Summary
“I heard you’re a fan of calculated risks,” the Gentleman says.
Caleb’s jaw sets. “That’s true,” he says. “Are we going to play poker? It’s a children’s game where I come from.”
The Gentleman laughs, just a little. "No, I was suggesting something a little more our speed.”

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic came up in conversation YEARS later as the best Russian Roulette fic I've ever read. It was that memorable. If that doesn't make a work worth Bookmarking, I don't know what does.

Summary
"Sometimes, the greatest strength is in allowing someone else to hold you when the weight becomes too much."
Orym gave a dry, wry smile.
"I'm pretty small. Not sure I have that much weight for anyone to carry."
Essek's gaze stayed soft but steady.
"Even a pebble can cause a landslide when placed properly. Weight like that isn't measured in size, but in impact."
OR
The mission is far from over. Predathos still stirs, Laudna is still hurting, and Orym has no time to fall apart - not when the world might fall with him. But when the weight of Zephrah and Otahan and everything after finally cracks open in an alley in Zadash, it's not one of his friends who finds him.
It's Essek Thelyss, who knows a thing or two about carrying a weight that doesn’t fit inside you.
Later, Dorian comes. And Orym learns something he already knew, but needed to hear:
He doesn’t have to hold it alone.Series

Summary
After a magic reveal, an undue amount of pining, a poorly translated sex ritual, and a requited love confession, all’s well that ends well, right?
Except…Arthur still hasn’t made a confession about the other thing. That tricky little preoccupation with Merlin’s magic and all the ways it could make a mess of him.
Now if he could just…figure out how to explain it.

Summary
One way the battle of Camlann could have gone. On the night before the battle, Merlin only has one request for Gwaine.
"When I'm dead, I want you to remember me for *who* I was, rather than *what* I was. If you can."

Summary
“Merlin, I'm the greatest swordsman in the five kingdoms.” Arthur boasted. “I’ve fought more battles than I can count.”
”I’m aware, sire.”
”And I’ve always survived.”
”Not always.” Merlin muttered.
---
The day Arthur dies is the day Merlin refuses to let end. Again. And again. And again. Merlin’s stuck in a spiral—a dizzying, cruel dance of death and reset. With each attempt, his heart grows heavier, his magic darker, until all he can do is break.
And when the shards of his despair drag Arthur into the storm, the past and present shatter, leaving nothing but raw truth and fragile hope.
Now there's no more running. Just the two of them, the end of the world, and everything left unsaid.
