Summary
Merlin comes to Longstead. He is a physician (sort of), a magician (not out loud), a wanderer. What brings him to that particular village at that particular time, is none of these things. He has a task to fulfill, and it's not his destiny. His destiny is not his business.
He’s stretched out on a bank of grass, out beyond the village wall.
Merlin is looking for plants that can be both magical and quiescent, he can make something innocuous seeming, betulia, belladonna. With the right spell, he can prolong the lives of the men and women laid out in village behind him. He will keep to himself just how close to the brink many of the villagers are. He can feel it, the edge of something encroaching, something ending, the smell of flesh.

Summary
It’s a daily battle, reigning in his magic.
But there is something wrong with his magic and there is something wrong with Merlin.
As Merlin finishes working the buckles on Arthur’s armor, he feels a creaking in his bones.
The moment Balinor’s pulse finally stilled on the forest floor, Merlin’s magic changed. No longer is his magic a flower waiting to bloom in his cupped palms, it’s an animal backed into a corner waiting to sink its teeth into the ones who put it there. The mutt at his feet has lost its patience.
There’s a flint being struck under his skin, generating sparks, seeking dry brush to ignite and swallow in flame.
Merlin is terrified.
He isn’t a seer, never mastered the art of scrying, but even he knows something is looming over the horizon.
or Merlin’s Dragonlord powers let him shift into a dragon, things go to shit, and then there are more dragons.

Summary
So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.
Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.
Or
Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.
Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.
