Summary
Merlin knows the balance by now, a life for a life and all that. When he steps in to stop Mordred from fulfiing his Destiny, to save Arthur's life, he's ready to offer his in return just as he was ready when he struck the bargain with Nimueh.
He just never thought Arthur would be the one to kill him.

Summary
A year contains 365 days. Each day can be counted in 24 candle marks, so it's possible to burn 8760 marks in the span of the one year Merlin has been dead. Not a single one of them lessen the mournful air that envelops Camelot, and Arthur thinks it will take four times as many before anyone who has known the blue-eyed man with too large ears and too big of a heart can smile and mean it.

Summary
“Arthur." Merlin's voice calls, through the haze of cold and the devastation of death. He lays his forehead against Arthur's back, in-between his shoulder blades when he refuses to turn, blinking the tears from his gaze and holding his head high. “Arthur.” Merlin pleads, forehead still against his back, long fingers holding tightly onto the king's arms, before he rises his face to press a kiss to the back of Arthur's neck and noses along his hair. “Turn around.”
(in which Arthur goes back in time, to find Merlin right after having lost him).

Summary
It's some late hour of the night and the sky outside, dark and starless bleeds into a cloudy morning slowly, like blood diffusing in water, and he could not sleep. War is upon then, and death stalks hungry outside the walls for a prey. They don't know what Camlann will take of them, they only know it will take.
