What if…

When Merlin and Arthur Met, the Merlin Characters Quoted and Acted like Sherlock Characters?!

In which Merlin himself may just be a bit of a prat and deduces the Once and Future King, Gwen quotes John and Arthur quotes Moriarty!

A/N: Hi! So, for this story I'm thinking I'll take scenes from different shows and books, and just make the characters quote and imitate characters from other shows and books to see what happens. Some other things I may incoorporate into this later are Psych, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Warrior Cats... Basically anything mentioned on my profile and more! If you have a suggestion, comment in your review, and if I know the book/show/movie/etc. you are referring to, I'll try to make something work! You don't have to read chapters if you don't know the shows, just skip any you want to and wait for the next one. Most chapters won't be affected by the others. Enjoy! Please tell me what you think!

Merlin rolled his eyes as he approached a group of reckless boys about his own age clustered around one arrogant-looking blond who was using a terrified servant for target practice.

"People have died," he pointed out, darkly, walking up to the blond with no proper greeting whatsoever.

"That's what people DO!" the blond snorted, to the obnoxious laughter of his friends.

"I will stop you." Merlin responded, not at all amused as he looked with pity at the cowering servant.

"No you won't," the blond growled.

Merlin raised an eyebrow in irritation. "Oh really? Is that right, Prince Arthur?"

Arthur looked shocked and the people behind him gasped. "Sorry? How did you-"

"The way you are acting shows a total disregard for the law. Therefore, you clearly find yourself to be above it. However, it's not a disregard for yourself; you are far too arrogant for that. You're obviously royalty. Not the king, though. I saw him earlier. You bear an obvious resemblance to him. So, you're his son. That makes you a prince. I heard the mother of that executed sorcerer earlier speaking of Uther's son, after all. I know your name is Arthur from having overheard conversations around me. It's a rather simple deduction. Obviously." Then suddenly, he looked up at one of Arthur's friends. "Shut up!"

"I didn't say anything!" the man protested.

"You were thinking," Merlin growled, disgusted, "It's annoying."

The man frowned and looked away, dejectedly.

A pretty dark-skinned peasant girl who stood nearby looked shocked. "That," she gasped, "Was amazing!"

Merlin now looked as surprised as she did. "Do you think so?"

"Of course it was! Extraordinary. It was quite extraordinary!" she enthused.

"That's not what people normally say," Merlin admitted, quietly.

"What do people normally say?" she asked.

"Piss off!" Arthur cut Merlin off, laughing.

Merlin rolled his eyes. "Yes, thank you for your input." He turned away.

"Don't mind him…" the girl sighed, "I'm Gwen. You're new, right?"

Merlin nodded, hesitantly.

"Nice to meet you then. You should come over some time. I live right over there," she explained, gesturing towards a small nearby hut, "You?"

Merlin smirked. "The name's Merlin and the address is Gaius' chambers in the castle." He was pleasantly surprised that at least someone in Camelot wasn't a total idiot.

"Psychopath," Arthur muttered jealously under his breath, glaring at Merlin.

"I'm not a psychopath," Merlin protested indignantly, "I'm a high-functioning sociopath! Do your research!"

Arthur just stared at him. Who was this guy?!

"There's something about you, Merlin. Can't quite put my finger on it," he muttered quietly.

Merlin rolled his eyes. "Dear god!" he cried, "What is it like in your funny little brains? It must be so boring!" and with that he turned and left.

April Fools! I own none of the shows/books etc in this fic, or their associated quotes, characters, or plots. Just my own insanity! I am only a fangirl. Otherwise I'd just make a real crossover!
