Summary
When Arthur returns, he barely understands what's happening. First he'd been dead, and now he isn't. Alive, somewhere he doesn't recognize, with a Merlin who isn't quite the man he remembers. But it's Merlin, and that's as good a place to start as any.

Summary
“Will you tell me about what it is that haunts you?” Thomas asks, as forward as ever when shepherding James through his own recalcitrance. There’s no surprise in this, considering that the only things that James has not yet shared are the parts of his history that spook him from the darkness within which he keeps them.
The parts that cannot be spoken without also speaking of John Silver.
A name that is a ghost in his blood; a shadow that breathes alongside him and tethers part of him to the shadows. To expose him now, even to Thomas, may at last serve to banish that ghost to somewhere James cannot follow. Somewhere he’s desired to leave Silver since the moment everything ended, but cannot. Will not. The echo of him is as perplexing and infuriating as the man himself.
And damn it all, James misses him.

If anyone had told Wei Ying a few days ago that he'd get to go on a thrilling road trip with the
unrequitedlove of his life, but only after kidnapping an innocent toddler, he would have laughed himself to death.And, yet. Here he is. Doing exactly that.

Summary
It’s remarkable, James muses, how alike gathering his thoughts in this moment is to finessing his crew back from mutiny. Anticipation knots his shoulders. Control of the situation dances neatly from his grasp, each deed he wishes to confess keeping its distance but watching him with hungry, demanding eyes.
It’s challenging to determine which confessions to watch back; which will turn on him and become the noose with which he hangs. Which ones would put the lever in Thomas’ hands. Which may then convince him to pull it.
Thomas had been willing to pardon pirates, all those years ago. Would he pardon a monster, surrendered at his feet?

Summary
What if Stop wasn't quite as incompetent as the show described him? What if Phayu underestimated Stop's willingness to beat him?
-----
He hadn’t fought an honest fight for a while, but his body knew how to do it. He was good in close-combat. His fingers itched to inflict damage. Had Saifah been by his side, it wouldn’t even have been a question. The two of them versus twenty was a done deal. But he didn’t have Saifah next to him because he told Saifah to bring in the backup, thinking Stop wouldn’t be an issue.
He’d miscalculated.

Summary
Ever since his world crashed into the bowels of Bangkok's criminal underworld, Chay has felt out of his depth. How could he feel otherwise, when he's surrounded by the scions of the Theerapanyakul dynasty, each of them assured and untouchable in the power they wield?
But when the entire family comes together for the awkwardest gathering imaginable, cracks begin to appear in that armour. Kim's armour, specifically.
And Chay is surprised to realise that he's none too pleased to see it.
