Summary
‘His grave-digger remained silent, and Merlin was forced to blink away the haze in his eyes while he took shuddering breaths, trying to remember how to be in the world again. What his eyes first caught, before his vision returned to him fully, was the glint of something metallic covering the body before him. The silhouette was bulky against the sun, and the shoulders were hunched slightly as if carrying a great weight, heaving with deep breaths. Then, he saw the blonde hair, and his breath caught. Finally, his vision came fully to rest on a pair of blue eyes.’
Merlin has almost given up hope waiting for Arthur's return. So of course, that's when Arthur decides to return.

Summary
Merlin is the idiot that serves Arthur his coffee every morning. One day, he gives Arthur a note that says:
Hey, if you're not gay, my friend thinks you're cute. Here's her number: 02076 553421
(And if you are gay, here's mine: 02083 213478)
And Arthur is very heterosexual about the whole thing.
Or,
Merlin slips Arthur his number, and Arthur has a whole gay panic over it. -

Summary
“So, my dear sister. Have you found that love which would free you of mine?”
“I have”, she whispered. “I have found a love that would free me of this love for you brother. I have found God. Or perhaps he sought me out. I shall spend my life in penance for our sin, and I hope to be at peace someday. A hope I have for you too.”
“Ah, of course. God. Have you repented for your sins, Sister? I fear I might not find his forgiveness if I were to do the same. And I shall never find peace now that I know I have lost your love.”
“You still have my love!” Lucrezia moved quickly towards him before he could reject her again and took his hands in her own, grasping tightly. “You will always have my love.”

Summary
My interpretation on the story will start at Kent, just before the canon proposal and will go until after they are married. I hope to strike a balance between serious, sweet and sexy.

Summary
Being a ghost is not fun and Arthur would know because he’s been one for years, some of the major inconvenients being that no one can see, hear or touch him. The most irritating thing, though, are the people settling in his house as if he didn't exist. Hopefully, it’s not hard to scare them away. Everything changes when he meets Merlin, a very unusual tenant.

Summary
Achilles, the sun casting its last rays around his head like a halo, resplendent and aureate.
Achilles, the soles of his feet flashing pink as he sprints across the beach.
Achilles, slender fingers plucking the strings of his lyre, eyes green like fresh pressed olives. His cat's smile.
"Guess what I'm thinking about," he says.
The robin that flew over our heads but a minute past. The dream he had last night of a ship with purple sails, its prow slicing the waves of the Aegean sea. The wooden amulet that hangs about the augur's neck. This and this and this.
"I'll be the first hero to be happy," he would tell me years later. "You're the reason."
A collection of all the scenes we didn't get to see in The Song of Achilles. Follows the timeline of the book.
