Summary
We all write Merlin as a workaholic. But what if he wasn't? What if he had a good support staff and word hard but fast, and only kept the long hours when agents were on very specific missions or something went wrong. His personality is such that people always feel he is around more than he actually is. The older agents are well used to this and know why, but Eggsy doesn't. And then he learns that Merlin has 5 very good reasons not to be a workaholic:
Audra 23
Gretchen 21
Bethany 11
Clara 8
Lacey 6
And oh god, finding out BAMF Merlin is the softest guy ever? Eggsy's heart is completely doomed. Doomed. DOOMED.Series

Harry Potter's Ever Growing Collection of Family by gonzoclock
Fandom Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
13 Mar 2025
Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
