Summary
The boy who comes to the door is indeed pretty — and he is indeed a boy. Lashes too long, cheekbones too defined, the kind of fragile beauty that looks one bad night away from breaking. He’s not at all what Castiel had been expecting when that sleazeball, Alastair, had informed him that he’d taken the liberty of arranging for ‘company’ for Castiel for the evening — not even close.
Castiel has built his life on control, on leverage, on negotiation. He makes choices with his eyes open and outcomes already accounted for. He understands power, and he knows how to use it.
What he doesn’t plan for is Dean Winchester, whose work blurs the line between survival and self-erasure, and whose lessons have always been learned the hard way.
What begins as a clearly defined arrangement becomes a story of reckoning and redemption, of agency and imbalance, and of the faith it takes to stay, even when every instinct urges you to walk away.

Summary
An expansion on my answer to @merthurmicrofic's Prompt: Door, on Tumblr.
Merlin grapples with captivity after an alteration with Bandits goes poorly. Surrounded by cold iron and beaten profusely, Merlin starts wishing for death.
Likely to be added to, honestly, and that's more likely if I post my first part here. :)

Summary
Gaius ushers them in. “I was just gathering my things to come check in on you. How are you feeling?”
“Uh, headache. Deeply wrong.” And then Merlin adds offhandedly, “Oh, and like I’ve switched bodies with the Crown Prince of Camelot.”
Or: Merlin and Arthur accidentally swap bodies. This would be a great opportunity for Merlin to relish in making Arthur muck out the stables, if the prat hadn't also gotten Merlin's magic in the exchange.
