    Summary

    Everything that happened before they got here has taken on an unreal quality, such that Sam's no longer really sure how much of it to trust. The Biography of Sam Winchester seems pretty dubious: born, mother killed by supernatural entity, raised in car, commenced fucking brother, locked in box by father. Like. What. So there's that.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Dean sides with John. He doesn't say all the same words, in fact he never says any, but he watches the whole thing and the emotion in his eyes is hate. Of all the various things Sam left back in the box, the one he regrets most is whichever would have made that hurt. But the regret is cursory. Even if they poison him, he finally got the hidden parts of Dean.
    -
    He thinks of the day Dean hit the age Sam is now and the way the world began to curve toward him, toward his swagger and his musculature and his very good teeth and how this brought a whole cataract of humanity falling into his lap, where a little boy with stupid hair and messy cheeks used to sit and chew on his fingers, and thinks, You left first.

    Summary

    When Shen Qingqiu is put on public trial for murder, Huan Hua Palace unveils a memory artefact to expose his past before the entire cultivation world.

    The cultivation world wants him condemned. Huan Hua Palace wants a spectacle. And with a device capable of dragging the past into the light, they are certain they will get both. The verdict has already been written on every face in the room.

    But Shen Qingqiu knows there are fates worse than being called a murderer. There are truths he has survived only by burying. And once the memories begin, the trial becomes something far worse than judgment: not proof, but exposure. Because hidden in Shen Qingqiu’s past is one truth more private than shame, more dangerous than scandal, and far harder to survive than the accusations themselves.

    Summary

    “I know it sounds ridiculous,” Arthur says. “But I can’t stop thinking about him, Guinevere. It’s like I can feel him. His heart right here.”

    He lays his palm over his chest and holds it there. On an impulse, Gwen joins him. Arthur lets his hand fall so that hers can spread out over the thin layer of linen over his skin, and that’s when she feels it.

    Arthur’s heart beats in the usual rhythm, but there is a flutter there, too.

    No, not just a flutter, a full beat between the others and behind it.

    Arthur lifts his face to hers, and Gwen has never been more thankful that he cannot see the horror spreading rapidly across her own.

     

    (To prevent Arthur's death at the Battle of Camlann, Merlin makes a magical exchange - he gives Arthur his heart in exchange for Arthur's sight. Arthur makes it home, but Merlin doesn't, so Gwen sets out to find him and bring him home, only to discover that Merlin isn't exactly the person she thought him to be.)
