    Summary

    Arthur is working in his chambers, having just banished Merlin after finding out he had powerful magic, not just regular magic like Arthur thought. He was planning on spending the day getting paperwork done and forgetting about Merlin.

    Instead, he suddenly comes face to face with himself from the future, who’s desperately looking for Merlin, and who has quite a story to tell.

    Summary

    By some magical accident, an older Merlin steps into Camelot, 10 years ago. Only now, he's buff and good with a sword, looks good in armour, is a fucking assassin, and claims to be Arthur's husband.

    Or

    "The crest on it means you're a member of the royal family." said Leon, red-faced and about to burst a vein or two, making them all jump.

    "Something like that." Merlin grinned.

    "What?" Arthur choked out.

    "Oh we're married. Did I forget to mention?" Merlin asked with an innocent tilt of his head

    Or

    "Relax, darling. I've been begging His Royal Prat-ness for a vacation for ages. I'm starting to think you actually want to see me on my hands and knees."

    Arthur dropped his sword with a clang, felt the need to lie down for a while. Merlin laughed and took a hold of his bicep. "Come." He said. "I'm dying to see everyone."

    And Arthur let himself be man-handled and dragged along like a boy toy. Because this was his life now.

    Summary

    The first half of the first tournament of magic in Camelot in 25 years was not nearly as interesting as Arthur had hoped.

    Thus far, it hadn’t been all that different from the ones he had fought in with his knights, though with more supernatural throwing, shoving, and tripping. Arthur suppressed a pout.

    He didn’t even get to participate in this tournament, and there were few things he loathed more than sitting by and watching a fight.

    Things would probably get more interesting once Merlin entered the fray—the man brought trouble like carcasses attracted flies—and he would be competing with Albion’s other court sorcerers. Merlin made him feel a great many things, but he strongly doubted boredom would ever be one of them.

    Summary

    "Death"

    "You are finally ready, I see"

    "Ready for what?"

    "To live"

    "Wasn't I doing just that?"

    "Were you?"

    Harry had no answer.
    (Perhaps that was answer enough. Or perhaps Death just enjoyed being cryptic. Hard to say.)
    ___

     

    {Time-travel AU. Watch as Harry is yeeted into the past, bullies the wizarding world into making sense, and absolutely refuses to follow Dumbledore’s script. Features excessive worldbuilding (someone's gotta fix this mess), slow-burn romance (because trauma-bonding is hot), and a protagonist who treats destiny like Terms & Conditions—unread and promptly ignored. Happy ending optional, sarcasm mandatory.}

    Summary

    Theodore Nott did not believe the hype about Harry Potter.
    And then Potter summoned a corporeal stag the size of his trust issues.

    Now the stag won’t leave, Potter won’t stop rambling, and Theo might be developing a completely manageable, definitely-not-deranged fascination.

    It’s fine.
    He’s fine.
    Everyone is lying.
