Bradley James/Colin Morgan is the main Merlin RPF pairing and in a way the RPS mirror of the Merlin/Arthur slash pairing in Merlin fandom. This pairing is about the fictional homoerotic relationship between the actors Bradley James and Colin Morgan. In series two there was a rise of Bradley/Colin stories, some of it in response to developments in the first few episodes of the second series that made some Merlin/Arthur fans unhappy about the state of the friendship between Merlin and Arthur. Focusing on Bradley and Colin (with their epic roadtrip of epicness *g*) was a fun way to deal with this.
