Summary
If you ever come to harm again, think of me and I shall come, he had told her.
There had been snow; cold and shining like diamonds under the sun; and thick, pearly rivulets of bloods staining it.
(A body lying just out of a child's sight and a dagger presented to small and trembling hands.)
Do you promise?, the child had asked, taking the dagger he offered her.
He had nodded, solemn, I promise.

Summary
'Why didn't you come sooner?'
'What do you mean?'
Morgana keeps her gaze away from her. 'You've always known we're sisters and yet you let me stay in Camelot. With Uther,' she adds, a shiver running through her. 'Even without knowing with certainty I'd have magic, you must have expected me to have it. Yet, you left me there. You never came.' Morgana gazes up from her contemplation to stare at her. 'Why?'
Or: Morgana asks her new sister a question.
A missing scene taking place in the second timeline of Both are Light and Dark.

Summary
We are the children of power/ these bones will burn like a live flame/ we were never made to cower/ do not bend, let go of your shame/ this is not your moment of death-
This is your life.

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.

Summary
After Gwen's banishment from Camelot, Morgana seeks her out to confront her about the past.
“Why?” Gwen asks. “Why are you doing this, Morgana?”
Morgana sneers. “As if you don’t know.”
“Does the throne really mean that much to you? That you would do this to me? To Arthur?”
“I don’t give a damn about the throne,” Morgana hisses. “Camelot can burn, and Arthur with it.”
“Then why?!”
Morgana smiles sweetly at her. “So everyone can see you as you truly are, dear Gwen,” she says, a hand coming up to cup Gwen’s cheek. “Unfaithful.”

Summary
Here's what happened. James and Lily had died to protect their son. They had done it all for Harry, did everything they could to ensure his safety and happiness. All for Albus to dump him at Petunia's where he was neglected and abused.
Lily had seen it, sort of. The afterlife was weird like that. You could watch your living loved ones but not directly. It wasn't like turning on the telly and watching their lives. It was more of a feeling with flashes of memories. She could feel her son's pain, his confusion, his fear, his hopelessness. Every once in a while she could see him too, locked up in his little cupboard, not bothering to cry because he knew that tears would only bring more pain. She could feel his hunger, his desperation. It was eating her alive... Well... Not alive. That was the problem.
The afterlife was supposed to bring them peace, it was supposed to be their final resting place, but Lily couldn't rest, not when Harry was wasting away in some dark hole and nobody was doing anything to fix it.
She was his mother, and she was going to fix it. And if that ment dragging her husband and their new friend back through the veil to the land of the living, then so be it.
