    Summary

    Dean drains his bottle of beer, sets it on the table and gets up, heading for the kitchen. Maybe to fetch another, maybe to leave. But Castiel doesn’t want him to go, doesn’t want to leave this conversation unfinished; he remembers his regret of just a few hours ago, that Dean had never known how he loved him.

    “Wait,” he says and gets to his feet as Dean passes by. They’re standing close – close enough that Castiel can feel the heat of Dean’s body, the vibrancy of his soul brushing against his grace. “Dean, I have to tell you something...”

    Set after the S11 finale.

    Summary

    “Merlin. Even if you’re … even if you’re right, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. He’s going to kill me. And I—listen to me, you idiot. I don’t want you to watch. And I don’t want you to be next.”

    or

    After confronting Morgause's vision of his mother, Arthur rides for Camelot, intending to make his father pay for his hypocrisy. He falls short of luck, for the King has fallen back on the counsel of his faithful Witchfinder, Aredian, who is convinced that Arthur is not Arthur, the crown prince, but a changeling, bound to Morgause's will and let loose upon Camelot to usurp Uther of his crown.

    As Arthur is dragged away to the dungeons, sentenced to a death by fire, Merlin must race against time to change the course of events which seem to spell out Arthur's demise. Time is scarce, however, and for all intents and purposes, it might be too late already.

    Summary

    “I think,” Cas grits out, “that the spell requires me to say the truth. I’ve been trying to suppress it with my grace, but it’s… not working.”
    “Got it,” Dean says, nodding, because he can work with this. “Yeah. Sure. So give me some truths. Some stupid little ones.”
    Cas narrows his eyes. “Such as?”
    “Like, I dunno, what’s your favorite color?”
    Cas’s face somehow goes stonier. “Green,” he ekes out.
    Dean clears his throat. Blinks a few times. “Oh.”

    “I am your Arthur, am I not?” Arthur pleaded frantically, not above begging anymore. As prince, as king, there was not a day when people didn't remind him that he was Camelot's. But as a man? As Arthur?

    He was always and forever Merlin's.

    “Show me that my choices matter, Merlin. Show me that they are worth anything to you.”

    Π∆

    After Merlin heals Arthur from Camlann's wound, they return to Camelot for their golden age, thinking it was all over now. However, the moment Merlin wakes up, he finds Arthur cold from a lifetime of betrayal, and the pain in Merlin's heart grows until it couldn't anymore.

    Featuring; protective knights, BAMF Merlin, and a secret that only Arthur Pendragon can know.
