Summary
The Disir spoke to him, their voices slithering between mouths as if they were one being, rather than three.
"We give you a gift," one said, though it was becoming difficult to keep track of which one.
"And a curse," added another.
"It is for both you and your King." Merlin struggled against their hold but it held him fast, and his vision began to fade in and out.
"Arthur has chosen to lift the ban to save your life, to bow to the old religion and become its follower."
Merlin felt his breath catch, it was too good to be true, everything he wanted, not to be trusted.
"So that perhaps one day you and all our people may forget what it is to hide in the shadows and fear death."
The eyes that met his were soft, even compassionate.
"It is our gift"
"and our curse"
"that for you, Child of Magic, that day has already come to pass."

I’m the worst bleeding night in Camelot,” he moans, muffled.
“What?” Arthur asks, at the same time Merlin placates, “You didn’t know I was possessed to kill him at the time.”

Summary
“What is a ‘field trip’?”
The unexpected question makes me stop in my tracks. I stumble over my own two feet and almost bite my own tongue which is a new low, even for me. If I keep going like this I am never going to beat the clumsy human allegations. At least Rocky is not here. If he’d witnessed my latest embarrassing blunder he would have found ways to tease me about it for a week straight. It’s unfortunate that my class has to see me like this but they are a lot more forgiving and understanding of their ungraceful teacher than my best friend. A fact I like to hold over his head from time to time.
Not that he cares. He maintains that he’s earned the right to mock me as much as he likes after having to watch me stumble and fall repeatedly over the same threshold for four years.
And maybe he’s not wrong.
Don’t ever tell him I said that.
********
There is no way Grace can take the pebbles on a field trip. At least not without help.

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
She's been staring at the footage for over an hour today, the chase playing on a loop as it had in the days since it happened, Grace's bright yellow jacket a beacon in the blurs of gray buildings, black coats, and dull green grass. She stares at it for so long that it becomes the only thing she sees in her dreams anymore.
PHM_GRACE_RYLAND_9.13.23
She meant to delete it. She meant to put it behind her and focus on the mission, focus on the Astrophage, focus on putting her betrayal so far back in her mind that she could continue living with her choices.
The videos are archived onto the Hail Mary instead.
Eva Stratt will never know.
OR Stratt uploaded the cctv footage of Grace running for his life and Simon finds it, forcing Grace to face that dark spot in his memory
