Summary
Spoilers for episode 98!!
--
"I don't know how to go on without him anymore, Jay."She tilts to look at him, at the ragged edges of her always haunted friend, her brother. She's so scared, so so scared. A deep, terribly dark part of her whispers:
To lose one of them is to lose them both now.
She says nothing. Squeezes Chip's hand and then Gillion's.
Together they watch the spell start to dissipate.
***
He wonders who will tell Edyn. John. Caspian.
Who will tell Ollie why Chip himself is nothing but a ghost, lost as surely as Gillion.
--
It's a race against the whole world for Jay and Chip as Gillion Tidestrider lies alone but for a stranger he's never met. Dying alone.

Summary
Spoilers for up to ep 90!
***
Ollie's return startled Jay enough that Chip could slip past her, finally able to look for their missing counterpart.
Gone. Was the answer. Just.
Gone.
Again.
Admittedly, down through a hole by the looks of it this time. But there was no mop of green hair spread across the surface to let Chip know Gillion had survived the fall and was cheerfully swimming his way back to them.
Not even the ripples of their impact remained far, far, far below.

Summary
She's dozing, gazing up at the occasional star peeking through the dark night-time clouds above, when Astarion steps over her and stays there, just looking down at her. The moonlight is near vanished tonight but the firelight catches in his hair and warms his pale skin.
"I died?" She asks tentatively.
"You didn't die this time."
'This time' bounces round her skull on repeat as he takes the time she gives freely for him to put together his words.
"We were camping outside the city, in the...dream. I left you by the fire, we'd just- I knew we'd just...Hells, why is this so hard?"
***
Astarion doesn't necessarily sleep but that doesn't mean he rests easy. Sometimes the mind goes to the worst case scenario and only their voice, their touch, their care is comfort enough.

Summary
"What?" He snaps. "The truth not meeting your expectations? Lie to yourself, Tav, but don't you dare lie to me, I've had enough of that in my life. I thought- Gods! I honestly let myself believe you when you said you wanted to live with me, that you wanted our future. Together. But no. Of course not. Why wait until now? Why now, after everything?"
"I haven't lied to you," she repeats, knocked off balance by just how bad she has let it get, just how much she has hurt him, and, because she can barely find the courage to look at him with the guilt on her shoulders, she falls back on cursed old habits. "Astarion, my love, I have been busy, too busy, and I am sorry about that but can't we just-"
"Busy? Busy? With what, Tav? What could there possibly be left to do? What is more important than even just saying a gods damned cordial hello in passing? You know Gale came by trying to find you earlier?"
***
They're miscommunicative idiots, Your Honour.

Summary
"Astarion- As- Astarion- Please- Shadowheart, please, where- where is he? I need him safe, I need him here."
"He's here, Tav, see? He's here. You need to breathe for me, your lungs can't take this for much longer. You are going to knock yourself out."
Elizia looks a mess. Her babbling is worse still.
A complete and utter bedraggled mess. Cheeks stained with tears, eyes manic yet unblinking as she darts her gaze over Astarion over and over again. The loose night braids he put in earlier are sleep mussed and he can only hope she hasn't been scratching at her scars again. Shadowheart isn't restraining her wrists so he tentatively guesses not. She is clutching at her stomach though, like she's in physical pain, which she likely is. Her chest is delicate nowadays, the exertion of the panic she's drowning herself in cannot be helping.
"Snap out of it, spawn," Shadowheart hisses, not unkindly.
"Right. Sorry. Yes."

Summary
At first he does not know them for what they are. Curls of bark and shredded leaves. Plaits of grass. Rough garlands of wildflowers. Sticks. Stones.
Then, one day, it is a scrap of cloth. A washed-out red with a deeper stain at its heart, and he knows this cloth, knows even before he hears the dry whisper, "The tears of Emrys my lord. All the waters of Avalon will not wash them out."

Summary
When Arthur closes his eyes and whispers his last goodbye, he is a king and husband. A warrior and diplomat. He is the last true great king of Albion and the one that brought war upon his lands.
When he opens his eyes, he is still all of those things.
But he doesn’t understand.
For one, he is back in his chambers. There is no Guinevere, and the servant that comes through the door is decidedly not Merlin. Arthur asks the lad if he’s dead. The lad fetches Gaius.

Summary
Briefly, Dean wants to scream because he knows the difference between a moat and a levy, he knows why he wants the rice, and he knows that Sammy will never understand because that’s why he did everything he did, dammit, so that Sammy wouldn’t want to hoard rice. But it’s easier, safer to let Sammy think that there’s nothing serious or weak about him. He's worked too long and too hard at molding this rendition of himself to give it up now. To reabsorb the girlish tendencies he’s been purging out of the shell he occupies.
_____
Hunger is one of the first parenting skills Dean learns for Sam. For Jack, he learns nourishment.
