    Summary

    “What?” Edgin’s response was snarky, carefree with a hint of annoyance as he ties his last knot of his gift of golden strings to his aging instrument.

    Doric sighs, her attitude shifting, “Ed, he keeps buying you stuff. They’re not even things you can use on quests or something, they’re specifically designed for you. They’re tokens.” Her explanation is slow as if it’s common sense that flew over his head.

    He snorts, testing his lute and tuning it accordingly. “Okay? It’s not a bad thing, they’re great tokens, and it’s even better since he doesn’t expect anything in retuーoh shit.”

    A note came out flat under his fingers.

    Edgin was being courted.

    Fuck.

    Summary

    Ed leaned forward and put his head in his hands. “This is ridiculous. You know that, right?”

    “Eh, I think you’ve done weirder things.”

    “Weirder than marrying a paladin and infiltrating a cult together?”

    Holga shrugged. “You’ve done a lot of weird things. Don’t make me list them all.”

    or: xenk needs edgin's help to take down a cult. absolutely nothing can go wrong. right?

    Summary

    “You know, you could have asked for help."
    “Sad wanking,” said Paddy, “is one of the poets’ long-standing traditions, along with hedonism, asceticism, and dying of consumption.”
    “You’re feeling sad, then?”
    “I said nothing like that. I only said it’s what the poets do– I am only sometimes a poet.”

    (or, what paddy does when it's the zombie apocalypse and augustin is missing.)

    Summary

    Augustin only allows himself a small breakdown, an entire day later, once they are all back in Jalo. He gives up on his restless attempt at sleep and instead slips out of the base, walking far enough into the desert that if he got shot here and now, it would probably take hours for the rest of the SAS to find him.

    And then he screams, and when he keels over in the sand his screaming turns to sobbing.

    When he makes his way back to base, he finds that Paddy Mayne is out as well, one leg crossed under his body and the other bent upwards, looking out at the sky.

    Summary

    “Is it so hard to believe that I assumed at least one of you would take my side? That one of the men I call family would believe in me? That someone would fight for me? Say no, Arthur would never kill Merlin?” His voice began rising, agony taking over his need to shut his body down. “Is it so hard to believe?” he yelled into the otherwise quiet forest. “That I wanted someone to take my side? That someone would love me first?” Arthur tore his gaze away from Leon, “that I wanted one person in this whole fucking kingdom to love me?”

    Or
    Arthur saw Merlin use his magic and has to deal with realizing every one of his most trusted knights -his family- all believed that he would kill Merlin.
