    Summary

    “Klein?”

    A warm hand was pressed against his forehead. The skin was soft, with long fingers, callused yet elegant.

    “Klein, Klein?” a deep voice came urgently. “Are you alright?”

    The poet with a romantic temperament stared at him with serious and concerned eyes.

    Klein thought:

    Mr. Leonard Mitchell is acting very strangely…

    Klein stepped away from the hand that had been checking his temperature, coughed, and looked away. He had just joined the Nighthawks team, and his initial bad impression of this Sequence 8 Midnight Poet was very different from the apparent reality after becoming colleagues:

    He was clingy, overly friendly, and smiled too much!

    Summary

    Through the torn shirt, Leonard could see the flesh squirming. Klein’s severe wound and missing heart were healing very, very slowly but steadily.

    “Uh…” A broken yet soft voice sounded.

    The last thing Klein remembered was the pair of leather boots in front of him and a hand grabbing the urn containing Saint Selena’s ashes.

    Now, all he could see was Leonard’s face, filled with despair.

    Or: What if Klein had resurrected earlier, while still in Blackthorn Security Company, and joined the Red Gloves with Leonard?

    Summary

    After a plague ravages Albion, an orphaned Merlin arrives in Camelot, where he falls in the hands of the criminal Kanen. Too afraid to use his magic, Merlin has no other choice but to join Kanen’s gang of child thieves and steal to survive. Ten months later, Prince Arthur returns from a mission to a crime-infested city and disarrayed court, with King Uther paralysed by grief over Morgana’s death. Determined to restore order, Arthur tackles the task of cleaning up the Lower Town, where he meets Merlin—only to learn that the problems in Camelot run far deeper than he had first thought…

    Summary

    "I'm not sure what I'd have done."
    "And I didn't want to put you in that position.”

    For better or for worse, Arthur knows Merlin's secret. The problem? Merlin doesn't know Arthur knows. This leaves Arthur with a predicament... and an opportunity. A test. Three trials and three opportunities for Merlin to prove he doesn't deserve death. Arthur hopes he will pass them. Maybe then the image of Merlin's golden eyes will stop haunting him.

    Merlin opened his mouth. A noise unlike any sound Arthur had ever heard escaped from it. Loud and rumbling and guttural, inhuman, and in no way, shape, or form could actually be coming from his manservant.

    But it was. And Merlin was speaking.

    "O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes! Erkheo!"

    For a minute, there was complete silence—a silence in which Arthur just stared from behind a tree in an incomprehensive daze.

    But then there was a sound. Both loud and forceful and... familiar.

    The sound of flapping wings.

    AKA an in-depth character study of Arthur. I do not endorse Arthur's actions, but this is what I think he'd do in canon. This was my season 3 prediction!
