Summary
Does knowing your fate change it? Is the future set in stone or do we chose our path? How would knowing details of your destiny influence the decisions you make?
Or:
What might have happened if Merlin never learned of his destiny, and therefore had to think for himself instead of following the advice of a morally ambiguous dragon.

Summary
He had been on the edge of it, probably a lot longer than he realized. The build up of the break down. Standing just-so on the ledge that still gave him enough sense of stability; that he is still standing on his own—that he did not need help because there was nothing wrong.
Except he was wrong, because Nancy Wheeler just kicked him square in the back and into a full on spiral.

Summary
I [25M] live with my roommate [26M]. I’m worried I might be homophobic towards him?
tl;dr: I’ve never been homophobic before, but whenever I see my gay roommate with other guys it makes me feel like shit and it’s ruining our friendship. How can I stop acting like an asshole and make things go back to normal?
---
Steve moves in with Eddie under the illusion that he's straight. Straight, and weirdly, distressingly invested in his roommate's sex life.
