Put Down The World, Soldier Mine.your Body Is Strong, I Know, But You Are Not Granite. Your Shoulders

put down the world, soldier mine. your body is strong, i know, but you are not granite. your shoulders were not made to bend so steep. your knees were not made to buckle so low. your bones were not made to hold so much. Atlas was a condemnation, not a guidebook on how to bear the weight of the world.

rest your wings, soldier mine. you were made to fly, i know, but not like this. the sun above is not meant to be your seduction. the ocean below is not meant to be your enemy. the jetstream is not meant to be your companion. Icarus was a warning, not a challenge to see how high you can soar.

lay down your weapons, soldier mine. you fight so well, i know, but not every battle is yours. your fists are not damned to be perpetual weapons. your scars are not damned to mark you in disgrace. your blood is not damned to spill upon a sword. Achilles was a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual on how to fight to your death.

soldier mine, you are not Atlas nor Icarus nor Achilles.

you are only you, soldier mine, and i am only yours, and we are only this here now.

I love you, Derek Hale. Do you love me?

Yes.

AU where Morgause and Cenred kidnap Hunith instead of Elyan in S3, knowing Arthur will do anything for Merlin

They don’t understand why this small village woman seems so calm, even amused by the situation. Does she not realise what danger she is in? Her son?

But then Merlin “I love my mum” No-Last-Name A.K.A. The Most Powerful Sorcerer Ever to Walk the Earth single handedly breaks down the castle walls and takes down their guards instantly because how dare they take his mum

Honestly, that’s the magic reveal we needed

i love you. i love you, i love you, i love you, and even you cannot convince me otherwise. (j.p.)

Arthur: On a scale of Leon to Lancelot, how impulsive are you feeling right now?

Merlin: *thinking*

Lancelot: I commit identity fraud one time, and suddenly I’m the bad example?

Gwaine: Sorry, you did what?!

Arthur: Would you like a list of the crimes you committed while keeping Merlin’s magic a secret?

Lancelot: …

Merlin: It’s not his fault!

Arthur: And the original question, Merlin?

Merlin: … Lancelot…

Lancelot: Merlin!

Merlin: Sorry.

Arthur: There’s my point. Someone go get Leon to keep an eye on him.

Merlin: I don’t need a babysitter!

Lancelot: I’ll keep Merlin out of trouble, sire.

Merlin: Lancelot can do it.

Arthur: No! The point is to keep you both from being stupid and impulsive!

Gwaine: I am learning so much today.

James, smirking: excuse me, sir, what time do you have to be back in heaven?

Regulus:

Pandora: oh no

Evan: it was nice knowing you, Potter

Dorcas: Reg is going to tear him to shreds!

Barty: oh I can’t lose the show

Regulus:

Regulus: *giggles*

Everyone:

Barty, with horror: he broke him
