Summary
Merlin can't always use magic to protect Arthur and Camelot, so throughout Merlin's decade spent by Arthur's side, the knights of Camelot teach Merlin a thing or two about holding his own.
Or, 5 times a background knight teaches Merlin a different fighting skill, and the 1 time Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table find out (in the coolest way possible, of course).

Summary
Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”
“Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.
He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.
Nobody knows why Shane Hollander dropped out of the 2009 draft at the last second, and a year later it stuns the whole hockey world when he's signed by the Boston Raiders. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston - but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

Summary
For the prompt: Five times Ilya forgot an English word ... and one time Shane did.
"I am trying to find the right words to say something."
"All right."
"It's poetry."
"Yeah? From you?"
"No. I do not know who. Just something I remember reading once. Think maybe it inspired Russian poet."
"You read at some point in your life?"
Smirking, Ilya wiggles even closer. He whispers, "Want to hear or not?"
Shane's not sure his heart will be able to take it, but he nods.
Or: After the events of Heated Rivalry, Shane and Ilya's connection deepens and vulnerability rises. Sometimes things get so intense, Ilya forgets the English words to describe his emotions. Shane helps. And one time, Ilya does the same for him.
