Summary
“Your friends are all very accomplished spellcasters, bending the very fabric of reality to their will. It must be difficult to be among them without the same gifts…” Beau bristles a bit at that, and Avantika continues, “I know it was for me before I met my…benefactor.” Beau relaxes slightly. “And I know I found talent in other places to make up for it.” Avantika holds eye contact, waiting one second, two, three… Beau’s cheeks color slightly as she seems to take in Avantika’s meaning.
Beau licks her lips, seemingly steeling herself. Her chin lifts as she says “I have a lot of talents you haven’t gotten to see yet. Care for a demonstration?”
Avantika pretends to consider, looking Beau up and down again much more lasciviously. Her eyes snap back to Beau’s and she commands, “Take off your clothes. Kneel at my feet.”

Summary
He needed to do something about Grantaire. He could always ask him out, but dating was to get to know someone. He knew Grantaire.
"No," he later mused to himself, fingering the ring in his pocket, "this is a much better idea."

Summary
Once Bilbo arrives in the haunted stillness of Bag End, his chest aches to realize the house does not feel like a home anymore. His books are still there, his furniture is still there (once he hunts it down and returns it, dusty and fingerprinted, to its correct place.) But still, the feeling of pervasive strangeness remains. He at first chalks it up to having been empty: to a year of disuse, to odd scents filtering their way in and settling like cobwebs in the absence of his usual routine, tea and baking and the drying of herbs. Perhaps, once he begins these things again, it will not feel so cavernous, so lonely, so strangely and painfully bare, like a tree stripped of its leaves come winter.
But weeks pass, and nothing changes. So maybe it’s not the emptiness, but the fact (which he is trying his very hardest to dutifully ignore) that he left his heart behind to crystalize in the caverns of the Lonely Mountain.

Summary
Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.
"Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."
"You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”
“I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”
“No, we tried that.”
“Hanging?”
“I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”
There was another pause.
“I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”
“Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”
“I can’t wait to kill you.”
Or
Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.
