So I wrote the first part.. which can 100% be stand-alone but it just doesn’t have a happy ending. may update with the second part if I ever finish it but my people are not cooperating (this part was basically written in one caffeine-fueled night... it was 4am and I was crying because I needed sleep. lol)

Just want to scream into the void how fucking RIDICULOUS it is to expect Dialysis patient and families to pay fucking almost $1,000 a month CO-INSURANCE, that is only $500 less than my RENT, no he doesn't qualify for medicaid, I "make too much" (I can barely afford a 700 sqft 1 bedroom apartment, fucking say i make too much again motherfuckers). no i cannot afford to add him to my work insurance as a secondary because then i would still be paying 1K a month because my work will not help pay for the premium addition like they help pay with mine. this is on top of a 5K deductible, which no, the co-insurance does not cover. he needs Dialysis to live, he need a fucking new kidney but god knows i will never be able to afford that.

I fucking hate this country. I fucking hate every single person who is causing this. I worked my goddamn ass off, work 9-12 hour days minimum 5 days a week, and I still Cant afford to live. this is FUCKED.

Arthur suspected Merlin had magic from the beginning. Possibly since he confessed to being a sorcerer to save Gwen, when she was accused. He didn't have any proof of the claim, but all the instances of a lucky escape or Merlin knowing the correct path have been piling up. And by the time Arthur became King, it was hard to ignore that his manservant, his best friend and closest confidante may have magic.

But then the Disir give him an ultimatum. Both Merlin and Arthur believe bringing magic back will save Mordred, and the keeping it banned will kill him. Arthur wants his knight alive, and maybe through asking Merlin for him opinion will finally prove he is a sorcerer. Maybe Merlin will come clean and Camelot will see a new era of magic.

Yet, Merlin tells him magic has no place in Camelot. Arthur, as kind-hearted as he is, doesn't for a second think that Merlin might want Mordred dead, that's why he's tearing up, right? Because Merlin hates magic, and is so scared of it, he cannot bear to imagine it being legal, even if it means sacrificing a friend. This means Merlin can't possibly be a sorcerer.

So it comes as a surprise to Arthur when Merlin confesses to being a sorcerer. He spent the last months convincing himself that Merlin is scared of magic. How could he use magic when he is scared of it? And then it hits Arthur, as he is lying in Merlin's arms, dying. He wanted Mordred dead because he knew he would kill Arthur. His tears when condemning magic were grief over his freedom.

And as Arthur said his last words, took his last breaths, he realised that Merlin would sacrifice anything for Arthur. A human life, his freedom. The words of the Disir suddenly rang true. He has indeed lost everything by condemning magic once again.

Watched a great talk today about web/technology accessibility, and the speaker pointed out that yes, accessibility is important for people with permanent disabilities, and we should definitely care about that. But also accessibility helps EVERYBODY, because everybody will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in situations that accessible technology can help with. Here are permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities that accessible technology can help with:

Remember that whether something is disabling or not depends on the situation, the environment, the technology, etc. We’re ALL disabled at some point. It is important to support permanently disabled people, but it is also important to remember that accessibility helps us all!
