Summary
Despite what some people (Arthur) think, Merlin was actually a great planner. Unfortunately, there's just not much evidence of that due to his true downfall: once Merlin gets involved, his carefully laid plans somehow always go wrong.
Merlin and Arthur knew slowly reintroducing magic into Camelot would be hard, so they made a plan. They thought about where to start, who would be sympathetic, who wouldn't, how fast was too fast, how slow was too slow, and thousands of other issues. For months they strategized and thought of every eventuality.
So when their plans are completely thrown out the window as a Druid boy is thrown into their lives Merlin knew he shouldn't have been surprised.
Hopefully being a good father doesn't require any more planning.

Summary
Arthur has become the King Merlin had always dreamed him to be. He was loved by his people, noble and commoner alike, and was nothing like his father. Slowly he was growing more and more excited for the future Arthur would bring, one where magic would hopefully be free in Camelot once more.
But, for now, Merlin was focused on a different problem. One that held an equal amount of risk and possibility of ruining the friendship they had built.
Merlin was in love with Arthur.
Or
Sometimes love makes being honest more difficult, not less. After Arthur and Merlin tumble into an accidental relationship, does Merlin have what it takes to confess to being a sorcerer? And does Arthur have what it takes to hear it?
OR
I love Taylor Swift and the songs I Can See You, Cruel Summer, Foolish One, and The Last Time (in that order) felt like they told a story to me, so here it is.

Summary
Merlin heaved a quiet sigh before whispering, “It’s different, Gwaine. You have to remind him how to show his love for you in the right way, not how to love you in the first place. And it’s dramatic, I know, to have this big of a breakdown over something so small, but…” He trailed off, unsure how to finish.
“But it’s about more than just not going to a show, isn’t it?”
Yeah. It was about more.
Or
Arthur got tickets to a show Merlin and him had talked about going to for years and Merlin was more excited for it than he had been for anything in a long time. So how is he supposed to feel when he discovers that Arthur hadn't even thought to invite him in the first place?
OR
A self-indulgent fic where Merlin is sad, but what's there to be done when no one is really in the wrong? Sometimes things just hurt, even when no one wants them to.

Summary
“Arthur, what? No this is not about me being afraid of him taking more of your time! I’m not… I wouldn’t do something like that! I’m being honest with you, that man gives me a bad feeling! One I’ve long since learned to trust,” He looked at Arthur pleadingly, “One I feel I’ve given you ample evidence to trust as well,” He continued sadly.
Maybe it was just another "silly feeling", but Merlin knew this wouldn’t end well.
Or
Merlin knows something is wrong with Arthur's childhood friend that is visiting, but Arthur refuses to see it. They've survived so many trials together: war, grief, realizing years of lies. Will this be the thing that finally causes an irreparable rift?
Merlin's starting to think it might.

Summary
When he had thought he was reassuring Merlin that he was okay with him being a sorcerer, Merlin had thought he was making fun of him for his feelings. Feelings that Arthur not only would never joke about, but also reciprocated.
Gwaine began to understand that there must have been a giant miscommunication and put his head in his hands, “Oh you fools. You’re both complete and utter fools.”
Or
Merlin lost a bet and needs to admit to Arthur that he might be a teeny tiny bit in love with him. Arthur has been waiting for Merlin to tell him that he's a sorcerer. There's no way they can confuse those conversations. Right? (Wrong.)
OR
I heard 'Crushing Me' from Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies and needed to write a silly, angsty, little story about Merlin and Arthur being dumb.

Summary
Not wanting to think on it too much, Stiles took a step forward and passed his hand between the bars, moving the bleeding side closer to Derek’s mouth.
“Not too close, he bites.”
Stiles snatched his hand away just as Derek had been about to lick at it. The snarl he got in response was not comforting.
“He what?” Stiles asked nervously, turning to Deaton.
The man looked a little amused. “Don’t worry, only if he doesn’t like you.”
“Well, he probably hates me, now!” Stiles insisted, turning back to Derek.
He looked extremely displeased.

This was Everything. There’s really nothing more to say. There is not a thing I would change in this whole story. I loved it.
Update: After rereading it, I can honestly say past me was spot on.

Summary
The last thing he remembers is leaving school. It was a half day, as he’d finished his exams early, texted May about staying over at Ned’s place, sent another text to MJ and then a twitch of his spider senses--
Then a pinch at his neck, like a bee sting, but deeper. Darkness. Then here.
Huh. Kidnapped. That’s new. If he was less emotionally dead from finals and sleep deprivation, he’d probably have a stronger and much more appropriate reaction to that.
At least he's got Captain America and the Winter Soldier to keep him company.

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

Summary
“Lady Morgana,” The lord said, his brows furrowing as he took a step back “Pardon me for the assumption, but I was told the king’s ward never left the East tower?” He asked and gestured vaguely around the gardens. Morgana smiled and Merlin smirked from his hiding place as he watched Arthur consider swooping in to save the man, but clearly thinking better of it.
“Ah, of course.” Morgana said “You must be confused. There are two wards of the king. I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet Merlin today.”
Or
Uther took in Balinor’s child as a baby and claimed him as his ward. Merlin thinks he’s being held hostage, but whatever.

This was absolutely brilliant.
After a re-read I’ve decided that it’s still fantastic.
