Summary
‘I am a seer Emrys. Not a seer such as the likes of the witch Morgana. But a dimensional seer.’ Gahn began. ‘I have seen this future and it is not what the prophecy foretells.’
‘How do I change this? How can I save Arthur’s life?’ Emrys voice wavered even in his mind.
‘For all those versions that the prophecy goes unfilled, there is only one version that succeeds. Only one version where Arthur Pendragon lives a very long life.’
'What was different about that other version? Of that other realm? Why did we only succeed in one reality?’ Merlin asked desperately.
Gahn turned and walked back to Merlin, crouching to bring their faces closer together. ‘Because in every reality you’ve failed, you were as you are now. Young, naïve…’ Gahn ran a gaze down Merlin’s body. ‘….male.’
Merlin froze at the words, ‘What?’
Gahn tilted his head and gave Emrys a sad smile, ‘In the only reality that succeeded, Emrys was a woman.’

Summary
“Arthur? Gwaine? What are you doing here?” Merlin sounded perplexed, as if he couldn’t quite fathom how they had managed to walk out of the castle on their own.
For several seconds, Arthur was distracted by the bloody entrails Merlin and Lancelot had been waving around like bait. The innards--which now hung limply in their grasps--might have been enough to turn a weaker man’s stomach, but they only gave Arthur a moment’s pause because then it hit him how mortifying this whole situation was. Was he really going to ask Merlin if he preferred Arthur over Gwaine?
Apparently Gwaine didn’t have any such qualms. “We were just wondering which of us is your favourite.”
Merlin stared blankly, a sight that was especially absurd given the blood coating his arms all the way to his rolled-up sleeves. “I'm sorry?”

Summary
Sir Thomas had taken a step forward and before he knew it, Merlin was face first in the dirt, one arm twisted cruelly behind him and held down by a knee to the centre of his back. Merlin’s head was spinning, and his cheek—where it was shoved into the solid ground—was throbbing painfully. He swallowed thickly and held back the groan of pain that collected at the back of his throat.
“Haven’t you heard, mutt? Servants should be seen and not heard,” Sir Thomas whispered, lowering Merlin’s arm and placing it almost delicately on the ground. Merlin made a move to push himself up, but Thomas’ grip only tightened, holding Merlin’s arm flat on the ground, his knee still jammed into his back. “Now, I think I’m going to teach you a lesson. You’re going to learn to hold that tongue of yours before I cut it out myself, do I make myself clear?”
