    Summary

    JJ’s not sure how many times it’s happened. He’s confident the number is high, but there’s no way to be certain— it’s not like he keeps a running tally of all the times he’s died.

    That would be a little morbid, all things considered.

    All he knows is that no matter what happens to him, no matter how certain he is that his life should be over, he always wakes back up.

    It would be concerning if it wasn’t so convenient.

    Or,

    Three times JJ wakes up from death without anyone knowing, and one time the Pogues find out.

    Summary

    Odysseus is, for a full second, determined to sacrifice his men. But Eurylochus’s eyes beg him to reconsider, and there is already so much blood on his hands - and then, in the midst of his desperation and fear, Odysseus has an almost violent epiphany: he has been given no time limit.

    And so he shrugs lightly. “That’s true, actually. I don’t want you all to die either.” He looks pointedly away from the swords pointed in his direction, meeting his second-in-command’s gaze with a beam bright enough that the man recoils. “Thanks for bringing that up, Eurylochus! You’ve given me a lot to think about.”

    Summary

    Two sides of the same coin.

    Two halves of a whole.

    Incomplete without the other.

    The issue with being one half of a whole is that you will do anything to keep you other half no matter the cost. Through the canon we see the lengths that Merlin will go to so long as it keeps Arthur alive but what would the man raised by Uther Pendragon do if given the chance. Merlin sacrifices his morals for Arthur.

    How far would Arthur go for love? How much will he sacrifice when he doesn't have any Morals in the first place?

    Or
    This is a canon re-write where Merlin never manages to change Arthur for the better and Arthur will do whatever it takes to keep the other half of his coin at his side.

    Summary

    Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
    Or

    Arthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.

     

    Also, or

    Five times someone realizes that Merlin is the Queen, one time Merlin realizes it himself, and one time he owns it.
