Summary
"We could have been happy, with a life like this.
Even though his tears, his breaths like jack knives tearing through his lungs, the desperate ache in his chest, he remembers the rumble of Venom’s voice as they’d said it, gentle and as soft as the symbiote’s voice was capable of being. He remembers the warm coil in his heart, the cool press of the window pane against his cheek, his own answering silence. He remembers the secret, slithering black tendril that poked just out of his sleeve to swipe briefly, almost tenderly, at his palm.
Yes, he answers to the memory of V in his head now, to the deafening silence. Yes, I know, but buddy–baby–
“I was happy.” He whispers, or rather, sobs, to the pier, the lapping water, the green towering symbol of freedom, that silence he can’t get used to. I did a shit job of showing it, but I was happy."

"My beautiful, kind, stalwart friend,
My Northern Star,
My heart.
You called me from across Exandria,
Beloved, but I would have come even from
The Hells themselves, to be by your side again."

A pair of poems following Dorian and Orym's thoughts after the end of Episode 111.

Summary
In a world where what one writes on one’s own skin appears on their soulmate’s body in exactly the same place until it’s washed off or fades, no one has ever responded to Steve’s questions written in pen.
Who are you?
Where are you?
And once, out of sheer desperation: Wer bist du?
He has tried writing up and down both arms then across his stomach in pictograms when he reckons that perhaps his soulmate is a double amputee and illiterate, but nothing. No response. He is uncertain why he is so surprised. Everything else about Steve is broken, so why not his soul?
But when he points the Valkyrie downwards to crash into the deep, knowing he is about to die, he spares a few precious seconds to scribble one last message to his possibly-nonexistent, potentially-blind soulmate.
Twenty-five years later, Tony Stark is born with a single phrase on his left forearm written in messy old-fashioned script. And as he grows up, the words never change:
“I love you”
It is both a blessing and a curse.

Summary
The silhouette is backlit from the headlights on the Mini Cooper and he’s maybe hit his head harder than he thought because it almost looks like…

And Merlin feels as though his heart is exploding in his chest because that voice and his real name and as he looks up...the golden hair reflected in the light from the car.
Arthur Pendragon is standing, completely starkers, in the middle of the road leading up to Lake Avalon.

For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
