Summary
You haven’t seen Crowley have you?”
Their eyes lit up “Ohhh yes! He’s in Heaven!”
Aziraphale’s head which had been turned to examine the rare collections bookshelf, whipped around so fast that he was certain if he was human it would have dislocated a vertebrae.
“He’s what! Did he change his mind?”
Ohhh he knew Crowley wouldn’t leave him!
He turned towards the door ready to leave but stopped in his tracks as Muriel continued.“he didn’t look too pleased to be going.”
She was wringing her hands, face pouting, as if she was scared to disappoint him. Before Aziraphale can ask she continued rambling
“I’m not sure though! all I saw was Mr. Crowley being pushed into the elevators by two angels"Aziraphale pops down to Earth to set things straight with Crowley and realizes that Heaven never had any intention of leaving Crowley alone on Earth. Question is can he save him in time?

Summary
Arthur's eyes widen minutely, and Merlin can see fists tighten by his side, but he doesn't move out of Merlin's grasp, doesn't show any other reaction. And Merlin has never touched Arthur like this, never so unkindly but he's reached a boiling point, the thought of carrying on with this thankless routine is agonising.
His voice is almost a whisper when he speaks next. He leans in closer, unable to look at Arthur anymore, instead he says his next words a breath away from his ear. "You could thank me on your knees and it wouldn't come anywhere close to adequate appreciation."
.
In which Merlin is overwhelmed and underappreciated. Stretched thin between keeping the kingdom safe, playing the role of Arthur’s servant as well as the role of Gaius’ apprentice, and dealing with his magic, he snaps and quits. Arthur, of course, begins to realise the emptiness of life without Merlin. What follows is a mix of frustration, hurt, pining, and, finally, a reunion. Featuring the ever tired and concerned knights of the round table (except Gwaine, he doesn’t really give a shit.)

Summary
The sob that escaped him was a tiny thread of sound, little more than an embellishment upon the air. He did not wail. It was too big for that, too much, all the more painful for being unexpected. Not Arthur's betrothal, but his own reaction to it. It was as if all the nebulous uncertainty of the day had crystallised into a blade.
Worse, he had no one to blame but himself. He had never told Arthur how he felt. It had always seemed like a step too far, and now it was too late.
Tomorrow, he would pick up the pieces of himself and find the strength to bear the scars of it. He would be the friend Arthur needed, and he would pretend that was enough.
Tonight, he mourned.
------
When Arthur announces his courtship to Lady Aveline of Spirehold, Merlin resigns himself to never speaking of his love. Yet the universe has other ideas. Stuck in the same, repeating day, can Merlin find his courage and break free, or will he lose his last chance to speak of what lingers in his heart?
