Summary
Suo Gân
Welsh, meaning “lullaby”
suo = lull; cân = songBut this is not my mother.
This looks nothing like my mother.When asked where I am from,
what can I possibly say?
I am you, in part, I suppose
I want to say, but I don't.— Erika L. Sánchez, from Lessons on Expulsion: Poems; “Crossing”
“I have my father's nose and all his rage, but I have my mother's face and her grief. / Rage, I have learned to wear. My mother's grief, however, folds my spine and lives beneath my ribs. It gets heavier and heavier.”
— Fatima Aamer Bilal
Mary now speaks to Christ:
‘Are you my son?—or God?
You are nailed to the cross.
Where lies my homeward road?How can I close my eyes,
uncertain and afraid?
Are you dead?—or alive?
Are you my son?—or God?’Christ speaks to her in turn:
‘Whether dead or alive,
woman, it’s all the same—
son or God, I am thine.’— "Nature Morte.", Joseph Brodsky (tr George L. Kline)

Summary
A smaller thought occurs to him: kiss Edwin. Now that’s much easier for him to sort through; he very much would like to kiss Edwin, again. To dip in and taste what exactly it is he’s left behind.
“Uhhh,” says Crystal, from beside them.
Right, so. Crystal’s here, too.
Or, after kissing—just to break a spell!—Charles and Edwin find themselves physically unable to be apart.

Summary
He’d never been so jealous of Edwin’s fingers before, which felt pathetic to think but pathetic was a little how he felt, staring at Edwin like a daft idiot, wanting to cross the space between them to put his hand on Edwin’s hip, feel the rippling slide of the silver threads against his skin, reel him closer and kiss him until he turned that fetching pink.
Not the thoughts to be having when you and your best mate were rummaging through some lady’s home.
Or in which Charles is the modern equivalent of a victorian man being driven mad by a sliver of skin, Edwin is finally trying new things, and Niko and Crystal are both extremely helpful and unhelpful. There is also a case, though hardly anyone is paying it much mind.

Summary
Eddie shrugs, goes back to chopping cilantro. “I guess I didn’t think you were that serious about moving out right now. I kinda figured you’d just…”“Stay?” Buck says, his voice suddenly so quiet Eddie’s not sure he really heard it at all.
He looks over his shoulder at Buck who has a distant sort of look on his face. “Yeah. I mean. Chris and I make pretty good roommates, don’t we?”
Eddie finds a way to make Buck stay.

Summary
“Edwin? What was that?” Crystal barged into the room, looking sleep-rumpled and grumpy. She frowned at Charles blearily before looking over to Edwin.
“Who’s this guy?” she asked.
Charles felt his whole world caving in.
“My question precisely,” Edwin stated primly. When he turned his gaze on Charles, it was cold and unfamiliar.
“Who are you?”

Charles gets cursed on a case, causing Edwin, Crystal, and everyone he's ever met to lose all memory of him. Only one person, or rather, cat, is immune to the curse's magic, and Charles was really hoping he'd never have to see him again.Bookmarked by EveryHumanBeingIsUnique

Summary
Bobby’s looking at him, eyebrows raised, like he’s saying spit it out, kid, and Eddie breathes out, out, out, and tries not to touch his pocket, where the ring box is settled.
“I don’t know how to do this,” he says through a laugh, a nervous little thing that bubbles out of his throat. He focuses somewhere in between both of their shoulders, too amped up to look at either of them. “I wanted to ask you something. About Buck.”
...or, before Eddie proposes, he goes to Bobby and Athena.

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
He completely pulls the charger from the wall as he fumbles to put in his passcode. He doesn’t know who to call first. Everyone is busy, carrying on with their lives and Buck is stuck here in the loft with the terrifying ghost of his childhood like an omen. Out of the corner of his eye he catches the Crooked Smiled Man now standing in the dark entrance way to his bathroom. He swallows around the taste of blood in his mouth, hands shaking, useless as his list of contacts blur beneath the burn of tears.
Eddie Eddie Eddie
He doesn’t know where the feeling comes from, but it’s sudden and sharp and excruciating. Eddie is the first name at the top of his list, his most recent calls and texts, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit the call button.

Buck swallows.
He needs to be brave. He needs to shut the fuck up. He needs to speak his truth. He needs Eddie to know.
“Eddie,” his voice is hoarse, “I—I need to tell you something.”

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
Someone had been beaten for information. He had been able to hear their pain but could not identify the voice which bore it. Now, he saw his knights, strong, hale men, unbreakable in every way, and he realised the truth of it. These bastards had not wasted their time trying to crack the mask of Camelot. Instead, they had turned their attentions to the one they assumed was the weakest link in the chain.
Merlin.

Summary
Raphael’s trying his best not to be nosy, but his eyes land on Eddie’s screen anyway, and he huffs out a quiet laugh. “My wife sends me stuff like that, too. I don’t know where she finds it.”
“If she’s anything like Buck, she’s got the oddity section on AP News bookmarked.”
Eddie’s card makes a soft little beep as he taps it against the machine, and Raphael smiles at him as he tears the receipt off and hands it over. “How long have y’all been together?”
...or, everyone in El Paso has lost their minds.

Summary
"Night, Buck.” Eddie whispers into the darkness. He listens to Buck’s breathing even out, feels his own eyelids get heavy. And maybe it's the lingering tequila in his blood, or maybe it’s the exhaustion tearing down all his walls of shoulds and shouldn’ts. Either way, he barely even thinks. He just rolls over and drapes a heavy arm across Buck's waist, like it’s muscle memory. The front of his knees press into the back of Buck's, and his nose brushes against the soft skin of his neck. Buck sighs and practically melts in his arms, and before he knows it, Eddie’s falling asleep faster than he has in years.
*
Or, five times Buck and Eddie cuddle drunk and one time they cuddle sober.

Summary
“Okay, Uh—“ he racks his brain for something else Buck has done that he hasn’t. “Never have I ever kissed a man.” Buck doesn't put his finger down, just cocks his head curiously.
“Damn, six months without even a kiss, no wonder Tommy left.” Eddie mutters half under his breath. It causes Buck to snap out of his daze and give him a half-hearted middle finger. He’s still thinking, though, eyebrows scrunched together in that adorable way they used to whenever he tried to help Chris with his elementary school math homework. “What, Buck?”
“Never?” Buck asks.

Summary
'This wouldn't have happened if you'd just done what you were told for once!'
Merlin let out a tiny sigh, as if he was being tiresome. Of course, it wasn't the first time they'd had this particular argument but Arthur hadn't won it yet, so he had no choice but to keep trying.
'I'm the prince; you're my servant. I give orders and you follow them. That's how it works.'
-----
Five times Merlin did as he was told, and one time Arthur obeyed instead.
