Summary
“What is it this time?” Gaius asked, not even looking up from his work.
“Arthur,” Merlin huffed, slamming the door closed. Gaius glanced at it to make his disapproval clear.
“Go on.”

Summary
There was a song Mamma used to sing at night to Merlin, after she’d tucked him under the old blankets. Merlin never paid much attention to the words, but the tune felt like home. Even if he was hungry, or hurt, or scared, once he was wrapped in the wool that was pulled up to his neck, he knew Mamma would look after him. Everything was okay, because she would always be able to keep him safe.

“Always be you,” he said, once. Merlin hadn’t stopped smiling for the rest of the week.
“I love you,” Arthur whispered, now.
“Course you do,” Merlin nodded. “Same. Obviously.”

Summary
“What can I do for you, Sire?” Gaius asks.
“Is Merlin around?” Arthur says.
A pause. “No.”
“You sure?” Arthur raises an eyebrow.
“He is out gathering herbs.”
“Mind if I come in, then?” Arthur insists. He walks in, without waiting for a response. He is the King, after all.
Merlin is literally just sitting at the table. The idiot didn’t even try to hide. The druids really ought to find a better leader.
*******
Arthur doesn’t want to have to deal with the ways he is different from his father. Merlin is tired of secrets and pretending they don’t both know what is going on. And Arthur doesn’t know much about destiny, but he does know that Merlin isn’t evil, and Gwaine possibly is.
Anyway, the trees have seen it all.Series

Summary
“What d’you mean?”
He does not get an immediate response. Stede, being a bit one-track minded, is still squinting in confusion and distress at the vessel. Edward cannot fathom anything that would be mind boggling and upsetting all in equal measure, until Stede confirmed what he is seeing with an exhaled name.
“...Mary?”
What. No, genuinely. What? Mary… the wife? Mary, of the Bonnet variety? Mary, the woman who Edward distinctly remembers Stede mentioning as part of the reason he left him behind? That Mary?
After tenuously making up and healing their relationship, Ed and Stede spot a vessel in need on the horizon.
Stede never had expected to watch the love of his life and his former wife meet.

Summary
Stede really does try with Calico Jack. Mary's always said that they should attempt to cultivate good relationships with each other's friends...not that she was ever particularly burdened with the task on her end. And not that he and Ed are together--

Summary
The crew's up to something. Ed may not know what yet, but he can smell a plot brewing a mile off. It's not the festival air that's taken over the ship that's got him confused, nor even all the hastily-stifled grins. He's sailed under his share of captains over whose graves he'd have drunk a celebratory bottle of rum, while singing, and then had a nice, long piss to wash the dust off the headstone. No, what's keeping him from cornering the nearest man against a wall with a knife to their throat is all the damn giggling.
He's weathered, joined, and instigated plenty of mutinies in his time, but giggling...that's a new one.

Summary
The guard posted on their barracks gives Ed a weird look as he sneaks back in that night, almost like he wants to bolt. It's not entirely unexpected--though the rest of these idiots may think he's tamed, this one has sound cause to think differently--but the back of his neck prickles a warning at that look of terror all the same.
There isn't much he needs to collect, and he'd packed most of it up before leaving to acquire a dinghy. No sense being weighed down with obvious proof he means to escape. Stede's bunk is already empty, of course, the man himself led off by the guard outside half an hour before, but this is Stede. Best if Ed checks for himself to be sure he didn't leave behind anything important.
Like his stockings. And his shoes. And every fucking thing else save the piss-poor clothes the quartermaster gave him. What the entire fuck?
