Summary
Between the Cailleach—who watched him silently—and the swirling darkness of the rend in the fabric of the world, sat a squat circle of stones, built up into a small wall. A well. Either Merlin had not noticed it before or, more likely, it had materialised before him without his notice. He could feel how alive this place was with magic, though none of it felt quite right at the gateway that should never have been. The hairs on the back of his neck raised, as if something had breathed down it, and Merlin shivered.
It was now or never.
Merlin perched himself on the edge of the wall, swinging his legs round until they dangled into nothingness. With one final glance at the men who still argued, each one of them dear to him, he caught Arthur’s eyes at last. Merlin’s heart sank in his chest, as he watched Arthur’s jaw drop.
Merlin does what he must to pay the Cailleach's toll. Arthur is with him, even at the bottom of a well.

Summary
Gwaine rolled over, looking at Percival in profile in the dim moonlight. "What he needs is a good shag, but I can't give him that," he said with a smirk, prodding Percival in the side, gentle and affectionate.
"Why not?" Percival hummed, smiling.
"What?"
"Why couldn't you give him that?"
Merlin is struggling. Gwaine has ideas. Percival is more than happy to go along with them both.

Summary
Heading through to the kitchen, Merlin went to flick the kettle on, stopped by the note propped up against it. ‘Bedroom ;) xxx’ it read in a familiar, untidy scrawl—although the author had evidently tried his best to print it slightly more neatly than usual. Merlin shook his head at the hand-drawn winky face, before actually taking in what the note said. He took the stairs two at a time, crashing into his childhood bedroom, stopping dead a step inside the doorway.
Gwaine surprises Merlin with an early Christmas gift.

"Gwaine..."
"Mm?"
"Tell me this isn't just some Christmas spirit thing you're doing to make yourself feel better."
"I'm not festive enough to do much of anything in the name of Christmas spirit. Especially not setting an alarm at 6am when I don't have to.
Paramedic Gwaine takes a leap of faith.

Summary
“Merlin. I need your help.”
“You often do. Do work hours mean nothing any more?” Merlin tutted, already glancing around for his coat, flung somewhere when he got in earlier. “Unless this is a personal call?”
“Call it whatever you like. Taxi is on the way.”
Arthur can always count on Merlin, but it isn't as if there's nothing in it for him.

Summary
“You loved him.”
It isn’t a question, nor a judgement. Leon, voice familiar and ever calm, simply states it like the fact it is. Merlin works his throat, isn’t sure he could speak around the lump in it even if his voice were not hoarse from long weeks of his self-imposed silent vigil. Instead he nods. He doesn’t have the strength to deny it in the wake of so much raw grief and crushed hope. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Leon nod too.
Merlin doesn’t know how much time passes before either of them speak again but it is long enough that Leon, without magic to sustain him, begins to shiver. Merlin opens his mouth to speak and finds that he cannot make words come. He clears his throat to try again, to tell Leon to leave this place before he catches his death, but he is interrupted as the knight commander speaks once more.
“I did, too.”

Summary
Arthur barely registers the bullet through his knee. It's the second bullet that does it: hits him square in the chest, takes him clean off his feet.

Summary
Leon braces a hand above her shoulder, trapping her between his chest and the door to her chambers. “None of the other men you have been betrothed to have been me.”
“You do think so highly of yourself, Sir,” Mithian quips, though her breath catches in her throat as he leans down towards her, further pressing into her space.
“Only because I’ve received no complains, Highness.” His lips draw the words atop the fluttering pulse behind her ear before Leon sets his lips upon her skin at last, dragging them down the curve of her neck and across the top of her exposed shoulder. She does not moan, doesn’t make a single sound, if only because there is no air left in her lungs, her body frozen between each press of his lips upon her.
. .
Or: Arthur plays matchmaker and it’s absolutely the worst idea anyone has ever heard of…right?
