Subject: Much surprise, very shock… wow
Do tell me all about the nth fuck-up you made, little cousin. Spare no detail.
(Need me to pick you up from campus tomorrow?)
- Morgie
PS It makes everyone smile when they’re emailing a certain snooty uni kid. Take one for the team; the one on your business card’s going to be more professional. If Uther lets you get hired permanently, of course. We don’t condone nepotism in this company.

Subject: pndrgngrls sounds like ‘pendragon girls’
Dearest “Morgie”,
Outdated meme is outdated, and I’m fine, thanks. And well. D’you know the bloke in your Magical Liaisons dept? The other intern you hired, with the hair and those Dumbo ears? (Yes.)
- A
PS I’ll fight my way in fairly. Look forward to losing your VP position to me, harpy.

Subject: how do you know him. why are you on first-name terms
Yes. I had a friends-with-benefits thing with him last year, which ended badly. Egregiously. Broken crockery and a midnight shouting match loud enough to wake neighbours three flats down.

Subject: he’s Gwaine’s little brother!
You are appalling. Do I need to know the circumstances of that break-up?
And what do you want help with?

have taken a strange turn with our snotty baby Wart, I’ll fill all of you in later.

Subject: Merlin and Arthur’s “tryst”
Gwaine, had you known about this?
- Morgana
From: [email protected]
Subject: sort of.
I hadn’t known it was with Wart.
In the interest of full transparency, Merls… may or may not have been arse over teakettle in love with your boy there. He may or may not also have made certain assumptions about the feelings involved in said tryst.
He was a mess for months, but I think he’s fine now. Should be ok if they work together, though I disclaim all responsibility if he ends up stabbing Wart with the pointy end of a pair of scissors.

Subject: you bastard
Bloody hell, Wart wants Merlin back apparently. How protective of an older brother are you?

Subject: born and raised
Merlin is an independent boy, a free spirit, an old soul in a young flesh suit… who runs away whenever I talk to him about safe sex. Make of that what you will.

PS Buying a year’s supply of popcorn now.

Subject: he got in on his own merit, like you
Not happening, you tactless boy. I wash my hands of whatever nefarious plan you’ve cooked up to win back the man whose heart you shattered.

Subject: Not surprised, he’s an absolute genius. Smartest person I know
Look, I need to talk to you about this in person, and I’m tired of hunching over my work computer lest Merlin see what I’m doing. Would you mind telling your PA to let me into your office in about ten minutes? And why do you have an office on the bloody 20th floor while I get a small desk on the 2nd?
