    Summary

    There’s a knock at his door and Merlin curls further in on himself, and all he can see is the woman on the pyre, but now he’s joining her, and the flames are growing, and –

    “Merlin?” It’s Gwaine. Merlin didn’t see him come in but suddenly he’s sitting on the bed in front of him, reaching a hand out to touch but not quite closing the distance. Merlin lets out a sob, in anguish or relief he doesn’t know, and he falls forwards. The knight wraps his arms around Merlin and silently holds him as Merlin cries. The yelling gets louder. Merlin can smell smoke in the air. Gwaine hugs him tighter.

    There are no words.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry. I didn’t know if I could trust you.”

    “You doubted me?”

    “You’ve sworn fealty to Arthur.”

    “Because of you,” he said fiercely. Perhaps too fiercely, for Merlin flinched, eyes wide, and he recoiled slightly. Gwaine’s tone softened, but he didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop, not now, when Merlin still didn’t understand. “My fealty is to you, Merlin. The only reason I’m still in Camelot, the only reason I’m a damn knight at all, is because of you. It’s all for you.”

    Or, backed into a corner by Morgana's men, Merlin finally reveals his magic. Gwaine, in turn, reveals just how much Merlin means to him.

    Summary

    “It had your voice,” he whispers. Jaskier scoffs indignantly, but it’s missing some of his usual bluster.

    “I can assure you, nothing and no one on this Continent has my-

    He cuts himself off, tensing in Geralt’s hold as the words hang above them.

    Luring our men into the forest, the innkeeper's wife had said. They all heard it - their wives, lovers, calling to them in the night. It drove them mad, ripped their hearts out.

    “It had my voice.”
