Taste my lies on your tongue (and listen for the song of my freedom) by Candyredxd

Summary
“I can do magic.” Merlin said.
His voice was as frighteningly clear as it was weak, cutting through the cold air of the forest.
The worst part, Merlin realized, wasn’t waiting for Arthur’s verdict. It wasn’t even the certainty, that, no matter how, it would change them, rip them apart, drive a wedge between them and rob them of everything beautiful they had become.
No, the worst part of it all, was how ridiculously little of a secret Merlin had actually revealed in the end. How much of him, still, even now, remained the harrowing mystery he had turned into, somewhere along the way.

Merlin magic reveal, but make 'em yearn for it. Also, there are bandits. Arthur doesn’t like them very much.

Summary
“He’s not coming,” Luther says impatiently. “Let's just get this over with.”
“Who’s not coming?”
The voice sounds behind them suddenly, and all of them startle and whip around in synchronization.
“Klaus,” Luther hears himself say distantly. “You’re…here.”
Four tilts his head, bringing his hand to his lips and inhaling deeply around the cigarette dangling between his fingers. When he exhales, the smoke curls around his head like a halo before drifting into the air.
“Yeah, well, I would’ve gotten here sooner,” Four says around the cigarette. “But I just really didn’t want to.”
***
Number Four shows up to the funeral three hours late with an iced latte in one hand and a cigarette dangling from the other.
Or; Klaus fled the Academy the day they turned eighteen. He never looked back.
Ten years later, their father dies.
Number Four returns.And none of them quite know what to do with this new version of their black sheep brother.
AKA: Klaus single-handedly stops the apocalypse. It really wasn't that hard, so if everyone could stop looking at him like that, that would be great, thanks.

Summary
“I’m losing my senses, aren’t I?” he said quietly. He clenched his hands on the armrests of the chair. “One by one. I’m losing them.”
He wanted Merlin to make a joke about it. Something deadpan and snarky and so typically him, like, “You never had any sense to begin with, you prat.”
But Merlin didn’t make any jokes, and Arthur almost felt like he couldn’t breathe.
Arthur's world is turned upside down when he's cursed to lose a sense every day.

Summary
Mordred learns he's destined to kill Arthur (bad). Emrys comes and finds him (bad). Emrys... doesn't kill him for it? (good). Emrys decides he's going to be Mordred's friend instead (questionable).
This was written as a bonus scene for my other work "The pyre? I hardly know her" so go and check that one out if you'd like some more context but can also be read as a standalone!
