Summary
The thing is, Linus wished that DICOMY, the department he had worked for 17 years, would have at least warned him. Sent him a letter. Called, or sent a small telegram.
Instead, Linus found out in the worst way.

Or, how the one visit of Charles Werner to Marsyas island shakes Linus’ certainties. -

Summary
It’s rainy day at camp.
When it rains, Apollo kids tend to get all gloom and doom. Camp activities are off-limits, so they can’t sing at the campfire or practice singing and archery in their cabin without losing eardrums or an eye respectively. They also tend to get sleepy, as the sun can actually be a sort of battery for them. They just feel off and can stay in bed the whole day whining and pouting, looking forward to the day to end soon.
But not Will.

Or how Will finds out something about Nico, and Nico finds out something about Will. On a rainy day. -

Summary
As soon as Will got up from the table, he knew he was in trouble.
Actually, he knew from the moment Nico had scowled at him so hard he thought he would have quivered like the poor apple left on Mr. D's table. So when his boyfriend sprinted forward with quick steps from the dining hall, leaving Will behind, he already knew what was coming.
He was gonna face angry Nico.
It wasn’t the first time.
Will and Nico on their quest to catch a slimy lizard for the troglodytes. Featuring angry scowls, a glow-in-the-dark boyfriend, petty banter, and discussions on Tartarus.

Summary
“I’m the king,” Arthur says grumpily, swallowing around the stone that has settled in his throat, “I can wear what I want.”
“What about what I want?”
“I’m the king,” Arthur repeats slowly, since Merlin is being particularly thick, “and so you can also wear what I want.”
Or, Arthur dresses Merlin, which goes about as well as you would expect.

Summary
Merlin’s days and evenings blur together into one long, overheated, mess. He is tired.
Which is why it is perfectly understandable that he got confused.

Summary
"The spell forces honesty out of the afflicted target," Edwin says promptly. "I seem to be compelled to answer any question, as well as unable to lie when answering."
There's a brief silence while everyone takes that in - including Edwin, who immediately looks down at the floor, lips pressed tightly together.
"So this is your actual nightmare," Crystal deadpans. "Great."
After their near-miss in the Tall Forest, Charles feels that he and Edwin are finally getting back to normal - until the Cat King's meddling shows him just how much his best mate has been keeping from him. With the cat's magic forcing Edwin to tell the truth, Charles must help him navigate not only troubling questions and unwilling answers, but their own partnership and the secrets between them that threaten to change everything.

Summary
“That about did it,” Edwin says, patting himself down and straightening his bowtie. “Now, if you’re ready, I suggest we find a mirror and-“
“Did you just cough up a flower?” Charles interrupts. Flower, perhaps, is a slight exaggeration. It’s more like a petal, red and incredibly out of place here on the shore.
Edwin clears his throat, but this time no petals follow. “Certainly it’s nothing to worry about.”
Or: Edwin is suffering from a weird curse, but for some reason, he's refusing Charles' help. Charles is trying his best to fix it anyway, but Edwin is being oddly secretive about the whole thing.
