Summary
Merlin felt them – a weighted, clattering presence – mere moments before Gwaine's soft curse coloured the air. Three bones, increasing in size, hung from a branch, knocked softly against each other: gruesome tokens strung up as toys for the soft breeze. Nor were they the only ones. Every few paces, there were more, nestled in trunk hollows or strung in strange shapes. They picked out a path ever deeper, where the trees grew tall and thick and old, indifferent to the fleeting, human lives that crept beneath their bower.
When Merlin and the others stumble across a grim discovery, it falls to Merlin to set things right. Can he undo the dark magic wrought upon this place, or will the price of the attempt be more than he can possibly afford to pay?
(Based on the word "Lustrate" for Benji)

Summary
Zuko is courting Katara, and with every passing day finds new and insane ways of showing that he would quite literally move the spirit world and earth to make her happy.
In hindsight, it probably would've been better if Sokka had realised he was in love with Zuko at literally any time before this. Or preferably, never fallen for his best friend in the first place.

Summary
Once upon a time a beautiful Prince lived in a shining castle, given anything he could ever want. But the Prince was vain, cruel, and when he turns away an old woman seeking shelter, she reveals herself as an enchantress and curses him.
The beautiful flowers inked on his skin disappear, replaced with horrible black thorns that grow higher every day. "Find the Rose that can bloom among your Thorns, learn to love, and your curse will be lifted." she tells him, but the Prince doesn't know HOW to love, and stripped of his beauty and pride, he resigns himself to life as a monster.
Peter knows there is more to life than what his village holds, and when things go terribly wrong, he runs away. Lost in wintery woods, Peter finds a dark castle, and a mysterious Prince who stays in the shadows, a hood and cloak covering his skin.
In a tale as old as time, between awkward dinners, snow ball fights, reading in the library, and dancing, the Cursed Prince, and the beautiful boy fall in love.
But when Peter leaves, the Prince's heart is broken, and he gives in to his curse.
Is Wade doomed to be a beast forever? Or will Peter come back, and bloom with a Rose that can save him?(re-editing!)
