    Summary

    Perhaps he could have ignored the glittering motes of magic that danced through the room. He could have blamed this strange place of power for their presence, but he could not deny the truth that made itself plain before him, painted in blue eyes turned to bright, brazen gold.

    Merlin was a sorcerer.

    ---

    When Sir Leon is gravely injured, Arthur, Merlin and the knights seek shelter in an old Sanctuary cave, but the magic within is far from powerless, and the goddess is always watching. Can they overcome their fears and find their way back to freedom, or will they be lost forever in their own enmity?

    Summary

    “My, uh. My dad’s had a heart attack,” he says, sort of like it hasn’t sunk in yet, “He’s still in the hospital, it was. It was pretty bad, I think.”

    “I’m sorry, Buck,” says Chris, “Is he going to be okay?”

    “I don’t know,” says Buck, “She wasn't. It wasn’t clear, it was, she was. She wants me to go.”

    “Do you want to?” Eddie asks, quiet, and Buck’s eyes snap back to him.

    “Eddie,” he says, wretched, “She wants me to help. She wants me. She wants me.”
    ----

    Or, Philip Buckley has a heart attack, and Buck, Eddie, and Chris all fly to Hershey. What else are best friends for?

    But she says, “I can come tonight after the game? If my mom doesn’t make it a whole thing, I don’t know. I think it will be okay?”

    And Eddie says, “I can just check, if you want.”
    **

    Summary

    Margaret says, every inch the interfering grandmother, “Maddie, dear, are you thinking you’ll have another after this little one?”

    "Maybe let her get through this one first,” Buck says.

    Philip says, "We always thought two was the perfect number of children, you know. That way there’s always a parent available to drive each one around."

    And Buck snaps, "Well that worked out for you, didn't it."

    Parents, forgiving but not forgetting, and what it means to earn a second chance.
