Summary
Lady Enid managed two days in Camelot before the council composed a formal letter to Arthur questioning Lady Enid’s sanity, and by proxy, his own. [...]
Gwaine sat up and leaned in next to him on the grass, reading over Merlin’s shoulder. “See there, Lord Ellis claims she called him a toad.”
“She did not,” Merlin said and held up the two papers in front of him, “but I marked down the page. She said something about him ‘frogging around’ the issue and, ‘having no leg to stand on’, it was difficult to see how he could ‘jump to such conclusions’.”
Gwaine guffawed and laid down again, his armour clanking as he began to tug on the buckles. “So, she called him a legless toad.”
Merlin settled back against the tree. “I’m impressed Lord Ellis even caught it.”Or: When Arthur invited Lady Enid to inspect Camelot, Merlin thought Arthur lost his mind, but when he lets her stay to wreak further havoc in Camelot, unveiling secrets, upsetting status quos and campaining for a Merlin's own political advancement - be it by marriage or by cunning alone - Merlin is sure Arthur has gone insane for good.

“Got it.” Merlin sat down, warming his hands on his mug. “And…how would I be able to help with that? With upkeep?”
James raised a brow as he reached for his own mug. “Aren’t you some sort of wizard?”
“Sorcerer. Or warlock, technically. I’m working on reclaiming that first one.” Merlin watched the dulled metal of the Sergeant’s hand, leaning back in his chair. “It was a long time ago I bothered with enchanting cogs and wires.”
An offended look crossed James’ face. “My arm doesn’t have any cogs.”
Merlin rolled his eyes. “You know what I meant.”
Or: Merlin regrets not having gotten an engineering degree at some point in his life

“Sergeant Barnes,” Merlin said, laying his jacket over the back of his chair. “I hope you’ll leave my desk alone this time. It’s not an antique quite yet but it’s one of my favourites.”
James turned to look behind him at the chiffonier desk just by the window. With his face in the light, Merlin’s saw the scruff at his jaw and the sunken quality to his cheeks.
“I’ll try.”Or: Merlin is yet again visited by a shadow

“You send him letters.”
“I do.” Merlin shifted on his feet. “It’s a way to get to know each other. A way to share stories.”
“What stories?”
“Memories, mostly.” The curtain blew inwards, a soft spectral movement. Merlin’s gaze flickered between it and the man in front of him. “Sergeant Barnes, are you-?”
He levelled the gun to Merlin’s face and clicked off the safety in one smooth move.
“How do you know that name?”Or: Merlin has an impromptu visitor

Summary
Just as he was about to turn and hail another cab back to his hotel, the lock thumped, and the door swung inwards.
On the other side was a young man. He was thin and tall, shoulders back and a curious tilt to his head. His hair was black and tousled. His eyes – which had met Steve’s immediately – were blue and considering. While he looked young, there was something there in his posture, in his gaze, which felt much, much older.
“Captain Rogers,” the man said, a smile on his face, “I did not think I would see you so soon.”Or: Steve receives a letter from someone who claims to have shared life experiences.

Summary
When Lady Enid Kantor, self-appointed travelling inspector of Albion, makes a visit to Camelot, Merlin's world is thrown upside down.

However, when Arthur, now king, invites the old lady to stay, Merlin has to face the fact that once you move forward, you can rarely go back, and to gain something great, you must dare to lose something good.

Summary
“We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”
It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.
He can’t breathe.
(Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

The Americans are everywhere. Loud, boisterous, drunken, prone to inappropriate touching. These are Grantaire’s people. He’s never been so relieved. Last week it was Belgians, and they wouldn’t even share their alcohol. Never try and drink with Belgians.
