Summary
In another life, Arthur might’ve hesitated. In another life, the fear—actual, real fear—in the eyes of the man who he has once considered his father might’ve stalled his hand. But where his mother’s pleas to not let this knowledge change him might’ve made him hesitate, the sheer betrayal burning in Merlin’s eyes after Arthur was forced to reveal his secrets wrenches any hesitation right out of him.
After Arthur found out about Merlin's magic, things are still tense between them. It's the worst possible time for the Witchfinder to arrive at court, but for all his worries, Arthur still could've never foreseen just how horribly it would go. He could've never foreseen all the things it would set in motion, and while there's the silver lining of how it brings him and Morgana closer, the chances of ever overcoming his guilt, of ever salvaging his and Merlin's relationship, seem almost non-existent. Almost.

Summary
As the Second Titanomachy came to a close, the Olympians intervened, preserving the last life the war tried to claim - Luke Castellan lived. They healed him, reversed him, back to that last pivotal moment, before he committed the crimes that started this whole mess. His soul needed longer to heal from his ordeal. But eventually, he awoke, not quite a clean-slate, only a second chance. The few people who still loved him rejoiced. He rejoined the family he'd fractured, integrated into their new clan. The gods knew he could be entrusted to the care of these heroes. And it did seem he learned his lesson, even if he didn't remember doing so.
The only problem? Luke did remember it all. And this time, he understood where he went wrong before. This time, there was no Titan master in his head. He only needed to bide his time long enough for his new plan to work.
He was going to win this time. Because this time, Luke knew the key to victory. All he needed was their precious, golden hero at his side - all he needed was Percy Jackson.

Summary
Matt's got this way of speaking in Spanish that's just a little different than his way of speaking in English. In English, all of Matt's words are carefully weighed and measured and cut like crystal. They're precious but planned. With Spanish, the words seem to fall like drops of liquid gold, hot and rich and wild, and it makes Foggy want to gather them to himself and finally be warm.
