Summary
“Part of him wants to snap and bite and lash out, give Wukong what he wants or drive him out. But awful whispers flit at the back of his mind, tempting him. In for a penny, he thinks, wondering how much bad revealing another chink in his armor could do.
The answer is a lot, but he’d rather not entertain it.
It turns out, he doesn’t have to, because the choice is ripped away from him. By virtue of his gold vision, or maybe just that he’s shockingly perceptive when he needs to be, Wukong has him figured in an embarrassingly short time. He blinks his eyes back fully open, a twist of a frown just touching his lips. ‘When’s the last time you slept?’”
Or
Macaque can’t sleep and Wukong pays him an inopportune visit.

Summary
“Please, no,” Merlin begged. His ankle burned like a torch set against his bones, a hot poker in his marrow, like the pyre licking from his feet up to his heart. Instead, he dragged his lower body across the ground, scrabbling with his bare hands, crawling. “Please, Arthur, I didn’t do it to hurt you. I couldn’t tell you—I’m scared. Please, don’t! I never meant, oh goddess, I never meant to—”

Summary
Of all the ways Arthur and the knights could've found out about his magic, Merlin hadn't thought it'd be due to a sparrow. There will be a happy ending, but it's gonna take a while.
"Arthur was terrified when he saw Merlin make up his mind to jump. He put on a burst of speed, willing his body to give everything he had so he could just-reach out and….He crashed at full speed into the warlock, knocking them both out of breath, but most importantly, far away from the edge of the ravine. Merlin fought him, kicking and clawing for escape, but it was clear that whatever had fueled him for so long was gone, and eventually the kicking and punching and shouting was gone, and Merlin wept in Arthur’s arms, trembling hard.
“Sorry, so sorry, so so sorry. ‘M so sorry, Arthur,” he sobbed desperately, and Arthur held him close, heart racing and eyes wet. “I’m so sorry, please don’t burn me. I’m so sorry. I didn’ mean to, I was born with it.” Merlin cried, and Arthur shushed him gently."
A huge thanks to the remarkable artists who have been generous enough to bless me with their work. xoxo
