    Summary

    "In the distance, something caught his eye. There was an unassuming little peach tree on the side of a hill. He could feel something about it was unusual, a slight glow to it against the gloomy sky. As he drew closer he realized the tree was growing out of the massive hollow stump of an old dead one. Though it appeared ordinary, there was an energy to it- a very faint spark of the divine that drew Hua Cheng like a moth to a flame.

    He knew, whether intentional or not, this was a grave marker."

    A coffin rescue fic with an alternating PoV.
    Before he can begin to recover from his experience, Xie Lian first must accept he's actually out of the coffin. Hua Cheng wants to avenge his God, even if that's not what he would want.

    Don't worry too much about Lang Qianqiu. He'll have a bad time, but I promise I won't kill him.

    Summary

    Plot: Merlin had fulfilled his destiny. Albion was alive and beautiful, and magic was no longer feared in the land. But nothing ever lasts, does it? Memories gone, and in his ten-year-old form once more, he's traveled over a thousand years in the future. Now, he has a new destiny: He has to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, hide the fact that he's Merlin, and defeat a Dark Lord that's messing with magic he knows nothing about.

    Pairings: Not determined but probably not canon [secondary to plot]

    Rating: Teen [some swearing]

    Disclaimer: I own nothing except my original characters and ideas.

    Summary

    Petunia has no interest in her freak of a sister's son, and so she passes him off to the only family she can think of that's still alive— family that's far, far away from her normal life on Privet Drive.

    Harry Potter disappears and a new boy takes his place, a boy with the best big brother in the world, surrounded by the bright lights and faded rainbow tents of the carnival. He grows up happy, he grows up loved, and he grows up knowing the basics of a good scam. The Wizarding World isn't going to stand a chance.

    (Knowledge of the Mentalist universe is unnecessary)

    Summary

    Arthur dies.

    Camelot burns.

    And yet, despite it all, Merlin survives.
    He persists, long after his friends have perished, experiences the rise and fall of empires, watches man walk on the moon- but Sherlock Holmes?

    Meeting him may cost Merlin everything (Including, predictably, his sanity).

    Or: Merlin decides to move to inner city 20th Century London to pull his life back together. Instead, he meets John Watson and Sherlock Holmes and- well let's just say his life gets a lot more interesting then he had planned on.

     

    [The mature rating is mostly for some more heavy handed crime scene and murder descriptions, as well as some focus on mental health. Don't worry though! We add warnings in the start-of-chapter notes, and mark parts to skip.

    It isn't nearly as serious as the tags suggest, we promise there’s loads of fun stuff in here too to balance out the angst (like ample sass and sarcasm; this is a Sherlock Merlin crossover, after all)]

    Summary

    “…Thanks,” she said hesitantly. “Um… I’m Audrey.”

    “A pleasure to meet you, Audrey.”

    She shivered. “And you are?”

    There was a brief pause, and when the voice spoke again, there was such delight in its tone. “I am Henry.”

    (It was not Henry.)
