REALLY ironic twist: I wrote this AGES ago and never paid attention to my numbering. However, when I was updating the number list (because this was parked 17 or something), I discovered that this was going to be posted on Tuesday. Today is Tuesday, but yesterday was Tuesday too!

"Yesterday was Monday."

IT WAS TUESDAY!

Yeah, I should explain for any non-Supernatural episodes. Spoilers: At the end of Season 2, Sam dies (unsurprisingly), so Dean sells his soul to bring him back. When Sam finds out, he vows to save Dean. During Season 3, there is an episode called "The Mystery Spot." That Tuesday, the brothers are investigating something supernatural (as per usual) when Dean is shot. He dies in Sam's arms.

Then Sam wakes up, and it's Tuesday again. Sam persuades Dean to explore "The Mystery Spot" during the day instead of at night, and, as consequence, Dean is hit by a car and dies. Who has seen "Groundhog's Day"? *some raise their hands* If you have, you might be seeing where this is going. The episode continues with Dean dying every single one of those Tuesdays with his deaths ranging from getting Wile E Coyoted to poisoned taco. Eventually this was revealed to all be a test from the Trickster, "Loki." Right? That's his name, obviously. Loki. Anyway, he wanted to teach Sam a lesson about trying to foil destiny or something.

Yeah...

Disclaimer: Because of the heat of the moment, I learned that I don't own Merlin.

Prompt: From my brother: Merlin version of "Mystery Spot"; Arthur keeps dying, but he's back alive the next day which is really the same day...Merlin has no idea what's going on.

Rating: T

Genre: Angst

Characters: Arthur, Merlin

Time Frame: Season 5, post "The Disir"

Summary: Merlin relives the same day over and over, continually having to deal with Arthur's death. How many Tuesdays did Merlin have? *hugs him because he lost count*

Let's Go On An Adventure

Arthur stretched. "Ah, wha-"

"Tuesday," Merlin replied darkly.

"How did-"

"How did I know what you were going to say?" Merlin cast his eyes away. "I'll fix this, I promise."

Arthur looked at him in concern. "Wh-"

"Stay there. Wait! There's a black widow under your bed. You're coming with me!"

Arthur raised his brow. "Okay?" He walked to the wardrobe.

Merlin screamed. "Don't! Crossbow!" Merlin's eyes flashed gold.

Arthur nearly choked, but Merlin helped him throw it back up and grabbed his arm.

"Yes, I have magic. Come on. We have work to do."

A very Supernatural related chapter. I've referenced it countless times in the AN and the chapter itself.

Now here's a happy thought. Just how many Tuesdays did Merlin have to live through to decide that it wasn't even worth hiding his magic anymore?

*flees after realizing how unnecessary that comment was*

Yes, I'm aware that black widows shouldn't be living in Britain.

I hid a reference to "A Servant of Two Masters," too.
