    Summary

    She's been staring at the footage for over an hour today, the chase playing on a loop as it had in the days since it happened, Grace's bright yellow jacket a beacon in the blurs of gray buildings, black coats, and dull green grass. She stares at it for so long that it becomes the only thing she sees in her dreams anymore.

    She meant to delete it. She meant to put it behind her and focus on the mission, focus on the Astrophage, focus on putting her betrayal so far back in her mind that she could continue living with her choices.

    The videos are archived onto the Hail Mary instead.

    Summary

    He turns his gaze back to Merlin, face tight as if braced for battle. “What did she do to you?” He asks.

    Of course he does.

    And Merlin tells him. He doesn’t want to, but he doesn’t try to resist either. He submits to the power within him, urging him to go ahead, ruin all that he holds dear with a simple truth.

    “She gave me a truth potion.”

    Or: Merlin is under a truth spell, but Arthur lets him keep his secrets.
