Summary
Daeho and Subong finally leave. They're love grows, they find comfort in one another, and it's quiet as they face the world after the games together. There's a promise that this will last, even beyond tonight.
He swallows thickly, his lips twisting into a mock of a smile before attempting a lighthearted joke. “I can’t just—start living with you.” He coughs through a forced laugh. Subong’s expression doesn’t shift. He holds his gaze, steady.
“You can if you want to.”

Summary
Daeho and Subong have a domestic date at a winter festival. Daeho gets drunk, and cold, and needy, and Subong is just so warm and caring.
It was becoming more and more obvious that Daeho, when drunk, was not quite himself. He was all heat and desperation, a needy, eager thing pressing into Subong’s lap, whispering filth against his skin, all but offering himself up without hesitation.
Very indulgent.

Summary
After the heated morning, Daeho and Subong must play the third game, Mingle, where they find themselves leaning on one another more than they thought they would. Then they must come to terms with what they mean to one another before the final vote ensues.
Daeho doesn't know if it's in his head, but he feels as if the platform spins faster than before. His stomach churns with the motion. His grip tightens, and without hesitation, Subong steadies him, his large hand firm against Daeho’s back, keeping him grounded.

Summary
They fell in love during the games, escaped, and now they're together, living in their own little apartment. Things are great until Subong turns back to old habits, hurting himself and the only other person he loves.
One day he comes home, and loses himself.
This isn't how Subong looks at him, not when he’s touching him, not when they’re doing this. Subong has always been so gentle, so soft and caring. Slow, Daeho has only ever known Subong to be slow.
“You aren't yourself—”
Subong doesn't see Daeho, doesn’t hear him, doesn’t waste a second in coming in again, this time for Daeho’s lips.

Summary
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

Summary
As Arthur dies in Merlin's arms at Camllan he confessed the love he's held close to his heart all this time. In his shock Merlin doesn't say it back, until it's too late. His grief shakes the earth, claws the sky, and tears reality asunder. For the first time in his life he holds nothing back and in his soul he has one desire. A second chance.
His magic complies.

Summary
When Uther banishes Arthur from Camelot, Arthur is certain it's the end of him and everything he had to offer to the world.
Enter Merlin and the ragtag group of misfits he and Arthur collect on an adventure that takes them across the entire kingdom. Grappling with who he is now and who he will become, Arthur embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, fate, and what it truly means to be a king of prophecy.
“Merlin??”
Merlin drops the reins and spins around, “Arthur!”
Merlin beams. Arthur’s eye twitches.
“What, exactly, are you doing here?”
Merlin makes a face, “What does it look like? I stole some horses.” His lip quirks up, “And some of cook’s pies. But that was just because she’s been such a harpy all this time and she deserved it.”
