Summary
When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.
Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."
He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?

Summary
“Also, I’m sorry about messing up your lie about the painting. Mike thanked me for it, and I gave it away because I was clueless about it. I would have tried to keep it up if I knew.”
There’s a sudden ringing in Will’s ears before everything seems to get too loud and too quiet at the same time. The A/C’s soft hum has become an absolutely deafening thrumming in his brain, but so has the silence that engulfs him. Will’s knees are on the verge of giving up on him and he worries he might topple over, but he’s also too stiff to even move.
Will is still trying to catch his breath but needs to be sure. He needs to be sure he’s hearing this right.
“El. El, what do you mean—,” he slowly blinks and tries to breathe but still struggles, “What do you mean,” he swallows, “you messed up my lie about the painting?”

the painting lie is no longer a secret and Will has to navigate his escape from Mike

Summary
-------<3
“I told Arthur I had magic.” He states. He looks down. Not shameful, but as a shell of the man he once was. “And told him to kill me.” Merlin choked out, beginning to notice the tears filling his eyes and throat.
----<3
“One more step and your friend is dead! Drop your sword!” Arthur nodded, “Okay, okay.” he agreed. Sword falling to the floor. Merlin’s brows furrowed. What the hell was Arthur doing? He shook his head in the man’s grasp.
Arthur didn’t bring any other weapons with him today. Merlin hunched his shoulders, hating the feeling of the man touching him. “You tryna die? Stop squirming! Or would you like to say some last words to your mate?”
Merlin gasped for air as the man’s hand left his face. “Let him kill me!” he screamed.
“Are you insane?!”
-----------<3
Gaius and Merlin talk about what happened while he was out of town. How he begged Arthur to kill him.
Bandits attack, ruining any sense of peace.
Merlin stays clumsy.
He falls asleep in Arthur's arms after crying.------<3

Summary
After centuries of waiting for Arthur’s return, and the ancient king showing no sign of resurrecting anytime soon, Merlin decides to turn himself into a stone statue and wait out the remaining years in a semi-conscious state. He places a charm upon himself, making it so that he will change back once Arthur returns and finds him. A plaque on the statue’s plinth reads as much: “Whoever holds dominion over this soul of stone / Need only touch it to turn it to flesh and bone.” It becomes something of a must-try in the city, and despite thousands of people interacting with the statue every year, no one succeeds in turning him back into a human. That is, until one day…

Summary
He whipped his head back to Merlin so fast his neck burned, watching as the boy’s eyes faded from shimmering gold, one hand extended in the air.
The world seemed to slow, shock and anger reverberating through Arthur’s core. He could do nothing but stare, and Merlin stared back, fear, guilt, and something unreadable in his expression.
Then, there was a whizzing cut through the air, one that left Arthur’s ears ringing. He watched – helpless, the anger punched out of him – as the arrow buried itself in Merlin’s side.
