A/N: Alright, chaps. New plan. I am still going to continue this, but I'm also trying to venture into new fandoms. (Stretch my wings, so to speak.) Hence I'm going to be creating a couple of drabble fics just to try my hand at other shows, movies, etc. So this fic is sorta going to be combined with them and rotated as my muse decides. Therefore, updates may become more irregular or more frequent. That being said, if any of ya'll have prompts/requests, feel free to include them in a PM or review and I'll see what I can do. :)
It's been three weeks since Jessica died, since she burned on a ceiling, stomach sliced open, and Dean doesn't know what to do. Sam laughs and jokes and pulls bitch-faces at all the right moments, but Dean sees when the smile slides off his face and his exhaustion and sorrow reflects in the window.

Arthur learns about Freya six years after her death. Looking back, he's ashamed it took him that long to finally notice the flinches when the rest of the knights talked about marriage and lovers or the underlying pain each time Arthur cradles Gwen's face and kisses her with a passion that will never fade.
It took nearly three weeks, but eventually Merlin told him about a girl with dark hair, darker eyes, and a shy smile who died before he could take her to a lake far away from sorcerers and fear and destiny.
"The hardest part was not being able to talk about her," whispers Merlin and that cuts Arthur deeper than anything else because he has always known he could confide in Merlin, but Merlin could never confide in him.

Sam slumps on the hood of the Impala, beer cradled loosely in his hands. The car lowers further under their collective weight as Dean sits beside him.
For a moment, it's just them, the midnight sky, and chirping insects in the still air.
"Tell me about Jessica," says Dean.
So Sam does.
