Summary
“Good morning, sweetheart. I guess I should explain a little.
It seems as though you’ve upset the gods. I’m not going to pry. Your business is your own. Still, in doing so they’ve banished you to my island.
Ogygia is hidden, cursed to be unplottable and undiscoverable. No mortal can find it without divine intervention. And once you’re here, only divine intervention will allow you to leave.
I’m sorry. Truly. No one deserves this. But I hope that I can make your time here easy, and peaceful.
If you ever need anything, anything at all, just say it out loud. I'll hear you, and if it's within my power, I'll get it for you.
-Alex”

"Tell me it was Lancelot who felled the beast."
Arthur's voice is unwavering but Merlin feels in his soul that he is begging.
"Arthur," Merlin entreats, hands flattening and curling restlessly against the desk in front of him, shifting forward in his chair. "I- the griffin-"
"Yes or no," Arthur seethes.
OR
Arthur is awake when Merlin enchants the spear that kills the Griffin.

Summary
In another world, Wylan would’ve been strong enough to tell Jesper first.
This was the one that flickered in Wylan’s peripherals most often; it was the one where they were laying together in Jesper’s bedroom—in what could be Wylan’s bedroom, if he accepted the key Jesper had just dropped into his hands.
Or: Wylan versus his missed opportunities to reveal his secret.

Summary
She isn’t blind. She knows Clark has a crush on her. Everyone at the Planet knows that.
But the problem is, the feelings aren’t entirely one-sided. She can’t afford to be distracted, god knows that. Relationships are messy and she’s never been any good at it. Still, the way Clark Kent is staring at her, all too serious, filled with too much wounding devotion, she fears what he’s going to say because she’s always thought he’s perpetually one step shy of declaring his feelings for her — and she doesn’t entirely know what her response will be. Lois usually has her answers for everything.
He steps forward. “I need to tell you something, Lois. Something I should have told you a long time ago.”
And then, moving slowly, deliberately, he takes off his glasses — and just like that, Lois Lane’s entire world tilts off its axis.

"You can take Daisy out to fetch the cloak-"
"How do you know that?"
Arthur closed his eyes, expression riddled with irritation before turning to look at Merlin expectantly.
"Know what?"
“The mare I use. You know I call her Daisy? I never told you that." Merlin explained. Arthur stared for a few moments. He could see the flicker of emotions pass easily over him. Anger, annoyance, exasperation, indignance, and finally acceptance...AKA the Five Stages of Grief (Pendragon Edition).
"You talk to the horse.” He pointed out. Merlin narrowed his eyes.
“I whisper to the horse."
"...am I supposed to not hear it?” Arthur asked. Merlin wondered how likely it would be that he also heard him whispering magical spells if he heard him murmuring to the bloody horse. “Also, only you would choose such a ridiculous name.” He muttered. Merlin swallowed. This wasn't a problem at all, right? Right.
Or
Merlin knows Arthur well. Better than he knew himself apparently. What he hadn't expected was for Arthur to know his servant just as well... This causes problems. (also known as "The Time Merlin Had a Mental Breakdown Over Arthur Being a Normal Human")
