Summary
Arthur looked the most relaxed Merlin had ever seen him; his hair was a golden mop, glistening droplets of water traveling down the planes and angles of his face. Merlin’s eyes followed one, down the side of Arthur’s sculpted nose, reaching his plump lips where Arthur’s tongue darted out to catch it.
Merlin tore his eyes away and let his face break out into a bright grin as he looked into Arthur’s eyes. “You could’ve told me that we were going for a swim; I would’ve complained far less.”
Arthur rolled his eyes slightly. “I was going for a swim,” he replied, “you simply decided to follow me.”

Summary
It's the dead of winter in Camelot, and Arthur has noticed how cold Merlin's been lately. After all, he didn't have many warm clothes. Arthur decided to remedy this, and a slippery slope of gift-giving leads to a tender moment in the snowfall.

Summary
Ygraine liked to talk to Uther, although she knew he could not hear her. She liked to tell him how he had been respected for his justness and loved by his people. How he was careless to let himself fall from that esteem. How he was a cruel and terrible king. How she wished she could switch places with him, leaving her in a position of power and leaving him trapped between the worlds, unable to pass through the veil. How she hated that she was powerless to stop him.
How it was his fault she was stuck here.
--------
Or, Ygraine is a ghost, watching hopelessly as Uther murders magic users in her name.

Summary
“Have I ever been a good manservant?” Merlin asked, because he couldn’t very well say ask me for something else and see what I wouldn’t give to you. It should have been more insulting that this of all things was what finally made Arthur relax.
Merlin confuses a typical favor with one of the gift-giving, courtly variety when Camelot hosts a winter tournament. Arthur tries his hand at courtship.

Summary
“You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”
“My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.
Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.
“You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”
From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

Summary
Geralt is just supposed to pass through the quiet Lettenhove area. He's not anticipating being begged by its people to help save their viscount from a curse that keeps him from daylight. Lord Jaskier, they call him, and he's likely dying.
As Geralt struggles to untangle the ugly web of history that has lead to the increasingly complicated curse, he finds himself spending more and more time with the strange young viscount and wondering just what he might have been before the curse, and who he might be after. But things are not always as they seem, and as the curse tightens its grip on Jaskier, Geralt is forced to face the fear of failing yet another person whose choices were stolen from them.
Or-
Jaskier is kept from becoming a bard. Geralt finds him anyway.

Summary
Refusing to accept Geralt's death, Jaskier jumps at the chance to fix it, even though it means trapping himself in a time loop. There are warnings, of course. Events happen as they happen. Time tends to resist alteration in the places where it matters. He will be trapped until he accepts the outcome. Jaskier ignores them all and pits his resolve against destiny itself, convinced his refusal to give up on Geralt will be enough.
It isn’t. Jaskier fails over and over and over again, destiny course correcting every single time. Determination isn't enough to change events, he comes to find.
But maybe love is enough to bend the details.
