Zombie strippers. That's all you need to know.

This is a story about an execution and what happens after, particularly in terms of that whole destiny thing. Merlin/Arthur, if you squint.

Aberforth/Minerva. Mentions of Minerva/Albus and Albus/Gellert. Aberforth knows he's not better than his brother at much, but in some areas he still holds the upper hand.

Predictably, Neville is in a greenhouse. This isn't just any old glass box, though; it's his favourite ... Neville's in his own private world, and he can't tell he's trapped because the walls are covered in vines.

Uther tells Arthur that Merlin seems rather pathetic. Arthur's not sure whether or not he agrees. Written for the prompt "bladeplay" for the Merlin comm kinkelot.
