Summary
The older man raised an eyebrow. "My brother seems to think you are a god.”
"And you don't?” Percy asked, tilting his head.
Sure, Hazel had once told him that she had only helped him the first time they met because she had feared he was a vengeful god who would have killed her on the spot otherwise. He had thought, of course, that she was only joking.
The man took a minute to answer. "You have the eyes of a god. I feel the urge to submit to you as I would to a god. You have the requisite reverent aura of a divine executioner. But- your smile is still too human.”

Summary
'Magic is as much part of nature as the earth, sea and sky. Other sorcerers who sought out the circle found that their power developed certain affinities. Their abilities became tied to the cycle of the year. There would be one season at which their power was at its peak and another where it lay almost dormant. They became more closely connected to the natural ebb and flow of the world.'
'But?'
'But they were not Emrys. His strength is beyond anything in living memory, and the heights he could reach are, as yet, unknown.' Aglain spread his hands, his shoulders rolling in a graceful shrug. 'I can only tell you that the Tir Na Lei means no harm. Three is the number: the ritual is set. The circle will not call on Emrys again.'

Summary
What Arthur knows: Merlin, his clumsy and foolish servant, is actually quite smart. He’s also loyal, and brave, and in many ways the reason Arthur has so many good people in his life.
The goal: Make Merlin realize how important he is to Arthur, no matter how stubborn he's clearly chosing to be about it.
What Arthur does not know, yet: Merlin has magic. Also they're very slightly a little bit in love.
It's going to take them a while to figure it all out. Meanwhile the knights have known for ages, Gwen figures it out pretty quick, and pretty much all of Camelot has also known ever since that weird peasant stumbled through the gates and challenged the Prince all those years ago.

Summary
If he's honest, Hawks thinks he should be forgiven for not realizing what was happening to him.
Hanahaki is, after all, a fairly obscure condition.
The circumstances needed for someone to be susceptible to the strange and mostly unexplained phenomenon is rather specific. The sort of environment someone has to have grown up in, to yearn so much for love that it makes the fabric of their very body mutate into something that slowly kills you? It's not something most people experience.
Hawks did.
