Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Smart, political Merlin who is kickstarting the creation of a political block of himself, Arthur, Morgana, Leon, Lancelot and Gwen against Uther, all in the name of giving Arthur some decent knights.

Summary
For weeks he’s been nauseous, dizzy, unable to sleep but exhausted. Unwell in ways he couldn’t quite ignore. He’d thought he was getting sick, or maybe his life was catching up to him, all the things he’s been exposed to, the toxic air, the rot of the river, but then his chest had started to ache.
Silco finds himself in a predicament just when everything is about to change.

Summary
Jayce Talis is a Zaunite who has more scars and trauma than cash. He’s tired, broke, and frankly, just trying not to lose his mind. Then Viktor—a reclusive scientist who had been expelled from the Academy—walks into his forge one day.
What unfolds is a tangle of conflicting desires, raw emotions, and a series of poor choices, but no one ever promised it would be easy.

Bookmarker's Notes
A what if where Jayce ends up in Zaun as a kid after his dad’s death and only meets Viktor after he’s picked up by Silco after fleeing the Academy due to trumped up charges.
And they begin building something beautiful together.

Summary
He stares longingly at Viktor, the soft curve of hair around his ear, the twitch of his brow as he works through his confusion of Jayce knowing his name. But of course Jayce does. Knows his name. Knows how long he can sit before he's too stiff to walk. Knows his entire list of dreams to stop suffering of others- all of it blindsided because Jayce’s obsession with the arcane came and ruined everything good in him.
“How do you-”
“I’m sorry.” Jayce isn’t ashamed that his voice breaks, his body shaking with all the hurt of a different timeline, “I never meant- I only wanted to save you.”
Post-Canon Fix it Timeline- Where Jayce can't let go how badly he messed up, Viktor needs a few reasons to break his cycle of withdrawing from others, and they both pretend they aren't the dumbest men in all of Piltover and Zaun combined.

Bookmarker's Notes
Post-canon Jayce and Viktor are transported to an alternate universe (basically time travel) and now we see the beauty of stem majors trying to answer philosophical questions.
These boys are in so much trouble.
