    Summary

    Merlin can no longer lie to Arthur about his magic and decides to finally tell him the truth. All Arthur sees are gold eyes and evil intentions. He’s desperate to save his lover before the corruption fully takes over and tries to find a way to purge this sickness from Merlin’s body before it’s too late.

    My realistic take on Merlin revealing his magic to Arthur.

    Summary

    "One more word out of you, and I swear to God I will send you into exile."
    He knows it’s not the pyre, knows there’s much worse, but banishment would mean staying away from Arthur forever – and, as pathetic as that might sound, he thinks he would rather die than let that happen. It is clear that the feeling is not reciprocated, clear that in Arthur’s eyes, he will never come first. There’ll always be people coming before him, and he’s made peace with that long ago – but if even Agravaine can come before him, then anyone could, no? Anyone could replace him. Call Merlin a traitor and have Arthur get rid of him. Anyone could.

    Merlin no longer feels safe in Camelot.

     

    or:
    Arthur threatens Merlin of banishment.
    To Arthur's eyes, it's all forgotten.
    To Merlin's, however...
    Well, let's just say that his faith in their mutual destiny, once unwavering, finds itself faltering at a dangerously quick rate.

    Summary

    It’s Christmas Eve in the drunk tank…
    ~

    Ghost receives a late night call from Manchester Police, asking for him to please retrieve his unruly husband from the station immediately.

    He wasn't married as far as he was aware, but Ghost is more than happy to play along in order to meet his mysterious and devious little husband.

    Summary

    “How many people do I have to kill, Johnny?” he asks, begs without begging. Soap’s lips twitch, like the whole damn thing’s funny. It’s hysterical, it really is, in that manic and insane kind of way. That Ghost can sneak to his room in the dead of night and feed him the flesh of something that mere hours ago laughed and drank and joked with their friends, and still be afraid to do more than put his hands on Soap’s throat. “How many until you let me have you?”

    Soap blinks up at him, radiant in the low light. Half-shadow and half-man, he’s everything Ghost would have died for when he had the chance. Now he has no choice but to live for it.
