Summary
Arthur’s heart dropped to his feet. “It’s too hard, Gaius. I can’t do it anymore.” Arthur had never heard Merlin in so much pain before. Not when they’ve been attacked or kidnapped or almost killed. But that, it sounded like Merlin was choking on his own cries, on his own tears, and it took everything Arthur had for him to not ram the door open in that moment. “I can’t keep lying to him. I can’t keep doing this to Arthur!”
Merlin and Gaius were always so busy running around the citadel trying to stop assassins and sorcerers and everything else in-between that they often forgot other people were around. Whether it was the fact that their door being closed didn’t suddenly mean no one would ever be able to hear them, or the fact that talking loudly in a hallway wasn’t a secret place, the two of them seemed to give out more of their treason acts than they knew.
With the Guards and Knights of Camelot stumbling across these two men in various stages of illegal activities, just how long can Merlin stay off the pyre and keep his head? And just how long will it be until it’s Arthur himself who overhears one of their conversations about all the ways they break the law?

Summary
Percy yawns and stretches as he wakes, feeling absurdly well-rested and like he slept without nightmares for the first time since—since when? For some reason, he feels like he normally has nightmares and that this has been the best sleep he’s gotten since forever.
Beside him lies a blonde guy and Percy frowns.
He doesn’t know him—why is he lying next to him?
The blonde guy opens his eyes and turns his head as well. Only to frown at Percy, clearly not recognising him either.AKA, Percy Jackson and Jason Grace wake up in a forest without their memories. Only the clothes that they're wearing and a bag with some provisions and money in their possession. They know they're not where, or even when, they're supposed to be. But how do they get back? How did they even get here? What happened to them? And who is that weird fellow who keeps staring at them?

Summary
The young prince had learned to understand grief and its cruel, burdensome taunts. How the aching loss of someone shook the soul, rumbling like a caged wolf. Jumping to bare its claws and teeth. The unutterable sorrow could darken a humble heart, leaving resentment in its wake. He’d seen the unwavering despair and bitter hatred of a grief-stricken man. Arthur had often grown wary of fangs with callous words and sharp remarks. He skilled himself in hiding discolored bruises with the scent of pride, and hesitation with a perfected smile.
A king could not let a mere bite befall him or even a tear to grace his eye, and a king he would one day be. He was taught well of his duties. How to set an example, be the better of the greatest men.
So, when Arther Pendragon was informed of the king’s death, he only stilled within his bed. A stunned gasp caught in his throat, his hooded eyes downturn to stare at the sheets beneath him…
▂
After the sudden death of Uther Pendragon, Arthur is thrusted into the role of king. As he is haunted by his father’s expectations, he uncovers hidden truths about those he trust. One wonders what destiny has written in the blood and sweat of innocence.

Summary
Merlin arrived in Camelot months ago, as a scrawny fourteen-year-old with nothing to his name but magic that would get him killed. Now he's fifteen, apparently made a good impression with the King and as a reward (?) he gets to be manservant to His Royal Pratness, Jr. himself, and is *also* apparently supposed to keep said monarchal clotpole alive long enough to change the world for the better. And be Gaius's apprentice in the healing rooms. And keep his magic tamped down enough to not have his head detached by way of axe, or skin removed, or burned to a blackened husk, or whatever else the glorious King decides is appropriate punishment for a sorcerer that day.
Now, he's only fifteen. But he can totally handle this, right? Easy peasy.Series

Summary
Merlin can’t get out of bed. There’s a hundred different reasons why he should yet he just can’t bring himself to.
The light from the window hits his eyes, the sounds of the townspeople below fill his ears, boiling herbs burn his nostrils, the scratchy woolen fabric irritates his skin, and the bitter taste of his mouth, dry with disuse, all burden him. All too noticeable. All too present.

Summary
Desperate to save the man who had watched over him for centuries, Aithusa unearthed fragments of a different prophecy—one capable of righting past mistakes and restoring the light that had once dwelled in his Lord’s eyes.
And so, the dragon made a choice.
Aithusa “retrieved” the mortals named within the prophecy, conjuring an earthquake to sweep them into his grasp before catapulting them fifteen hundred years before the world they knew.
They were familiar with the tale of King Arthur, anyway, so they would manage. And having thrived in their own time, why should the sixth century prove any different?
[ or ]
Aithusa could scarcely endure the sight of Merlin mired in gloom, such a pitiful shadow of the man he had first encountered. So, naturally, he unearthed a discarded prophecy—one with the faintest hope of fixing Merlin’s utterly dreadful one.
Cue a dragon causing a not-so-natural disaster, abducting three twenty-first-century young adults, and flinging them headlong into the age of Camelot.

Summary
“Never wander alone, my darling, or Jenny Grinteeth will get you,” Hunith used to say. “Or if you forget, make sure you say the rhyme - that wards her off.”
Jenny Grinteeth leave me be, my mother loves me, leave me be.
Jenny Grinteeth is a game they play. But as Merlin is sucked into life at Camelot, he wanders alone more than ever. He is surrounded by people, but he doubts they love him; they can’t really even know him. The loneliness becomes so routine, he forgets his mother’s warnings and the funny, little rhymes, which might otherwise have saved his life.
