Summary
This so-called ‘coffee’ had made quite the stir at first, word had spread quickly amongst the citizens of Camelot about the marvellous effects it produced when consumed as a drink… that was, until rumours began to circulate that the beans were magic in origin.
After that, the poor coffee trader had found himself arrested, stripped of his wares and confined to the dungeon.
“I don’t see why this bean must necessarily be magic,” Gaius said, “the problem is finding proof.”
Proof. It was always a problem of proof.
With a man’s life at risk, Merlin sets out to find out more about the strange beans with seemingly magical properties.

Summary
“I have seen you in all your lifetimes Simon, and every time I dread it. I dread crossing paths with you knowing that I will fall in love with you over and over and over and over — endlessly, irrevocably, infinitely — knowing that you won’t stay forever. I know that you will die, over and over and over again. It’s an inevitability — a curse — and it kills me every single time…”
“I have waited for you in all my lifetimes Wilhelm, and every time it excites me. It excites me to know that I will cross paths with you and that we will fall in love over and over and over again — endlessly, irrevocably, infinitely. And though I must pass from this life a hundred, a thousand times over, I think of it as a blessing knowing that when I do return, you will be here… waiting for me.”
“This is not ‘farewell’; it is ‘see you again.’ Wait for me Wilhelm, I will return to you.”

Summary
“I gave you a spell of protection,” she said. “I bound your secret, so that you will always be kept from harm.”
Merlin stared at her. A knot formed in his stomach, something like dread coiling deep in his gut. “Bound… my secret,” he repeated, trying to keep it from being a question. “You mean… I can’t tell—”
“Anyone,” she said gently.
OR
An intended blessing turns out to be more of a curse.
