’ve always wanted a kinda crack fic about Merlin and Uther and this was perfect! I was giggling to my self the entire time. Perfection! ;D

This is so funny!

yo I loved this take on uther. gah, it makes me want more since these types of complex relationships are my favorite. kudos to u bro!

It would be really neat to see the other sides to this story, lol! Perspectives of Merlin, of the guards that have to keep arresting Merlin, of Arthur or Gaius...

Kind of a lighthearted take on Uther, but I like it.

This was funny and I loved it! I feel like when Merlin returns to Gaius's after being put in the dungeons, Gaius asks where he was and Merlin's just shrugs and is casually like, 'Oh Uther put me in the dungeons again'.

This story had me giggling like a mad man. It was lovely.

It's good. This is good :) And a brilliant idea!

this is? oddly heartwarming? I’m kind of at a loss for words about how much I love this, uther’s reactions, merlin’s causal acceptance that uther the god damn mastermind behind the purge knows and yet? I’m shook
