    Summary

    "We will have to be united in secrecy. There will be no more lies between us, Merlin."

    In the aftermath of battle, Kanen takes a few more moments to aim his crossbow. It's Merlin, not Will, who takes the hit for Arthur - but not before confessing he used magic to save Ealdor.

    When all is said and done, Arthur, Gwen, and Morgana know Merlin’s secret - a change to destiny that has more repercussions than meets the eye.

    -

    Summary

    “Please,” he whispers, hoping the eel can’t hear him, “please, I want to live. I just want to live, I don’t want to die. Please don’t let me die.”

    The turning of a new eye upon him feels as if he’s been scrubbed raw suddenly, the truth of him pulled from the dark places he’d made to hide it away as something answers him.

    “What would you do if you were to live, little star?”

    OR

    Simon is rescued at the last minute by *something* and dropped onboard the Hail Mary at quite possibly the worst time. Ryland Grace is fresh off a horrible fishing trip and his best friend is comatose. As the most injured and broken versions of themselves, they meet.

    Summary

    At first, there was nothing but static. For a few seconds, which might've been the longest seconds Grace had ever experienced, there was no comprehensible sound outside of the fuzzy feedback of an unstable connection. Grace furrowed his brow, trying desperately to make out something, anything at all.

    Little by little, the signal cleared up enough to where he could just start to make out the sound of something...?

    No.

    Someone... Singing?

    His heart rattled in his chest as the singing continued, suddenly keenly aware that he probably needed to say something. It'd been so, so long-

    "Uh- Hello?"

    Almost immediately, the singing stopped. Grace found himself missing it. Just a little bit. He stood with bated breath, hoping, praying that he hadn't scared the voice off. A clatter of something falling on the ground, heavy, clumsy thuds that sounded like heavy boots hitting metal, static...

    Grace tried again. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

    Then, clear as day,

    'Hello...? Are.. who... who are you?'

    Summary

    "Whoaaaa" Grace couldn't help but rush out, like a little kid seeing the museum for the first time. Endless fascination for everything he didn't understand as it was demonstrated right before his eyes.

     

    Also like a little kid, Grace got antsy after the first few seconds.

     

    "How long is this supposed to take?" Grace ignored how whiney he sounded as he asked. It didn't stop him from tacking on a childish; "Ugh!"

     

    "Collector should be here soon," Rocky responded at the same time the impact of the collector's collision with the winch forced another sound out of Grace.

     

    "Got it, its here!" Grace cheered, and he moved towards the winch now that the xenonite chain was no longer moving at approximately three times the speed of sound.

     

    "Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!"

     

    Something else hit the ship.

     

    — or; a story in which the light Simon dies for is the same one guiding the Hail Mary as she goes fishing
